Vibration of Names

How to vibrate a name

Imagine that the name is a force being channeled down from your Kether (and from G-d/Brahma/The All etc.). Now imagine that the force flows straight down through your pranic tube until it reaches your feet. (Some people stop at the heart and even try to write the name there in glowing white letters). You can try to inhale the force while imagining/projecting the letters of the name being vibrated in front of you if you wish (In the case of Hebrew names, you'll have to know what they look like in Hebrew letters). When the name/force reaches your feet, expel it from you while pronouncing it in a humming/chanting way so that it causes your body to vibrate all over. THE SOUND OF THE NAME SHOULD BE THE ONLY THING IN YOUR MIND WHILE YOU VIBRATE IT. You'll have to experiment to see what pitch and tone works best to cause this vibration to occur. You may have to use a lot of air. If you really can't do this due to sound restrictions (you're not alone in the house/room etc.) then a forceful whisper will be better than nothing so long as you're visualizing the energy and force. After a while, you should be able to vibrate a name and have it vibrate specific parts of your body. Some say that if done properly, the practitioner should break out in a sweat much like in Yogic breathing exercises and have trouble standing at first until he/she gets more practice.

Short Excerpt and Paraphrasing from the Ciceros "Self-Initiation into the Golden Dawn Tradition"

My point is one of comparison here, and I've only reproduced a couple sentences of the text that I felt were necessary as guides to paraphrasing. For anyone interested in expanding the reference section of their personal occult library, I would recommend purchasing the book since it is full of useful exercises and information explained in an easy to understand manner. However, the ceremonies themselves are of questionable value, being nearly impossible to perform adequately by a beginner.

"Certain names or Words of Power when properly vibrated or intoned attract certain energies which are associated with them."

This is an important thought to keep in mind. Words have power when used properly, paying attention to pitch, tone, and imbued with intent.

Related info:

In the past, Hermetic initiates (Egyptian/Hellenic-influenced traditions from the first centuries of the common era) made use of what are now referred to as barbaras names/words of power, which were symbolic words wherein each letter/sound was representative of a particular type of magickal force i.e. zodiacal, planetary etc. Programming one's self to associate specific forces and/or states of consciousness with particular sounds and/or letters, and then vibrating a symbolic word that makes use of those sounds/letters would be a highly effective method of invoking (a conglomeration of) forces during ritual. In some ways, it's a sort of magickal shorthand, since you're using a word to instantly summon a potent force (or collection of forces) rather than having to go through all the repetitive preperatory work to call each one individually right then and there and thus spend additional time and energy during ritual. In essence, all the hard work would have been done in advance to save time later.

There's still a lot of hard work involved in programming an effective word of power in order to make it effective. My point in mentioning that is to emphasise that you're still going to do the work of invocation of individual forces regardless, but putting them into a trigger word form just helps to save time later during ritual or whenever you need to call forth that force (or collection of forces) on the spot and don't have time for a ritual.

 

"The student should first imagine a glowing white Light above the head..."

To make a long story short, the Ciceros have you visualize your Kether first, and then visualize it descending down to your heart or Tiphareth center. They then mention that the letters of the name that you're vibrating are to be imagined in white letters within your heart or Tiphareth center. The name is then pronounced very slowly so that the sound vibrates the entire chest region and then felt through your whole body. You should imagine that the sound of the name is traveling to the furthest regions of the universe (and to infinity). The Ciceros mention (in accordance with other authors on the topic) that the "Vibratory Formula of pronouncing names" usually produces a sensation of slight fatigue and exhilaration when done properly. They also mention (again in accordance with G:.D:. tradition) that only divine names are to be vibrated.

Personal recommendations and observations

I agree that only divine names should be vibrated, as any force that is invoked can potentially leave some residual energy/effects behing in your aura. Beneficial side-effects are always better than harmful ones.

I find that full or regular volume vibration of names is best. A forceful whisper, while being better than nothing, isn't nearly as potent in comparison. I've noticed that a slightly nasal tone is the most effective for me. My breathing is smooth and relaxed all the way through the name, and the force or oomph comes mostly from my gut or solar plexus region. The volume isn't overly loud or strained; it's medium-loud speaking level. Due to the force coming from my gut, the pitch is sometimes slightly lower than my regular speaking voice (though not always - see below). My mouth is usually not full wide open, and my throat is NOT in a proper singing position e.g. as though I am yawning. In fact, I find that a smooth, round singing tone is far less effective for me when vibrating names. A semi-closed mouth, nasally, deep but relaxed straight tone (with no vibrato) pronounced slowly with confidence seems to produce the most obvious energy effects.

I've noticed in my practice that there's a similar action between a musician's drawing of a bow across the string of a cello and the vibration of a word or name. In the same way that a cello string will have a very slight delay before it reaches full volume, there's usually (for me) a slight delay between the time when the word comes out of my mouth and when it reaches full potency (usually while sustaining the last syllable of the word). During regular performance of the Lesser Ritual of the Pentagram, for example, I almost always observe that while I sustain the last syllable of a divine name, the pentagram I'm charging starts to shimmer in front of me, and then radiates waves of force in all directions around it (with the centre remaining still but becomming stronger/more solid).

I like to imagine that the force of my voice creates an energetic friction in the air of the room in the same way that the friction of a violin or cello bow causes a string to sound.

Also, I've found that some names require either higher or lower pitches to be used in order to come through most potently. Higher spiritual names seem to work best with higher pitches and tones that vibrate/stimulate the top of the skull or crown chakra area. More dense or earthy forces work best with lower pitches and tones that stimulate lower parts of the body.

Matching the pitch of the room is a good rule of thumb if you can't decide what pitch to use for a particular name. I usually feel prompted to use specific pitches, but often the most effective pitch will end up being the one that causes sympathetic vibration to occur within the room. If you're not sure what I mean by this, then a simple experiment in a small tiled bathroom will quickly clear things up. Go into a small tiled bathroom - the more echo the better. Then sing a long tone while slowly raising or lowering your pitch until the whole room seems to resonate at the same pitch as your voice. You should notice that at one particular note, your voice sounds louder than normal and that the whole room resonates at that same pitch. You'll probably feel that note vibrating the whole room and everything in it right through your own body.

With practice, you'll develop an intuitive feeling for which pitch to use to match the divine name and room you're working in.

Maintaining a relaxed, confident state of mind that permeates your whole body will help tremendously if you're having trouble learning to vibrate a word effectively. Any feelings of self-consciousness or doubt will hinder your effectiveness, so cultivate that relaxed, open, and comfortable state of mind first.

When charging talismans and using name vibration to invoke divine forces into the names inscribed upon them, I can tell when the proper force has been tapped into and drawn down into the object by whether or not a sudden flow of (higher/divine) energy can be seen rushing down into the talisman (and particularly around the area of the name being vibrated). In the case of Hebrew Angelic names, the flow I'm looking for often starts with a few vivid blue sparks followed by a clean-feeling whitish etherial substance. (This can be seen clairvoyantly moreso than with physical eyes.)

Numerology Life Path

from Numerology@astronogia.com by saravanarajendra

Numerology Life Path

What is Life Path in Numerology?

Many a things have been said about numerology name numbers, But it is the numerology life path which decides whether a number is lucky for a person or not. Life path is the important measurement in determining the path of life one choose. It signifies the final destination of a person in his current life or birth, In other words, Life path can reveal the purpose of ones life in this world.

The Importance of Life Path

Numerology Life path is the sole important factor in choosing a lucky name for a person. Birth date of a person in generally considered, but along with it, it is the life path which dictates the terms. At the end of the day, the very purpose of choosing a fortunate name is to fulfill the souls purpose. That’s why it is of paramount importance to check whether numerology name number is compatible with numerology life path. An incompatible name number and life path can create misfortunes and obstacles in ones life.

How to Calculate Life Path Number?

Life Path number can be easily known from the date of birth. E.g. If a person is born on 7/7/2007, then life path is calculated by adding all the numbers present in birth date. i.e. 7+7+2+0+0+7 = 23 = 5. Hence the life path of above birth date is 5. While calculating life path, the total number is converted to its compound number. The total number is 23, and its compound number is 5. So, the life path is numerology 5.

Birth Date and Life Path having same number

Some people have both their birth date and life path same. i.e.  a person born on 8/1/2006, 8th Jan 2006 has birth date 8 and life path too as 8.  In such cases, the person are deemed as lucky, as they can easily self discover their potential. 9 out of 10 people identify their purpose in life and act according to that, irrespective of a fortunate name. This is mainly because, their character and their true identity are in sync with each other.

Intro to Tarot: The Lovers — A three-card comparison

Published by sarah taylor at 2:49 pm under Daily Astrology, tarot |

By Sarah Taylor

In previous articles in our Intro to Tarot series, we have introduced tarot as a means of communicating with another part of ourselves in order to reconcile our conscious and unconscious aspects. We have explored why it is that tarot is able to work in this way. Last week, we started down a more practical route of learning how to read a particular card.

The Lovers from the Camoin-Jodorowsky Tarot, a restored version of the Marseille Tarot.

It is down this practical route that we continue this week, when we build on what we have learned by comparing and contrasting a specific card from the major arcana as it appears in three different tarot decks:

- The Tarot de Marseille by Alexandre Jodorowsky and Philippe Camoin

- The Thoth Tarot by Lady Freida Harris and Aleister Crowley

- The Xultún Tarot by Peter Balin

The card: The Lovers — number 6 in the major arcana, preceded by The Hierophant (5), and followed by The Chariot (7).

It’s probably fair to say that many of us unacquainted with, or new to, tarot see The Lovers in relatively simplistic terms. I’m not aware of another card that is as immediately recognised and positively received by a querent (the person for whom we are doing a reading). Well over half of the readings that I do have relationship as their focus; and The Lovers seems to amplify any feelings of hope and expectation when it shows up. It also tends to introduce the idea of a sexual element into the reading. In short, it carries a high charge.

But The Lovers means so much more than simply two people falling in love.

Consider this quote in The Way of Tarot by Jodorowsky and Costa (referring to the Marseille card):

We can speculate infinitely on the relationship of the three figures: a boy presenting his fiancée to his mother; a woman discovering her husband with his mistress; a man attempting to choose between two different women, or, as the traditional interpretation views it, between vice and virtue….

The interpretations are inexhaustible. All of them lead us to the conclusion that The Lover is a relational card that depicts the beginning of social life.

Then this one by Michael Owen in The Tarot Codex:

The Lovers card represents an important love relationship in one’s life and particularly the role of choice in love relationships. The beloved may be another man or woman, or it may be a vocation, God, a creative pursuit, or a cause. The Lovers point to all decisions and choices that involve something of heartfelt value to us.

Two books, two different approaches. How are we supposed to understand The Lovers when it is, by all accounts, so complex and so open to interpretation? As always, I believe that we find the answer where knowledge, intuition and the specific reading intersect.

So, by applying and combining our knowledge and intuition, let’s take a closer look at The Lovers from the perspective of three different tarot decks and see what we come up with.

Laying the foundations

As I emphasised in last week’s article, know your card. Even if The Lovers is a tricky one to pin down, let’s work with what we do know.

The Lovers from the Thoth Tarot, by Lady Frieda Harris and Aleister Crowley.

The Lovers is linked with the astrological sign of Gemini — fitting, given that it is symbolised by twins. It is associated with the planet Mercury, and embodies the element air. It is also the first card in the major arcana with more than one central figure: individuality in the first six cards (don’t forget that The Fool — Zero — is counted first) has given way to the collective. It is also the last in a series of cards focused on human figures; the next cards are The Chariot and Strength (or Justice, depending on the deck).

If your tarot deck has a well-regarded book devoted to studying its meaning, then that can be another useful place to look. Why? Because we’re working with the path of least resistance, drawing on information laid down by those who have gone before us. We are tapping into a wisdom that knows how to work closely with the cards. That’s not to say that we need to treat what these books tell us as gospel — we are free to interpret the cards in whichever ways that we intuit work best. But the idea that a reading, like a substance acting on neurons, can cause a reaction that opens up pathways in our psyche appeals to me; and sometimes the information that I glean from a well-chosen book can be invaluable.

Because of this — and I can’t state this emphatically enough — there is no one right way to read a card that can be duplicated each time that particular card comes up. There are myriad differentiating factors, from the knowledge that a reader holds, to the contact that they have with their intuition in the moment; from the question that is being asked of the cards, to the way that the cards choose to combine to create meaning. Therefore, the examples we are going to explore here don’t speak of fixed truths that can be applied time and again. We simply trust that they are the most fitting for the moment.

A visual approach

We can now build on our knowledge by taking a closer look at the three cards.

In the Tarot de Marseille, the figures in the centre and on the right look younger and they are standing facing the same direction. Then there is the figure on the left, who seems to be older, and is visually separate because of the way the figure is facing. The fourth figure is that of a cherub, bow and arrow in hand, with the sun as backdrop.

Now, look at the card in the Thoth Tarot. There seems to be much more going on in this image. Instead of four figures, there are 11, including the snake, lion and eagle in the foreground, and the tall figure, hands outstretched, in the background.

Finally, let’s bring in The Lovers from the Xultún Tarot. This is much simpler, with just two figures against the backdrop of a night sky, the one on the right standing under a temple awning.

The Lovers from the Xultun Tarot, by Peter Balin.

The things that all three images share are the image of a couple; a significant focus on their hands, whether entwined in each other or holding something else; and a certain symmetry described by the figures.

The Marseille and Thoth decks both show cupid, arrow pointing to the ground; a light source emanating from above; the colours red and yellow, a preponderance of pink flesh. Also, like many versions of The Lovers, there is a third figure that the couple stands before, reminiscent of a marriage ceremony — though in the Tarot de Marseille the perspective has shifted so that the third figure is to the left, rather than between and behind the couple.

And what about the differences, of which there are many? These are just a few of the things that stand out for me:

The Thoth Tarot is the only card that has two children mirroring the adults. The adult figures portray racial difference: the white figure with golden hair and burnished crown joins hands with the black figure with dark hair and yellow crown, their other hands holding a cup and a spear respectively. Adult/child, black/white, emotions/physicality. There is a mobius strip encircling the third, larger figure’s arms.

The cupid in the Tarot de Marseille is aiming its arrow between the couple in a way that is more directly involved in their union than in the Thoth. Is this to bind them together? Is it to divide?

The Xultún Tarot has a more organic feel to it than the other two. Here, the overarching swords of the Thoth and the bold, woodcut forms of the Marseille give way to an expanse of sky, stars, green grass, and blossom. Moreover, where there is interaction between the figures in both the Thoth and Marseille, the pair in the Xultún are neither touching nor looking at each other, but holding and focusing on a mirror.

Putting it all together

Now that we:

a) understand the broad principles underlying The Lovers (twins, Gemini, Air, Mercury)

b) see how it fits in the sequence of the major arcana

c) are able to compare and contrast three versions of the same card

we can start to construct an idea of what The Lovers means to us, using our intuition as a guide.

How about The Lovers as a union of opposites, integrated by something larger than the two individuals involved (the sun in the Marseille)? How about The Lovers being not so much a meeting between two people, as a meeting of ideals or different forces (the animals, objects and stylised contrast in the Thoth)? Maybe The Lovers, in its sheer complexity, is striving to embody and hold that complexity under one unifying factor? Perhaps The Lovers shows the opportunity that one has to see oneself more clearly through the mirror of another (the Xultún)? What about the possibility of seeing choice in terms of sacrifice (cupid’s arrow)? Is there an emphasis on exchange and communication, whether between two people, or with oneself (Mercury)?

Slowly, we start to see things take shape. The process asks us to be enquiring, and open to any answers that choose to show themselves. We take an active role in the reading, and yet it is a constant two-way communication with the wisdom in the cards. It’s a little like shopping for clothes. Try things on, by all means. See how things work together. If you don’t like the way something feels, or something doesn’t sit right, take something off and try something new. Refer to the subject of the reading. Double-check yourself. Are you centred? Does something feel amiss? Do you feel in the flow? And ask questions of your querent if you can. This isn’t a competition to see how much you know. This is an exchange of energy, and an exchange of ideas in order to bring something into consciousness.

This is much like The Lovers, in fact.

We might come to The Lovers with our ideas and preconceptions, but a useful learning experience is one that enables us to come away with an expanded vision of what is possible, both in terms of the card and — as those who travel with the tarot — ourselves.

Wiccan Tarot Meaning of the Lovers Card
By Joanne E. Brannan

The Lovers tarot card is concerned with the draw of natural and intense love, and how best to handle it, along with other intense life events such as dream fulfillment.

The Lovers represent the importance of connecting with ones inner spiritual self when drawn to a lover or in other important live events. They represent the ability to act out one’s highest values when dealing with significant and emotional situations. The Lovers card signifies the importance of intuition and responsibility in what can sometimes be confusing and disorientating situations.

This card symbolizes the link between genuine love and our spiritual lives; it often appears when something in the material world is strongly supported by the spiritual realm. The appearance of the Lovers tarot card may often indicate that is important to take time to consider the spiritual side of life and to ground oneself before taking decisions.

When this tarot card manifests its negative aspect — for example, when it appears reversed in a divinatory tarot spread — it may indicate that the link with the spiritual side of life is not healthy, or is even being ignored. This risks irresponsible choices, such as failure to accept true love or a genuine life opportunity. Alternatively, it can represent the act of making inappropriate choices.

The Lovers Tarot Card in Divination

The Lovers appeals to deep aspects of the psyche which may often be masked in everyday life. According to this card's position in a tarot spread, it may indicate spiritual approval of a potential life choice, or a warning to be wary of the consequences of irresponsible action. Always seek the potential relationships between neighboring cards when interpreting a tarot spread that includes the Lovers card.

10 Ways to Pick a Card

10 Ways to Pick a Card

One of the first steps in beginning any reading is picking a card to start with. Whether you are doing a one-card reading or an elaborate spread, you need to start somewhere. Here are ten suggestions to get you started.

1. Off the Top

The simplest way is to shuffle the deck and start dealing the cars off the top of the deck.

2. Cut to the Chase

Another easy method is to cut the deck in half and draw cards from the top and bottom half.

3. Piling it On

Cut the deck into multiple piles, depending upon the spread you have chosen. For a three-card spread, for example, cut the deck into three piles and draw a card off the top of each pile for each of the positions.

4. The Fan

Spread the entire deck out in front of you in an arc or fan shape. Hold your hand slightly above the cards and run it back and forth. When your hand gets warm or you feel a little tingle, stop and choose the card under it. Repeat this process as often as needed.

5. Go Fish

Swirl the cards around on the table into a “pool.” Choose the card or cards that catch your eye.

6. Play the Numbers

Pick a number an count down from the top. For instance, if the number is 7, you’ll start the reading with the 7^th card.

7. Hot Date

Use the date the reading is being done. Or, to personalize the energy even more, use the date of your querent’s birthday. Add and reduce the numbers down as far as they will go and start there.

8. Double Date

If you’re doing a relationship spread, you’ll want the energies of both parties in the reading. First, count down from the top of the deck for Person A and choose their card or cards. Then count up from the bottom of the deck for Person B, using their birth date.

9. The Name of the Game

Another way to personalize the starting point is to use initials. If the name of the querent is Esmeralda, for example, count down A-B-C-D-E to the fifth card and start there.

10. On the Fly

Shuffle the cars until one flies out of the deck.

Tuesday's Eggs, Rotten or Not!

A charm found in the eighteenth century document called A Collection of Magical Secrets describes how to use an egg for divination, even if it is rotten. some mythologies have cosmic eggs, so perhaps this charm harks back to the power of eggs for magical benefits!

To Gain Knowledge Of Everything Through The Medium Of An Egg

Take an egg that has been laid on a Tuesday, then with two fingers rub it with some oil made from honey and as you turn toward the Sun, say:

“I conjure thee, oh egg,

by the God of Heaven and of Earth and of the Air,

that thou showest to me,

that which I ask (here you insert your question)”.

Immediately afterwards, look through the egg and you should see what you wish, even if the egg is rotten.

Prince of Swords Clipped from: http://verenadonath.wordpress.com/2010/08/17/astro-notes-on-august-17-2010-feeling-the-excitement/

In my daily Tarot readings, the Prince of Swords came up 3 days in a row. So I thought I might get a little more detail on the meaning of this card.

by verenadonath in Astro-Talk

The “Prince of Swords”, suggesting a stimulating mental influence. You are active and committed to developing your ideas to their fullest potential. Confident, articulate and quick-witted, your reasoning powers may blossom today. This card refers to a highly intellectual process at work and a great capacity for abstract thinking. It brings excitement into your life either in the form of a dynamic and interesting person with sharp mental faculties and an inquisitive, enthusiastic nature or the attainment of these qualities in yourself.

From Inspiraven - 

The Prince of Swords, also known as The Thinker, represents the airy part of air. He is the true intellectual of the Princes. His domains are intuition and creative thought. He rules from Capricorn to Aquarius. The individual represented by this card is often full of ideas, yet they are often unrelated to practicality. He is intensely clever, rational, and stable, but without commitment to anything, not even his own ideas. He illustrates the qualities of the Aquarian. He charts a new course for others to follow, stirs the hearts of the rebellious, and then stands back to let others finish the task. In order to achieve this degree of intellectual commitment, this individual must be totally free and unrestricted. Therefore, he shuns anything which suggests attachments or ties. He forcefully cuts loose anything that seeks to bind him, whether it be a person, place, belief, or emotion.

From SuperTarot -

A person thus symbolized is purely intellectual. He is full of ideas and designs which tumble over each other. He is a mass of fine ideals unrelated to practical effort. He has all the apparatus of Thought in the highest degree, intensely clever, admirably rational, but unstable of purpose, and in reality indifferent even to his own ideas, as knowing that any one of them is just as good as any other. He reduces everything to unreality by removing its substance and transmuting it to an ideal world of ratiocination which is purely formal and out of relation to any facts, even those upon which it is based.

Heka not Hekate!

When people hear Heka, many think of Hekate. Is the goddess Hekate connected to Heka the Egyptian word for magic? The answer is NO! Heka, as well as being the name of magic, was also the name of the god of magic. Here is an excerpt from the book Heka: The Practices of Ancient Egyptian Ritual and Magic by by starsorceror.

The word heka can mean several things, each contributing to our understanding of the complexities of ancient Egyptian magic. The function of heka is described in the Instruction for Merikara, the Middle Kingdom teaching of the Pharaoh Amenemhet I (c. 2000 BCE):

“He [Re] gave them [mankind] the heka as a weapon in order to ward off the effect of dangerous events.”

Heka was seen as a gift from the sun god Re to mankind (his offspring), a manifestation of his creative energy as an embodiment of his Ba (his soul). It empowered man to create using words and actions, mirroring the sun god’s creation of the universe. Heka can be seen as the creative force or life-giving energy connecting the objects, links and symbols of life with the universe, like a subtle tapestry of energy, which the magician must learn to read if s/he is to effectively work magic.

Heka is also the inherent magical energy (mana or personal power) found within living beings. Different creatures were perceived as possessing different amounts of heka. The gods had the most heka. The pharaoh (as a channel for the divine energy) also had a lot of heka, as did people who were considered unusual, such as dwarfs and people with birth defects. Red hair was considered a sign of having much heka, due to the magical associations with that color. And of course the other class of being with a lot of heka was the dead, hence the use of spells calling on the dead to assist with performing rites.

As well as being the term for magic, Heka was a god, indeed he was the god of magic. Or perhaps it would be more correct to say he was magic, being the divine personification of magic. He is sometimes shown in images as appearing among the crew of the solar barque. He was depicted as a bearded man wearing a lion nemes headdress.

The Chariot

I found this great quote by Joanne E. Brannan about the meaning of the Chariot tarot card:

"The Chariot tarot card represents moving towards one's goals in a determined and steady manner. The Chariot suggests the use of previous life experience in dealing with challenges along with expressing one's true self through worldly work. It can also represent wise introspection leading to self-control and curbing of base instincts.

 

The appearance of the Chariot tarot card may indicate that it is time to take action, that one is ready for an important task either in the outer material world, or within, as a spiritual development. A certain level of confidence or even courage may be called for, perhaps despite feeling unprepared for a situation one must act decisively to the best of one’s ability."
