The Secret of Solomon's Seal

[DocHolliday]

Shelomoh ha-Melech, Solomon the king, was known not only for his wisdom, but also for his dealings with beings both angelic and demonic, most particularily for possessing a semi-cordial relationship with Ashmodai (Asmodeus). One secret to his power is the Seal of Solomon, known today as the magen Dawid (shield of David): two triangles, one facing up and the other facing down, super-imposed upon each other to form a hexagram.

I belive the secret of this seal is that it reflects the will to independent life. Not only can the creative magus identify the six points of the hexagram with the six tenets of the anthropic principle, but they represent complete symmetry and unity. When one understands the upward ascent of the Sephiroth, superimposed on the downward descent of the Qelippoth, the gate to yihud - unity - is opened. Like the Elder Seal of the Necronomicon, the Seal of Solomon is sword and chalice together: Adam and Eve united as one being. It is also the fire and earth of Sammael and Eve united.

In Solomon's Seal, we see the promise of the seed of Cain, realizing both the humanity and divinity, unfettered by external forces, and acting as a true, independent agent.

Solomon's Seal within the inverted pentegram, within the eight-rayed star of Chaos. This is the seal of alghol, the eye of Azalucel, the womb of Lillith, and the watery grave of Tiamat, the leviathan which was slain.

what are the "six tenets of the anthropic principle"? It's possible I already know this but I don't know it by that name...

Corporate proxy is locking me out of the pages I need. I'll post later.

Same question I had..Are we talking Intellegent Design Theory here? Otherwise I totally grock the rest of it.

The verbal imagery is impacting very nicely. :cool:

yeah...Doc is good at his thing. I get so sick of grimoir crapola until he opens his mouth a bit on the subject...

Once again the difference made through actual study + practice I imagine...

We are not limited to Solomonic Magic with respect to the sigil in question itself of course. I haven't done a proper historical survey but I know we find this symbol linked to Kali for instance...one of the few indigenous east-indian godforms (much older than Siva for instance)...

technically the sri yantra (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:SriYantra_construct.svg) may have come in later though since the (maha) kali yantra (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Mahakaliyantra.jpg) itself often only depicts the descending...in any case, there's little doubt that this is one of the major symbological players in circulation.

any reference links?

the top one is a variation on the mahakali yantra but the bottom one is clearly a buddhist thangka form...

My avatar is an example of the sigil I describe in the post. Regarding the anthropic principle, see here:

Yep, yep, yep...Although I haven't researched the specific source of those particular images beyond that site... as of yet.

Yeah Doc, You're reference is what I thought , so I'm tracking you fully.

As of now there are 4 major sets of Anthropic principles (strong, weak, participatory, final, )

Are the 6 tenets you refer to these -


ε = .007, the fraction of the mass of lone protons and neutrons lost(converted to energy) in binding them together as a helium nucleus. This value allows larger atoms to form without making larger atoms so energetically favorable that all the hydrogen would fuse into helium and larger atoms too quickly.
N = 1036, the ratio of the forces that hold atoms together to the force of gravity between them.
Ω (value not specified), the density of material in the universe.
λ (value not specified), the strength of some sort of newly-discovered (1998) cosmic antigravity that controls the expansion of the universe.
Q, 1/100000, the amplitude of cosmic irregularities or ripples in the expanding universe that allows the formation of bodies the sizes of planets and stars without forming such enormous collections of matter that everything in the universe would be sucked into a giant black hole.
D, 3, the number of spatial dimensions in our universe. See also String Theory, M Theory.source - http://everything2.com/?node_id=104505

Yeah. That makes sense. I don't buy that Solomon knew it all, but he did manage to fuck around with some essential weaponry.

[Catalytic Subterfuge]

Didn't Solomon also have something like 400 wives and 300 concubines?
Not sure that is important here on this thread. Just a question.

[MythMath]

No, I think it was 300 wives and 400 conch shells...

Who in the right mind (or left brain)
would want to have 400 wives...!!!???

[Dragon]

Meanwhile - back on topic....

Doc, where do you place the tenets on the star?
