Bardons Step VII : Entity Creation
Posted: Sun Aug 19, 2012 11:31 pm
Ok, there are two translations of Bardon's IIH
In the Hanswille translation, the second method for creating an entitie's "home" specifies using "clay" to mix with beeswax for the doll. Specifically yellow clay. However, in the Ruggeberg translation, it specifies using "loam" to mix with the beeswax for the creation of the doll.
Now, in English, LOAM is a specific type of material composed of sand, silt, and clay.
In the original German book, "Der Weg Zum Wahren Adepten", the word used is "Lehm", which, unfortunately, translates into either, clay OR loam. However, because he's talking about making a statue, it's more likely he's talking about just normal yellow clay. That being the case, it IS a magickal book, and having a material composed of near equal parts of sand, silt, and clay seems more appropriate because of the makeup of silt, being a quartz or quartz-like material.
Has anybody had any experience with this? Or knows for a fact which of the two Bardon is referring to?
Thanks in advance
