I believe in one secret and ineffable LORD; and in one Star in the Company of Stars of whose fire we are created, and to which we shall return; and in one Father of Life, Mystery of Mystery, in His name CHAOS, the sole vicegerent of the Sun upon the Earth; and in one Air the nourisher of all that breathes.
And I believe in one Earth, the Mother of us all, and in one Womb wherein all men are begotten, and wherein they shall rest, Mystery of Mystery, in Her name BABALON.
And I believe in the Serpent and the Lion, Mystery of Mystery, in His name BAPHOMET.
And I believe in one Gnostic and Catholic Church of Light, Life, Love and Liberty, the Word of whose Law is THELEMA.
And I believe in the communion of Saints.
And, forasmuch as meat and drink are transmuted in us daily into spiritual substance, I believe in the Miracle of the Mass.
And I confess one Baptism of Wisdom whereby we accomplish the Miracle of Incarnation.
And I confess my life one, individual, and eternal that was, and is, and is to come.

From Cicero's Self Initiation Into the Golden Dawn Tradition: Kerubim: "The group of Angels assigned to Yesod. The name means "the Strong Ones" and is derived from the Akkadian word karibu, which means "one who prays" or "one who intercedes." The Kerubim are the great formative powers of the Elements that are stationed in the sphere of Yesod, the etheric blue'print which supports the physical universe. As supporters of the universe, they can be considered reflections of the Holy Living Creatures in Kether. Their duty is to govern interaction between the inner and outer worlds and to serve as guardians of the portal between the worlds. They act as guides, heralds, or as agents of equilibration. The Kerubim are often pictured as winged humanoids with animal heads, or as sphinxes."

Themis is untranslatable. A gift of the gods and a mark of civilized existence, sometimes it means right custom, proper procedure, social order, and sometimes merely the will of the gods (as revealed by an omen, for example) with little of the idea of right. -Finley, The World of Odysseus, rev. ed.(New York: Viking Prewss) 1978: 78, note.

What you are drawn to relationally is dependent upon who you are.
Who are you?
This axis is revelatory when it comes to answering that question.
This axis also provides a tremendous tool for the working magician who wishes to pursue shadow work or relational Venus stuff.

Crowley adapted Liber Samekh from the Greek Magical Papyri's V.96—172, in which Akephalos (The Headless One) is invoked. The PGM passage is known as the The Stele of Ieu. It is used by modern Hermetic Arts Practitioners as a means to contact one's Holy Guardian Angel, and there are a plethora of modern experience reports from those who have performed it.
