How to use the Liber 777

Right.... so mad-ass Crowley (or genius there is a fine line between the two) actually sat down and created this thing called the Liber 777, a fantastic resource for Magick workers of all types. Even though his orignal intention was to bring pomp and circumstance of the MAgickal kind to the "Franterntatis of the A.A, it has proven a valuable resource for workers of Wicca, Chaos Magick and all types of Paths to the like.

A look into the Liber 777 reveal Crowley's opinion of the Rosicrucian Orders, and the Golden Dawn. He says that the leading spirit of the later societies was only found in "Give us this day our daily whisky..", pointing fingers at their penchant for a good time. I found this absolutely ironic, since all men have their vices, and Crowley was not exempt from his. But I put in this chapter to show the view that I do not believe (as Crowley did) that he was the messiah of the "Age of Will". He was a man like all of us are men, and all men contribute to those things they find of interest in some way.

Crowley has tabulated magickal characteristics and energies of Indian, Chinese, Buddist, Christain and Jewish origins in an attempt to create a resource in tune with the phrase "As above, So Below"

The table provides a refference to the magical energies, listing the aboves and the belows.

One way the Magikal Worker can use the reference is by pinpointing one manifestation of the energy...for example in working Jupiter Magick...

In the Table of Correspondences on Table 1, Col VII.... you locate the Sphere of Jupiter, you will see that it is given a Key Scale value of 4. All correponding entities with the same energies as Jupiter, will also have a key scale of 4. Jupiter will correspond to the Hebrw number Chesed, its King scale colour will be Deep Violet, the Egyptian God corresponding to Jupiter will be Amoun or Isis. Jupiter, is the open arms of the Perfected Man, the Indra or Brahma of the Hindu dieties, its plants areOlive and Shamrock, its crystal Amethyst or Sapphire.

Magickal workers can use these objects to surround themselves with the essences of Jupiter, to work on expansion in their life....which is what Jupiter Magick is used for.

I hope that helps clear up some of the comfusion about this bunch of tables.
