In Arabic, there is apparently even a word, related to qin (or qvn), which means “a
female minstrel”!
My source here, for the most part, is Gesenius. Don’t know if he’s fallen from favor,
and don’t particularly care. I’m also aware that I am here stating none but the most
superficial of interpretations.
Obviously, there is a lot of meaning packed in there, but I’m sure you already knew
this much.
Take care, SATYR
[Ed’s note—It is intriguing, given the equivalence between Jubalcain and agla by
gematria that Satyr has noticed, that the angel Uriel instructed Dr John Dee to inscribe
on the back of the wax Sigillum Dei Æmeth a circle and cross design in which the four
letters A, G, L, and A are to be written clockwise from the
top left quadrant ( James, The Enochian Magick of Dr John
Dee, p 37; Tyson, Enochian Magic for Beginners, pp 82–83,
a g
and shown left). On July 2, 2001, I visited the British
Museum to take a closer look at the Sigillum Dei Æmeth,
a l but by the perversity of the gods it had just been removed
from the glass case by the preservation department who
feared that the unusually hot weather may melt the wax
discs—just an empty space surrounded by the gold disc, the crystal sphere, and the
Aztec obsidian dark mirror. Æmeth (tm)), Hebrew for “Truth”, is said to have been
the word of power used by Rabbi Loew to animate the Golem of Prague. There is a
tradition that agla was heard by Lot, which saved him from the destruction of Sodom.]
Currents and perceptions
Many discussions have centred on magical currents. The general impression from
literature and discussion is that currents exist for a while and then fade away, being
replaced by another, more vital current.
In the past few decades there have been claims for the “93 current”, “Ma’at current”,
“Lam current”, the “Nu-Isis current”, the “Typhonic current”, the “Transplutonic
current”, the “Current of the Seven Rays” (emanating from the constellation Leo, no
relation to the ota [Ordo Templi Astarte—Ed]), and the “Sirius current”.
