Temple of the Black Light (TOTBL) is an international temple ...

As Naamah is the 'Lovely' and the 'Pleasant One', she often manifests her essence in formsexoterically connect to the Queen of the Succubus, but her sub-lunar essence is more chthonic thansexual, and her seductive smile often hides her cruel intentions.Naamah can also be linked, in form, to the biblical vision of the Whore of Babylon (again as avisible and manifested form of the unmanifested and fluid essence of Ama Lilith). She is alsoknown for her enchanting singing voice, which has the power to make the stars of the heavens fall,awaken the Spiritual Flame in her elect, and drive man (and woman) to madness and monstrouscrimes.In order to understand Naamah as the 'visible face of Lilith,' one must first understand Lilith's'facelessness' on many different levels, as it represents her ability to assume every aspect, form andpower she wishes. Lilith's manifestations are fluid, like the lunar element that she rules over, andher masks shift like the 'thousand faces of the moon.' Because of this, Lilith's manifestations,powers, and attributes are more surrealistic and bizarre than those of Naamah.Naamah is much more concrete in her manifestations and therefore easier to understand and graspthan Lilith, who is beyond causal understanding. But in order to really understand what we mean bysaying that Naamah is the 'visible face of the faceless queen', the differences between the spheres ofdreams and the sphere of manifestation must be fully understood.The ethereal power of the Lunar Gamaliel becomes focused, firm, but also somewhat limited, inNahemoth. That which is unbound by static form in the realm of surrealistic Nightmares takes amore graspable (but not fully static) form in Nahemoth. The astral kliffot thus descends, throughNaamah, into the realm of kliffotic manifestation (Nahemoth). And because of the connectionbetween Nahemoth and Malkut (the entangled roots of the two trees) it is Naamah who is themistress of the Earth Gates leading to the Nightside.All the different aspects of the Vision of Naamah are symbolic representations of the diverse powersand attributes connected to her, so when one brings all of them together, a focused 'point ofsympathy' (and ingress) that attracts the essence it is in harmony with, is created, consecrated andopened.The Vision of Naamah then becomes a 'Holy Eidolon'/Astral Idol (spiritual effigy/fetish), connectedto the 218 Current, and constructed to become both a dwelling place for the evoked power of theNehemotic Mistress as well as a gate to her kliffotic realm.Hail Naamah Nahemoth Nahema!TOTBL – 21860
