The Adverse Powers at the Feet of the Cherub

These Ten Hells in Seven Places are areas of specific mind-power, where the magician may enter and command a form of order from the chaos of the subconscious, thus the universe. In this, the witch or magician should approach the Ten Hells in seven places as being a gateway to the 7 heads of the Infernal Dragon, a form of the Beast or Samael. Just as in the Yatuk Dinoih, Arezura is the opening to the mouth of Hell, the “Hell of Hells” leads one into the depths of Qlippothic and Averse Power. Once the Adept has gained an understanding of the concepts of these controlled or ensorcelled areas of Chaos and Darkness, can then the magician Will the energy within each in conjunction with Spell Workings and Meditative commands, astral travel and dream control. Here is a prime example of the Magician as being
like Set, who then masters the Serpent (Qlippoth). In mastering the Qlippoth, the Magician (a
manifestation of Set) holds then the power of the Qlippoth (the Serpent).

The Ten Hells (Horns) in Seven (Heads) Places

1 – 3. Shahul/Sheol – Triple Hell

1st – Satan and Moloch. The work of Luciferian Witchcraft presents the alternative as being the THREE being Samael-Lilith-Cain the Yatuk Dinoih correspondence being Ahriman-Az-Zohak (Azi Dahaka). This unity begets the HVHI – The Devil or Unnamable One.

2nd – Beelzebub being the Lord of Flies and Lord of Chaos. Yatuk Dinoih attribution being Druj Nasu and Savar/Saurva.

3rd – Lucifuge Rofocale - Yatuk Dinoih Attribute being Andar.

The depths of the earth, called the grave hell of Supernals, Triple Hell. This is also symbolic of Azi Dahaka or Zohak, a Son of Ahriman/Satan, who was kissed on the shoulders and two venomous black serpents emerged. See “Luciferian Witchcraft”. Here is the place of which infernal darkness is first formed into positive light by the magician and his or her Will, a step with achieving communion with the Luciferian Angel. The Opposing Shadow forms of the First Hell as equally Satan and Moloch. Here the twin serpents of Zohak may find representation on earth, as Ahriman was displaying this misunderstood level of attainment to his Son. Satan and Moloch are not the actual foundation of the “Adversary” or “Luciferian Trinity”, rather they are manifestations from and states FROM these forms. The Patron Daemon of this second hell is Beelzebub, who is commonly known as the Lord of Chaos and Lord of Flies. In the Yatuk Dinoih system, Beelzebub would be considered the same as the demon of decay and corruption, but also
spiritual initiation being Nasu, the Druj as well as Savar, considered the same as Belial the fell angel. The Third hell is presided over by Lucifuge Rofocale, who is considered by the Grimoire tradition as being the prime minister of the infernal regions. Lucifuge would be considered the same as Andar in the Yatuk Dinoih, one of the Seven Archdemons of Ahriman.

4. Abaddon – Yatuk Dinoih: Zairich

Perdition, the in-between hell of when the magician is become Daemon like and still based within the physical world, not yet in sensed communion with Samael-Lilith by moving towards the transformation.) Abaddon is ruled over by Astaroth, a Goetic Demon ruler and fallen angel. Abaddon may thus be considered a state of movement, often destruction cycling creation. Astaroth would be considered the same as the Persian Zairich, whose poisons are actually nectars of initiation.

5. Tythihoz/Titahion – Asmodeus Yatuk Dinoih: Aeshma

The Clay of Death is Asmodeus who is the mate of the Younger Lilith. Asmodeus is the Demon of the
Wounding Spear, who is by Persian reference Aeshma, a demon or dev of violence and motion. Called also Æshma, Eshm or Hesham, Asmodeus represents desire and the motion of which it may become flesh.

6. Barashechath/Barshasketh – Belphagor- Yatuk Dinoih: Naikiyas

The Pit of Destruction is ruled over by Belphagor, who is called the Demon of Opening. This dev in Persian form would be Naikiyas or Naonhaithya, a druj or daeva of self advancement and initiation.

7. Tzelmoth/Tzalemoth –Bael -Yatuk Dinoih: Paitisha/Taprev

The Shadow of Death, the Patron demon of this sphere is Bael, a Witch Father whose form is of Three Heads, a man, a cat and a toad. In the Yatuk Dinoih, Bael would be close to Taprev/Taurvi, a Demon of Herbalism and witchcraft. Alternatively Bael may be a manifestation of the dev Paitisha, who has no form (Bael is invisibility) and thus represents the spirit of Yatuk Dinoih, or witchcraft.

8. Sha’arimrath/Shaarimoth – Adramalech - Yatuk Dinoih: Akoman

The Gates of Death, being transformation. The Demon Ruler of this sphere is Adramalech, who is a King of Fire. This relates to Akoman, the Evil Mind, the spirit of self-deification and antinomian thought, an Archdemon of Ahriman who has no form. This dev is of Black Flame, or Blackened Fire, represents the gift of perception.

9 – 10. Giyehanim – Lilith and Nahema- Yatuk Dinoih: Az/Jeh


Being Hell. This Hell is presided over by Two Demon Queens or Witch Queens, Lilith and Nahema.
Nahema is considered an Angel of Prostitution like Lilith and is sometimes called the mother of Asmodeus with Samael. Nahema is sometimes called the Demoness of Impurity. In Persian sorcery Lilith and Nahema are forms of Az – Jeh, the Mother of Demons.

An alternate Tree of Death is given as the following also. This may be interesting for the practitioner to choose which model they wish to work with, as each hold a considerable amount for introspection and “Knowing Thyself”.

The circle of the Twelve

The circle of the Twelve surround the southeast – northeast – northwest – southwest angles who preside the forms of Lilith and other Averse demonic forms.

The South West Angle is described as a winged horse and winged lion drawing a chariot for the youngest Lilith, the bride of Asmodeus. She is considered a dark skinned woman from the waste up, Arabic/Middle Eastern in features, below having the parts of a beast or being composed of fire below the waste. She draws men and women into the darkness of Hell, she is the eternal Az or Jeh, the Whore initiator in her youthful aspect. She brings inspiration and lust, just as her mate Asmodeus or Aeshma, but also the capacity for war or violence, aggression and that associated with that fire of self.

Signs of the Zodiac Covering – Libra, Scorpio and Sagittarius.

The South East Angle is the Evil Adam (or is this perhaps Cain, the illuminated) who is described as being Goat-headed and skeletal in form. With him is the thousand Hydra headed serpent and the elder Lilith, the bride of Samael, whose form is every changing and mutating. This is Az – Jeh in her ancient crone aspect, but also the shape shifting menstruating initiator of the path of the witch and Luciferian.

Signs of the Zodiac Covering – Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces.

The North East Angle is Aggereth, a daughter of Machaloth, considered a demonic witch whose hair is made of serpents, who sits upon a throne within a chariot drawn by an Ass and Ox. Aggereth is the dreaming/nightmare hag whom offers copulation with the participants of the infernal Sabbat, and by joining in flesh and spirit with the Hag Witch, she gives the venom of the Sabbat, the shape shifting balm which is the imagination itself – she clearly invokes Atavisms

Signs of the Zodiac Covering – Aries, Taurus and Gemini.

The North West Angle is described as a scorpion which stands upright and composed of putrefying water, gigantic in size. With this demon comes the “unnameable” one, Abaddon, his image is black, huge and covered in whirling wheels and blades, within his hand a wheel which has a multitude of cat-like demons upon it. Behind Abaddon is Maamah or Naamah, a crouching demon like woman, who is of Az – Jeh the Mother of Harlots, she has an animal’s body and eats the earth while crawling.

Signs of the Zodiac Covering – Cancer, Leo and Virgo.


Within the center is the Adversary form of Samael – Asmodeus. The Cabalists compose Samael as being the Devil of the Tarot, and Asmodeus as a bestial man in a crouching position. The “Rosh Satanim” or “Head of Devils” whose elixir is “Sain ha-mawet”, the poison begetting life in both darkness and light. The “Angel of Death” who is Samael is indeed Ahriman or Satan, the Adversary along with his Bride, Lilith or Az. Asmodeus is a Son of Samael/Ahriman whose consort is a younger daughter of Lilith. Aeshma/Asmodeus is a powerful spirit who manifests in matter through the individual whose path is of the fallen ones.

the Qlippoth and the twelve Princes

In the Qlippoth there are twelve Princes and demonic rulers to each month of the year and astrological signs. The witch who seeks to use them within an initiatory focus may do so within the connection of the lunar month attributes (sign, moon tides, etc) with the features of the Luciferian Patron Daemon of that

In the Qlippoth there are twelve Princes and demonic rulers to each month of the year and astrological signs. The witch who seeks to use them within an initiatory focus may do so within the connection of the lunar month attributes (sign, moon tides, etc) with the features of the Luciferian Patron Daemon of that particular month. There is within the center over the Twelve Luciferian Princes four patron demons which are crowned by the Type of the Adversary – Samael – Asmodai.

When seeking to explore the patron spirits of the months, visualize a sphere with the color associated, you may create a sigil which holds attributes of the deific forms of the month. Enter slowly the sphere you visualize. In the primal darkness of Chasek the Adept by Will-Desire-Belief creates his/her own world through ensorcelling desire and by overcoming the obstacles creates the belief to manifest that desire in the material world. One should ponder on the process and connection of spirit – mind – body and the interplay of Magick and Sorcery to achieve it.

Capricorn (Dec.22 – Jan. 19) Active Earth

Dagdagiron – Manifests in the form of devouring fish, color – Red. Represents leadership, strength, ambition and materialism. Use this sphere to align thought with the attributes of Dagdagiron. Holds attributes to Belial and Savar.


“In the darkness of my mind I create all foundations of thought becoming action. I invoke the ancient spirits in the darkest waters, arising from the roaring oceans illuminated by the Black Flame can I see my potential as it was. When one becomes a
vessel for the void, then the mind made afire by the gifts of the fallen makes one the center of the Religion of Zohak. I walk unto the shore, with the lusts of this world at my command, Dagdagiron may serve my Will accordingly.”


Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb.17) Fixed Air

Behemiron – It is said the arms were derived from Behemoth, considered beasts in the form of Hippopotamus – Elephants with their skin spread flat like a cockroach. Color- black-brown.

The fallen Lucifugum angels transformed by blackened fire – formless when in motion, they reside around the practitioner of the Luciferian Rites, the Adept may devour aspects of their shadow to grow in astral or spiritual strength. The Luciferian stays grounded in the here and now, the physical plane, while balancing a spiritual focus which strengthens earthly results. Here is the Mind of Akoman awakened in the Adept – the use of reason itself.


“The fall brings an awakening. No mindless bliss, intense burning and then calm. In spirit by the dream I may go forth, drinking and devouring Anghuya, drawing it within the circle of being. The Behemiron are not bound by conventional flesh, they exist in the caverns of darkness, going forth in the night by the winds of the astral plan. Do not allow yourself to be absorbed by the impotent slaves of the all absorbing light, cast your mind away from this sickness of spirit.”

Pisces (Feb. 18 – Mar. 19) Mutable Water

Neshimiron – Hideous demon women, skeleton like, united with the bodies of serpents. Color – watery blue

Inward emotion, introspection and the understanding of emotions – exploring emotions and learning to control them. Nocturnal desires, the daughters of Lilith born in her caves in Hell, wherein she creates and consumes life. Explore your sexual desires, elements which pique your interest, seek to understand why. Use your hearing to observe the behaviors of others, learn to listen. Watch their motions, their tone of voice – how do they sound, what are they really trying to say? When evoking or entering the sphere of Neshimiron, focus on the color of the demonesses, seek the element of water which may be formed. Recall the essence of Az, flowing blood.

“Entering the caves, entering the cold, flowing water. The blue illuminated by the light of torches quickly turns black with blue illuminations underneath. No need to breathe, no need to panic. Going deeper the Neshimiron come forth – they move as if they are not in water, so natural, quick and flowing. They speak words of desire to you, yet they are demonic in form. They know your deep desires, they whisper to you. Listen well to what they tell you. Do not ignore their words, they can be a mediator for your darkest points of the mind.”

Aries (Mar. 20 – April 19) Active Fire

Bairiron – Dragon-Lion beast derived from Samael, color – black.

The Bairiron are fire demons who were given form by Samael, the Prince of the Fallen Angels. They arelike the Djinn, just as Samael is both darkness (air – dark matter) and Fire (air allows fire to be, to spread)these demons are active, violent in motion and very courageous. The Bairiron are guides of manifestation, of what you can achieve if you only try.

“In the circle of fire in the depths of a spring night evoke the Bairiron, these demons composed of fire shall further inspire what you wish to achieve. They will stir the Black Flame within, it echos to their call. The knowledge you have gained will feed these flames further. You may create what you wish in the world of flesh by action in motion. Let stasis not overcompensate for your lack of Will to achieve. Simply act with thought and expect results. In this forge of flames does Cain transform the blood of his victim into the blade of war, that he can go forth with his children and manifest the Will of Samael, his father.”

Taurus (April 20 – May 20) Fixed Earth

Adimiron – Lion-Lizards color - yellow and gray.
“Awakening in the darkness of the earth, worms around my face as I gasp for breath I can feel something within growing stronger. I seek to awaken in this flesh and claw my way to the surface. I seek to take smell the night air, to imagine the thrilland emotion of the hunt. This world can be ours, those who drink of the ecstasies of darkness.”

Gemini (May 21 – June 20) Mutable Air

Tzelladimion – Savage and triangular headed dog like beasts, color – bronze and crimson.

“The Luciferian spirit lives in all cultures, the name and face may change but our spirit remains always. Legion is only the beginning. The dark air, that born from northern winds is that element of which we ride, our steed and messenger. All curses,
blessings and devouring servitors go forth in this way. To humanity do the fallen ones ride in the form of wraiths, night hunger and the thirst for human blood and spirit. Our element may be formed according to Will. In the dream should you understand that all can be created or equally destroyed. All is subject to change, applying the foundation of the Art of Chioa, to make the
physical world you desire flesh.”

Cancer (June 21 – July 22) Active Water

Schechiriron – reptile, insect and shellfish, demon faced. Color – black.

“We transform by the deepest desires of the spirit, that which sleeping below. In continual motion do we arise, yet transform again. Our hunger is eternal, as is the fire within each. We are the serpents which arise in your flesh.”

Leo (July 23 – Aug 22) Fixed Fire

Shelhabiron – Merciless and vicious wolves and jackals, see connections with Yatuk Dinoih and such spirits of Ahriman. Color, fiery yellow.


“The spirit of the dev-wolf is but our shadow form, offered to us from Ahriman, our father and mind bringer. Within all isthe beast, to awaken it and control it is a path to self-deification. All wolves answer the call of Ahriman, to master theinstinct and focus ones desires leads to strength and the spirit eternal.”

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22) Mutable Earth


Tzephariron – partially living yet decaying corpses, undead and shades in flesh. Druj Nasu in YatukDinoih. color, earth.

“Physical death is a reality of the flesh, yet death is just one stage. Druj Nasu grows strong in the body of the living, is made a
compliment to those initiated upon the path of the Adversary, when one enters the darkened path does Druj Nasu make hertemple in the spirit and flesh. Her sadness is physical death, wherein the spirit moves beyond the veil but stronger with herblessing. Druj Nasu begets the devouring maggots through her form of the Fly. Respect the cycle of death and rebirth, for in Predatory Spiritual ecstasy in Druj Nasu found.”

Libra (Sept. 23 – October 22) Active Air

Obiriron – Gray bloated goblins, color – clouds.

“The fallen do not stay that way; they emerge and move about this very world, invisible to the unawakened eye. Be as one of the fallen, a spirit will then join in your flesh to make you stronger. Your spirit by the dream must be as a cloud, ever moving, seeking and devouring. Do not fail to experience that which may open your mind. See the direction of your design by focus and will, stray not from the path ever sought by the adverse.”


Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) Fixed Water

Necheshethiron – Devilish human headed insects, color, copper.

“Do not rest so long that you may forget your strength and determination. Rest long enough to move again upon the path of storms. In the flame of the Adversary can you become a source itself. In the depths of Leviathan’s lair can silence bring restbit, then the hunger to emerge again.”

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) Mutable Fire

Nachashiron – Dog headed serpents, colors of serpents.

“The flame of inspiration, of movement and manifestation by a voice of compelling order, is the spirit of adversarialmanifestation. Let your voice be as the serpent, guiding, intelligent and fresh air to those who are chained by stasis. Let the fire
spread to all who would fan its flames. Let the serpent slither into the souls of those who would receive it. Let your voice command the order of your desires.”

The Three Veils

0 – Tohu, formless and desolation.

Qematiel, a black headed dragon-serpent who unites under him the force of Kether of the Averse Sephiroth. Kether is the Sphere of Satan or Moloch and is thus a power source behind Metatron or the powerful angel, it is a direct ascension through descending which leads to the Gnosis of the Adversary. The Adept understands here there is nothing but the essence of the sorcerer, that all he/she needs is their own mind and body, that strength is always found within.

00 – Bohu, void and emptiness

Belial who is described by Cabalists as a black and bloated dragon-man. He “denies god” and unites the averse force of Chokmah. Belial in the physical world is a form or idea behind the Antichrist, the Lord of the Earth, while in the astral plane the second angel said to be created next to Lucifer, or Samael. In this void, the primal darkness of nothingness, the Adept becomes like Belial in that there is no God but the
self; you are alone, there is no comfort of some “God” watching over you, no mediating savior to offer your life to, just your mind and spirit. Belial survived the beginnings in darkness by understanding the inner fire of spirit, how to fan that flame and make your own self-created light.

000 - Chasek, darkness, primal void – that from which the Prince of Darkness and life emerged from. That from which Samael sought to move away from.

Gothiel is a black insect-man who is said to unite the force of the averse Binah.


Qabalism in the Luciferian Witchcraft Gnosis as a developing tradition holds some significance in the tools offered by the Qlippoth in assisting towards the Great Work, as much importance and significance is given to the darkside which allows the magician to come forth as a manifestation of Lucifer into the Light.

Path-working Exercise: Moving through the Four Seas

In a cold and barely lit chamber, sit in the position of legs folded and posture upright, close your eyes and begin a process of controlled breathing. Allow your spirit to begin moving, floating as if you have no physical body. You are shadow, a ravaging and hungering geist which moves from the flesh – you see the realm of the astral clearly, differently from the waking flesh bound state.

Enter first “The Water of Tears”, imagining your own spirit falling from the highest empyrean realms, enshrouded in flame and shadow as Lucifer fell, to the depths of darkness. Here all in your life is revealed as it really is, be it positive or negative. Allow yourself to be honest, noting your weaknesses and strengths. What you wish to improve upon.

Move now through “The Water of Creation”, here mindless and chaotic serpents move through the waters
without true form or direction, mindless. You can take and devour those shadows which you can then
emanate from your flesh as darkness, allowing a specific strength to balance out to further improve in term of character trait, desire, etc.

Move now through “The Water of the Ocean” where you come face to face with the daemonic form of
the Beast, the seven headed dragon with the 10 crowns of the Adversary. With the command of Will
summon and encircle this beast within you; make it a part of your mind, your flesh and your very spirit! “The Water of the Ocean” is where you shall make the world change according to your desire by the words you speak, actions you take and how well you can form meaningful, disciplined thoughts into manifestation of Goals and achievements. Allow your mind to think in terms of your existience from the Adversarial aspects of the Samael and Lilith, they are given form in your own being.

Move now through “The False Sea”, this is the astral or dream plane. Here you can shapeshift and take any form you feel a connection with. You may use the false sea to drink from the spirit of others, to devour and bring yourself closer to being as God itself. Use The False Sea to manifest that which you so desire.

The Qlippoth, the infernal spiritual realm has four cherubs who stand above the inverse Sephiroth, being Rahab, Samael, Machaloth and Lilith.

“But while the excess of Mercy is not an evil tendency, but rather conveys a certain idea of weakness and want of force, too great an excess of severity calls forth the executioner of judgment, the evil and oppressive force, which is symbolized by Leviathan. Wherefore it is said, "Behind the shoulders of the bride the serpent rears his head:" of the bride, but not of the mother, for she is the supernal H, and bruises his head. "But his head is broken by the waters of the great sea." The sea is Binah, the supernal H, the mother. The serpent is the centripetal force, ever seeking to penetrate into Paradise (the Sephiroth), and to tempt the supernal Eve (the bride), so that in her turn she may tempt the supernal Adam (Microprosopus).”
–Kabbalah Unveiled by S.L. Mathers

From a different perspective, Paradise can be seen as unawakened, ignorant bliss. There is no challenge, no adversarial movement against another. The supernal Eve has been awakened by Lilith and Samael to then seek to lead Adam to the path, by eating the fruit Leviathan is able to pierce into the Sephiroth to illuminate the Averse Sephiroth or Qlippoth of the Black Adepts.

Samael and Lilith are the eternal couple, their force together is what embodies the form of the Adversary and the result is the image of Baphomet, the head of wisdom or Cain in the circle of the wise. An interesting note concerning Samael is the Three Satanic Forces behind him. The Three Veils are primal descriptions of darkness and the abyss. They may be used in workings which require intense introspection concerning the nature of the Adept. If using the Tree of Da’ath or the Qlippoth as a means of selftransformation, these veils are the uppermost one ascended after transforming in Kether Inverse, thus awakening within the Luciferian Trinity or HVHI. This is a title of the Opposer/Adversary and represents understanding, wisdom and self-focused power. HVHI is the reversed name of the Hebraic/Christian God, thus the Adversary is man or woman ascended by the fall.

The Seven Earths of the Qlippoth

The Seven Earths are manifestations of the fallen angels and their astral dwellings. These are equally oflater created demons and devs. They are:

1. Aretz – Crumbling and desolate earth.
2. Adamah – Red colored mold.
3. Gia – Undulating ground.
4. Neshiah – Pasture and meadow.
5. Tziah – the desert lands.
6. Areqa – Earth.
7. Thebel or Cheled – Earth and water, mixed.

There are Four Worlds of the Tree itself, being:
1. “The Water of Tears”, representing the pain and shock of falling from the empyrean abode to the darkness or infernal regions. This is also a world of shadows forming into desire. This is when all is stripped away and illusion is no more. The initiate discovers this early on during his/her initiatory focus. This is the first stage of transformation spiritually and becoming “like Lucifer”, in the methodology of thought and action.
Atziluth Inverse – Kether, Chokmah, Binah: the 10 spheres
of HVHI, the unspoken name of Samael. Nobility of the Spirit, the Mind, Akoman. Know the hunger of becoming, of devouring. This is an alchemical process which allows the intiate to develop and manifest the Beast within while refining and strengthening consciousness and self-Divinity.

2. “The Waters of Creation”, being the inverse creation or shadow becoming away from the light. Keep in mind this is similar to the lore of Samael as the Watcher planting the seed of the forbidden tree in the darkness; The Waters of Creation beget the children of Cain.
Briah Inverse – Chesed, Geburah, Tiphereth: 10 spheres of the body of the Black Adept, the Ten are the body and spirit, mastery therein. Creation as a result of spirit, thought.


3. “The Water of the Ocean” is both angelic and demonic spirits, the water from which the dragon comes forth, the adversary or dual headed opposer, but also the union brought between the Adversary by Leviathan.
Yetzirah Inverse – Netzach, Hod, Yesod: 10 hells in 7 places.
The Daemonic Feminine, Lilith-Jeh-Az, the feminine which allows
creation to take form. The seven rays of the stooping dragon joined
with the Whore to create in flesh. The Water of the Ocean is the formless
chaos void of which Az/Lilith empower their children to name and
manifest their world around them.

4. “The False Sea” being the astral plane, this is the desecrated darkness of water which the Beast arises from, the dreaming plane. When one performs an act of witchcraft or sorcery, sending it forth in the False Sea, their Will is made flesh by their manifestation on earth as a Beast from the Sea. This is the astral plane of where one seeks the Averse Sephiroth of devourment, as a Son of Ahriman or Tiamat.
Assiah Inverse – Malkuth: matter, action, manifestation.
Possibility willed and made flesh, the material world itself.

Infernal Habitations

The Infernal Habitations are in basic definition representations of human consciousness and areas which the mind moves through during different periods of time. Essentially, the Infernal Habitations mirror the creation myth of God forming the world in six days. When chaos opened its salivating jaws, it spewed forth that which created the seven infernal habitations.

The Infernal Habitations in a dreaming sense are the unconscious areas which are the very conscious and subconscious mind; they are within the coils of the Crooked Serpent, Leviathan, the fell angelick host who became the Great Dragon and the guiding force between Samael and Lilith. Upon the path of the Witches Sabbat, the sorcerer goes forth on his or her own road away from all others, upon the very spine of the serpent overlooking the Infernal Habitations. Here the magician or witch may dive into the deep waters of self-creation to emerge and go forth on the path again. The mysteries of the Dragon are manifest in the fall. Samael descended with the Legion that went with him. His form was a Seven Headed Dragon; upon its head were Ten Horns. This is a symbol of the Ten Hells, as Hell is a word meaning “secret place”, or Helan15. If one takes the Tree of Life as a model of Heaven or towards Heaven, then the Tree of Da’ath or the Qlippoth is the model of Hell from which Samael and Lilith created. The Mouth of the Dragon joined the Crooked Serpent, Leviathan to manifest in each of the Waters. The Word of the Lie or Druj is symbolic of the serpent or dragon. The lie is the mask of the Adversary, it is ever changing, thus nothing is true and everything is permitted. This is the selfinvoked spell of self-creation and progression. The serpent or dragon (druj=worm) also is symbolic of Leviathan, the encircling daemon of endless time. By the work of Az (desire of continued existence) does
the magician begin the process of self transformation.

This model of Qlippoth was presented by S.L. MacGregor Mathers and provides a powerful initiatory tool for those daring enough to drink of the Cup of venom’s kiss, the very nectar of Iblis.
