The Kliffotic Kelim Fet<strong>is</strong>hesNow that certain esoteric aspects <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 218 Current have been d<strong>is</strong>closed <strong>an</strong>d o<strong>the</strong>rs are pl<strong>an</strong>ned tobe revealed in future publications <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>TOTBL</strong>, we c<strong>an</strong> briefly touch upon a previously hiddenform <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> fet<strong>is</strong>h<strong>is</strong>tic cultivation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> forces <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> kliffotic spheres within <strong>the</strong> alchemical work <strong>of</strong>218.The form in question <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> 'Kelim Fet<strong>is</strong>hes <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Kliffot'. These special fet<strong>is</strong>hes are consecratedvessels filled with links to <strong>the</strong> kliffotic sphere each one <strong>is</strong> me<strong>an</strong>t to collect or ch<strong>an</strong>nel essence from.These vessels are <strong>of</strong>ten in <strong>the</strong> shape <strong>of</strong> hollow statues, cauldrons, vases or bowls, <strong>an</strong>d contain m<strong>an</strong>yesoteric elements that have ritually or 'naturally' become connected to <strong>the</strong> Nightside force that <strong>is</strong>relev<strong>an</strong>t to each one. Through <strong>the</strong> Great Work, <strong>the</strong>se links become tr<strong>an</strong>subst<strong>an</strong>tiated into 'One Point<strong>of</strong> Sympathy' via a concrete concentration <strong>of</strong> kliffotic energy.Th<strong>is</strong> form <strong>of</strong> fet<strong>is</strong>h<strong>is</strong>m has as its aim to create actual points <strong>of</strong> entr<strong>an</strong>ce to <strong>an</strong>d from <strong>the</strong> Sitra Ahra.Their creation c<strong>an</strong> not start until a very solid knowledge <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> actual nature <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> kliffa in questionhas been gained through traditional initiatory work <strong>an</strong>d direct contact with its ruler. Theconstruction <strong>an</strong>d full m<strong>an</strong>ifestation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se Kelim fet<strong>is</strong>hes c<strong>an</strong> <strong>the</strong>refore take m<strong>an</strong>y years.M<strong>an</strong>y times, <strong>the</strong> tokens <strong>an</strong>d magical objects <strong>of</strong> each kliffotic ruler’s altar become <strong>the</strong> seeds <strong>of</strong> powerlater pl<strong>an</strong>ted into a Kelim. The Kelim, in its final stage, becomes a focused point <strong>of</strong> powerbelonging to <strong>the</strong> kliffotic sphere it embodies. Simult<strong>an</strong>eously, it represents, in a very concretefashion, <strong>the</strong> level <strong>of</strong> gnos<strong>is</strong> <strong>an</strong>d empowerment that <strong>the</strong> initiate has accumulated through h<strong>is</strong>/herwork.The first Kelim <strong>of</strong> our tradition <strong>is</strong> that <strong>of</strong> Naamah. Th<strong>is</strong> Fet<strong>is</strong>h Vessel <strong>is</strong> <strong>of</strong>ten constructed within <strong>an</strong>unglazed terracotta bowl that has been ritually cle<strong>an</strong>sed <strong>an</strong>d dedicated to <strong>the</strong> Great Work <strong>of</strong>Nahemoth. A suitable <strong>of</strong>fering <strong>is</strong> given in <strong>the</strong> name <strong>of</strong> '<strong>the</strong> Pleas<strong>an</strong>t One' <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> blood <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><strong>of</strong>fering <strong>is</strong> mixed with a Magical Ink <strong>of</strong> Naamah.Th<strong>is</strong> empowered ink <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong>n used to mark all <strong>the</strong> relev<strong>an</strong>t sigils, symbols <strong>an</strong>d formulas <strong>of</strong> Nahemaupon <strong>the</strong> outside <strong>an</strong>d inside <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> vessel. The marked but still empty fet<strong>is</strong>h vessel <strong>is</strong> later kept upon<strong>the</strong> altar as a symbol for <strong>the</strong> will to become satiated with <strong>the</strong> em<strong>an</strong>ations <strong>of</strong> Nahemoth.When enough knowledge <strong>of</strong>, <strong>an</strong>d links to, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Black</strong> Earth have been ga<strong>the</strong>red <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> license toproceed with <strong>the</strong> work has been gained directly from <strong>the</strong> kliffotic ruler (in th<strong>is</strong> case, Naamah) <strong>the</strong>yare, at a crucial, <strong>of</strong>ten liminal, point in time, sown into <strong>the</strong> holy vessel <strong>an</strong>d, through <strong>the</strong> gnos<strong>is</strong> that20
