Anthony Testa - The Key of the Abyss.pdf

the student be as familiar as possible with the mythic permutations of
their chosen Gods, called for whatever purpose. It should be noted that
this myth stream is also a part of the Solar religions that are with us
today, as “heretical” books such as the Book of Enoch – which so
captured the mind of Dee and also, we find, influenced the writers of
the New Testament, shows. In the following extract, Enoch witnesses
the place where the Seven Stars are bound until the end of the
Universe. For a complete study of this material, see especially Gerald
Massey and, from am magical perspective, Cults of the Shadow by
Grant as well as the Chapter in the current work Death Dragon..
(extract from the Book of Enoch, Laurence)
9. And I saw a burning fire which was in all the hills.
10. And there I saw a place, beyond the great earth; there the waters
collected.
11. And I saw a great abyss in the earth, with columns of heavenly
fire; and I saw among them columns of heavenly fire, which fall and
are without number, either towards the height or towards the depth.
12. And over that abyss I saw a place which had no firmament of
heaven above it, and no foundation of earth beneath it, and no water
above it, and no birds upon it; it was a void place.
13. And there I saw a terrible thing: seven stars, like great burning
mountains and like spirits, that petitioned me.
14. The angel said: “This is the place of the consummation of heaven
and earth; it is a prison for the stars of heaven, and for the host of
heaven.
15. And the stars that roll over the fire are they who have
transgressed the command of God before their rising, because they
did not come forth in their time.
16. And he was enraged at them, and bound them till the time of the
consummation of their sins in the year of the mystery 295 .
Finally, I will mention the work of Paul Huson, whose book,
Mastering Witchcraft, is one of the true “classics” of the genre and
virtually alone in the books that came out of the occult “explosion” 296
295 Book Of Enoch Ch 19
296
More of an implosion, really, like the hippies and their counterculture. Sound and fury,
signifying nothing.
