that assist in the reification of the inherent
dream.
The secret Symbol Of this tunnel is a dreaming
woman performing in her twilight state the
manual magick veiled beneath the symbol of the
VIIIO- O.T.O. The number of Qulielfi confirms
this symbolism for 266 is 7 0, meaning 'olla', 'a
pot' or 'vase', a glyph of the vulva in its passive
and solitary phase.
But the formula of this tunnel comports another
element that is by no means as passive. It is
under the sign of the Frog, the transformer from
the waters. This totem typifies the evolution of
consciousness from the amphibious to the
terrestrial state. The frog is the leaper or jumper,
which implies a specific formula in connection
with the 'other side' of the Tree of Life. In the
Cult of the Black Snake this formula is referred
to as that of the Voltiguers, the vaulters or
leapers.
Frater Achad who 'jumped' from Yesod to Binah
by what he termed 'an unusual method', had
recourse to the secret paths alluded to by
Bertiaux. The deeper significance of Achad's
magical leap from Yesod to Binah is resumed by
the formula of the leapers as it applies to the
tunnel of Qulielfi.
It may now be understood in which sense the
tunnel of Qulielfi is equated with the Magic
Mirror, the 'twilight of the place', for the moon
that illumines this tunnel is of Daath, not of
Yesod. Hence, in Liber 231 we read:
By her spells she invoked the Scarab, the
Lord Kheph-Ra, so that the waters were
cloven and the illusion of the towers was
destroyed.
Khep-Ra is literally the backside of Ra (the Sun),
i.e. the Moon. The waters refer to M, the water
of the Abyss. The towers are those of the Black
or Dark Brothers. This points to a mystery
concerning the true meaning of Black Magic, for
the Dark Doctrine is that of the Dark Brothers
who appear upon earth (i.e. on the hither side of
the Tree of Life) as Black Magicians.
Frater Achad himself approached very nearly to
an under standing of this mystery of true Black
Magic, but, like many occultists before and after
him, he was blinded by assuming that Universe
'B' is 'evil' whereas it is - like Satan - merely the
adversary of the sense of individuality that is
generated in man by illusory egoidal
consciousness. In Universe 'B' occurs the
'dissolution ... in the kisses Of Nu' (i.e. the
waters of the Abyss) that Hadit promises. This
also explains the nature of the qliphoth, the
Nashimiron or 'malignant women' that are said to
haunt the tunnel of Qulielfi. [Grant, 1994, pp.

Rosenroth in K.D.L.C.K. p.553 gives: currus,
vehiculum thronus, sella curulus. He says one
source attributes the higher vehicle to Gedulah,
Geburah and Tiphareth, and the lower one
Netzach, Hod and Yesod. Another correlates the
higher chariot to the 4 cherubim: Chokmah of
Aquarius (the man); Binah to the eagle; Gedulah
to Leo, and Geburah to Taurus. Whereas the
lower vehicle comprises Netzach (Leo), Hod
(Taurus) and Yesod (Eagle) and Tiphareth as the
man. Still others called Malkuth the Chariot.

50:lO: "And they came to the threshing floor of
Atad, which is beyond Jordan (264), and there
they mourned with a great and very sore
lamentation; and he (Joseph) made a mourning

union and is related to Briah, the creative world
of Water, where archetypal ideas are combines
with each other. It has the same value as words
for: gold, beloved; a sacrifice; to show the way; a
gift; strength. see 14, 264.
