Cath Thompson Ordre des livres (chronologique)

This is a definitive proving of English Qaballistic theory and practice that began with an investigation into the hierarchy of the Company of Heaven whose Names are written in Liber AL vel Legis, to discover the possibilities of constructing a system of chthonic ritual based upon the model of the Complete Tree of Life. This work led on to a set of symbolic correspondences with the 28 spheres, which in turn suggested a corroborating study of the 28 Lunar Mansions. Then came the unexpected revelation of the English Qaballistic Tarot, and with the 26 letters properly assigned upon the Tree, a corresponding solution was found to the problem of attributing the 27 Trigrams of Liber Trigrammaton sub figura XXVII. The stages of this magickal exploration are described in detail by Thompson, with a full set of interpretations for the EQ Tarot. Finding New Symbols is a first-hand account of an extraordinary occult experiment, and of the revision of the imagery of the traditional Tarot that was the result. With this, her fourth book, Thompson has extended the system of English Qaballa into the realm of divination and created a significant landmark in the reformation of modern occultism.

This book is a full introduction to the English Qaballa, the system of initiatory magickal alpha-numeric correspondences revealed in the vocabulary of Liber AL vel Legis. The methods of E.Qaballistic working, and the most significant numeric symbols, are described in detail, and the unequivocal solution to AL is clearly explained. The effects of initiation by E.Q. and the reasons behind the Ordeal X are also dealt with. This book presents a genuinely consistent and coherent view of magickal reality underpinned by the integrity of pure numbers, and shows the reader how easily it may be attained.
