Your result for The Golden Compass Daemon Test...

Jokester Soul

You are a confident person with a strong sense of self. You can be loud and jocular, and you don't really care who hears you. You don't spend too much time stressing about how other people see you. If they like you, well, good for them. If they don't like you, well, that's their own problem.

People need to earn your respect in order for you to really start taking them into consideration. You might bend yourself over backwards for a friend or family member, but you aren't going to give that sort of special treatment to any old Joe Blow. Your loved ones know that under that bold, brash exterior, there is a person who is loyal and even clannish at times. You will fight to defend your friends and family from any and all comers. With these special few, you drop that joking exterior and be your real self.

Your daemon's form would represent your confident ways, your joking and insensitive manner, and your secret tendency for softheartedness. He or she would probably help you criticize all the idiots whom you meet on a day to day basis, and back you up when you are on the defensive.

Suggested forms: Magpie, Raven, Kangaroo, Wild Boar, Baboon.

Descent of Arbela/Ishtar/Inanna

2009-05-31T03:50:00.003-05:00

Descent of Arbela

To the land of no return, the land of darkness,
Arbela, the daughter of Sin directed her thought,
Directed her thought, Arbela, the daughter of Sin,
To the house of shadows, the dwelling, of Irkalla,
To the house without exit for him who enters therein,
To the road, whence there is no turning,
To the house without light for him who enters therein,
The place where dust is their nourishment, clay their food.'
They have no light, in darkness they dwell.
Clothed like birds, with wings as garments,
Over door and bolt, dust has gathered.
Arbela on arriving at the gate of the land of no return,
To the gatekeeper thus addressed herself:
"Gatekeeper, ho, open thy gate!
Open thy gate that I may enter!
If thou openest not the gate to let me enter,
I will break the door, I will wrench the lock,
I will smash the door-posts, I will force the doors.
I will bring up the dead to eat the living.
And the dead will outnumber the living."
The gatekeeper opened his mouth and spoke,
Spoke to the lady Arbela:
"Desist, O lady, do not destroy it.
I will go and announce thy name to my queen Ereshkigal."
The gatekeeper entered and spoke to Ereshkigal:
"Ho! here is thy sister, Arbela ...
Hostility of the great powers ...
When Ereshkigal heard this,
As when one hews down a tamarisk she trembled,
As when one cuts a reed, she shook:
"What has moved her heart [seat of the intellect] what has stirred her liver [seat
of the emotions]?
Ho there, does this one wish to dwell with me?
To eat clay as food, to drink dust as wine?
I weep for the men who have left their wives.
I weep for the wives torn from the embrace of their husbands;
For the little ones cut off before their time.
Go, gatekeeper, open thy gate for her,
Deal with her according to the ancient decree."
The gatekeeper went and opened his gate to her:
Enter, O lady, let Ningil greet thee.
Let the palace of the land of no return rejoice at thy presence!
He bade her enter the first gate, which he opened wide, and took the large
crown off her head:
"Why, O gatekeeper, dost thou remove the large crown off my head?"
"Enter, O lady, such are the decrees of Ereshkigal."
The second gate he bade her enter, opening it wide, and removed her earrings:
"Why, O gatekeeper, dost thou remove my earrings?"
"Enter, O lady, for such are the decrees of Ereshkigal."
The third gate he bade her enter, opened it wide, and removed her necklace:
"Why, O gatekeeper, dost thou remove my necklace? "
"Enter, O lady, for such are the decrees of Ereshkigal."
The fourth gate he bade her enter, opened it wide, and removed the ornaments of
her breast:
"Why, O gatekeeper, dost thou remove the ornaments of my breast? "
"Enter, O lady, for such are the decrees of Ereshkigal."
The fifth gate he bade her enter, opened it wide, and removed the girdle of her
body studded with birthstones.
"Why, O gatekeeper, dost thou remove the girdle of my body, studded with birthstones?"
"Enter, O lady, for such are the decrees of Ereshkigal."
The sixth gate, he bade her enter, opened it wide, and removed the spangles off
her hands and feet.
"Why, O gatekeeper, dost thou remove the spangles off my hands and feet?"
"Enter, O lady, for thus are the decrees of Ereiihkigal."
The seventh gate he bade her enter, opened it wide, and removed her loin-cloth.
"Why, O gatekeeper, dost thou remove my loin-cloth?"
"Enter, O lady, for such are the decrees of Ereshkigal."
Now when Arbela had gone down into the land of no return,
Ereshkigal saw her and was angered at her presence.
Arbela, without reflection, threw herself at her [in a rage].
Ereshkigal opened her mouth and spoke,
To Namtar, her messenger, she addressed herself:
"Go Namtar, imprison her in my palace.
Send against her sixty disease, to punish Arbela.
Eye-disease against her eyes,
Disease of the side against her side,
Foot-disease against her foot,
Heart-disease against her heart,
Head-disease against her head,
Against her whole being, against her entire body."
After the lady Arbela had gone down into the land of no return,
The bull did not mount the cow, the ass approached not the she-ass,
To the maid in the street, no man drew near
The man slept in his apartment,
The maid slept by herself.
[The second half of the poem, the reverse of the tablet, continues is follows:]
The countenance of Papsukal, the messenger of the great gods, fell, his face was
troubled.
In mourning garb he was clothed, in soiled garments clad.
Shamash [the sun-god] went to Sin [the moon-god], his father, weeping,
In the presence of Ea, the King, he went with flowing tears.
"Arbela has descended into the earth and has not come up. The bull does not
mount the cow, the ass does not approach the she-ass.
The man does not approach the maid in the street,
The man sleeps in his apartment,
The maid sleeps by herself."
Ea, in the wisdom of his heart, formed a being,
He formed Asu-shu-namir the eunuch.
Go, Asu-shu-namir, to the land of no return direct thy face!
The seven gates of the land without return be opened before thee,
May Ereshkigal at sight of thee rejoice!
After her heart has been assuaged, her liver quieted,
Invoke against her the name of the great gods,
Raise thy head direct thy attention to the khalziku skin.
"Come, lady, let them give me the khalziku skin, that I may drink water out of it."
When Ereshkigal heard this, she struck her side, bit her finger,
Thou hast expressed a wish that can not be granted.
Go, Asu-sbu-iaamir, I curse thee with a great curse,
The sweepings of the gutters of the city be thy food,
The drains of the city be thy drink,
The shadow of the wall be thy abode,
The thresholds be thy dwelling-place;
Drunkard and sot strike thy cheek!"
Ereshkigal opened her mouth and spoke,
To Namtar, her messenger, she addressed herself.
"Go, Namtar, knock at the strong palace,
Strike the threshold of precious stones,
Bring out the Anunnaki, seat them on golden thrones.
Sprinkle Arbela with the waters of life and take her out of my presence.
Namtar went, knocked at the strong palace,
Tapped on the threshold of precious stones.
He brought out the Anunnaki and placed them on golden thrones,
He sprinkled Arbela with the waters of life and took hold of her.
Through the first gate he led her out and returned to her her loin-cloth.
Through the second gate he led her out and returned to her the spangles of her
hands and feet
Through the third gate he led her out and returned to her the girdle of her body,
studded with birth-stones.
Through the fourth gate he led her out and returned to her the ornaments of her
breast.
Through the fifth gate he led her out and returned to her her necklace.
Through the sixth gate he led her out and returned her earrings.
Through the seventh gate he led her out and returned to her the large crown for
her head.
[The following lines are in the form of an address -apparently to some one who
has sought release for a dear one from the portals of the lower world.]
"If she (Arbela) will not grant thee her release,
To Tammuz, the lover of her youth,
Pour out pure waters, pour out fine oil;
With a festival garment deck him that he may play on the flute of lapis lazuli,
That the votaries may cheer his liver. [his spirit]
Belili [sister of Tammuz] had gathered the treasure,
With precious stones filled her bosom.
When Belili heard the lament of her brother, she dropped her treasure,
She scattered the precious stones before her,
"Oh, my only brother, do not let me perish!
On the day when Tammuz plays for me on the flute of lapis lazuli, playing it for
me with the porphyry ring.
Together with him, play ye for me, ye weepers and lamenting women!
That the dead may rise up and inhale the incense."

Planetary Magick: Jupiter and Expansion

2009-05-09T15:49:00.003-05:00

Planetary Magick: Jupiter and Expansion

In the dark ages, when astrologers saw the planets in much stricter terms of black and white, Jupiter was called the Greater Benefic, meaning that it grants greater blessings. Modern magickians and witches have drawn from this concept. Ritual magick describes Jupiter spells as bringing boundless good luck and prosperity. It expands all resources and blessings, the power of Jupiter is far greater than mere good luck. In the Eastern traditions of astrology, Jupiter is associated with the guru. In the west, we have a hard time with the word guru because it has been used by many charlatans to build grand cults of personality. In the true sense of the word, guru means teacher, and most notably spiritual teacher. When channeled properly, the energy of Jupiter is the energy of spiritual learning. Jupiter is the inner teacher. In these eastern traditions, Jupiter is called the light of a thouseand suns. It radiates not physical light but the spiritual light of illumination. Jupiter rules the sign Sagittarius, the explorer. Many relate the power of Jupiter to the power of spiritual sight ans spiritual light. The brow chakra, or Anja, is the energetic center of the body, usually protrayed as indigo or purple.

Brihaspati Pooja/Guru Pooja
Performed to appease planet Jupiter. According to Hindu Shastra "Brahaspati" is known as "Guru" or teacher of all "Devtas". Pooja in honor of Jupiter enhances wisdom, knowledge, religion, fortune, happiness, welfare, joy, devotion, spirituallity, generosity, charity, gentelness, statesmanship, fame, wealth, respect, reputation, honor, dignity and social status.

Planetary Magick: Mars and Victory

Mars is one of the most misunderstood planets, astrologically and magickally. Many cite it as the planet of anger, frustration, war and destruction and it can be. If you focus solely on those descriptions, you miss the true thread of what Mars is. Mars' energy is the power of personal will, it is the energy that encourages you to do. What you do with the energy is entirely up to you. Mars begins, initiates, when you ally your will to make something happen, you are using the energy of Mars. When used consciously, mars is the power of victory. Mars is all about putting your will into action to create change. Mars is linked to the element of fire, fire is the element of our energy, as expressed as passion, intensity, career, sexuality, and even spirituality. Mars energy is aggressive but does not have to be violent. Mars' energy can be found in the root chakra, for physical survival, sexual pleasure and intense energy. Astrologically assoicated with Aries.

Mangal Pooja - is preformed to appease the planet mars.
Mars is the "Prince" among all the planets. Performing Mangal Pooja can reduce the troubles and hurdles caused due to the malefic position of mars in the hooroscope.

OM Kran Kreen Kron Saha Bhomaye Namah

May prosperity be glorified - may administrators rule the world with law and justice.
May all things that are sacred be protected.
May people of the world be happy and prosperous.
Om

I bow down to mars, who was born from the womb of the earth and supports all creations and love. He appears as a young who wields the power in his hands.

King of Earth

2009-05-07T12:36:00.001-05:00

King of Earth

If you stand at the edge of a silent glade on a winter's night, and look deep into the woodland beyond, you may catch a glimpse of a squat, goblin-like figure peering back at you in the glow of moonlight amongst the bracken.

This is Ghobe, and his kingdom lies in the forests and pastures of the land, he is Lord of the Element Earth. He directs and controls the land mass, plants, and stability of this world on which we all live.

It is said, by those with experience, that Ghobe is a solemn, shadowy being, with wary eyes of sharpened crystal, and delicate clothes of platted fern, sewn with glistening dewdrop webs by busy elfin hands. His saddened pointed features show the deepening scars of the rigors of life, born from uninvited interlopers; the jungle of hostile human neighbors who share his Earthly Kingdom.

This Elemental King is much more shy and less forthcoming than the others. His power is indomitable, and his strength without comparison, but he will normally remain hidden in the secret meadows and groves where humans do not go. However, if we look very carefully, and if we earn his trust, we may find that he will show himself, sometimes peering from the undergrowth, or maybe standing almost immobile with his back to a tree trunk on the edge of a woodland stream. There are many elemental faces and shapes that can be seen amongst nature's greenery in the picture on this page, if we just take a moment to sit and stare.

We are told that if we do ever manage to catch Ghobe's glance we will, for one poignant moment, be irresistibly held by the haunted bewilderment in his almond eyes. And somehow we will taste the bitter fruit of personal responsibility for the ignorance of others of our kin, who are so willing to uproot and desecrate the hidden treasures of his land. This silent, somber being can be as gentle and protective as a shady tree, or as brooding and heavy as a forest at night.When he does choose to speak, his voice is as brittle as the snap of a twig, and it is through these abrupt commands that he signals the Gnomes - the miniature elemental beings of his Kingdom - to gather at his side.These shy tiny creatures most often appear to us resembling human form - sometimes slim as an elf, or dainty as a fairy, and sometimes squat and heavy. They creep from out the timeless shapes of oak and ash, fern and shrub, sliding down flower petals, pattering beneath the bracken, peering from within the hedgerows, skipping and scampering, trudging and scattering around their King as they gather confidence and exuberance.

We are told that, if we stand in the countryside at the midnight hour, and listen carefully, we might be able to hear the talking and laughter of their shrill weensy voices as they clamber through the night, their tiny lanterns swinging before them, and the buzz of their chatter ringing through the air like a colony of bees, trapped in a honeycomb, far away in the woodlands beyond.

Nixsa King of Water

2009-05-06T07:54:00.001-05:00

King of Water

If you stand by the sea on a breezy autumn day, and look out across the waves as they crash upon the shore, it is just possible that in the far distance you will see a vast, translucent, bending shape appear, curving up from the depths of the sea beds beneath

This is Nixsa, and his kingdom lies in the depths of the oceans, and the rivers of the earth. He directs and contros the movement of rain, the ebb and flow of the tides, and the instinctive responses upon the earth.

Those who see Nixsa, say he is a swirling, majestic figure of brooding intensity.His hair is long and flowing, touched with the shine of dampened seaweed, and splashed with tentacles of silver and grey.His eyes are luminous droplets, quivering in movement, reflecting the echo of a century of tears, and he spreads around him a cloak, the colour of kelp, edged with white foam from the breakers of the sea.

Nixsa can be as gentle and malleable as a limpid pool, or dancing and light as a cascading river, but he too can raise the breakers of the oceans high up to the heavens, as wild and untamed as an unrelenting storm.

If we catch his glance, we are told his shimmering eyes will return our gaze in shrouded mystery, entrancing and hypnotic, as slowly he draws from deep within us an unknown latent tenderness that sleeps imprinted upon our dreams, and as he speaks we hear the murmur of distant rushing rivers, flowing in his voice. With a haunting echo in his command, Nixsa calls up from the oceans the tiny elemental beings, known as the Undines of his kingdom.They shower in droplets around him; minute, silvery slivers of water; dainty, joyous creatures that dance with the dolphin, and swirl with the mermaids and fish of the sea.

We are told that if we look carefully, we might just see them cascading in streams as they ripple from the hillsides, sleeping in shells amongst the rock pools of the shore, or riding in gayety on the backs of the foaming waves of the tides.

Planetary Magick, The Sun

The Sun, sucess and health
The Sun is considered the first "planet," though it is technically a star. In astrology, the Sun, along with the moon, is called luminary, meaning light. As the center, it represents our personal center, or core, in this lifetime. The Sun represents our primal fire, and who we are relearning to be. It also denotes physical health and aspects of the personality. The Sun corresponds to the solar plexus, our place of personal power, self image and ego.

Magickally, the metal associated with the Sun is gold, as are the colors gold, yellow and orange.

Surya Pooja is to appease the planetary power of the Sun

The Sun is the supreme power of the solar system, the lord of the Sun-sign Leo and the direction East. In astrology the Sun is known as the soul of "Kaal pursha". Surya pooja is indicated when the sun is powerless or depleted in the horoscope.

Surya Mantra
Throughout the dusk firmament advancing, laying rest to the immortal and mortal, borne in his golden chariot he cometh, Savitar, God who looks on every creature.
1. Aum Mitaya Namah
2. Aum Ravayre Namah
3. Aum Suryaya Namah
4. Aum Bhanave Namah

Paralda King of Air

2009-05-05T06:46:00.001-05:00

King of Air

If you stand in the morning mists and look up at the sky, just as the sun is rising, you may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of a misty shadowy shape of hazy blue darting through the clouds on the edge of the wind.
This is Paralda, and his Kingdom is all around us, for he is Lord of the Element Air. He directs and controls the movement of Air and the thought patterns around the earth.

Those who see this Mighty King, say he swoops through the skies on gossamer wings, his billowing hair streaked with sunlight, and shaded with the grey whiteness of the clouds that surround him.

His eyes are silver, slanted moonbeams, darting and alert, and the tenuous shape of his body belies his strength for, although he can seem as gentle as the touch of spring upon your cheek, his power is as wild and unpredictable as a howling east wind.

We are told that, with just one glance, he can capture the secrets of our innermost thoughts in the fleeting moment of his penetrating stare, and as he speaks he carries in his voice the rushing sound of brief summer gales, and light autumn breezes.

It is by the breath of Paralda's commands that he brings the tiny elemental beings, known as the Sylphs of his kingdom, under his control.

Swift and graceful, they flock to surround him, their silvery elf-like form ethereal and indefinite.
It is said that they can often be heard whispering in the tree tops, as they encircle the skies with the birds of the air.

But we have to be quick to catch sight of them, for they are always moving, ever changing shape, ducking and gliding, swooping and diving, wafer-thin effortless dancers, fluttering on the breath of the wind.

May 1st Lord Bel's Day

2009-05-04T06:42:00.001-05:00

Friday was the day to celebrate and honor the Babylonian deity Bel or Ba'al. A version of the Sumerian deity An perhaps later known as Anu. Some researchers have said Bel might have a version on Enlil or Enki.
This day was celebrated by giving offering to Lord Bel and by passing through the bon fires from youngest to oldest for health, longevity and prosperity.

We celebrated this day on Saturday the 2nd by offering up flowers and other things into a bon fire and by walking through a set of torches from youngest to oldest.

It was a small ritual but it was nicely done and the majority of us walked away with peace.

Thank you everyone who participated, and a big thank you to Phoenix & Shamosh for writing the ritual.

Dijinn King of Fire

2009-05-04T06:36:00.001-05:00

King Of Fire

Djinn's Kingdom lies in the heart of the sun and all the fires of the earth, for he is Lord of the Element fire.

Those who see this Almighty King say he appears to them like an explosion of energy bursting into light, the pointed tactile shape, impinged with tendrils of ice white heat and sparks of fire, a twisting vibrating mass of living flame.

His diamond eyes glow with the darkness of embers of coal, and his cloak encompasses the vibrant yellow and red of molten larva, as it erupts from deep within the raging volcanoes of the earth.

This King is awesome in magnitude, and as uncontained and terrifying as an electrical storm but, fierce as he is, he too can be as gentle and comforting as the shimmer of a candle in a darkened room, or the warmth of firelight on a winters' night.

It is said that if we dare to catch his glance, Djinn will hold us immobile and captive, suspended in his stare, as he burns into the very desires of our hearts - desires that shudder at the core of our being - and as he speaks the crackle of bonfires resounds from his voice.

It is by the force of Djinn's power that he draws the tiny blisters of light - the Salamanders of his Kingdom - under his command.

Bright and demanding, they carry their lanterns within them, blazing and sparking, flickering and cascading as they surround him, bursting with energy in their urgency for action.

We are told that, if we close our eyes and concentrate on our inner vision, we may be lucky enough to see these sparkling elemental beings, flickering and cascading like a scattering of bright pointed stars, as they join together in moving formation, dancing the dance of life in the fires of our heart.
