RITUAL OF THE 3° = 8¤ GRADE OF PRACTICUS

This Grade is particularly attributed to the element of Water, and especially refers to the planet Mercury and to the thirty-first and thirtieth paths of HB:Shin and HB:Resh . It opens with the Adoration to the King of the Waters, which is followed by the Advancement. The Theoricus first gives the necessary signs, and then, as before, solemnly pledges himself to secrecy, after which he is conducted to the East and placed between the Mystic Pillars. The "Hierophant" then says to him:

"Before you are the portals of the thirty-first, thirty-second and twenty-ninth paths. Of these, as you already know, the central one leads from the 1ø = 10ø of Zelator to the 2ø = 9ø of Theoricus. That on the left hand, which is now open to you, is the thirty-first, which leads from the 1ø = 10ø of Zelator to the 3ø = 8ø of Practicus. Take in your right hand the Pyramid of Flame, and follow your guide Axiokersa *

* This introduction of the Samothracian mysteries is evidently a straining after effect. They were of a much lower order than the Eleusinian, and a great deal more obscure; in fact, even at the time, people could not define with anything like accuracy what the Kabiri really were. The student will find more concerning these semi-mythical beings in Strabo, Diodorus and Varro. D"llinger says: "This much is undoubted on the joint testimony of Strabo and Mnaseas; the gods whose initiation people received here (Samothrace) were Axieros, "i.e.", Demeter; Axiokersos, "i.e.", Hades; and Axiokersa, "i.e.", Persephone." --- D"llinger, "The Gentile and the Jew," Eng. edition, 1906, vol. i., pp. 172-186.

the Kabir, who leads you through the path of fire.

In this ritual the Three Cabiri are made to represent the triangle of fire, thus: Axieros, the first Kabir, says: "I am the apex of the Triangle of Flame: I am the Solar {270} Fire pouring forth its beams upon the lower world: Life-giving, Life-producing." Then Axiokersos, the second Kabir, says: "I am the left-hand basal angle of the Triangle of Flame: I am Fire, Volcanic and Terrestrial, flashing and flaming through the deep abysses of Earth: Fire rending, fire penetrating, tearing asunder the curtains of Matter; fire constrained; fire tormenting; raging and whirling in lurid storm!" And lastly, Axiokersa, the third Kabir, says: "I am the right-hand basal angle of the Triangle of Flame. I am Fire, Astral and Fluid, winding through the Firmament of Air. I am the life of Being, the vital heat of Existence.

The Hierophant then takes the solid triangular pyramid and explains:

"The solid triangular Pyramid is an appropriate hieroglyph of fire. It is formed of four triangles, three visible and one concealed: which latter is the synthesis of the rest. The three visible triangles represent Fire, Solar, Volcanic and Astral; while the fourth represents latent heat. The three words: HB:Dalet HB:Vau HB:Aleph HB:Bet HB:Vau HB:Aleph HB:Resh HB:Vau HB:Aleph refer to three conditions of heat: Aud, Active; Aub, Passive; *

* Hence: "Odic" force; and "Obi" or "Obeah," witchcraft.

Aur, the Equilibrated; while HB:Shin HB:Aleph (Ash) is the name of Fire."

"The Thirty-first Path of the Sepher Yetzirah, which answereth to the letter HB:Shin , is called the Perpetual Intelligence; and it is so called because it regulateth the motions of the Sun and Moon in their proper order; each in an orbit convenient for it. It is, therefore, the reflection of the sphere of Fire; and the path connecting the material universe, as depicted in Malkuth, with the Pillar of Severity and the side of Geburah through the Sephira Hod."


He then explains to the Theoricus the twentieth Key of the Tarot. It is a glyph of the powers of Fire. The angel crowned with the Sun is Michael, the ruler of Solar Fire.

The serpents which leap in the rainbow are symbols of the fiery Seraphim. The trumpet represents the influence of the Spirit descending upon Binah; and the banner with the cross refers to the four rivers of Paradise. Michael is also Axieros; the left-hand {271} figure Samael, the ruler of Volcanic Fire --- he is also Axiokersos; the right-hand figure is Axiokersa. "These three principal figures form the Triangle of Fire; and they further represent Fire operating in the other three elements of Earth, Water and Air." The central lower figure is Erd, the ruler of latent heat, he is the candidate in the Samothracian mysteries, and rises from the Earth as if to receive and absorb the properties of the other three. The three lower figures form the Hebrew Letter schin, to which Fire is especially referred; the seven Hebrew Yodhs refer to the Sephiroth operating in each of the seven planets, and also to the Schemhamphorasch


The Hierophant then confers on the Theoricus the title of the Thirty- first Path, which ends the first part of the Ceremony of 3ø = 8ø.

The second part consists of the ritual of the Thirtieth Path. The "Hierophant" explains the Solar Greek Cross, and then says:

"The Thirtieth Path of the Sepher Yetzirah, which answereth unto the letter 'Resch,' is called the collecting intelligence; and it is so called because from it astrologers deduce the judgment of the stars, and of the {272} celestial signs, and the perfections of their science, according to the rules of their resolutions. It is therefore the reflection of the Sphere of the Sun; and the Path connecting Yesod with Hod, the Foundation with Splendour."

PRACTICUS 3=8


40There has been much concern and questioning about the nature of the Qlippoth.In the Practicus grade we will not overly expound on the Qlippoth. However, we willemphasize that these names
should not be vibrated
. In understanding the Tree of Lifeand the Qlippoth, imagine that the Tree of Life is two dimensional and that you hold amirror at a downward angle reflecting the Tree of Life. This reflection would be theQlippothic Tree. It is the reflection of the positive Tree, the Tree of growth, the Tree ofLife. So in essence it becomes the Tree of non-life, not negative existence, but anti-existence. It becomes a tree of chaos, not in the way that we think of Ain, but in theway we would think of disharmony. If you want to learn the qualities and the nature ofeach sephira, you should study the Qlippoth on the Tree of Life. For in looking at theQlippoth on the Tree of Life, it is simply a matter of taking the opposite attribute oropposite force. In doing this you will understand the nature of the positive Tree as well,and the vices or problems that can be overcome in each sephira.
