Column 26 in _777 & Other QBL Writings_ was one of several blank ones to fill in your own self, and the new _Magick_ has Column 26 listed as 'Some Greek Gods.' I foresee possible confusion in the future! Oh--and while I have you here , do you know if anything's been written anywhere about the O.T.O. degrees/chakras associations in the Equinox III:10 as far as why's and wherefore's? Or is this something you gotta 'get' on your own? Hmm...all the degrees I've taken so far make sense to me; it's a couple of the ones I *haven't* taken yet that I'm not quite grokkin' so maybe it's a gnosis thing. > IIo inits coming up weekend of Mar. 17th-19th (Alma may not be able to > get off work -bummer- and might have to wait a month or two for > hers); I'll give ya a ring afterwards.

Going ace. :> We just had another meet with the homestudy lady, & Tam's still at or above grade level in everything. Her first article as a music critic for the Reader came out last week, and I'm terribly proud. She did a great job! It's netted her--are you ready?--a Press Pass to the Danzig show here on March 26th. I'm jealous! Thrilled to be going though. Y'all doing anything interesting for the Holy Daze? It'd be bitchin if you and the family could come out *this* way for a visit.

I've probably asked you this twice before, but I'm looking for some decent pointers regarding astrological symbolism, and how to get started in understanding it. To clarify: I've been reading some of your various electronic stuff lately (Enochian Temples and other such), and a) don't really grok the astrological references right off the bat, b) don't want to wade through volumes and volumes of Alice Goodman's Love Signs trying to figure out what some reference to Scorpio means. :) (Heck, one of the comments in your works regarded something about zodiacal signs as opposed to constellations, or vice versa, and I can't even remember which one, or which it was *supposed* to be.)

JN> At the so-called "Abyss", He definitely doesn't believe that crossing the Abyss is possible in his tradition although he states that Crowley uses the unicursal hexagram for crossing the abyss. Could someone explain what the correlaton is between the unicursal hexagram and crossing the abyss? Personally, I'm itching to do some work in that area. I suspect it's tied up with my 8th house energy. When the time's right... He suggests that to claim himself one grade would be equivalent to saying he exists at the level of a choir of angels, and to claim another grade would be saying that he creates like the archangels.

TI> ttettet CP> ??? Do we count those as Teths or Tavs? LOL. I'm glad somebody asked. Speaking of the Opening by Watchtowers ritual (we have briefly in the past) I came across an extra copy of Regardie's _Ceremonial Magic_. It's yours if you want it. Besides this ritual, there's some interesting commentary on the Bornless Ritual. Love is the law, love under will.
