Thanks Matt, I took a look at the Qliphoth chapter in the Mystical Qabalah. I like her description of how the Qliphoth came to be. I have learnt through other teachings what Qlipoth are associated with each Sephirot, I can look deeper into that if anyone is interested, as that doesn’t seem to elaborated upon by Dion Fortune.

And on the topic of Raphael and Gabriel, I’m working through the 22 Teachings series Hermetic Qabalah 100 and in one of the classes when she introduces the angels, Naha makes two comments.
1. One is that the choice of Repha’el with Tipharet and Michael with Hod or vice versa can be boiled down to personal preference, but we have to make a choice and the above is the choice that Naha has made for teachings, which is consistent with Regardie’s choice, plus endnote 12. on page 142 gives some support for that choice, and Naha mentions that as well, that the choice would be made based on what seems more consistent within all the sources.
2. Naha notes that Repha’el is assigned the cardinal direction of the east, and with Tipharet being associated with the Sun and the Sun rising in the east, that makes sense as well.

And in regards to my connections between the Neteru and the Tree, I refer to Endnote 7 on page 141:
“This list of Egyptian gods corresponding to the Sephiroth is only one of several possible correlations. Bear in mind that the Qabalistic and Egyptian systems are distinct and separate – mapping correspondences between one culture’s spiritual system and another’s is an inexact science at best.”

Hi! I wanted to drop my thoughts about the Neteru (Egyptian Gods) that Regardie proposed. Within a different container I have been fairly deeply learning about the Neteru, and from what I’ve been learning here are my suggestions. What I will do is just name them here, and if anyone wants to go deeper, perhaps we can devote 5-10 minutes for a quick discussion before doing chapters 7-9. I have 2 to 3 suggestions per sphere. In my studies we’ve learned about 64 Neteru. Regardie seems to have chosen at a more surface level (eg. more well known ones), so I’m probably going deeper.
Regardie didn’t discuss Ain/Ain Soph/Ain Soph Aur, but my suggestions are The Neter of Neteru for Ain, Kematef for Ain Soph and Ra for Ain Soph Aur
1. Kether – Nu, Ptah, Meh-Urt
2. Chokmah – Atum, Amon, Shen Ur
3. Mut, Nut, Meskhenet
4. Imhoptep, Kheper-Ra
5. Ma’at, Sekhmet, Seth
6. Ausar, Nefertum, Heru
7. Renenet, Neith
8. Tehuti, Sesheta, Sepdet
9. Khonsu, Akeru, Satet
10. Geb, Auset, Aner-En-Rekh -
I’m re-watching the 5th Name on the recording, and I’m loving the Gematria of 345, how it breaks back down into the single letters of 300, 40, and 5, and Naha’s awesome little alchemical picture of the fire turning the water into messages to Heaven.
And the Sigil of the upright triangle. The whole idea of the pillars of water and fire with the window at the top!!
LOVE.

Thank you for bringing in the cube of space with the 5th name 🙂 I had a clear vision on the east/west axis of Bastet in the East and Sekhmet in the West. I linked Bastet to the 4 of Wands and the idea of the Convergence of Paths. I linked Sekhmet to Strength, to the Serpent and Yesod, so that as I move on this E/W path I attract strength. I then had a clear vision on the north/west axis of Nebt-Het on the South and Ausar and the East. So in that direction I had the ideas of Death and Resurrection. Ausar can also be linked to Mem and the Hanged Man. I feel like this will be a powerful week, attracting strength and positive change into my life. Thanks for guiding us through this amazing work Naha. Michelle.

Hi everyone, my name is Michelle and I’m from Vancouver, BC, Canada!
I was originally drawn to spirituality in general about two years ago as a way to work through some trauma I experienced. I started with meditation and nearly immediately found I can astral travel and channel quite naturally.
I dabbled in this and that until one day I saw an ad from the Shift Network for a course entitled “A Doorway Into the Oracle Arts,” offered by Isis, from the Academy of the Oracle Arts, which is the sister school of 22 Teachings. In this way I found my home in Ritual and Divination. At the end of this course, I found my way into Isis’ Apprenticeship, which is an immersive journey along the Lightning Path.
As part of the Apprenticeship, Naha graciously taught two classes in Tarot, and in this way I was introduced to 22 Teachings. The teachings are similar but different, completely unique, beautifully complementary, a way to bring me to the whole I didn’t know I was looking for until I found it. So now I am here doing the Shem Working and the Pathworking!
I am so excited and blessed to be here with all of you, and look forward to our journey on the Serpent Path.
Much love to all!! Michelle.

As I mentioned in the chat today (January 8th), I’m contemplating creating personal sigils for each of the names as well as the combined names per decan. I’m a bit cautious sharing all of the steps to making the sigil as I want to honour the teacher that passed on the technology. I will say it involves taking the words and turning them into a sigil. I will share the ones I have made so far.

I feel a statement a little further up in the paragraph makes more sense – “To know the vast range of symbols associated with each Path is, of course, the work of a lifetime.”
The filing cabinet makes it seem like the information will be easy to access one we have learned it, but I think the learning never ends, and memory is a tricky thing!

This comment really resonates! I do wish I could completely cloister myself for 6 months and do the Abramelin ritual. Even at the height of quarantine I don’t think I was quite as closeted as the ritual seemed to require. Also loved the poetry in Ch. 12, sad I had to leave early so couldn’t stay to discuss Ch. 12!
