The Vision of PAZ (Aethyr 4)

There comes over me the ‘buzzing’ state that heralds an out-of-body experience, but although it fails to develop, neither does it fully recede. It settles into a pulsing rhythm, quite unpleasant, but I decide to put up with it. My body is guided to a specific place, as if I were floating feet-first. This state [...]

The visions of the aethyrs are becoming subtler, harder to attain, and yet – surprisingly – more mundane and personal, as I approach the end of this five-year working. (Or has it been even longer?) The Vision of DEO (Aethyr 7) I’d not had a lucid dream in ages, so this working was an experiment: [...]

I am having a non-lucid dream that my bed is in the office at my place of work. I have an appointment with Sally, to train her in some software I have written. She turns out to be quite personable, but I realise I’m wearing only pyjamas and wonder if they’re clean. I mention this [...]

I am walking on grass, approaching the house where I go on retreat, and I’m full of joy to be back. The feeling that I have come home is so strong that I become conscious. There is a huge field, ringed by trees. I call up at the sky, ‘I wish to scry ZAX, the [...]

It takes a long time before I find the lucid state, but finally I’m in my parents’ house, looking out through the window of my old bedroom, and I realise I must be dreaming. ‘I wish to scry the thirteenth aethyr, ZIM,’ I shout, and push myself through the window, which feels mushy like jelly.

‘By doing certain things certain results will follow,’ wrote Aleister Crowley. Makes sense. But what are the parameters for ‘doing certain things’? For instance, to scry the Enochian aethyrs one recites the Nineteenth Enochian Call. But what is ‘reciting the Nineteenth Enochian Call’? And what happens if we decide not to bother? I tried an [...]

I’m looking at a book that I’ve written, filled with coloured images and text. A critic’s voice says approvingly, ‘It is a book of parodies. Some are gentle and some are cruel, but all are united in being parodies.’ [Perhaps this is a key for how to read what follows.] Then I become aware of [...]

Gremory I was wandering in recreation grounds when I decided to continue the demon experiment. The grass was thin and the soil sandy, so I traced a triangle in the ground with my finger. Two men approached, one of them a colleague from work, and watched me from a respectful distance. The first demon that [...]
