| With Six Letters, Three Cauldrons Of One Torah | | 2008-07-20 08:20:00 | | י"ז תמוז התשס"חFaunus 19Scribal oddity of two 'n's as found in Torah scroll (shown aove).The Celtic Ogham alphabet of the Druids is called Beth-Luis-Nuin. Through designating the Ogham alphabet beth-luis-nuin, in some manner then, the three letters (beth, luis, nuin) call out the soul of the Ogham into active creative manifestation. In other words, the letters symbolize the three creative rays of Awen, and the creative energy of the Divine Feminine known in kabbalah as hashra'ah.From the perspective of a Jewitch, beth-luis-nuin have correspondences to the Hebrew letters Beit-Lamed-Nun. In Torah, beit-lamed-nun symbolize the soul of Torah.Beit-Beth, with a 'b' sound, is the first letter (בְּ) of the first word 'bereshit' (בְּרֵאשִׁית) in the first book of Torah, Genesis (called in Jewish tradition 'Bereshit'). The six letters of the word 'bereshit' can mean 'with six'.Lamed-Luis, with an 'l' sound, is the last letter (ל) in the last word 'Yisrael' (יִשְׂר | | By: Walking On Fire | | |
| | Shayish, The Importance Of A Vav-Torah | | 2008-06-22 18:35:00 | | י"ט סיון התשס"חAlban Heruin 20The transition metal with which my newest ritual treasure is made is cobalt. With an atomic number of 27, most of the earth's cobalt is in its core. The Hebrew word for cobalt is ערב meaning 'evening'. My Craftwork cobalt 'evening'-related entry follows yesterday's series of 'morning'-related entries which began with Death Of Distortion, The Day The Sun Stood Still. During the period of time uniting the entries this weekend, as the order in my writings, evening followed morning.The morning to evening order is the reverse (a function of vav hahipuch) of that with which the waters of Bereshit 1:5-6 were divided, suggesting that the waters of Creation are no longer divided, and have reunited (a function of vav hachibur). | | By: Walking On Fire | | |
| | Her Torah Rising Up From Below | | 2008-06-08 07:06:00 | | ה' סיון התשס"חAlban Heruin 6Last evening's motzi shabbat divination consisted of 3 Hebrew letters and 1 Ogham letter.תיו - Torah from the earth; Her Torah, an earth-based shamanic configuration anchored in Truth through the letter tav (ת), projecting through Her hand (י), Torah (ו)and the letter ailm - the fid of an epiphanyThis divination followed the Tzohar dream vision of the single cell-like tav-like Newgrange-like iron framework of an inner temple room simultaneously, both coming down from above and rising up from below. It also connects to my Hebrew name, Liorah ליאורה, whose Torah pasuk of remembrance is Devarim 30:12:ל א בשמים, הוא: לאמר, מי יעלה-לנו השמימה ויקחה לנו, וישמענו א תה, ונעשנהIt is not in the heavens, that I should say, who can go up and get it for me that I may observe it.

| Torah | | 2008-04-08 00:00:00 | | Immaculate Conceptress
My soul trembles when I think of you
Every moment I am with you I feel joy
I wondered upon you as I watched you dance
And then you turned your gaze upon me
You moved towards me and looked down and smiled
I presented my heart as a flower
And you took it and it became a rose
And you smelled it and I was whisked into your being
I returned to myself renewed
Hope filled my heart as I gazed upon you once more
Twenty-two veils cover your perfect form
You held each one out to me and showed me its color and shape
And told me its name and purpose
Each one alone and separate from your self and each other
Then you let them fall upon your perfect form
And they caressed together – blending and becoming new colors –
Taking new names and purposes
And then you begin to dance once more, but now I understand
Now I can read the dance and know those things you choose to reveal
When you dance naked for God, I will blow out my candle | | By: GotPoetry - News for Poets. Place to Write. | | |

| | My Natal Torah Portion Via Yad HaChazakah | | 2008-03-01 12:52:00 | | כ'ד באדר א' תשס"חKeolwulf 25My Natal Chart[1] (click for larger view)."The ascendant of a given geographic location at a given point in time is the point on the zodiac which coincides with - i.e., is ascending over - the eastern horizon as viewed from that place and time."The ascendant on a natal chart wheel is located where the horizontal line intersects with the left side of the wheel.In my own natal chart, Virgo (Elul, left hand - yad hachazakah, action, pintele yid, days of reclamation) governed by Mercury is on the ascendant. Thus, communication, intellect and awareness exert considerable influence over my chart and throughout this lifetime.From The Chassidic Dimension, Rambam states in Yad HaChazakah:The Torah portion of Chukas begins with the laws of the Parah Adumah, the Red Heifer, whose ashes were used to ritually purify a person who had come in contact with a dead body.[2]The Rambam states in Yad HaChazakah, Laws of Parah Adumah[3]: "Nine Parah Adumos were made fr | | By: Walking On Fire | | |

| Species - Sitre Torah | | 2007-08-06 01:09:00 | | כ"א באב תשס"זToday's Hebrew letter tarot reading was performed during the planetary hour of the moon with the third quarter waning moon 49% full.The 3 letters in order:zayin-nun-pei זנףThese 3 letters form no shoresh in this order. Consequently, to designate meaning, I broke the configuration into 1 word and 1 letter. זן פThe new configuration - זן פ - means "species" or "variety of" (זן) the letter pei (פ), where pei signifies hidden esoteric knowledge. In other words, the esoteric energy of Sitre Torah is being brought down to nurture (זן) the world and remove negative influences through my humble jewitcheries. As the influence of the moon is waning, the power of malchut is waxing, to bring the esoteric energy into actualization and manifestation. | | By: Walking On Fire | | |
| | Ashtarot - Charging For Torah | | 2007-07-16 01:04:00 | | כ"ט בתמוז תשס"זIn this week's parashah (Devarim 1:4) we read: "after he had smitten Sihon the king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, who dwelt in Ashtarot, at Edrei ..."In both witchcraft and Torah, it is prohibited to charge money for imparting the wisdom each contains to others. Torah has a word for making one's spiritual practice into an idol through repeated actions of charging money for imparting wisdom - ashtarot.Ashtarot (עשתרת) is constructed with the root עשת meaning "an idol that enriches". The construct תרת means "to seek". Taken together, the construct עשתרת pertains to "seeking that which enriches" in an manner which prostitutes one's spiritual practice and knowledge in exchange for money, enriching the one who teaches while impoverishing the one who receives. That, my friends, is the inner and practical meaning of ashtarot.Technorati tags: Torah Talmud Torah Judaism Kabbalah jewish mysticism mysticism jewish me | | By: Walking On Fire | | |
| | Torah, reggae, marijuana at Jewish 'Woodstock' | | 2007-07-04 16:49:00 | | A group rocks to reggae in front of a large star of David while a Jewish rabbi urges a return to the faith amid a cloud of smoke: welcome to a religious Woodstock on the West Bank.At least 1,000 people, from Orthodox youths wearing kippas to hippies sporting multi-colored ponchos, gathered on a summer night for the 8th edition of the "Festival of the End of Time." The setting is a pine forest in the Gush Etzion bloc of Jewish settlements. "This festival gives me spiritual power," gushes Elisheva, a 16-year-old girl from Jerusalem. "There are sparks of holiness in the air." Close to her, teenagers smoking narghiles sit on carpets, swaying to the music. A curtain is supposed to separate females and males during dancing but in the darkness the religious interdicts are quickly forgotten and everyone mixes freely.

| | Making Of A Real Life Vav-Torah | | 2007-06-17 23:20:00 | | א' בתמוז תשס"זHere are some revealed explicit connections of this week's Torah portion (Chukat) with the events of my life this past shabbat.Zot - Designating TimeThough Chukat is this week's Torah portion (which began following this past shabbat), the verse [1] containing the word chukat (חקת) begins with the word zot (זאת). In the verse, the word zot immediately precedes the word chukat (the name of this week's Torah portion).The word zot can be separated into ז-את, a letter zayin (corresponding to the number seven) leading into the participle et. Grammatically, the Hebrew participle et "comes to add" something.The seder found in the verse under examination is:zayin-et-chukat-haTorahThe construct ז-את could be functioning to mark "something" intimately linked into the shabbat (the seventh day) which precedes the Torah portion Chukat (by way of preceding the word chukat in the portion), telling us that this particular shabbat "comes to add" something into the | | By: Walking On Fire | | |

| | Purim Torah For Sukkot | | 2006-10-07 06:56:00 | | ומ××™ בהו ××œ× ×ª×”×• היתה וחזרהSefer HaBahir, verse 2 excerptTraditional interpretation: "What is bohu (desolation)? It is something that has substance."Liorah's interpretation: "And what is bohu, but tohu sent out and returning?"ומ××™ and what isבהו bohu××œ× butתהו tohuהיתה sent out (projected out)וחזרה and returningIn other words, tohu and bohu, whatever they are discovered to actually be in terms of substance, are MADE OF THE SAME ESSENCE, for bohu is nothing more than tohu which has been "projected out" and is now "returning to its source". In other words, tohu is like aur yashar, while bohu is like aur chozer.Interestingly, tohu is usually considered feminine, and aur yashar masculine. Similarly, bohu is usually considered masculine and aur chozer feminine. There is an interesting gender mix here.As with tohu and bohu, another interesting "same essence" connection flowing through my translation is with Purim, where we are commanded to drink w | | By: Walking On Fire | | |
