Kabbalistic Scholars?

[veleda]

In a Judiac Kabbalah essay I was reading..

I found this :Hod stems from the word Hodaah meaning to “thank,” “admit,” or “submit.Has anyone read this before

Hmmm, that's a new one. I'm not seeing it anywhere in my library (keeping in mind I don't have a reliable index for the Zohar) or any of my notes. If it's correct, that's a good find!

[veleda]

Thelemic Chaote? This is the first time anyone has described mee as that before!

And by all means, shoot mee a ray of what yoo have going on!

[veleda]

and yes.. it is a very interesting find and I'm wanting to track down source material.. because its exactly what i am going through.

I would usually love to discuss this Kabbalistic stuff, but I'm in the midst of a map/territory experiment that involves avoiding Kabbalistic maps.

[veleda]

sounds like a fascinating experiment!
what are you doing exactly?

[weishaupt]

Simply avoiding using the Kabbalah based systems of GD/Crowley and trying to find other maps to use. I spent a couple of hours working on a map based on an Old Irish Ogham diagram, for instance, but it still has a few kinks in it.

Actually, an idea just came to my while thinking about this right now, trying to use Ogham to design telesmatic images. There are enough corresponding colours, etc. in the Ogham tracts.

I think Yeats and others after him have worked on similar schemes. Fun stuff.

I don't have much on the gratitude aspect per se, but I suppose you see it as submitting to the energy of the divine coming through Netzach, allowing yourself to be filled with it, emerging into the state to make prayer an effective type of communication.

[veleda]

I am not at this time getting any hits between netzach and hod.

The divine flow seems very clearly from Chesed as filtered through Tiferet in the path of the lightning bolt to me.

Now I expect I will be riffing on netzach-hod mysteries at some point.. but haven't been yet.

why are you seeing the energy of the divine as coming through netzach and what does that look like to you?

and yes on allowing oneself to be filled, like a cup, with that energy and make all words prayer.. being a conduit for the divine. i like the way you worded that. :)

[nancyblue]

Of course there is the lightning bolt, but the sephiroth have lots of different relationships, obviously. Hod, Netzach and Yesod have a particular relationship. When I play with with Hod/Netzach I see the energy of pure desire and then the shaping of that into the first space of thought, then moving into the subconscious of Yesod. I found a great quote in Ithell's stuff that really spoke to me about this relationship, but damned if I can find it now.

If you go check out that relationship, you will have a bunch of light bulbs go on, I'll just bet it. Also, look at the relationship between orange and green. Magick. Not pure color opposites, though.

I keep having more thoughts on this. Anyway, to answer your other question, I fly in on the Tuesday following P'Con, so no, I'm missing it.

[veleda]

are you going to be her for PCON?

Dinner on Friday night with heather barry and I and whoever else..

Not something I have come upon. However I tend not to rummage thru trad Jewish QBLH. I get cranky at monotheistic sexists.

[whimsywanderer]

My standing reason for turning my nose up over and over at Kaplah type mysticism. Plan to get over this at least long enough to give it a whirl at some point.
