西方超越性魔法
The Tree of Life
Israel Regardie
Context & Background
背景脉络
1.
这本「Tree of Life」的作者是Israel Regardie。虽然叫做「生命之树」，但这一本并不是关於卡巴拉的着作，而是关於西方超越性魔法的着作。而Regardie也出版他的卡巴拉笔记「a Garden of Pomegranates」。
2.
大量出版Golden Dawn资料的人有两个，其中一个是连外行者都闻名丶并且创立O.T.O的Crowley。另一个就是Regardie。Regardie曾在年轻时去英国当过Crowley的秘书，而这本「Tree of Life」则是用来解释一些Crowley晦涩难懂的着作。
3.
这本书会是一个对Golden Dawn启蒙系统的诠释和了解。而更技术性丶更百科全书式的资料则在Regardie的另外两大卷「the Golden Dawn」。
A 触摸额头丶发音Ataah (Unto Thee你为)
B 触摸胸部或手指指向脚底丶发音Malkuth (the Kingdom王国)
C 触摸右肩丶发音veh-Geburah (and the Might 与力量)
D 触摸左肩丶发音veh-Gedulah (and the Glory及荣耀)
E 合双掌於胸前丶发音Le-Olam (for ever and forever 永远及永远)
F 最後可将说 Amen 或将双手推出再说 Amen (So be it 如是)
A 向东丶用魔法武器 (杖或剑)土驱逐 (由左下点开始)丶唱颂Yod-Heh-Veh-Heh (四字神名YHVH)
B 向南丶同样土驱逐丶唱颂Adonai (另一个神名ADNI)
C 向西丶土驱逐丶唱颂Ehieh (神名AHIH)
D 向北丶土驱逐丶唱颂Agala (神名AGLA)
E 伸展双手作十字交叉
F 说 Before me Raphiel
G 说 Behind me Gabriel
H 说 On my right hand Michael
I 说 On my left hand Auriel
J 说 For about me Flames the Pentagram丶想像四方位的四个五芒星都燃烧起来
K 说 And in the Column stands the six-rayed Star丶想像在上方有一个六芒星
M 重覆卡巴拉十字
41.
在召唤之中，若想要到来的灵属从魔法三角离开，会有另一个仪式，被称为「离开之许License to Depart」。如下∶
「O thou “Spirit Name”, because thou hast diligently answered unto my demands, and hast been very ready and willingly to come at my call, I do here license thee to depart unto thy proper place, without causing harm or danger unto man or beast. Depart, then, and I say, and be thou very ready to come at my call, being duly exorcized and conjured by the sacred rites of magick. I charge thee to withdraw peaceably and quietly, and the peace of God be ever continued between thee and me. Amen!」
「In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost, go in peace unto your places ; peace be between us and you ; be ye ready to come when you are called.」
「Arise, Dog of Evil, that I may instruct thee in thy present duties. Thou art imprisoned. Confess thou that it is so. Horus it is who has given this commandment. Let thy face be terrible
as the storm-parted sky. Let thy jaws close pitilessly. . . . Make thy hair stand up like rods of fire. Be thou great as Horus and terrible as Set ; equally to the South, to the North, to the West
and to the East. . . . Nothing shall stop thee, while thou settest thy face in my defence . . . while thou settest thy face to protect my paths, opposing thyself to the enemy. I bestow upon thee the
power of banishing, of becoming noiseless and invisible. For thou art my guardian, courageous and terrible.」
2.
在埃及亡者之书中，作者常常将自己代入众神的传奇之中，例如∶
「I have united myself with the divine Apes who sing at the dawn and I am a divine Being among them.」「I have made myself a counterpart of the goddess Isis and her power (khu) hat11 made me strong」
4.
象徵神圣的物品通常在头饰，有∶Uraeus Serpent丶Disk of the Rising Sun丶double feathers of Truth。
象徵力量的物品有∶Ibis Wand丶the Sceptre丶the Ankh丶Borne in the Hand of the God。
其他的象徵可能象徵着神祗的独特能力，如带来重生与复活，权威与力量，狂喜或稳定，又或者代表着在宇宙中的独特运作。同时众神的神话也代表着祂们之间的复杂作用，或在人之内的作用。
9.
The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage是一本很好的魔法书。它由MacGregor Mather从文版译成英文。其中就有召唤神我的方法。这本文献由犹太人Abramelin讲述给自己的儿子听，它分成三部份，第一部份讲述犹太人Abramelin的一些经历与遇见埃及魔法师，埃及魔法师传述给Abramelin的就构成了第二与第三部份。
11.
The Key of Solomon the King所罗门王之匙由MacGregor Mather由法文和拉丁文翻译成为英文，这位Golden Dawn的创始者本身是十分熟悉Evocation这种方法的。这本书有一些部份应是不学无术的後人加上去，但就整体来说，它构成了一个Evocation的很好系统，它的重心在於使唤行星灵属及摄政者。
A 准备及圣化魔法武器丶魔法工具丶建立魔法圈
B 驱逐仪式
C 召唤Invoke神我丶上主或宇宙性大能来主导这场魔法工作
D 进行 Evocation
E 灵属在魔法三角显现
F 对灵属说明离开之许可
G 驱逐仪式
注∶在原书第二版的210有一个对应表，是行星丶神名丶颜色丶金属等等的对应表。我摘取如下∶

Francis Barrett的the Magus中对圣化与魔法工具准备的过程有详细的说明。Regardie摘录了以下的几段∶
「Therefore when you would consecrate any Place or Circle,
you should take the prayer of Solomon used in the dedication and
consecration of the temple ; you must likewise bless the place by
sprinkling with holy water and with suffumigations, and commemorate
in the benediction holy mysteries ; such as these, the sanctification
of the throne of God, of Mount Sinai, of the tabernacle of the
covenant, of the holy of holies, of the temple of Jerusalem ; also
the sanctification of Mount Golgotha, by the crucifixion of Christ ;
the sanctification of the temple of Christ ; of Mount Tabor, by the
transfiguration and ascension of Christ, etc. And by invocating all
divine names which are significant to this ; such as the place of
God, the throne of God, the chair of God, the tabernacle of God, the
altar of God, the habitation of God, and the like divine names of
this sort, which are to be written about the circle or place to be
consecrated.」
「And in the consecration of instruments, and every other thing
that is used in this art, you must proceed after the same manner,
by sprinkling with holy water the same, by fumigation, by anointing
with holy oil, sealing it with some holy seal, and blessing it with
prayer, and by commemorating holy things out of the Sacred
Scriptures, collecting divine names which are agreeable to the
things to be consecrated; as for example, in the consecration
of the sword we are to remember in the gospel, ’ he that hath two
coates ’ etc., and that in the second of the Maccabees, it is said
that a sword was divinely and miraculously sent to Judas Maccabeus
; and if there is anything of the like in the prophets, as ’ take
unto you two-edged swords ’ etc. And you shall also in the same
manner consecrate experiments and books, and whatsoever of the
like nature, as writings, pictures etc., by sprinkling, perfuming,
anointing, sealing, blessing, with holy commemorations, and
calling to remembrance the sanctification of mysteries ; as the
table of the ten commandments, which were delivered to Moses by
God in mount Sinai, the sanctification of the Old and New Testaments,
and likewise of the law, prophets, and Scriptures, which were
promulgated by the Holy Ghost ; and again, there are to be mentioned
such divine names as are convenient to this ; as these are,
viz., the testament of God, the book of God, the book of life, the
knowledge of God, the wisdom of God, and the like. And with such
kind of rites as these is the personal consecration performed」
「It must be noted that vows, oblations and sacrijces, have the
power of consecration, also as well real as personal ; and they
are, as it were, certain conventions between those names with
which they are made and us who make them, strongly cIeaving to
our desire and wished effects, as when we sacrifice with certain
names or things ; as fumigations, unctions, rings, images, mirrors ;
and some things less material, as characters, seals, pentacles, enchantments,
orations, pictures, Scriptures, of which we have largely
spoken before」

Arthur Waite的Secret Doctrine in Israel丶Holy Kabbalah，Cornelius Agrippa的着作，Crowley的Liber 777丶Sepher Sephiroth，Regardie的Garden of Pomegranates都是对印记封印的一个很好诠译来源。
1.
圣灵弥撒the Mass of Holy Ghost中蕴含了超越性魔法中很重要的面向，Regardie在这边的意思是他只能提出象徵与局部的解释，以免被误用。沈思者会发现其意义。
2.
圣灵弥撒可视为众多高等魔法的综合与整合。这个弥撒与护符魔法Magic of Talismans有关，运用护符魔法，一种精神的力量可以权入特定的载体。在黄金圣杯Chalice中，魔法工作者要倒入自己的些许血液，这些血液不只为魔法工作者本身带来救赎，而是为全人类带来救赎。神圣之酒当被圣化，以献於最高者。而祭品当是要用要被唤起的神祗的精粹，以及魔法师的精粹。在这个方法中，炼金术的技术也被用上，因为它关注的炼出可饮用的黄金，哲人之石丶生命之酩丶不朽的露水。
4.
在Franz Hartman的Secret Symbols of the Rosicrucian中有一幅图，在这幅图中，一条人鱼从海中浮现，她的双手遮掩着胸部，并从中有水流回流於海。Franz Hartman说∶「这幅图代表着所有事物的基础，所有事物都从它而诞生。它是自然中的二元原则，它的父母是太阳与月亮；它在神的祝福下产生酒与水，金与银；如果你折磨鹰，那麽狮子就会变得虚弱。鹰之泪与狮之血必须相遇与混合，鹰与狮沐浴在一起丶吞噬并爱着对方。他们会变得着火蜥蝪一样，并在火中变得稳定。」
8.
在进一步解析这个工作之前，Regardiie 摘录了一段关於这个工作的炼金术段落∶
「I am a goddess for beauty and extraction
famous, born out of our proper sea which compasseth the whole
earth and is ever restless. Out of my breasts I pour forth milk and
blood ; boil these two till they are turned into silver and gold. 0
most excellent subject, out of which all things are generated, though
at first sight thou art poison, adorned with the name of the Flying
Eagle. . . . Thy parents are the Sun and Moon ; in thee there is
water and wine, gold also and silver upon earth, that mortal man
may rejoice. . . . But consider, O man, what things God bestows
upon thee by this means. Torture the Eagle till she weeps and the
Lion be weakened and bleed to death. The blood of this Lion
incorporated with the tears of the Eagle is the treasure of the earth」
A 首先是驱逐仪式 Banishing Ritual，它净化了空间与个人
B 接着是对宇宙性力量丶神圣力量的祈请召唤丶祈祷，接引神圣之源，精神之界
C 召唤主导该工作的神祗丶大天使丶众天使，召引出灵属或智能的物质性显化
D 当灵属或智能在魔法三角显现时，欢迎祂的来临，要燃香去给它一个「实体」
E 给予灵属离开之许可
F 结尾的仪典驱逐仪式
3.
仪典工作开始前，圣殿与空间的准备的必要且重要的。祝福与净化一个空间可以参考以下的方法∶
A 面向东，拿着魔杖的黑色 (或深色) 一端，说∶Hekas丶Hekas丶Esti Bebeloi！
B 进行小五芒驱逐，将魔杖放置在圣坛上
C 用水 (海盐水或祝圣水) 净化魔法圈与周围，説∶因而祭司当在掌控火的工作前洒水於响亮的巨大之海。
D 用火 (文中没有写，估计是用香) 净化，说∶并且经历所有幻影後，你将得见无形的神圣之火，那火飞逝向宇宙的深处，聆聪那火焰之声。
E 拿起魔杖白色 (或浅色) 一端，重复以下颂赞文∶
「祢为宇宙神圣之主，祢为神圣的非诞生者，祢为神圣无边且强大者，光明与黑暗之主。」
F 在第一次驱逐後，仪典进行前，要渴望地祈请更高的神圣力量来临，助自己一臂之力，在其下者渴望寻求其上者，其上者也渴望与其下者合一。为了平衡整个仪典，对齐更高意志是必须的。这边的祷文祈请是摘自Franz Hartmann的the Secret Symbol of the Rosicrucian∶
「永恒且宇宙性的爱丶智情丶喜悦之泉，祢以自然为书述写祢的印记，无人可解读之除非曾到临过祢的学院。因此我们的眼睛望向着祢，就如仆人将眼睛向着其主人之手，从中他们可得恩赐。」
「噢，祢为众王之王，没有人不永远全心赞颂祢，宇宙间的一切从祢而来，从祢而出，而从属於祢，和将回归於祢。所有一切最终将回归於祢的爱或怒丶光或火。且无论是善或恶，他们当服务於祢的荣耀赞颂。」
「唯独祢为主，祢的意志为宇宙一切力量的基础，无人可规避祢。祢为世界之王，祢栖居於天国与善德者的心之圣所。」
「宇宙之神，唯一的生命，唯一的光，唯一的力量，祢为所有中的所有，不在表逹与概念之中。噢，大自然！祢为无中之有，智慧的象徵！在我之内我甚麽都不是，在祢之内我才为我，我生於祢，我不生於其他；在我内我活出祢，并带自己离开自己的领域去进入永恒光中。」

Regardie之後还列出了Abramelin和Crowley等等若干篇的祷文，我就不译了，原文在原书的 258 开始到最後一页，在274页有短短提到Dr. John Dee 的以诺系统 Enochian Magick。在祷文之後Regardie 写了关於实际的召唤文，太长了，我也不译了，大家去找原文吧。
