Newsgroups: alt.magick From: dgaluchon@cid.aes.doe.CA (Daniel) Subject: Dwellers on thresholds Date: Wed, 7 Dec 1994 15:02:33 GMT Some preceeding post (on alt.pagan), too long to quote, had a lot of interesting questions about the Dwellers on thresholds, the HGA, jungian stuff etc.. I' ll give it a try for one answer. ----- clip ----- |> In article , ipfoot@ic.ac.uk says... |> >I have been looking for information on "Dwellers on the Threshold" and |> >haven't been able to find out anything from any pagan/wicca type |> >books. |> This concept, though not present in any "wiccan" or "strictly pagan" |> sources I know of, is a "magickal" concept present in most discussions |> of the Kabbalah from a magickal viewpoint. |> >Can anyone post any more information about them and/or provide |> >references for any good books that deal with them in a clear ------ clop ----- Dwellers on treshold(S). A partial list as a guide for the Traveler between worlds. ( passwords of portals omitted for security reasons ) ======================================================================== 1- BULL our shadow, repressed self. I call him Mr. Hyde. Ignorance, greed, lust and attachment. The Minotaur in his labyrinth. 2- LION power, anger, passion, heroism. We are so powerfull at that stage, but so naive also. Should we put here the flaming DRAGON also? 3- EAGLE blinding light. This is the stage where we think we know everything, and all is so cristal clear, and we are, oh, so clever ... 4- SPHINGE the animus (anima). The feminine part in ourselves which is not accomplished. This is reverse for women. 5- SERPENT the guardian of treasures and of the magickal power. Also appears sometimes, as a most beautifull vampire-woman (or man). May be the DRAGON should be included in this category as well? 6- GORGONA all reptilian and disgusting forms. The FEAR of the alien, and all which shatters the mirror of self-reflexion and reason. 7- our own DEATH is also a Dweller on the treshold, present in all serious initiations. Persephonia is a good candidate. ======================================================================== seven dwellers so far. not bad ... any more ideas anyone?? As for books: Both the egyptian & tibetan Book of Death speak of Dwellers & tresholds. ======================================================================== | dgaluchon@cidsv01.cid.aes.doe.CA |
