Then he turned to his disciples and said privately, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see. For I tell you that many prophets and kings wanted to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.” - Luke 10:23

“Iconography is the ancient practice of encoding information in symbols, so that it can be deciphered by future generations despite language barriers. This is what the Chaldeans - the men who taught Daniel -were doing. The problem is that only the elite were given this information. Only those connected to the aristocracy were taught to read it. Which is how Daniel ended up learning it. The Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar sent Daniel to be trained by astrotheurgists. The problem was they were misusing it, wielding it as a way to control the masses.Only kings - and those connected to them - were taught these things. Jesus taught so that all may know. If you knew these things, you became “royalty.” You possessed the knowledge of kings. This is why they kept asking him if he was a king. They didn’t murder him for being a good, loving person who fed the poor. Most of this is still unknown to the masses. It’s been mostly forgotten by the world….which is why the four creatures of Revelation are weeping, and saying no one can be found who can read the scrolls.” - Damien Echols

“There appear to have been two main types of people who practiced magick: those who already possessed a noble, spiritual or royal lineage, the result of generations of intellect, power and wealth, and those who attained such wealth, status and power by becoming magicians.” - https://betweenthepillars.com/2022/03/03/magick-is-the-path-of-warriors-and-kings/ Jesus was called King of the Jews And Jesus was a magician

King Solomon.

Even when magicians aren’t Kings, they are closely associated with Kings and Monarchs. Imhotep, Merlin, John Dee, etc

“ In his writings, Aleister Crowley uses the word ‘Kings’ to refer to Adepts of magick. Not mystic or magi or master, he specifically calls the Adept as a ‘King’.” - https://betweenthepillars.com/2022/03/03/magick-is-the-path-of-warriors-and-kings/

A King within - the outer status or title or riches don’t really matter. The true magician has attained inner sovereignty and royalty of their spirit.

High Magick is true religion, true science, true spirituality - and it is a path for those who are individuals and who seek to become Heroic - not to be a follower and a believer in someone else’s religion…

Every human being has the seed of divinity and royalty within them - but very few ever nurture and grow that seed

Royaly is Divinity. Divinity is Royalty.

All our symbols of royalty are symbols of divinity. Gold is the most perfect substance/metal - Gold is the Kingly metal.

 ”The art of transforming potential into action, is magick. Those who practice this to the highest degree are magicians: individuals who can transform the world, its culture, and the perceptions of those around them through manifesting their Will. That’s what a magician is, a transformer, a spiritual alchemist, just as their own consciousness is transformed by even greater forces and symbols.”

One who rules their own self is capable and fit to rule their reality, and to rule as a leader of others.

Astrotheurgy & High Magick

Theurgic ascent through celestial forces

“What we are teaching in the Magnum Opus curriculum is astrotheurgy - the invocation of celestial energies for the purposes of strengthening, energizing, and ultimately crystallizing the energy system - as well as manifesting changes both within our own consciousness and the outside world.” - Damien Echols, Patreon

• The divine hierarchy: One → Nous → Soul → Stars → Bodies

• The soul’s descent and ascent through the spheres
• Celestial bodies as living intelligences (ensouled)
• Each planetary sphere is a gate of initiation and purification

Theurgy vs. Astrology vs. Magic

• Astrology: Knowledge of celestial influences
• Magic: Will-based manipulation of unseen forces
• Theurgy: Divine invocation for soul salvation and union
• Astrotheurgy: The sacred fusion of all three—aimed at divinization

Paths of High Magick

There are essentially 4 paths that run through ceremonial magick, and each lodge, order, or religion will belong to one of these four traditions. There are : 1 - Solar traditions 2 - Lunar traditions 3 - Stellar traditions 4 - Terrestrial traditions.

Solar traditions rely upon what is known as the formula of the dying god. It includes groups like Christianity, the Golden Dawn, and the outer order of Crowley’s Thelema. Lunar traditions include those of a more feminine energy - from witchcraft to esoteric Judaism. This is the reason the Jewish faith uses a calendar based upon the moon, instead of the modern solar calendar. Stellar traditions are those such as the ancient Sumerian schools, where instead of the sun being the focal point, the highest spiritual hierarchy was the holy trinity of Draco, Ursa Major, and Ursa Minor - or Anu, Enlil, and Enki. Terrestrial traditions are those that establish an understanding of our true nature and establish our inner equilibrium by means of studying the patterns the divine makes throughout nature. The highest masters of the terrestrial traditions were the Druids. - Damien Echols, From his Patreon
