| The Temptation of Saint Antony, Robert Auer |
You want to go from the non-smoking Albanian kolkhoz to boarding the ship for Cythera. The trouble is that the Heathen want you to go from boarding the ship for Cythera back to the non-smoking Albanian kolkhoz, and they call that progress — It's the same as with weed: it starts with dreadlocks, reggae and super Jamaican babes, and ends up being medically distributed like a neuroleptic by the government to a youth that lockdowns, curfews and economic collapse have driven completely mad — Magick teaches, in sum, only one thing: go back to the super Jamaican babe before it all ends like in The Shining. — Sir Shumule, 2020
I once deeply shocked a sociology student by revealing to him that I placed the escort at the very top of the human categories. — Sir Shumule
Every woman who unites with me is an avatar of Babalon, a Scarlet Woman, that is, a perspective that GOD offers me upon Himself in response to the specific questions of the spiritual stage I happen to be at at the precise moment of the encounter in question — which, in my case, confers upon the Red Club of Zürich the status of a cathedral, even a basilica.
“Did you know, Sir, that certain disgusting lobbies wanted, last year, to use the “pandemic” as a pretext to demand the definitive closure of Zurich brothels?”
“What can you do, my dear? There is no religion anymore…”
In general, do not joke with Babalon: a magnificent black escort, in a French provincial cork-bar, one night suddenly told me — in one single breath — my entire life story, and gave me the best advice I have ever received in my life, while we were finishing the thirteenth bottle — she was like Paracelsus: extra-lucid when she was seeing double. (Sir Shumule, 2021)
39. So therefore the beginning is delight, and the end is delight, and delight is in the midst, even as the Indus is water in the cavern of the glacier, and water among the greater hills and the lesser hills and through the ramparts of the hills and through the plains, and water at the mouth thereof when it leaps forth into the mighty sea, yea, into the mighty sea.
Commentary: Speaking of mighty sea, let us remember that, in the Jungian Totem Test, therefore in the collective unconscious of the entire human species, the high sea represents the vision the subject has of life.
I recall, moreover, that when asked “What does the high sea evoke for you?”, I myself answered: “I am lounging on the deck of a zillionaire's megayacht, right hand in the champagne cooler, left hand on Rihanna's ass.”
Later, once informed of the meaning, I nuanced it:
Travels are like poker games, and like life itself: we have had highs and lows… we had to endure fools, mediocrities and villains… but all things considered, we had a great time, and we are sorry when it ends… — Sir Shumule, 2009
But let us return to Rihanna's ass, that is, to the idea of delight: The word Delight obviously refers to עֵדֶן, Eden.
We come from it, we return to it, and in reality we never cease to dwell in it: everything that is not completely paradisiacal is a lie.
Note that עֵדֶן — lit. Delights — has the gematria value 124, which is also the numerical value of סגלה יהוה “Peculiar Treasure of GOD” and of חוסן “an Oak”. Now Liber A'ash opens with the words: Gnarled Oak of God (A'ash, 0).
Note also [since Tia wants me to talk about runes, quoting Hadit himself : ‘who doth not understand these runes shall make a great miss’ (AL 2, 27) and the Book of Lapis-Lazuli : ‘write me runes in the sky’ (LLL V:48)], note also, I say, that the name of the rune Ak ᚪ, which on the Wonder-Tree signs the Ninth Sphere, called Yesod in Hebrew, means “Oak”, that this is the Sphere corresponding, on man, to the phallus, source of delights which, when it is hard and powerful — hard and powerful being said, in Hebrew, precisely חוסן — gives access to Paradise.
Finally note that, corresponding to Yesod, Ak ᚪ corresponds to the Subconscious and to Helheim: a man's libido is his ipseity, that is, his divinity in symbolic form, and hell is Paradise disguised as a BDSM dungeon: we incarnate with disastrous karma for exactly the same reasons we go to see a horror movie.

Liber Tzaddi vel Hamus Hermeticus sub figurâ XC
0. In the name of the Lord of Initiation, Amen.
Commentary: The Lord of Initiation is Heru-ra-ha, as it is written (AL I, 49).
Now, Heru-ra-ha is the Sun-God and, by virtue of the Arcana 666, GOD is to the All, and the king to the Particular, as the sun is to the Whole: it is the Mystery that Hermes Trismegistus, of blessed memory, sums up by saying: ‘One can only name truth the sun: after the One and First, it is he whom I recognize as demiurge’ (Stobaeus II, 14), but obviously “666” is even more succinct.
More succinct, indeed! while paradoxically being more developed, since the number 6 represents Tiphareth, we can also say: GOD is to the All, and the king to the Particular, as Beauty is to the Whole (cf. Golden Ratio = ideal measure of all things); or: GOD is to the All, and the king to the Particular, as Harmony is to the Whole, etc.
Heru-ra-ha is, as we know, the puer æternus (in the impeccably Jungian sense of the term): Donald Trump is a great king, because he fully assumes his inner child in his public persona.
Initiation therefore consists in becoming a child again — and that is the whole Path of Heru-ra-ha that I once detailed by writing:
The history of European man is coming to an end, because the culture of domination — i.e. the abandonment of the solar archetype in favor of identification with the ape — has led him into a dead end, and he is looking for a map that will show him at which crossroads he went astray: the sick man declines, turns to the past, and sighs for his healthy hours…
Now, our last truly healthy hours go back to Mû, fifteen thousand years ago, when we lived cradled by Babalon, the Great Callipygian Goddess — long before history, before armies, before usury, before phonetic alphabets and monotheism — always before, before, before…
If there is a future, it lies in the past.
We desperately aspire to find the paradise that existed “when man, beast and flower were one, and death was only a dream”… That is the meaning of the magical experience: to leave history and reintegrate eternity… We are seeking reconnection (in the most rigorously computer-science sense of the term) to truth…
And the truth is that the ego is a phenomenon of pathological origin, that it disappears as one becomes a child again, and that this disappearance brings about the defeat of the culture of domination, of the herd instinct and of materialism.
'Why? Because of the fall of Because, that he is not there again' (AL 3, 20) : by ridding ourselves of the absurd dogmas of science, and of the morbid obsession with consumerism, we discover that there exist within us faerie dimensions and oceans of beauty, which belong to our being and constitute the most important aspect of our lives. — Sir Shumule, 2014
Meditate upon this, dear friends, and go your gorgeous ways under the protection of that spiritual sphere whose centre is everywhere and circumference nowhere, and which we call GOD.
Warm kisses from the Bahamas.
Love is the law, love under will.
