And at that meeting was Coyote, the trickster, the thinker. 'Why should there be death?' pondered the people that day. 'Let us do away with it.' 'Death is already a law,' Coyote reminded them. 'You cannot cancel it so easily.' 'Then we shall change the law!' the people cried. 'Folk will still die, yes - but they shall not stay dead forever.' Quickly the growing plan flew from one person to the next. 'We shall build a great lodge,' their chief medicine man said at last. 'It shall be a place of great power. Into it the spirits of the newly dead shall fly. And out of it they shall walk, living folk once more.' 'How very nice it sounds,' Coyote drawled. 'But you forget one thing, oh wise ones. If folk keep right on being born, yet no one stays dead, the world will be a crowded place pretty soon. How are you going to feed all those people, oh wise ones? Where are you going to put them?' No, no, the people would not listen to Coyote. They chased him away with angry shouts. They would build the lodge of Power and that was that! But Coyote, watching for a secret place while the medicine men spoke their spells and chanted their chants, grinned to himself. He added his own quiet, sly spell to those set on the lodge of Power and hid to see what would come next. It was not long before a human man died. The medicine men played their flutes of bone, luring and tempting, and the dead man's spirit whirled on the wind, drawn towards the lodge by their magic. In another moment it would enter, and return a living man. But Coyote was swifter than spirit, swifter than wind! He leaped out from hiding in a blur of grey fur and slammed the lodge's door shut. 'No!' the people of power cried. But it was too late. The spirit whined and whirled about the lodge. But the door was too firmly closed. The spirit could not enter, and the power of the bone flutes was broken. The spirit whirled away on its proper path away from the land of the living , and Coyote laughed. 'Thanks to me, the power of your lodge is gone!' he called to the people. 'When the first spirit failed to enter, that lodge became nothing more that a useless grass hut!' That was all Coyote had time to say. In the next moment, all the furious people of power were chasing him. Of course he escaped, the sly grey one. But from that day to this, all coyotes still run with their heads looking over their shoulders, just in case the people of power - who refuse to admit how Coyote's trick saved the world - might be catching up to them. ________________________________________________________________________________ 5: Zos Kia by Austin Spare (contd) Occasionally, these entities actually achieved a degree of density sufficient to make them visible- and even palpable- to other people. He called them "elemental automata" or "intrusive familiars". They frequently copulated amongst themselves, engendering offspring simultaneously. Spare has depicted many of these creatures in their peculiar pursuits and has written several accounts of the Sabbath which he attended in their company. Old Mrs. Paterson's influence is here very marked, for he used her likeness as the type of the ancient witch in many of his drawings. One of Spare's constantly recurring themes concerns the transmogrification of age into youth. The first time Mrs. Paterson transformed herself before his eyes, the sorcery of it left a permanent impression which inspired many of his later works. One moment she was the lined and wizened old crone, then, in a flash, she appeared to him as a syren equipped with all the allurements of sex-appeal, an image that fulfilled his penchant for full voluptuous contours*(5). How she projected such a glamour he was unable to discover, and although he never surprised her secret, he tried- with paartial success- to emulate her example. This he did by a magical induction of ecstasy which enabled him to function at levels of high emotionalism. He was at such times creatively active for days on end, needing neither food nor sleep. Enhanced sexual activity accompanied this condition. On the few occasions when he did not sublimate this energy and direct it to artistic creation, he regretted it. Such was his hunger that in one night alone he coupled with eighteen women. He called these outbursts j"Dionysiac spasms of pan-sexualism", in which he had a vision of "all things fornicating all the time". *(5) See p.181. Spare wrote down his witch-guide's instructions and, over the years, worked them into several books which he illustrated by some of the best of his drawings. It was only towards the end of his life, however, that he concentrated the mass of Mrs. Paterson's teachings into definite form. This consisted of a series of aphorisms and a magical grimoire which he was working on at the time of his death in 1956. Both these works survive in manuscript. He intended calling the Grimoire The Book of the Living Word of Zos, the name Zos being his magical name in the Witch-Cult. The Grimoire is not so much a resume of the Witch Tradition as a highly individualized system of sorcery reflecting his creative genius and aesthetic theories. He also developed and extended his magical alphabet, the Atavistic Alphabet about which he had first written in The Book of Pleasure in 1913. Each letter represents a sex-principle potent to awaken remote atavistic strata of the psyche. Examples of its use are given in the Grimoire, where he allies it with Witchcraft. The following is a literal translation of one of his favourite spells: O mighty Rehctaw! Thou who exists in all erogenousness, We evoke Thee! By the power of the meanings arising from these forms I make. We evoke Thee! By the Talismans that speak the secret leitmotif of desire, We evoke Thee! By the sacrifices, abstinences and transvaluations we make, We evoke Thee! By the sacred inbetweeness concepts Give us the flesh! By the quadriga sexualis Give us unvarying desire! By the conquest of fatigue Give us eternal resurgence! By the most sacred Word-graph of Heaven We invoke Thee! This prayer or evocation embodies traditional Sabbatic concepts and might be described as the Alpha and Omega of Spare's doctrine. Rehctaw (Watcher) is spelt backwards, not for the reason given in connection with Dee and Kelly's angelic communications but because the "backward" symbolism conceals the key to the reification of desire, the final absorption of the ego-current in its source- the Self. Hence Spare's emphasis on Self-love, or autotelic ecstasy. Rehctaw is the symbol of reaching backwards in time to infinite remoteness by the mechanism of intense nostalgia. Whether it is symbolized by the Moon presiding over the nocturnal orgies of the Sabbath, or by the back-to-back dance of the witches and warlocks (see de L'Ancre), or by the infamous kiss of the Sabbath which is applied to the anus of the Demon; all such symbols indicate an infinite regression which causes atavistic resurgence and the inversion of sex to Self-love. "Shall I speak of that unique intensity without form? Know ye the ecstasy within? The pleasure between ego and self? At that time of ecstasy there is no thought of others; there is no thought."*(6) *(6) The Anathema of Zos, by A.O. Spare; London, 1927 The opening line of the evocation resumes the method employed at the Sabbath for conscious wish-fulfilment through self-pleasure, and it is glossed by the words: "Except in the sensuous impact of flesh on flesh there are no meanings." The Self lives in, permeates, and is identical with, Reality- the enduring and ever present Consciousness- the living flesh compact of endlessly reifying dream. The second part of the evocation refers to the sigils and letters of the sacred alphabet wherewith Zos (i.e. the body considered as a whole) produces its subtle spells by projecting its Self on the mists of matter, without. In other words, the language of desire and its meanings penetrate the silent regions of consciously forgotten experiences, evoking by its rebverberant power the ineluctable memories that abide perpetually in subconsciousness. "The Talismans that speak the leitmotif of desire" are, primarily, the two major magical instruments of Spare's system- the Hand and Eye of which the phallus and the kteis are the secret symbols. They are both used, as in Crowley's Cult, for evoking or provoking "consciousness in touch; ecstasy in vision". The fourth clause of the Sabbatic Prayer refers to the occult maxim that great achievements proceed upon total exhaustion of energy in one great burst of release, after a period- long or short- of sacrifice or abstention, during which time the necessary energy is accumulated and intensified. "The Sabbath is always secret, communal and periodic; an enforced consummation for almost unlimited wish-fulfilment." "Prolonged voluntary abstinence, repression and sacrifice, is released in mass sexual congress and sublimated to one end: the exteriorization of a wish, which is thus achieved by a great saving and a total spending."*(7) *(7) From an unpublished manuscript, Formula of the Witch's Sabbath as first told me by a Witch, by A.O.S. The "transvaluations" are effected by the sloughing of conventional ideas and beliefs, and by the absorption of the energy thus liberated. Spare terms such energy "free belief". It is this aimless energy that is seized upon at the Sabbath and directed to given ends. The fifth clause of the Prayer introduces one of the most important aspects of Spare's magic, that of inbetweenness. In everyday life one craze or "belief" follows another. By a process of not-believing, of emptying the craze, or obsession, of its content, we can surprise the tendency of belief to appear as one thing rather than another, or as one thing after another. We can in this way break through into that ecstasy of communion with the Atmospheric "I" which Spare calls the Kia, the state of inbetweenness, or Neither-Neither. The primordial belief is "Self", "God", or Kia (it does not matter what we call it). It is the only belief that is self-evident because it is experienced by each one of us at every moment of our existence. It is also the only belief that is truly free of belief, because to be is to be-live it- as Spare aptly expresses it. It is void of necessity to become anything else, for it is all things all the time and can only and always be itself. If we can realize this we shall not fall into the error of conceptual thought, which constantly breeds other thoughts with which we temporarily identify ourselves: the Buddhist cycle of birth, death and rebirth. In a few words, Spare states the crux of the doctrine: "By hindering belief and semen from conception, they become simple and cosmic." Only when desire has become cosmic can the total ecstasy, which characterizes Kia, dawn in the individual consciousness, because it is then no longer limited or personalized consciousness, but cosmic in scope and free to enjoy itself eternally. In other words, one must enlarge belief or desire until it embraces all things; Spare urges us to will "insatiety of desire, brave self-indulgence and primaeval sexualism",*(8) for belief freed from conception merges desire with the Infinite, creates a unity of Self-Knowing (which is also supreme Self-Love) and transcends the two poles of objectivity and subjectivity, discovering in between the two, the Real Self, Kia, the Atmospheric "I". *(8) The Focus of Life, by Austin O.
