[@NoreaLamia]

This makes a lot of sense considering how historically humans relate their powers and duties to that similar of snakes, across cultures and beliefs. Also the fact that other Mediterranean stories had a female serpent or dragon being killed to provide something to benefit the beings that created humans makes the story of Leviathan being slain and being eaten seem relevant (Tiamat becoming the earth and Python's fumes at the Delphic Oracle comes to mind). Meanwhile the male serpents in similar stories are either guardians or holders of the world (such as Falak from Islamic legends) or are essential for a worldly function (Apep being the reason why Ra must make his journey, giving the day cycles). There are exceptions to the rule and it's not as strict outside of the Mediterranean, but it's still a strong pattern within a geographical area. That would also explain why in almost all cultures, there was a positive association with snake gods, snake spirits or giant snakes being guardians generally or helping protect order. (Wadjet in Egypt, Zeus' chthonic snake form, the black snake in Yezidism, another black snake with ears in Korean myth and multiple nagas in India are all examples of this... that's just naming a few).

[@zaetoir3586]

I tend to associate Leviathan with the abyss and chaos. There are many monsters that seem to have similar symbolism. You slay the monster(ego?) and you take its treasure and are crowned king(Keter), or reach enlightenment, attain unity with god, or go up a level, and so on.

[@chantalgiroux929]

Number dreams feel like fever dreams sometimes but I must say I'm in sync with your topic today. I enjoy how you set it up to explain it.

[@Morgan-pt2jx]

A very interesting observation, and one I'm inclined to agree with. The Book Of Job always struck me as a fascinating text, being modeled as a reasoned moral discourse throughout it's majority only for the central debate of morality- why does evil happen to good people?- being completely abandoned once the "accused" finally appears to Job's almost legalistic appeal. Many have interpereted God's response as "I am an ineffable bully so how dare you question me", but I always thought this was off the mark. The sudden pivot into arguably the aesthetics of God's power invoked to me almost an appeal to the Kantian Sublime, as if to instead say "you are fundamentally off the mark to appeal to me with reason, not because I will browbeat you with power but rather because I am categorically beyond reason itself." This idea you're suggesting of Leviathan and God's dynamic indicating God as singularity and God as Multiplicity would certainly echo the same idea. God's response then would not indicate awesome power necessarily but rather that Job is asking the wrong questions by conceiving of God in such a limited way. As such, God could not even be coherently put into question with respect to any appeals to Justice due to his manifestation as a universal singularity ALONG WITH universal multiplicity due to the fact that universal multiplicity inherently contains all opposites and contradictions within it. "You attempt to hold me to account for injustice, but your conception of me is limited such that you forget that I contain the very dualism of Justice and Injustice through my monadic singularity manifesting as expansive multiplicity". Really fantastic video Denis, I always love when you post your musings like this.

[@Morgan-pt2jx]

@@genghisgalahad8465 Oh, I didnt mean my silence to imply any sort of disagreement! Apologies, it's just been a long day. If anything I completely agree, and seems to be a problem to any text or tradition that tries to convey perennial transcendent wisdom allegorically through an anthropomorphized deity or being. "Yes, I, a being who looks, talks, and thinks just like you, is utterly transcendent and beyond conception. Just take my word for it." Taking a cursory look at history, it seems the problem we've pointed out of navigating the sticky space between allegory and literalism has been something of an endemic, hasnt it 👀

Just another one of those internal confirmations that you are discerning more and more and that GPS is getting sharper by the day. Kudos my friend, & peace be with you always.

[@robertgoad7238]

I also think the stories of snakes definitely are depicting the movement of energies, the words "slithering" and "winding" come to mind. Maybe these numbers correlate to the 12 main meridians of the body and the 6 sub channels that follow/"slither" through each one of them. 12 x 6 = 72. I have always understood it as we are actually calling on powers that are within us externalized. The utterance and intent apply the pressure through the symbol or container/word which is the power of the cup that the magician learns to use and manipulate. I think this is what made the word of mouth teachings so important. I also think this is how similar magics can look different on the outside but inside they are the same. There is an internal pattern to everything and this is one of the big things to remember when becoming a magician

[@b.draconis]

An interesting take. While your study and focus is more all around and written works, I've been watching L. A. Marzulli who has been tracking more physical manifestations and personal encounters. You both have very similar takes on us being a gateway for these things and how we are connected to the 3 spaces of heaven. And while you support the premise of balance in all things, his experiences have been one name rules over all others. I'd be curious what an interview or discussion between you two could yield.

PS Had to get the calculator out 9+3= 12 , x 6 = 72 ;) lol . All those Gallery of Magick books may be working more than I know, and I know they work, BIG time.

[@HeathenDance]

Very interesting associations, indeed. Besides that, Leviathan is the Jewish "version" of the Primordial Dragon-Mother Tiamat, Goddess of Chaos (Sumerian/Babylonian Mythology), and origin of everything that exists. Other versions include the Dragon Lotan, who also has 7 heads, just like Satan in the book of Revelation (or Apocalypse, don't remember), in which Satan is depicted, precisely as a dragon with seven heads. The Draconian Gods of Chaos represent the Multi-Dimensional Freedom, as opposed to the Gods/Entities who imposed the Cosmic Order, ruled by laws and hierarchies. Which includes, obviously, the Abrahamic God.

[@gabrielkaterle5949]

Would the Leviathan also be linked to Jörmungandr? An Axis Mundi Serpent associated with the end of days

[@HeathenDance]

@@gabrielkaterle5949Yes. That is correct. Leviathan, Jormungandr, Tanin'iver, Apep, etc. The end of days are associated with renovation and constant re-creation.

[@alalrual]

An orthodox interpretation of the Whore of Babylon and the Beast is that it's referencing the Roman Empire, with Rome "sitting" on 7 hills, and 666 = Emperor Nero

[@FoolishFishBooks]

Yes, icm definitely aware of the orthodox interpretation. Rome is a given for me - the author pretty much spells it out. Nero, much less.

[@liarliar7491]

"Crushed the heads of the Leviathan" Where have I heard that before? Oh yeah, i remember now, God told the crafty serpent and Eve something about because there was shenanigans in the garden of Eden between them, they now will be enemies, and God told them about how on one hand the crafty serpents descendants will strike the heel of the woman, , and the womans descendants will CRUSH THEIR HEADS. 😳

[@StaffanNilsson1]

@Foolish Fish Looking at the eastern/Indian tradition I was immediately reminded of the Kundalini as the serpent and the Nadis, energy lines. Out of thousands of nadis, 72 nadis are considered important / and 10 of them are also important / out of these 10 main nadis, the 3 most important ones are IDA, PINGALA and SUSHUMNA.

[@damnyankeesdaughter5427]

[@veneficarius]

wow! i dig it , and its like synchronicity for me , i was thinking about this/ sthg like this , i needed this video ! i feel its true makes sense

[@bastienvialla4476]

Some food for thougths, in the litterature of the Hecahlots (Sefer Brith Menouh'ah) Iehoel is of the ruling angels of Briah with Shemouel and Metatron. Iehoel means "Eternal God", he also the prince of the Seraphim in Yetzirah. With Shemoel and Metatron, Iehol is one of the 8 guardians to the Merkavah, you have to call them to protect you while you "rise" to the heavens. Regarding the "math", I think that the universal shitivi from Jacobus Swart (the book of sacred names) is a nice illustration of the interplay of the name of 42 letters and the name of 72 letters. The name of 42 is split into 6 names of 6 letters plus the last one of 6 letters merging all of them (6x6)+6. To each letters of the 6 first names correspond 2 triplets of the name of 72. However each name of 6 letters can be split into 2 words of 3 letters, as explained in the book, giving us 6 triplets for the part of 3 letters, 6 triplets for the second part, for all 6 words (6+6)x6. The daily practice associtate to it the book is very effective at bringing the powers of the name of 42 and 72 letters into you life. Maybe it is just all brain fart though.

I meant 72+42= 114 1+1+4 =6

[@cam-inf-4w5]

[@Jason-ji2zx]

Many of these mathematical insights and coincidences may result from the fact that we use a base-10 counting system (with all its implications). Thus it is probably not a coincidence that ancient practitioners were able to use maths to layer stories and myths with hidden meaning for seekers to discover.

[@dovel1000]

Wow. Very interesting.

[@saucydylan9363]

I think you have discovered something essential as it would make sense in the various worldviews magic can be seen through. It being the number of man would make sense if you view consider the 72 angels/demons as parts of ourselves.

[@David-gf3wp]

In Ba׳al Cycle, Ba'al Hadad (the warrior god of rain, storm and life giving) fights Yam (the formidable god of the salty mediterranean sea who is currently the king of gods) to become the king and faces the serving monsters of Yam, one of them is Leviathan. In modern Hebrew the word "Leviathan" means a whale, the largest kind of animals. I think that the leviathan represents the greatness, mysterious and dark force of the deep sea, the unseen places and even the unconscious. So, in a semiotic approach it's easy to connect it with the devil.

[@kirkcavenaugh758]

Levi-tan: snake joined together. He is considered the king of the proud, because he is unconquerable and covered in beautiful colorful scales. His hide will be used as a canopy and his meat fed to the redeemed and they will be told "go forth this day in the strength and beauty of leviathan." (The mighty devourer consumed by the meek)

[@dawn670]

It was beautiful when you said it was our duty to master all three so we can be custodians of all three. That we are the Axis Mundi.

[@FoolishFishBooks]

Yes! I truly believe that it's the whole point! I'm constantly seeing people focus exclusively on one side or the other, and suffer as they (unavoidably) fail to do so. 🤷‍♂️

[@fraterseeker]

The Spark of Divinity which resides in the center of each of us - and which connects us to the Heavens, the Earth, and the Underworld - embeds the pattern of the Central Axis of Divinity within each and every living being.

[@fraterseeker]

You make alot of valid points that I agree with. Yes, it would be quite arrogant to assume that we have full dominion over those realms. Well, that is if you interpret beings who "reside" there as actual gods and not what they are, which is different expressions of Divinity. Now, when I say Divinity, I am referring to the creative and destructive power of the Universe. The symbolism of the pattern of the central axis being embedded within every living being connects us to this Divine power of creation, and refers to the power given to us to enact change in not just our lives in the material realm, but also in the inner realms. "The Kingdom of God resides within man." This tells us that we, the people, have the power to change their reality for the better. And through dedicated study, we can learn to traverse the inner realms to humbly seek assistance from inner beings to make our will manifest. But we are most certainly visitors, diplomats, to those realms since we are materail beings. But more to the point, the central axis reminds us that, although we are of the material plane, we are all, in essence, divine beings. So traversing these realms, and even being custodians of them, would not be as presumptous as it initially seems, as long as we traverse those realms with humility, integrity, and respect for the ancient beings and powers which came before us to lay out the patterns for us to safely follow to reach them. Besides, if we are, in fact, divine beings, then isn't it our responsibility, nay, our duty to help make sure that all the realms are looked after and taken care of? The key here is, like Foolish Fish mentioned, Balance. As a divine being, you have a duty to live your life in a Balanced manner. If you focus on just one or two realms, while neglecting the others, then you will inevitably encounter more struggle than is necessary since you are not living in a Balanced manner. This is just the way I interpret things, and should not be viewed as the only, or even the correct, interpetation of this topic. As with most things dealing with esotericism, your mileage may vary, and it is up to you to experiment with and learn what does and doesn't work for you. This interpretation serves and works for me, but it may not work for you. @@genghisgalahad8465

Jonah went before the monsters face and told it he was going to put a hook in its mouth and serve it during the great banquet to the righteous. And leviathan swam 3 days away from him in terror.

I would say this: Occult knowledge of the medieval period was rarely if ever supposed to be obvious; the old grimoire’s are supposed to be laden with hidden messages; who can say with certainty how these are meant to appear? It’s true more modern occult books are far more direct-but nonetheless they take their sources and cues from them and from experience. I feel it might be significant-numerology ( if that is strictly what we’re working with) seems to have a hard time gaining any real credibility compared to other esoteric practice, yet it is still essentially mathematics at its core.

[@VINTAGE1959]

Correct me if in wrong, but when I was a Catholic we always knew 666 to be code for the early Christians and it was in reference to Nero. It's a numerical language.

[@triplegnosis]

This helps explain a bit of revelation I had in a dream a few months ago. In the dream I remember the phrase, "Metatron is suspended in the coils of Abraxas." Yahoel and Metatron are often considered to be the same angel, namely the Prince of the Presence or at times even the "Unique Cherub" or "body" of God seen in prophetic revelations. Abraxas then is connected with the year or 365, the sum of his name. He is also depicted as anguipedal, serpent legged, and solar, the rooster's head being a symbol of the Sun. Jumping from this, the sum of the square of the Sun is 666. I've been trying to unpack the meaning of that dream phrase and you've definitely given me a key to understanding it. Thank you!

[@triplegnosis]

I also just remembered that in the Zohar, Leviathan is at times related to Yesod/Tzaddik, the ninth Sephirah, and Yahoel or Metatron is at times related to Malkhuth, the tenth Sephriah, which is also related to the Shekhinah and in the Idra Rabba the Partzuf of the Nuqva. The Zohar also talks about the Shekhinah being replaced by Lilith after the destruction of the Second Temple and Lilith is related to the the Qlippotic version of Malkhuth and Yesod along with Samael.

Interesting! I've been looking at the Leviathan for other reasons recently as well... Do you know about the Nehushtan? It originates in Numbers 21, and is mentioned in 2 Kings 18 as well; and is directly referenced by Jesus in John 3:14. I was reminded of the latter in particular by your discussion of the gematria of "Messiah" and "Serpent" in Hebrew being the same, which no doubt the author of John knew in Jesus self-referencing by way of the Nehushtan. I've been fascinated by the Nehushtan for over 26 years now, and wrote about it in one of my classes as an undergraduate, and then also wrote a paper on it when I was in my M.A. program and was taking a class on the Pentateuch.

@@FoolishFishBooks Indeed! I always like to think of it as "The Brazen Serpent," not only because that essentially means "bronze," but also it rather amusingly puts into question the anti-idolatry of so much of the Hebrew tradition--in essence, a "brazen" questioning of it! ;)

Thanks in my opinion interpretation of your dream can be that you can control your demon as Yahwehal helping you or giving indication that you can control demons

What you say is nothing new to the Jewish kabbalah. 1 - The 42 angels of Alchemy published by GOM which talk about the 42 angels of the 42 letter name is actually talking about the (Seraphim) associated with the 42 letter name, so what are the Seraphim? They are serpents. So the book is about invoking 42 Serpentine beings(reptilians) to do the Alchemical work needed to transform your reality but what are the cosmic windows the 42 Seraphim / 42 letters control? They control the 7 classical planets. So here we have 42 serpents devided into seven groups where each 6 serpents are working as spirit intelligences of the good side of a specific planet 😉 In the following correspondence starting from the beginning Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon. If you dig deep enough into the kabbalistic literature you will reach the same conclusion about the 72 angels of the name where each 6 are working as spirit intelligences of a specific zodiac sign. So what we have here are 114 Serpentine beings functioning as custodians of the celestial sphere (working from the domain of Beriah) So what about the classical class we know as the Archangels (of Yetzirah = Tiferet and Malchut of Beriah and keter of Asyah) ? You can see if they are at the intersection of the 3 planes that by default they have a serpentine aspect to them to And here you have your explanation why the male Serpent is working as axis mondi because all those previous serpents are working to establish the world we live in (quality of bestowing=male= service to others). While the female serpents ( Quality of receiving, density, low vibration) i.e demons are ment to be killed or controlled because they represent service to self. As for why it 6 that is the building block just look around you (look above, look below, look right, look left, look to the front and look to the back) Why the axis mondi is us? Just look which day humans where created? Now ask your self one final question If the humans are made on the 6th day to inhabit a world with 6 special directions that could be used as a means of place invocations of groups of serpents where each group is made of 6 serpents. And if these serpents are parts of us / higher selves/ guiding spirits or whatever you want to call it, so what does this tells you about us humans? And what does that tell you about a global entity which uses (6 + 60 + 600) as their mark? Here you have the whole scheme laying in front of you and you can draw your conclusions 😉😉😉😉

Rehab the proud was another leviathan described

[@fraterwit]

Leviathan, LVIThN add to 496 = Malkuth, the kingdom, the tenth sephirah on the Tree of Life diagram. The kingdom is the whole of creation, the whole of humanity, as a connected totality, just as the central pillar connects the three worlds of heaven, earth, and the underworld. Further, 496 = sum of the first 31 numbers and 31 = AL, a basic word for God. The creator = the creation. Kether is in Malkuth and Malkuth is in Kether but after another manner: a Kabbalistic saying.

Is this the same angel whose name is spelled Johiel?

[@FoolishFishBooks]

Yes!

[@jorje0068]

Holy crap!

[@alexandregoulart.terapeuta]

I would suggest you to try other sights over the matter. Try, if you can, put the judeo-christian paradigm aside and momentarily assume other belief systems. Leviathan has been considered a hebrew development of the Babylonian Apsu, the Great Dragon of the primordial Chaos. The other polarity of this primordial force, of course, being The Great Tiamat, the multi-headed Dragon, or Serpent. Tiamat is the Chaotic womb from where everything that came to be manifest was born. And will be the end of everything that exists, at the end of this cosmic cycle, when all return to Chaos. So, She is at the beginning and at the end. She manifests in many ways, in many Magical Systems, with many names. Some consider the 'demons', or however one name those beings, as epithets to the Great Dragon, as all power comes from Her. Maybe She manifested Herself for you, and your mind could only translated such an experience as numbers. Just saying. ; )

This came to me as well about a year ago and no one would listen to me. Maybe now more will realize the number of man=72 is the number of the beast=72= the 144.00 which is number of the telemeters' on our DNA. Yep, there it all is.....

[@FoolishFishBooks]

Good call on the 144 000!

[@MathewWakefield-Is_here]

If Leviathan and Behemoth are symbolic of the two primal essences of the Monad (fire and mist, inevitability [Ananke] and time [Chronos], Tiamat and Apsu) - which I suspect is true - then the association you make of Leviatian to the 7 headed dragon of Revelation makes sense. That beast has the number that requires wisdom (666), which you infer is an encoding of God's name. If all of creation is unfolded from the two primal essences, then it makes sense that the end times will be a return to those essences. In the dance of fire and mist, inevitability and time, destruction and form are eternally entwined (Abbadon). It thus makes sense that if creation unfolds by the 'slaying' of one primordial beast or the other, putting its effect on hold, then eventually its effect will return. For example, bringing destruction to form. If God is constituted of the primal essences, then it makes sense that the dragon is an aspect of God. I believe the Christian 'update' didn't like the idea of God also being the opponent, and thus edited the texts to create a polarity of good vs. evil - that distinction is far less apparent in the old testament. [Thanks for the 666 decode, I appreciate it].

Interesting observation.

[@alalrual]

the Virgin Mary is also equated with the Morning Star in the standard Litany of the Catholic rosary

[@FoolishFishBooks]

Ah! I didn't know that but it makes impeccable sense!
