Before the time of the Chaldean Abraham, a mystical race of Celestial
Maji lived in the ancient city of Harran. They procured and practiced
the Astro-Majiqal rites from ancient Sumer and Akkad. To these
rituals, they affixed the philosophical writings of Hermes
Trismegistus and the original Book of Enoch. Along with the Ark of
the Covenant, the Book of Enoch vanished after the death of King
Solomon. Two copies are rumored to exist, one in the hands of the
Harranean Maji and the other in Ethiopia.
The Harran’s would eventually be referred to as Nabataens and
afterward, as Sabians, and finally, they become the Yezidi. Most of
the Sabian era had already adopted Abrahamism and practiced
Baptism which was attributed to the True Christ, John the Baptist.
However, the Sabians continued the Celestial Majiq of their
ancestors and would lay down the footing for the worship of the
heretical angel, Malek Tauus of the Yezidi tribe.
Because of severe punishment (death) from an Islamic Caliph, which
is a Muslim civil and religious ruler, for not accepting the “approved”
religions of the time which were Christianity, Judaism, Islam, or
Zoroastrianism or not having a ‘properly’ defined religion/faith
based on text and worship of a god structure, the Sabians adopted
Hermes Trismagestos as their Prophet and the Corpus Hermeticum
as their scripture faith and philosophy. A very good choice in my
opinion.
The Sabians of Harran would produce a monumental scripture in the
10th century based on ancient Chaldean and Classical Hermetic
Majiq and philosophy called the Ghāyat al-Ḥakīm, popularly known
as The Picatrix. It focused on Celestial Majiq, specific hours of ritual
performance, Stellar Intelligences, and Talismanic Majiq. The
Intelligences of Celestial Beings were called down (Howled) through
imagery and oration. Here we find the origin of all Grimoire Magic.
al-Ra’s
The Sabian Maji of Harran were referred to as Ashab al-r’as
(Adherents of the Head). One of the rites and practices of the
Harrans, the focus of this chapter if not the entire grimoire is the
Ritual of al-Ra’s which involves the decapitation of a young boy
resembling the pre-Islamic deity Utarid (Mercury), whose head is
then placed upon an altar where it ‘howls’ or rather is used for
prophecy. At the zenith of the Mercury Transition a boy that
resembles Utarid/Mercury is plunged into a vat of oil and sodium
borate which tempers his joints and softens the bones. His head was
then forcefully drawn upward by a device thus stretching the neck
and eventually disconnecting it from the spinal cord. Then through
ritual, the Celestial Intelligence of Utarid/Mercury could enter the
decapitated head and speak in tongues of mystery and prophecy.
The Prophecy from a Severed Head can be found in Eastern Indian
(Vedic) traditions and as we learned the al-Khemia of Sabian texts,
they are the wellspring for the true mystery behind the Knights
Templar’s head worship of Baphomet.
The Knights Templar would
have encountered heretical Sufi sects, including sorcerers (Sāhir)
and the Hashashis (assassins) in their commission to safely guide
Christian pilgrims through Muslim Holy Land.
Afghan philosopher and Sufi Idries Shah makes the argument in his
seminal book ‘The Sufis’, that the Baphomet was the head of a Mystic
Maji revered by heretical Sufi sects called “Hallaja”. He was
decapitated for testifying about his heretical spiritual experiences.
The current Caliph’s Queen Mother then had the head embalmed
and would later come into the hands of Sufi Maji. This Hallaj Sufi
Sect is the source of the Baphomet legend and also the model for the
Masonic figure, Hiram Abiff, the alleged architect of Solomon’s
Temple who was decapitated for not revealing the secret words,
grips, and signs of the Master Mason.
The Gnostics of the Roman Empire believed John the Baptist, a
Gnostic and the prophet of the New Testament, was to be the true
Messiah, not Yeshua the Nazarene. The Templars followed his
Doctrine and became their Patron Saint laying the foundation for
what is now Freemasonry. John was beheaded at the Temple Mount
in Jerusalem and his head was venerated by early Christians. The
Great Beast himself, Aleister Crowley figured out the name
‘Baphomet’ meant “Baptist of Wisdom” and was worshiped and used
by the Templars as a tool for prophecy. A templar of Florence
declared that, in the secret meetings of the Templars, one brother
said to the others, showing them the idol, “Adore this head. This
head is your God and your Mahomet” (someone who speaks by
divine inspiration). In the legend of Orpheus, he is torn into pieces
and his head begins to speak and give oracles.
