1. Let the Divine Light Descend!
This lesson teaches us how from the Divine Unmanifested the creative forces flow into manifestation through the activities of the Goddess. The Goddess clothes herself in Veils of Light and thus she becomes visible for us. She herself is hidden behind these veils. What is the meaning of the Festival of the Lamps that has been celebrated in many cultures?
By means of this path the Sphere of the Sun is directly connected to the Creative Source. By making use of the energies of this path we learn to cloth our Magical Power in the Light of the Logos.
2. The House of Bread
This lesson connects the Creative Source with the big formgiving forces. Form becomes the robe in which Divinity clothes itself. Who are you, and how have you build your life and your environment? Can you juggle with the Creative Forces? Are you a Master over the Elements? Or are you commanded by them? A perfect Mastership over the Four Elements makes you the personalization of the Fifth Element; Spirit. Take responsibility over what happens in your life, and work with the spiritual tools that you have been given during these lessons.
3. The Journey of the Fool
This lesson shows us how we return to earth when we have visited the Highest Heaven of Kether. We have become wise and we have learned the lessons of White Magic. We have seen the Creator from Face-to-Face. And still we are simple fools. The greatest sage is a clown. When we have accessed these heights, we put our wisdom in our buckle and call our dog. We descend and see before us the depths of the Great Abyss. We need to cross that to return to earth.
Kether is simply the Malkuth of the Tree that is on top of it. The greatest Magician is as big an ascete as the beggar on the street. The Wand of Power is the prop whereupon the Beggar for Spirit leans during his long road through his lives.
4. Creation Myths: Enumah Elish
5. Creation Myths: Genesis
In these lessons we will talk about the Creation mythology of different pantheons. We will look at Kether from the Egyptian Tradition, the Jewish tradition and the Mesopotamian Tradition. This is the source from which all White Magical Power comes forth. The Unification with this source is not only the goal of the Mystic, but also of the Magician. 'Every Magician becomes a mystic in the end' say the White Magicians.
Kether is the highest point of the Tree of life, but at the same time it is the lowest step from the Tree that is right above the first one. This is called Jacob's Ladder. Jacob had a vision in which he saw a ladder. Along this ladder angels walked up and down from the highest heaven to the earth. The ladder of Jacob consists of four Trees of Life standing on top of each other. Every Tree represents one of the Qabalistic levels of Creation. After Kether the lessons will continue..... in Malkuth!!!
