Nuit: The Limitless Goddess
"Dans La Nuit" by Sarah Brightman
Dua Nuit!
Some of these musings for today and the next two days might be considered pestilential. I'm not sure. These are just my experiences and thoughts - I highly recommend finding out for yourself, or at very least looking at what other people have to say.
"I am the blue-lidded daughter of Sunset; I am the naked brilliance of the voluptuous night-sky." - AL I.64
"Oh give these clay feet wings to fly, to touch the face of the stars." - Loreena McKennitt
This path is the real huge flying leap, from Tiphareth(unified true self) across the abyss all the way to Kether (the Divine, ineffable unity). Along the way is Da'ath (Knowledge), the false sephira. I've seen it referred to negatively and positively in different sources. In the initiatory (for lack of a better word)context, it's negative. It's the trap of false knowledge, of overanalyzing. (Nope, doesn't sound familiar. Whatever are you talking about? ;) ) To get past and through it requires an incredible effort, a flight/fall into infinity.
Appropriately enough, this path is on the Day of Nuit. She is the beautiful Lady of Infinity, the Egyptian Star Goddess. She embraces all - She is ultimate continuity. ("And the sign shall be my ecstasy, the consciousness of the continuity of existence, the omnipresence of my body" - AL I.26) She calls up to open and to aspire, to reach for Her.
(As I previously mentioned, I'm rather fond of Her. She nudged me some when I was trying to figure out if Thelema would be a good part of my path. Also, part of her instructions is "Wear to me jewels!" :) )
