THE
QLIPPOTH

Addressed to the grade of Philosophus

4=7 by Frater D.D.C.F.

These be they who are Unclean and Evil, even the
Distortion and Perversion of the Sephiroth; the fallen restriction of the
Universe; the rays of the Coils of the Stooping Dragon. Eleven are their
classes, yet Ten are they called; seven are the heads and yet an eighth head
arises. Seven are the Infernal Palaces, yet do they include
Ten.

In the Tree of Life, by the Waters of the River, in the
Garden of Wisdom, is the serpent of the Paths; it is the Serpent of the
Celestial Eden. But the Serpent of the Temptation is that of the Tree of
Knowledge of Good and Evil; the antithesis and opposer of the other: the Red
Coiled Stooping Dragon of the Apocalypse, the Serpent of the Terrestrial
Eden.

Regard thou therefore the Celestial Serpent as of Brass,
glistening with green and gold, the colours of vegetation and of growth. Banish
thou therefore the evil and seek the good, thou who wouldst know the Life of
Ages, thou who would follow in the footsteps of our Master, 0 Brother of the
Order of the Golden Dawn. For as Moses lifted up the Serpent in the Wilderness,
even so must the Son of Adam must be lifted up, raised through the balance of
Strife and of Trial, to the pathway of the Eternal Life. And when like our
master, thou art extended on the Tree through suffering and through pain, let
thy countenance be raised up towards the Light of the Holy One to invoke the
Divine Brightness, not for thyself, but for those who have not yet attained unto
the Pathway, even though they be thy tormentors. Balanced between the
spiritual and the Material, the type of the Reconciler, remember the symbol
of the Brazen Serpent.’40 Mark thou well the difference between
the two Serpents, for before the Serpent of Brass of numbers, the Serpent of
Fire could not stand.

But at the Fall, the Serpent of Evil arising in the Tree
surrounded Malkuth, and linked her thus unto the Outer and the Qlippoth,
for this is the Sin of the Fall, even the separation of the Material Plane from
the Sephiroth through the interposition of the Coils of the Stooping
Dragon.

Thus therefore must Malkuth be cleansed and this is the
Redemption to come. For also Christ expiated not Sin till after he had overcome
the Temptation. But surely all things in the Creation are necessary, seeing that
one existeth not without the other. And the evil also helpeth the Work, for thus
the greater and more intense the darkness, by so much the more doth the Light
become bright by contrast and draweth, as it were, increased force from the
Blackness.

INFERNAL
HABITATIONS

The Zohar
tells us  that while
God took six days to create the world, the infernal regions of man were created
at night in the mirror image of the world above them. At the point where both
day and night merge the elements were mixed and unsettled, forming a
division in the waters (of the first day). Due to this imbalance between the
first and second day, the third was created to finish the work of the
second.

Infernal Habitations

In the diagram above, the first circle shows the Water
of Tears, for the tears are the separation from the Light after the Fall. It is
the cry of Adam separated from the first Adam and the loss of the Shekinah. The
second circle shows the Waters of Creation. This represents Creation away from
the Light. It is the creation of the Shells of the Qlippoth and the creation of
man from Adam. The third circle shows the Waters of the Ocean which team with
living creatures, both Good and Evil, and it is from this that the serpent
issues forth. The fourth circle is the False Sea and is the Astral World, the
place where deception and reflection are confused. The Four Seas are also
reflections of the Four Rivers from the Garden of Eden (and also the Four
Worlds), for it is they who must nourish the seven Infernal
Habitations.

On the right side of the diagram, the lesser circles
represent the 7 Earths. Though these circles are referred to as earths they
should be called states for they are states of awareness or consciousness that
envelop man at different times. They are also reflections of the Sephiroth and
are part of the Garden that man inherited that he could aspire to, for these
were left with man when he was banished from the Garden of Eden. In many
respects these were the shells of the Kingdoms of Edom which had been destroyed
by their imperfect ability to accept God’s Light, and are but shadows of their
former glory. The entire concept here is to show the falsity of matter over
the spirit. For the earths represent the material side of man, his passions and
desires, which eventually crumble with time as shown by Aretz, the earth
furtherest away from the present. Some consider the seven earths’ periods
of time or evolution to start with the present, Thabel, considered the most
perfect of them all, and lead to the less perfect worlds, and to the final
crumble and decay of Aretz.

1.        Aretz
— Dry crumbling Earth

2.
Adamah — Reddish mould

3.
Gia — Undulating ground, like
the side of a valley

4.
Neschiah — Pasture or meadow land

5.        Tziah
— Sandy or desert land

6.        Areqa
— Earth

7.
Thebel or Chaled — Mitrd earth and water

On the left-hand side of the diagram are the seven
Infernal Habitations. These are the experiences one will have passing
through the seven imperfect earths, as described above. Some of the names on the
left are of the angelic guardians (except the last), after whom these
experiences have been named. The guardians prevent anyone from leaving his or
her allotted area before the designated time.

4.       Bar
Shasketh — Pit of Destruction

5.       Tzelmoth —
Shadow of Death

In the Mercavah vision of Ezekiel it is written: “And I looked and behold
a whirlwind came out of the North, a great cloud, and Fire enfolding itself, and
a Splendour on every side, and Chasmal, the brilliance of the inner-most flame
in the midst of the Fire.

These are the Four Kerubic expressions of Force, and the
Evil and Adverse Powers broken beneath their feet are:

1.       Rahab,
whose symbol is a woman riding upon an ass.

2.       Samael,
whose symbol is a terrible demon leaping upon an ox.

3.       Machaloth,
a form compounded of a woman and a serpent, and she rideth upon a
serpent-scorpion.

4.       Lilith, a
woman outwardly beautiful but inwardly corrupt, and putrefying, riding upon a
strange and terrible beast.

To these four are attributed the Four Kingdoms, and they
are also classed under the Sephiroth as shown.

The Twelve Princes of the
Qlippoth

THE TWELVE PRINCES OF THE
QL1PPOTH

WHO ARE THE
HEADS

UNDER THE MONTHS OF THE
YEAR

These are the names of the Twelve Princes and Tribes of
the Qlippoth who are the heads of the months of the year.

1.
BAIRIRON — so called because they are derived from the Fourth Evil Force;
viz, Samael the Black. Their colors are dull and black; and their form is that
of a Dragon-Lion.

2.
ADIMIRON — whose colors are like dam1 blood, mixed with water
and dull yellow and gray. Their form is that of lion
lizards.

3.   TzELLADIMIRON — whose colours are like limped blood,
tzelil,2 bronze and crimson. They are like savage triangular-headed
dogs.

4.
SCHECHIRIRON — whose colors are black, and their form blended of reptile,
insect and shell-fish, such as the crab and the lobster, yet Demon-faced
withal.

5.   SHELHABIRON — whose colors are fiery and yellow and
their form like merciless wolves and jackals.

6.
TZEPHARIRON — whose colors are like those of earth, and their form is
partially living yet decaying corpses.

7.
OBIRIRON — whose colors are like clouds and their form like gray bloated
Goblins.

8.
NECHESHETHIRON — whose color is like copper, and their forms like that of
a most devilish and human headed insects.

9.
NACHASHIRON — whose colors are like serpents, and their form like
dog-headed serpents.

10. DAGDAGIRON —
whose colors are reddish and gleaming, and their form like vast and devouring
flat-shaped fishes.

11. BEHEMIRON —
whose arms are derived from Behemoth, and their colors are black and brown, and
their forms like those of awful beasts, like hippopotamus and an elephant, but
crushed flat, or as if their skin was spread out flat over the body of a
gigantic beetle or cockroach.

12. NESHIMIRON —
whose colors are of a stagnant gleaming watery blue, and their forms like
hideous women, almost skeletons, united to the bodies of Serpents and
Fishes.

In the midst of the circle are placed Samael and
Asmodai. The symbolic form of the former is somewhat like that of the Devil
of the Tarot, but colossal and attenuated; that of Asmodai is that of a bloated
and bestial man, but in a crouching position.

1This
is the title of the blood from the last of the ten plagues of Egypt.

2This
relates to a ringed formation of colors.

At the Southeast Angle are placed the Evil
Adam, a goat-headed, skeleton-like giant, and the thousand- headed Hydra
serpent; and the Elder Lilith, wife of Samael, a woman with an ever-changing and
distorted countenance.

At the Northeast
Angle is Aggereth, the daughter of Machaloth, a fiendish witch with serpent
hair, enthroned in a chariot drawn by an ox and an ass.

At the Northwest
Angle is a gigantic Scorpion with a fearful countenance, but standing
upright as it were and formed of putrefying water. After him cometh the
unnameable one, Abbadon, and his appearance and symbol are of a closely-veiled,
black, gigantic figure covered with whirling wheels, and in his hand is a vast
wheel whence come as it whirls, multitudes of cat-like demons, Behind him cometh
Maamah, like a crouching woman with an animal’s body crawling along the ground
and eating the earth.

And at the Southwest Angle are a winged lion and a
winged horse drawing in like a chariot the youngest Lilith, the wife of Asmodai.
She is dark, a woman to the waist, and a man below it, and she appears as though
dragging down, with her hands, small figures of men into
Hell.

OF THE THREE EVIL FORCES
BEFORE SAMAEL

1.
This is Qematiel, whose form is that of a vast black-headed
Dragon-serpent and he uniteth under him the force of Kether of the Internal and
Averse Sephiroth.

2.
This is Belial, a black, bloated Man-dragon. He who denied God; and he
that uniteth the force of the averse Chokmah.

3.   This is Othiel or Gothiel, a black bloated man-insect
horrible of aspect; his breadth greater than his length; and he uniteth the
force of the averse Binah.

4.
This is Samael the Black. All of these are of gigantic stature and
terrible aspect.

The Evil and Adverse Tree

THE EVIL AND AVERSE

SEPHIROTH

These be the Evil and Averse Sephiroth, contained in the
Seven Palaces, and these Sephiroth have their place from behind the holiness of
the World of Assiah. And Samael the Evil, surroundeth the whole Evil Sephiroth
who are thus eleven instead of ten.

There are eleven letters in the Hebrew word for
“Lieutenant Governor:” Esther 9:3; 11 days from Horeb, Deut.1:3; 11 curtains;
The Hebrew word AY4 were the curses of Ebal; 11 were the Dukes of
Edom, and so forth.

In the Evil Palaces the first containeth Kether, Chokmah
and Binah. Unto Kether is attributed Kerthiel which means “cut off from God,”
Ps. 37:34. “When the wicked are cutoff. And the symbolic form is that of Black
Evil Giants. Also to Kether belong the Thaumiel or Thamiel, the Bicephalous
Ones; and their forms are those of
Dual Giant Heads with batlike wings. They have not bodies for they are
those that seek continually to unite themselves unto the bodies of other beings
and forces.

Unto Chokmah are referred to the Dukes of Edom; and the
Zogiel (from Og of Bashan) or as it is sometimes written Ghogiel or Oghiel, and
they attach themselves unto lying and
material appearances, and their form is like that of Black-Evil Giants with
loathsome serpents twined round them. Unto Binah are referred the Satorial or
Harasiel, the Concealers and Destroyers whose forms and appearances are as
gigantic black veiled Heads with Horns, and hideous eyes seen through the veil,
and they are followed by evil centaurs. These are also called Seriel, from Esau,
because of their hairiness.

The Second Palace contains Chesed, unto which are
attributed the Gagh Shekelah, the Disturbing Ones, and their symbolic
forms are those of black cat-headed giants. They are also called Aziel,
Charariel and Agniel.

The Third Palace contairieth Geburah, whereunto are
attributed Golahab, or Burners with Fire, otherwise called Zaphiel, and their
forms are those of enormous black heads like a volcano in
eruption.

The Fourth Palace contairieth Tiphareth whereunto are
attributed Zamiel, and they are great black giants, ever working against
each other.

The Fifth Palace containeth Netzach. whereunto are
attributed the Ghoreb Zereq, or Dispeasing ravens. Their form is that of
hideous demon-headed Ravens issuing from a volcano, also called
Getzphiel.

The Sixth Palace containeth Hod, whereunto are referred
to the Samael or Deceivers (Jugglers), whose form is that of dull, demon headed
dog like monsters.

4This
translates as “where” and has a numerical value of 11 in Deut.
22:37.

The Seventh palace containeth Yesod and Malkuth. Unto
Yesod are referred the Gamaliel, or Obscene bull-men, linked together. Thereunto
are also referred Nachashiel, evil serpents, and Obriel. Thereunto belongeth the
Blind Dragon-force.

Unto Malkuth is attributed Lilith, the Evil Woman and
the appearance is that of a woman at first beautiful, but afterwards changing to
a black monkey-like demon. The name of the serpent, Nachash, hath the same
number as that of Messiah, who will root out the Qlippoth from the
world.

THESE ARE THE EVIL
CHIEFS

1.
Kether — Satan and Moloch

2.        Binah
— Beelzebub

3.
Chokmah —
Lucifuge

4.
Chesed — Ashtaroth

5.
Geburah — Asmodeus

6.
Tiphareth — Belphagor

7.
Netzach — Baal

8.        Hod —
Adramalech

9.        Yesod
— Lilith

10.      Malkuth —
Nahemah

According to the opinion of some; but these names can
hardly be referred to any one Sephirah, seeing their power extendeth over many
and numberless orders.

Behemoth and Leviathan are two evil forms, of which the
first is the synthesis of the Qlippoth already described under the head of
Behemiron in the Qlippoth of the Months of the Year.

The Leviathan are, as it were, numberless Dragon forms
united together so that each of his scales is like a separate Evil
Serpent.
