Utilizing Remanifest

Remanifestation acts as a necessary skill for someone pursuing the dynamic evolutionary force of Xeper in the World. To develop the skills necessary for Remanifestation, we must go beyond how we have behaved up until now. We must develop new perspectives and adopt new models of understanding ourselves, our cultures, and the natural order. We will needContinue reading “Utilizing Remanifest”

The Aeon Enhancing Magus

Suppose you are willing to take seriously my idea that the Primary Utterance of Xeper is best understood as the Utterance of the Verb-Root itself. In that case, you quickly run into a challenge. Because of its purity and infinite ways of conjugation, the Primary Utterance can be tremendously overwhelming. It stands as a unique fire withinContinue reading “The Aeon Enhancing Magus”

Ra-En-Set and the Aeon

Dr. Michael A. Aquino’s experience on the North Solstice of 1975 CE, or the Year X of the Age of Satan, as recorded in the Book of Coming Forth by Night, has dramatically clarified the doctrine of Aeons, Magi, and Words. I will not be going into a complete account of this text, what led toContinue reading “Ra-En-Set and the Aeon”

To Mega Therion and the Aeon

1909, based upon the Enochian visions described in The Vision and the Voice, Crowley would claim the Grade of Magister Templi within his A.’.A.’.

The Revelation of John stands out as perhaps the oddest document in the compilation of texts known as the Bible. If you have read that compilation, you realize how odd it is to stand out in that crowd. Of the books of the New Testament, its inclusion was the most controversial, and it was notContinue reading “Aeon and the Apocalypse”

Aeons and the Sethian Gnostics

Another group of Gnostics, the Sethians, would contribute another critical concept to the cluster of ideas around the word “Aeon.” Until fairly recently, what was known about their beliefs came from the writings of Irenaeus, a Second Century Bishop of Lugdunum in Gaul. The Sethians’ focus was mainly on the period before the Creation NarrativesContinue reading “Aeons and the Sethian Gnostics”

Aeon in Gnosticism

In the Second Century of the Common Era, the notion of “Aeon” underwent a critical transformation within the teachings of a Gnostic Christian heresy called Valentinianism. This movement originated with the Egyptian thinker Valentinus, born in 100 CE and educated in Alexandria. He was involved with the Catholic community in Rome. Though none of hisContinue reading “Aeon in Gnosticism”

The English “Aeon” derives from the Greek word αἰών (aiṓn). Aἰών is a masculine word in the third declination with a few meanings. Aἰών early on meant simply “lifetime” or “the length of life of a man.” In time it took on the meaning of “generation” or what Anthropologists would call an “Age Grade.” ThoseContinue reading “Aeon”
