Seals <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Schemhamphoresch<br />

These seals l 83 were given out to some members <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Golden</strong> <strong>Dawn</strong> at<br />

5=6 Grade or Inner Order level. They were used at Whare Ra Temple in<br />

New Zealand and had no associated documentation with <strong>the</strong>m as to <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

origin. Some years ago I was sent a copy <strong>of</strong> a set <strong>of</strong> seals in <strong>the</strong> handwriting<br />

<strong>of</strong> Ma<strong>the</strong>rs, which were almost identical to <strong>the</strong> ones here save <strong>the</strong> circular<br />

border. The Ma<strong>the</strong>rs paper had <strong>the</strong> notation "By <strong>the</strong> Great<br />

Magician Blaise Viginaire - A.R. 2494."<br />

There were three ways to use <strong>the</strong>se seals. The first was to use <strong>the</strong>m<br />

on talismans for additional potency. The second was for evocation work<br />

where <strong>the</strong> angel <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> seal is summoned to perform a desired task. The<br />

third method was to scry <strong>the</strong> sigils for astral work in experiencing <strong>the</strong>se<br />

potencies to see <strong>the</strong>ir full potential. Myoid mentor from Whare Ra, Jack<br />

Taylor, informed me that <strong>the</strong>re was a small paper on <strong>the</strong>se seals, written<br />

by Ma<strong>the</strong>rs, but he had only seen <strong>the</strong> original copy back in <strong>the</strong> 1930s.<br />

The three methods <strong>of</strong> study <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m that I have advocated above were<br />

<strong>the</strong> basis <strong>of</strong> that paper, and Taylor simply made some condensed notes on<br />

it during a lecture at Whare Ra.<br />

183 Also see <strong>the</strong> Goetia, one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> parts <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Lesser Key <strong>of</strong> Solomon (which is included in many<br />

publications to-date, including Waite and Crowley) for what can be called <strong>the</strong> mirror image <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong>se angels along with associated seals. The Grimoirc <strong>of</strong> Arrnadel and <strong>the</strong> The Key <strong>of</strong> Solomon<br />

The King, both edited by Ma<strong>the</strong>rs, also throw additional light on how <strong>the</strong>se seals can be studied.<br />
