I'm very excited Loagaeth that you are going to give this rite a shot. Looking forward to seeing how this thread evolves. Regarding the ivy, I just selected a vine section of hedera helix with darker leaves. As with most plants darker leaves result from less exposure to sun, so look for vine segment...
This topic is straying…. [ You can trace every single ritual in the PGM back to Zoroaster and then further back to Vedic Agnihotra Priesthood. Show the evidence if such a broad statement is going to be made. I don’t doubt that you will find some instances of ritual similarities (where or when they o...

I think this is because we are looking at entirely different manifestations of the planetary principles. The order generally accepted in Ka...
@leonardo, ive been reading your blog, good stuff! you ever consider writing an article concerning the geometric symbols related to the sephiroth, and the symbols created by planets orbits, and how they relate? i would also be really interested in your take on the differences between the western an...
Good question. The ‘εννεάμορφος is mentioned only in PGM XIII which makes me think he might have something to do with the Graeco-Egyptian concept of Aion since this papyrus is heavily focused on this deity as the representation of the singular godhead. I believe this text is heavily influenced by py...
@leonardo_drakon in the planetary squares section why do you attribute lamed to 50, in the zohar it is attributed to 30? That must be a mistake, nun is 50, lamed is 30.
