Lessons on the "Points-Chauds-: Le Temple-Des-Houdeaux
Esoteric voudoo is the science of the orientation of the temple of consciousness, which you must create with your will, mind, and imagination. Esoteric voudoo therefore will be the method which teaches you how to organize your magickal inner experience, using the most suitable symbols — which are the symbols having the most power. The symbols used must be evocative of power, they must serve to call it forth from other regions, other parts of the universe, other universes and dimensions. It is not enough to say that the symbol is the sign which suggests something mystical. The symbol must be a machine or engine for the generation of magickal power in its own way, not in any way which depends upon the mere mind of the practitioner.
Voudoo must be a science of success which works for every mind and not because of the mental attitude, for voudoo is the science which handles powers as they are in themselves, not because of what we think. So voudoo is not psychological, it is metaphysical and physical — the symbols it uses are physical powers in being.
The orientation of consciousness is possible because of the ways in which voudoo power gives direction to the rnind. Voudoo power tells the mind what to do and how to do it. 1 have said that the orientation of consciousness is achieved by means of powerful symbols which are magickal engines. This means that these symbols are the ways through which the inner contacts of voudoo, or the spirits or Loa, operate through the veil which separates the inner from the outer. The symbols become instruments of perception or research whereby the spirits look into our world and cause certain things which they desire to happen. So as they look into our world they send into our world their power to do what we want them to do. Sometimes, we see, they say among themselves that we want them to act behind the veil, on the other side of the wall of consciousness. That means that we do not make any use of symbols, but rather make contact entirely withour mind. This is esoteric prayer and it is common to all types of spiritual activity. However, in voudoo we use symbols which corne alive in the operations of esoteric voudoo. So that the justification for the use of esoteric voudoo is to be found in the use of these engines of rnagick or sacred and cosmic symbols, which produce a more precise effect than the actions of the mind in the midst of esoteric prayer, which is often too Yague. Iri fact, one would have to be out of the physical body actually to be effective in esoteric prayer, but in the body it is a "hit-or-miss" type of activity, because few if any have such precise minds. That is why we use symbolic engines. This is the real justification of voudoo.
In voudoo there are many sects. The name lor the sectaries of La Couleuvre Noire at Rouge is "Les Houdeaux"," or the operative magicians, i.e., those who do practical work. There are other sectaries in LCN, of course, such as "Les Ophites," but the beginning of the work is to be found in Les Houdeaux. A sectarian or sectary of voudoo is a member of a special line of spirits, or spiritual ancestry. The spiritual ancestry of Les Houdeaux is to be found in the children of the "Black Goddess of Space," Binah, the emanation of Mother/Father Space/Time, called "Saturn" by the classicists, and "Guedhe- Nibbho" by the priests of Voudoo science. The consort of the Black Goddess of Space is Death, the God of All Transformations, known as Mystere Royale (Desak'karum), who shines his supreme eye through Saturn when in the sign of Scorpio, "whose throne is in the east." The children of the Black Goddess of Space and Mystere Royale are "Les Houdeaux." We may be said to be one with Les Houdeaux or to be them when we act within the temple of esoteric voudoo, in which these lessons form the pathway of initiation.
With Les Houdeaux the most important matter is the orientation of the temple of the inner power, or the arrangement of the symbolic engines in space-consciousness. Now, it is very important to understand that we are the serviateurs of Les Houdeaux and must make the design of the temple, which is the cosmic map of magick, ideally suitable for their work. Otherwise we cannot unite our magickal energies with them and say that we too are among Les Houdeaux. Thus, the most basic point in this science of esoteric work is the knowing of the points chaud or the engines of occult energy which are diffused through the spheres of magickal consciousness. First of all there are four levels to the temple, or we will say four different ways of working the temple in different and higher worlds and regions of real power. These four regions are: 1) Les Houdeaux, or where we are now. 2) Les Linglessoux, or the realm of the shrouds of the dead. 3) Les Cadavres Piquantes or Cadavres Piquants, which is the world of embalmed corpses. 4) Les Faiseurs-des-Zombi, or the mages who bring the dead back to physical activity. These are four magickal regions or zones, and each of our lessons in this first series will treat of these zones of powers as collections of many hot-points, whereby the magician can develop and express himself fully as a child of the Black Goddess of Space and Death, Her Spouse.
Now to establish the orientation of the temple, which is really the way in which the symbols of this esoteric voudoo will work as magickal engines it is necessary to indicate that in each of the zones there are eight magickal directions or pathways of power for the growth of more and more hot- points. These directions are north, west, south, east, north-east, north west, south-west, and south-east. Each of these doors of consciousness has its own meaning and vibration, its own spirit or Loa and its own life, its own intimates and its own initiations, and its own projections into other dimensions and pathways through space-consciousness and time-will. For example, there is a particular point of contact named after the Loas of the Guedhe family, which are the spider-Loa: Famille Zariguin, such as Maitre Baron Zariguin, his consort Mystere Araignee, and their son Ti-Zaraguin and their daughter Mystere Toile-d'Araignee. In their construction of consciousness they occupy the east, west, south, and north of the temple. To find a spider's web in the north side of one's home is a good sign indeed. However, if we use these Loas in our temple des Houdeaux, wo will not want to use them as the dominant powers of the temple, but only as complements to the four major powers of Les Houdeaux. Thus, while some Loa may appear to be very much the same being, esoteric voudoo permits the magician to make many distinctions whereby it is possible to develop the magickal personality of these Loa and thus climb up or reach up to their own magickal vibration. You may find the spirits of esoteric voudoo have very, very different personalities once you come upon them in the setting up of your temple for the real level of research. Before, you thought they were fundamentally the same types of real energies, but now you can see how different they are, indeed you now can see that they are entirely different types of families of spirits and magickal Loa.
Now, getting down to the business of setting up consciousness, you will assign to the east the powerful Mystere Royal, father of all of the Mysteres-royaux, or gods of death, also known in the western tradition as the angels of death, and called by the esoteric theurgists of India "Naradana." To the west, the place of the Lunar influence, you will assign the Black Goddess of Space, i.e., Mahakali. To the north, you will assign all of the spirits who belong to the family of Les Houdeaux, or the spirits of Hoodoo sciences, who live in the northern area of the universe. To the south, we will assign a very special deity, known as the spirit who greets those who come to serve the dead, "Thousand-Little-Footsteps," or "Ti-Pied-Mille-Fois." This spirit is the were- insect Jjoa-Mystere, a transvection of Limbi and kliphotic king of the larvae of the dead. By using him in the south, we have established a magickal link with the were-insect deities, who will occupy the NE, NW, SE, and SW points;
these are Mystere Toile-d'Araignee (NE), known as the spider goddess of Capricorn because of her placement, Mystere Araignee (NW) the mother spider of Scorpio, also known ay La Maman Regne, Ti-Zariguin (SW), both the inventor-Loa of Aquarius and the brother and son of the previous mys teres. This Loa is responsible for all of the magickal inventions of the new sciences of esoteric engineering, dream-control, and on tic sphere mediumship. Lastly, there is the Father.....Loa Baron Zariguin, for all the
Ouedhe-Loa are "Norman Barons," as the hierarchy of the Loa comes from French thinking. Baron is assigned to the North-East, and to the sign of Leo, because he is the most deadly aspect of The Grand Lion. You now will have before you a complete temple of magickal potencies for inducting the pure forces to be fed into your will and imagination. As you place yourself in the midst of this rnaridala, you will truthfully see the lines of power crossing in the eight different directions, the four main points and the points- between-the-points. This is the beginning of your magickal and voudoo machine for travel in time and space, for wherever you wish to go in your occult self-hood the powers now coming into your voudoo spaceship will take you there. You will ask one of the spirits to be your guide, assign them special projects, like travel to the past (N and NE), past/present (W and SW), present/future (S and SW), and future (E and SE).
Therefore, you will be able to move with the direction of a particular spirit to another region ol time. The other spirits will act as controol, either moving you back, as when for example NE will move N back, as NE is more ancient, or when N will move NW before or back or when NW will move or control the before-time sequence of W, and this is done by means of the magickal powers of the spiders and death-Loa. Or when you desire to go forward in time you iwll summon the power, via the symbolic machines of those ahead. Thus, SE will move anyone ahead except a time-traveler in the E position. W will act as a brake for the speed of SW, but will speed up NW. As you move more and more towards the east and south, you speed up, as you move more and more towards the west and north, you will slow down in going forward and will go back in time. Thus, even SE can make E move a little back in time. Using this exciting method of time travel is the basic voudoo science for coming and going through different dimensions and spaces, for each time will have a different dimensional objectivity. How does the voudooist stay with the past and present and future of the planet earth arid not go off into another world or universe — in case you know only one language of everyday communications?
That is very simply based on what you do with the western powers. To remain on earth, but to explore the past of the earth, use W mainly and exercise great control wif.ii the Scorpio controls of NW. To stay on earth, but t.o explore the future moderately and safely, simply use W modified by SW, and carefully add or control the feeding of input from S. On the other hand, to find out the present for another universe, :;imply move sharply to summon the powers of E, SE, NE, or N, and then carefully bring it down to the present by using S, SW, W or NW modifications. The experience f.ime-and-universes traveler is able thusly to go anywhere, by making use of this rather simple system,, because he would know from experience how to adjust the inflow of energies which are the fuels for his projections. These fuels for projections are very simply the kalas and shaktis, theojas and sexual radioactivities which power all our machines. The ojas (theojas or god-energies) and sexual radio activities are especially sought after by vampiristic deities, also,and for this reason the magician must look carefully into the nature of the magickal images used to power the symbols with their own magickal force-fields. By using less-than-horrific spirit-Loas, the magician runs the risk of attracting very negative vampies who need the ojas of the mandala instruments to sustain themselves. These vampires must be carefully distinguished from the positive vampires of time and space-consciousness travel who assist the magician to move into other regions and who, manifested as were-spiders and xombi-Loa, both guard the temple of sciences as well as provide certain esoteric energies, which while matching other energies in the magician, also produce the Cartesian vortices through the voltigeurs of esoteric physicans make contact with the points of other worlds. Thus, we can see the need to know the nature of energies used behind the symbolics of voudoo mechanics.
Once you have set up your temple space, you begin to realize that it is the field very simply constructed of magickal powers. Each symbolic point, and the symbols are your own always, serves as a door which admits by means of an astral tuyau or conduit the special forces represented by the placement of the symbols and your intention in what you wish these placements to be. Immediately the forces begin to come in from the other side of the veil of manifestation. You will make contact with them by means of will, mind, and imagination, so that as the forces come into the mandalum a perfect eight armed spider system is formed. This is the rnosL ideal machine for all time and space-consciousness travel and really all of the other systems seem to be built out of this system. You now become a truly magickal spider, a were-spider, who will appear to sit in the midst of your web, when viewed by both Golden Dawn and Tantric clairvoyance. This is the way that you appear on the astral plane or plane of the universe, arid making contact with that astral place or situs, you are now ready to go where you want to control your departure. In this sense, this lesson is the most complete exposition ol time and space-consciousness, because it is the first of this new series in esoteric voudoo sciences, and yet you have to learn all of these relatively advanced techniques, because you will not be spending much time on earth in the next lessons — only in earthly graveyards, I might add. So now you are a spider-magian, spider-sorceror, or spider-magician. You may be any of these as they are entirely suitable. You have woven your web by meeting with your own magickal force at each of the eight sources of cosmic energy. Thus, cosmic-energy is met by god-energy.
You are now able to tune the instrument and see what images are fed to you as you turn on one control with your mind after another. You might want to use a rrtagick mirror or a control through a shew -stone or some other method. But at first i suggest that you use the mind, the will, and the imagination entirely, in order t.o build up your controls. Later we will explore the methods for making the magick mirror. You can test the in- flow ol images fiorn the cosmic shakti, because in the occult fluid are the potencies from which rise the images of other worlds and systems of time. You can see that there is a cycle to this occult motion, for like the cycle of the moon it is based upon the ebb and flow of a very special sexual energy, the energy behind time-travel. You have set yourself to testing the controls for this movement into another realm of being. By moving one way or another you can achieve the fullness of another world, another time, or our own earth, as in the 18th century. It has become easy to build up the cosmic world of magickal mind by this simple science. You have before you a complete system of magickal explorations. If you are willing to do so you may stop here and remain here in this sphere, entirely and permanently rather than trying to move into another lesson in magick. But others will want to go on to another sphere of exploration.
J want to close this lesson with a diagram which will explain the time zones arid other regions of space-consciousness as they are manifested in our being.
East. - pure future, other universes beyond the Sun.
North - East - - the ultimate doorway beyond Pluto, beyond Kether, the past of other universes, the region of absolute history, where the past is now and only the past is.
North -- which is the pure past, the absolute realm of history, the present of of other universes beyond Pluto, other doors beyond our past meaasurements.
North-West — the past of the earth. Also the past of other worlds, also the future of realms contacted via the pure past, other universes beyond Pluto
West -- the present that is just passed and becoming past. This is the world of the now on earth, the here and now
South West - - the future of the earth as the present moves more and more away from us '['he present of other worlds can be reached here, sometimes.
South - the future which has just left the present, the world of the earth's own future.
South East •• future with some tendency towards the earth, some reference to universes near our solar system.
Back to the East pure future, other universes beyond the Sun. You will understand that your own magickal mandalurn insl.rumenl.urn is simply this map and when you do, all universes then are open to you.
La Couleuvre Noire: Les Linglesoux
The technical name in "language Creole," i.e., in the vocabulary of esoteric voudoo, les Linglesoux, refers to the priests of the astral shrouds. This name, which is derived from "lingam" and "le soi," refers to the aspect of the Cultus Ghuedhe, which consists in the stellar-phallic identity of the astral priests of macabrey. The focus of this aspect of the cultus must be found in the identity of the dead as the sources of a very specific eroticisme magique. Under these circumstances, the cultus must provide for the frequent occurrences of astral necrophilia, usually on the part of the Ghuedhe type spirits who attack any and all persons desirable to them. Esoteric voudoo has restricted this type of magick, or experience of possession to nocturnal erotic encounters with the spirits of the dead, who in their desire for concrete materialization actually possess the male organ of the sleeping human. For this reason, the presence of the erection of that organ during sleep is known as an indicator of the visitation of these spirits.
Because of folklore and folkloric encrustations of the esoteric voudoo tradition, the spirits of the Linglesoux family become identified with "mauvais air" and other types of vampiric entities. But we must distinguish between these experiences and the more European succubae or succubates, as the entity experienced by the magician is "pas b'swa linges" mais "lingam le soi," hence an entity which seeks to replenish its own magickal identity by means of taking occult forces from the magician. This cultus in general, which means the seeking actively after this experience, is not found among any of the occult voudois or Houdoux pretres, but is confined to the most extreme sect aspect of the cult-Ghuedhe, which is associated with night-time magicks and magickal experiences which draw night-time powers into the magician. For this reason the act of communication with the spirits of this type is viewed as horrible in itself and its descriptions unspeakable, by occult voudooists.
However, because of its extreme character, this magick, which is identified with the sign of Scorpion (in the Zodiac) is viewed as a source of very great power. As a consequence, those born under this sign are sought out by the pretres-bokors of this system as ideally suitable mediums, for mediumite and erotique-magique are viewed as identical realities in this context. Hence the production of the phenonmena of mediumite is viewed as having been generated by specific conditions in the erotic encounter with "les spirites," i.e., the members of the cultus, who accept a magickal view of the philosophy of spiritism. There are taught magickal exercises for the building up of this nocturnality, which barters sexual energy for occult and psychic powers. The candidate, in order to become a Linglesou must open his being to possession by these very dominant spirits, inasmuch as he must become such an object of their desire that they will grant occult powers to him in exchange for his vitality and manhood. In the esoteric interpretation, these spirits readily become an extension of the candidate's own identity, and thus rapidly by means of congress with them, especially by the devotional act of total surrender to these types of spirits, he becomes also Lingam le soi.
The exercises taught along these lines are variations of the VIIIo, O.T.O. called the "mystery of solitude," whereby the magnetism of the candidate becomes more and more attractive to the spirits. But in actual fact, the magick consists of the performance of the despicable aspects of the XIo, O.T.O., now rejected by the English branch of that order, but practiced by the conscience-less fringe rites and orders which dwell in the infinitudes of larval cesspools, and whose practice of these rites while shunned by all other magickal schools and societies, groups, rites, and orders, is for these extremists, "les linglesoux," the very basis of their power and contact relationship with the inner planes. Thus, that which is rejected by 99S of the entire sexo-magickal continuum, and which is taught by certain extreme Boullanists in France (les Buollanistes des-fetes) is the practical norm with les linglesoux.
What can we say are the benefits of this method which will make certain magicians break the sexo-magickal tabooux of countless orders, which will cause the magician to abandon the law of yoni for nocturnal obsession of the most yile kliphotic contacts'? Those who possess the technical knowledge admit that psychic ability is increased so that all of the forms of low mediumship and crude psychic powers are made perfect, while the higher psychic powers are fully manifested. But does this occult exchange provide sufficient compensation for the man who must sacrifice himself to nocturnal appetities of a most perverse type? The occult student must be aware of what exists in the continuum of darkest magick, he must know why certain magickal substances are preferred by the more subtle spirits than the crudity of a mere human sacrifice. Thus, the magician must determine his orientation in this matter and surrencer himself to these nightly obsessions as they come down upon him. For as they manifest themselves in the most intense erotorality, as they come down upon his body the awaiting sacrifice and take him, so by draining out the vitality of the unconscious and subconscious id and libido, they fill up the area where they have taken the power with pure elemental power of the most intense psychicality. By identification of this power with the element of water, with the western place in the temple, we encounter the onrush of extremely psychic forces, and the onrush pours into the soul of the magician as he becomes more and more linglesou, as he identifies himself more and more with prior pre-paryal layers of being, with pure primordiality of energies and powers, which are the basis of the whole famille Ghuedhe, the domain of complete lust — the lust for lust itself transformed into magickal power and psychic capacities.
In order to possess the reality of this power, you must take it into yourself as the spirits are taking your powers from you. This power from them, once received, then becomes the basis for all magickal operations derived from this most esoteric view of the VIIIo type magick. When power is then needed, all one has to do is to bring to focus these wraithlike clouds of astral libido, which are now one's own and which are wrapped around oneself with the firmness and fury of the most pre-orgasmic lust. The magician under the circumstances will then be able to master the secrets as they are poured into him by means of subtle lines or connectives, which being wraith-like themselves, are the astral lines of ejaculation created in the elheric void by the action of these larval spirits seeking more and more food from mankind.
You will present to your mentor a report consisting of two parts. First of all your understanding of this lessn and what its principles are as magickal methods for the production of occult force. Secondly, you will record experiences of this type, as distinct from succubates contacts, which you may begin to experience if you wish to identify yourself with this astral cultus. Only part one of this report is required for membership as a student in LCN, however, appreciation of part two may open most interesting magickal doorways on the inner planes and present the candidate with sufficient psychic ability to see the inner aspects of voudoo with greater lucidity.
Exercise
In the lesson I—1—1 you were given a structure for a magickal instrument of the mandalum instrumentum type, in lesson 1-1-2 you are given a method of powering that instrument, or magickal space-ship, anywhere. Using your intuition, tell me how you are able to unify the fruits of the lessons 1(a) and 1(b) in a systematic manner.
(a) please tell me how they work together as a method of research.
(b) please tell me that particular method of application which pleases you.
(c) please tell me what you have learned about yourself in this method.
(d) please tell me about any communications of an extraordinary nature you have received, and if they can be applied to your development in LCN.
(e) please tell me about the way specific energies feed into and fuel the various parts of the mandalum, so that for the eight parts of the instrument there are eight actual energies which you direct therein.
(f) please tell me of the magickal transformation of your physical selfhood as a result of using this machine under a variety of circumstances.
(g) this magickal machine can be invoked at any time; have you tried to use it at times other than when you do your magickal exercise?
(h) maintain a magickal diary of your experiences using this instrument, and provide me with examples of the contents of this diary.
NOTE: It is generally assumed by Dr. Hector-Francois Jean-Maine that the students truly wish to develop themselves in the fullest degree in LCN work. In line with this understanding, a small door is now opening in your conscience, the door of magickal research. There exists within the interior famille of LCN a secret group of research mages, who wish to invite you to share in their comprehension. Hence, we have attached a sample magickal paper of this research branch. Read the paper oyer, and in order to determine your intuition, write what you imagine to be the contents of any of the magickal topics listed on this sheet, and also let us know which — and you may have more than one favorite — of those given you wish to explore as a member of the inner research group, under Baron Zariguin, as Head Loa of the Spider-research spirit group and the were-spider, and especially were-tarantula priesthood, which inhabits these interiorities of consciousness in its esoteric manifestation.
Structure Your Report as Follows
1) Identify your specific line(s) of research by name and number, as given on the page entitled "Season of Ghouls." This refers to Famille Guedhe Research as a special science.
2) Provide an imaginative description of the magickal contents of the research topic(s).
3) Provide an imaginative method of using existing experiences from the exercise in lesson 1-1-2 as your guide for doing the research.
4) Select certain eroto-magickal situations which might be suitable for the practice of what you have imagined in point 2.
5) Discuss if this method will help you develop more and more power as mentioned in "Lucky Hoodoo," which is the basic introduction to our system.
6) Perhaps you would like to add certain insights from the paper on the angelic and kliphotic languages in order to deepen your insights and enrich your magickal experience. If you wish this, add information.
