Introduction

 

The aim of the Horus/Maat Lodge is to manifest Double Wanded God-dess. The energies available are the Double Current Shaitan-Aiwass and Maat.

 

The 93 Current manifests as; The twins Ra-Hoor-Khuit and Hoor-paar-Kraat united, the child or centre of the Aeon named Heru-ra-ha.

 

The Maat Current manifests as; The next age or possibly the last named Aeon. The Daughter to follow the Son. The Balancing of Stars in the future in the name of Truth. The lodge is freedom, nothing more. Those who work and are comfortable with the 93 Current can seek the future Aeon if it be their will ! We have envisioned the future and wish to communicate with others who are serious.

 

There is a division or two mandalas in the Horus/Maat Lodge, and these should be remembered. But our purpose is Harmony. 2 = 0

 

Those who are not interested in Mast are invited to join anyway since the law is Do what thou wilt.

 

We are accomplishing the Great Work! Analysis and Synthesis.

 

Manifesto

 

Come, O Warriors, to the Circus of Maya !

Come, Mother Kali, take off your skin and dance in your bones,

writhe to the pounding of Shiva's drum at the Festival of rock and roll!

See the juggler and his deck of cards !

Hear the single silence and the million voices !

See Pan panic and Babalon babble !

Hear Chaos laugh!

See the twin hawks slay, and the Vulture of the cremation ground !

Watch Horus on his horses, and the masks falling from the whirling wheel of stars !

Achieve the alchemies of lust ! Die daily !

See towers fall and Jesus tap-dance from the crucifix !

See God waltzing with the Devil !

Watch the Sun and Moon go out in the Night of Pan, and dance with us in the feather-balance of Maat !

SPACE-MARKS BANISHING

 

AL. 1. 52 If this be not aright; if ye con-found the space-marks, saying: They are one, or saying, They are many; if the ritual be not ever unto me; then expect the direful judgements of Ra-Hoor-Khuit!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This Space-Marks banishing is used by Horus/Maatian Magickians. Soror Andahadna developed the Kaat/Banishment to ''permit clarity of transmission''. Later, Frater Aossic suggested the above space-marks arrangement for that Banishment. Soror Andahadna, Priestess of Maat, traces a vertical ''X'' with the sword-point at each of the compass-points in Her rite.

 

Start in the South to banish working counterclockwise.

What is between the four cardinal points of the compass, inbetween each couple, could very well be a source for 'reactivating ancient atavisms’ !

 

At first looking at this eightfold cross I noticed the four 'inbetweenness concepts', wondering if this term of Austin 0. Spare applied? 1 found in Cults of the Shadow by K. Grant that he made a connection between the eightfold cross & the inbetweenness concepts of A.O.S. I further noticed that only North and South regions are named 'inbetween' on the compass.

 

Northeast Northwest Southwest Southeast

 

The regions of North and South are traditionally very old; it should not be overlooked that atavisms properly activated will resurge from there!

Do what thou wilt It shall be the whole of the Law.

 

Greetings to the Horus/Maat Lodge, present & potential.

 

Everything that has gone before is void. It is always time for a new beginning.

 

The H...M... L... was founded upon the Double Current, 93/696:

 

The Horus current of revolution and ecstasy. which came through the Eye of frater Perdurabo (Aleister Crowley) & others;

 

The Maat current of mystery and mutation, which came through the Triangle of soror Nema and fraters Achad and Belarion (C.S. Jones and J. Parsons) & others.

 

These systems have been found to be excellent springboards from which to Leap into your own True Wilt, a basis for your own individual formulae of magick; and we recommend that ALL the works of the above writers be studied, as we L L as those of K. Grant, C.C. Jung. A.0. Spare. M. Mathers, D. Fortune. R.A. Wilson, C. Wilson, 1. Regardie. P. Huson, N. Drury. T. Leary. W. Reich. J. Lilty, E.A.V Budge. and any other esotericist living or dead that you happen to enjoy. even H.P. Lovecraft or Abra-melim the Mage. entirety as you will. or none of the above, as you will. For further sources see the List in this mailing, the Archives Order Sheet, or (ideally) consult your own pineal gland.

 

However, these are merely suggestions. To date the members of the lodge have published various magazines and pamphlets, held mass get-togethers in person (the Warrior-Lord Workings) and astral workings (Hunting Lodge. Elevenstar. etc.), and formed a loose network of correspondence and communication a very loose network. At ALL times the lodge is in a state of flux, which is just fine, since evotutionary change is what magick is all about. There are no degrees, lessons, laws, requirements or restrictions, of any kind, save truth as best we know it. Your suggestions are eagerly invited; we can go anywhere from here.

 

An of now there are only two types of member: Active (those who communicate And/or contribute to the Archives) and Inactive (those who do not). It's up to you. The Inner Council, which is simply a flashy way of saying 'the five people who founded this thing". take the responsibitity of centralizing communication at this time; and if you are Active we would appreciate your dropping a Line to us c/o Mandragore. Send us your ideas. your art. your dreams. your current address. is you are Inactive, feel free to communicate at any time .

 

Feel free to involve other interested parties m there is a suggested initiation ritual enclosed. Please keep in touch, and best wishes for a delightful year 80 of the New Aeon!

Love is the law. Love under will.

DO WHAT THOU WILT SHALL BE THE WHOLE OF THE LAW ................

 

Greetings to those who are affiliated with the Horus/Maat Lodge and to those who have never heard of it before. This pamphlet embodies the core of a magickal organization (and I use the word lightly) that evolved from It's founding In 1979 as a gestalt-in-action of the Double Current. What is this? It is the Integration of the magickal current of this Aeon of Horus as embodied In Liber AI vel L Legis and, the 'future' Aeon of Maat as embodied in Liber Pennae Pnaenumbra. Neither current of energy is by any means limited to these documents, or the HML would not have been ! These were triggers to the initial gestalt, a union formed by the Grove of the Star and the Snake and Soror Nema. Why this occured only our collective True Wills could tell you, how it occurred is documented herein. After the founding of the HMI, there was a period of expansion/integration. This was exemplified in the schema visualised/distributed to others of a teaching organization, an Order if you will, that would lead the serious magickian through the degrees or Horus and Maat into the same (!?) gestalt we shared ... yet we soon discovered that even the minimum of structure caused blockages in the free flow of what we were trying to do, that is; create the Universal Gestalt known as N'ATON. One Species Consciousness that IS the end result of projected Evolution as we perceive it. Thus, we are ALL N'ATON and we hoped the HMI. would help people reveal this to themselves. The rites were very basic and all the principle ones we evolved

are included here, it is highly recommended that the following are also examined for the Double Current energy they embody;

 

Mandragore All Issues have Double Current material

CINCINNATI JOURNAL OF CEREMONIAL MAGICK Much Maat material

Liber Al, and all works by Crowley for obvious reasons

PENNAE PRAENUMBRA via Nema In CJCM and MANDAGORE

 

And of course anything that fits into the unfolding of YOUR True Will. As of now the 'inner Council' of the HML has seen the need to eliminate all restriction, this is explained In the final HML announcement near the end of this booklet, thus we here make available to all the ‘mechanics’ of the HML, where there Is someone practicing these rites, there Is an HML. They all WORK, we tossed all that DIDN'T. That is Magick. Our unofficial motto for the HML is 'sink or swim' ... we all have a funny sense of humor, a necessity when leaping from Aeon to Aeon. The initiation in effective and anyone who feels they are channeling the Double Current has the right to use it...unto Nuit; Utilize what you will, leave what is meaningless to you. The Mandala of initiation that is the HML now swirls outward to embrace the emerging adepts that are N'ATON as Andromeda embraces the void about her. Please let us know what wonders occur amidst this Magick for you, We are all. The HML 'nexus' can be contacted via MANDRAGORE the ARCHIVES (the projected collected Gnostic Double Current library) can be contacted via CINCINNATI JOURNAL OF CEREMONIAL MAGICK, addresses are within.. So; Dance as Hadit within NU In the flight of Heru towards the flame of Meat with the ecstasy of Pan !

1. The initiate sits in the center, completely covered and blind with a veil or blanket.

 

2. The others dance around the circle deosil (clockwise invoking the 93 current, names & titles of Horus, and the paths and spheres of the dayside of the tree, & the Sun at random.

 

3. Stop for a still point of silence & balance.

 

4. Reverse and dance widdershins (counter-clockwise) for the 696 current, invoking the names & titles of Maat, the tunnels and caverns Of the nightside tree, & the Moon, at random.

 

5 At the climax whip off the veil and show the initiate their face in a mirror. All others place hands on their head and name him/her/it as

 

N'ATON.

 

6. Oracles; by random bibliomancy cut to single verses in liber AL vet Legis & liber Pennae Praenumbra, then draw one out Of the twenty-two trumps of the major arcana of tarot: record the results. closing; say,

 

"Love is the law, love under will".

 

*

The H...M...L... has no degrees. Levels, leaders or followers, anyone can initiate anyone else at any time. If you work the double current, you are already in; the ritual merely formalizes the event, feel tree to add to or modify this rite as you will. It is an awakening, and no two people wake up alike, the rite and its dance & chanting are meant to be totally spontaneous and improvised; they must come from the heart.

 

If possible a feast should follow the rite.

 

HORUS/MAAT LODGE

 

Dancing the Double Current

by Khreb ent Ptah & the GSS

 

  1. Sign of Silence
  2. Spiral dance clockwise slowly towards the centre saying IPSOS. This is done in the Sign of Silence with one complete breath. The word said once, is vibrated in your being until silence. The word IPSOS is inhaled with a deep slow dissolving breath.
  3. Stopping in the centre of the spiral as the word ceases. Say: Nu! the hiding of Hadit.
  4.  

  5. Sign of the Enterer.
  6. Spiral dance from the centre counterclockwise, returning to the circumference. Vibrate the word ABRAHADABRA in a loud strong projection of the breath while spiraling. In this motion extend, in breath, arms, & legs, as this sign dictates.
  7. Stop at the place of origin, say: Had! the manifestation of Nuit.

 

In essence the sign, the motion, and the vibration of the word, are one complete movement to be finished by the verse. The two motions united cause the Double Current. As the circle, this dance can also be used to start & finish a ritual. It is an atmosphere to create in and the leap to manifestation.

 

IPSOS FEATHER RITE

 

It takes a little temple space, you, a feather, and a candle. Have a level surface that's head-high when you're in a comfortable asana (I have a low-built altar that does it for me), upon which place the lighted candle about two feet away from you, more or less. Give enough time for the mind to mellow out with the words, concepts and memories etc. When Inner quiet obtains, hold the feather between your mouth and the candle. and repeat the word IPSOS as an audible mantram. The breath should touch the feather, but not the flame, when they're aligned. The Word, as it's repeated, All gradually fade to silence, and will continue on the Inner, again fading to levels increasingly more deep. The feather, the flame, the word and the breath are all symbol/manifestations of Maat---; at the moment of Silence within the breath and the word. Maat will touch you... the description of Her manifestation need not be spoken here.

They did the midnight adoration with all of us, ending the night.

 

HORUS/MAAT LODGE

 

The Horus/Maat Lodge was manifested on April 26, 1979 e.v. Involved in this magickal working was 'the Inner Council'; Andahadna, Priestess of Meat, who transmitted Liber Pennae Praenumbra (published in the Cincinnati Journal of Ceremonial Magick, vol 1, no. 1), and the Grove of the Star & the Snake. On this occasion, Andahadna channelled Names or Masks for the members of the Grove, functioning as the inner council; HaDeS: Loki Fenris; Aio-n: Zossian; Khreb ent Ptah; Nodens; Noctua; Selene. At this point, to clear up any confusion, we would like to note that Nodens of the Horus/Maat Lodge is not Kenneth Grant (Aossic Aiwass) of the O.T.O. who took that name (Nodens) as Head of the Nu Isis Lodge (1955-1962). The following is a brief description compiled from our diaries of this working, the Manifestation of the Horus/Maat Lodge:

 

Sunrise adoration, Liber Resh Vel Helios. Breakfast, & noon-sun adoration. Sacrament, eye in triangle. Spacemarks banishing,& Star Ruby done. Painting of Horus/Maat symbol - a red descending triangle with a black feather within. Set up altar in a tree, divination by tarot. Rained-out into Shadow-Temple. Andahadna scribed sigils for the Grove & one for herself. All consecrated symbol by element, signed & sealed it. Loki Fenris (HaDeS) channelled a tree of masks for the working. The Grove took the Horus/Maat symbol outside, while Andahadna worked her drum-magicks in the Shadow-Temple. In the blackened rain-filled field standing in the four directions, not feeling the earth, but instead at some great height amongst stars. Dance of the Double Current, & the sigil is consumed by fire at the center. Then the Manifestation of Nu, which is Had. The sky is heavy gray above, the rain is needle-fine. We return inside to the Shadow-Temple, assumed the points of chairs/thrones around the altar. Reading of the Holy Books: Liber AL vel Legis, & Liber Pennae Praenumbra. Every word is alive & a universe complete. The air is extremely clear & freezing, with an alien smell, intensely pure. At the end of the reading (and Andahadna danced Liber P.P.) we do the Ka Worship rite, & then go outside. The sky was completely & totally clear, & we were struck by the beauty of the heavens. The stars shone clear, brilliant, infinite - a vision of the Comity of the Stars. The vision lasted for a period of several minutes, and then covered itself with heavy clouds again. Inside, in the house, Andahadna's daughter had drawn a Horus/maat gynander with flame & feather in hands. She told us she 'felt compelled to draw it.'' We later found out that the day of this manifestation- rite was the new moon. HaDeS, Khreb ent Ptah, & Aio-n had all checked almanacs to make sure it was not the new moon, & were all quite sure it was no where near. The week after doing the rite we were all surprised to indeed discover that April 26th was the black of the moon , & the lodge had manifested practically on very hour !
