Liber CCXXXI Restored: An Essay by Chris Titan
From Infictive
Tzaddi is NOT the Star...
Tzaddi is NUIT the Star...
Crowley confused the planes, no doubt while high on Cocaine, about the placement of Tzaddi and He and their attributions to the tarot. This created some really difficult knots here and there. CCXXXI is a perfect example of how the confusion can take hold.
It is obvious once we take a look.
We are given the following attributions
He-The Star-Hemethterith
Tzaddi-The Emperor-Tzuflifu
to these attributions are a sigil.
The Sigil for Hemethterith has been revealed to be a nude woman with two/three vessels. Commonly mistaken for a face.
The Sigil for Tzuflifu is a phallus shape with a face.
From my own personal research that is reported in the MAGICKAL JOURNAL I have found the energies of Hemetherith to reflect of aries self-conscious motovations and desires.
I would suggest that the letter He, being symbolic of the Power of Breath is very much reinforeced in the manner that the name is pronounced with a brath whissper is attributed to the Emperor and Aries as it is traditionally.
He-The Emperor-Hemethterith 'and this is key' using the sigil for "Tzuflifu" which represents a Phallus.
the restored attributions for the Aquarius working are:
Tzaddi-The Star-Tzuflifu using the sigil from "Hemethterith" which encodes a nude female with vessels identical to the tarot image.
It is obvious that Tzaddi and Tzuflifu sould be connected via the Tz!
This buzzing electric Tzzzzzzzzzzzzzz sound that emits from the Dog Star...that is what we need to tune in on for this to turn the lights on...
Appendix:
If you notice in the working of Frater 414 the Emperor wears no clothes and the figure in the Star is alluding to the fact that he may have made a common mistake. It both cases I can sense a rebuff for not having corrected this mistake in attribution.
Take a look for yourself and tell me how you feel...

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
Showered and robed with Spells. XXV, V. Fire Opal invoking Aquarius. Invoked IAO and verse 4 of 231. Changed HOO-OORW-IST 4 times and left 4 candles lit. Immediately into astral. I was at a window in an old country home. The Sigil was imprinted on the glass of the window. I opened the window and was whisked outside and into the air. Blue sky with a few clouds. I call to the Genii. A figure speeds by me through the air. I call again. A naked man stops in front of me- he had on the skin of an Eagle- like the headdress of a Native American. His eyes were white. I greeted Him and gave Him His Sigil. He accepted and thanked me. I asked why he was naked. Her replied that there is nothing concealed, nothing to hide. We fly to a river and swoop down. I see fish and mermaid creatures flapping against the rocks. I ask for a Lesson. The Genii told me that he likes to fly through the air and likes to give knowledge. He becomes an eagle and I am riding on his back. I ask the meaning of the Sigil. He discloses that the Pentagram is me. The circle divided in half was the dual nature of me. Mercury is there to transport knowledge. An Alchemical fire symbol is there as the "Method". "I" and "A" are Yod and Aleph, the Seed of the Fool. I ask for another lesson. We are in black space where the Genii creates an invisible pane of glass supported by two standing Lions. He tells me to walk through it. I cannot. It is very difficult to get through. He asks why I cannot pass through? "You are in your astral body right?". I will myself out of my astral body and become a large Eye with Wings. I can see my astral body down below like a robot that was turned off. I easily pass through the glass. I return to my astral body, greet the Genii goodbye, and return to my physical body. I recalled later that the Genii noticed that the lit candles in Assiah were distracting me. "Block out all distractions!"
Love is the law, love under will.

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
Showered and robed with spells and recital of VII; I. Performed XXV and V. Felt a bit clumsy when I dropped my Wand after first spiral dance. Still, I felt supreme exaltation. The Temple ‘sparkled’. A neighbor was watching baseball very loudly and this was a test: would I stop the ritual or persist? I passed. Invoked IAO then read the verse of 231 for the 17th house of the serpent. Studied briefly the sigil. In asana for 11.5 minutes. Into astral temple. XXV. Drew sigil in air – it spun clockwise like a pinwheel. Soon I was drawn into its center and was traveling headfirst very fast through a tube or tunnel. Popped out into a black space. Invoked the genii with fire pentagrams stationed in each quarter. From the column descended a flood of fire – coalescing into the Emperor Atu. My eyesight was distorted as the Emperor is in profile. He kept saying, “Be On.” Annoyed I banished this and found myself in a field. I was a ram. Beautiful scarlet sunset. Another ram near me kept urging me to eat saying, “You need nourishment.” I continued looking around through this ram’s eyes and saw a human near the tree chopping wood. I walked to him, assumed human form, and asked if he was the Genii I sought.
Genii: I am. (Genii has an accent, Irish perhaps)
Seer: How do I know?
G: Test me if you like.
S: (Handing an Atu IV) Do you know this?
G: Oh! I haven’t seen one of these in years!
I tested with Fire Pentagram.
G: I herd these sheep. If I didn’t they would all run wild. You are similar, kid; you have many sheep inside you. You must herd them together, so they all move as one, they all follow You.
I understood exactly what the genii meant.
S: I understand. Why are you chopping wood?
G: Don’t ask me why! I just do, I work and I know the herd will be ok as I work.
I understood exactly as well. I thanked him and returned home.
