Crowley’s Liber LXXXIV vel Chanokh; see also The
Vision and The Voice.
What exactly is an “æthyr”? Cabalistically these
are “rings” or “spheres” [of consciousness]
progressively closer to the universal godhead.
Per Crowley, each æthyr also awakens certain
kinds of dispositions and perceptions in a magician
who focuses his attention towards it - and may also
provide him with access to related magical tools
and/or weapons.
15. In-Sight
Neither Set/Satan nor an operating Black
Magician, however, would be interested in the [13th-
Century faked] Cabala, nor in “psychoanalyzing” El.
But what the 30 æthyrs seem to comprise is
something actually more personal and intricate: a
progressively more refined perspective of the
magician’s own MindStar: as a “comprehensive
across-section”, not something “broken down by the
eight emanations”. Thus the magician might, in
effect, examine his Khat with 30 different
“resolutions”. The same “lenses” could be applied to
combinations of emanations to discover their
interactions.
These are just some possibilities and
speculations; this is very much a “blank slate” of
FGBM, open to many different experiments and
explorations.
- 269 -
Where LBM is concerned, obviously, the Word of
Set version does not lend itself to the same “casting
emphases” as the LaVey Keys. What in those Keys
seemed to be, in Crowley’s terms, “barbarous words
of evocation” are in the Word of Set simply
straightforward communication and information.
Fortunately the “World of Horrors” is replete with
an abundance of BWoE, so the magician working
himself up to “ritual criticality” should find ample
inspiration ready to hand!

I am within and beyond you, the Highest of

the Universe; whose eyes are the Face of
the Sun and the Dark Fire of Set; who
fashioned your intelligence as his own and
reached forth to exalt you; who entrusted
to you dignity of consciousness; who

beauty; who brought you the key to
knowledge of all lesser things; and who
enshrined in you the Will to Come Into
Being. Lift your voices, then, and recognize
the Highest of Life who thus proclaims your
triumph; whose being is beyond natural life
and death; who came as a flame to your
world and enlightened your desire for
perfection and truth. Arise thus in your

I who am the Highest of Life.

your voices than the manifold winds, for
you are become a Temple such as is not, but

Conceive of the Cosmos as a circle of twelve
divisions alternating between life and death,
binding all creatures save those whom I have
touched. You were given powers greater
than those ordering these divisions and
extending throughout the ages of time, that
- 278 -
with your vision and your voices you might
exercise the Powers of Darkness, sending
ever forth the Black Flame across the Earth
and the expanses of time. Thus you are the
Guardians of perfection and truth. Arise,
then, and witness the wondrous creations
born of your wisdom, even as I am near to
you and the essence of my being is

they came to know their relation to the first

Accursed are they for this foulness! You

The threat of your destruction grows as a

would destroy you as would the rupture of

the Earth itself. Then this one growth would
nourish thousands, even as a foulness of
