The Revolver
As Magick
(from Essays on Intuitive Magick)
{Pausing. Hit any key to continue}: The handgun is not exclusively an instrument of death. Through
its use, the hand (Will) can be merged with the eye (Imagination). It is
thus a tool for magick whose usefulness in the occult has, to the best of
my knowledge, never been explored. So let's take a look at some of the
symbolism behind the words, actions,, and characteristics of handgun use.
For the purposes of this short essay, we will consider only the
revolver, because it retains the six (=solar) shells to be ejected at
will after firing. The word "shell" translates into Hebrew as "Qlipoth",
the hollow beings that inhabit the shadowy region between day and night,
Spare's "Neither-neither". Spent shell casings, being the "dead head"
after firing at a desire, make excellent souvenirs or talismans of a
ritual. After firing, they can be used as talismans for sigils to
excellent effect. The actual name "revolver" implies the circles of Time
exemplified by KALI. The revolver thus makes some very direct
connections to esoteric Tantric practices.
We will now give an example of practical handgun magick. On a
large piece of paper, symbolize a desire as the center of a target. Then
symbolize the ACTION neccesary to attain the desire on a very small piece
of paper, such as a rolling paper. Annoint both as you would any sigil,
focussing all you (sic) attention on the achievement of your goal. THen
take an unfired shell and remove the copper-jacketed slug. Pour out
about half of the powder. Wad the small sigil into a little ball and
{Pausing. Hit any key to continue}: drop it into the shell. You may wish at this point to mark the outside
of the shell with a design which symbolizes the completion of desire.
Pour the rest of the powder on top of your symbol. You now have your
desire lying surrounded by gunpowder (fire or Mars) contained within
brass (Mercury) this symbolizes active magical Will. Replace the slug on
the shell casing. Your active will is now capped by lead (=Saturn)
enclosed within a copper (=Venus) jacket. There is actually a second cap
beneath (as above, so below) which ignites mars (sic) to begin the
magical process (the primer cap) as well as the cap above which completes
the process. The cap is a symbol of Mercury. So we see that Mercury
begins, ends and encloses the desire at hand.
Into the soft lead of the slug tip, carve a design, which when
united with the symbol on the target, will render success inevitable.
You are now ready to begin your ritual.
Place the target in the direction which you think best symbolizes
the intent of your working. Draw a magick circle around you and face the
direction of the target. Turn one direction clockwise and vibrate a name
that you associate with that direction (I personally use N-Earth
"Coyote", E-Air "Nrsimhadev", S-fire "Kali", W-water "Atargatis" (a
mermaid)) You could just vibrate the name of the element symbolized by
that direction. Then fire one shot at the horizon in that direction.
Repeat this process until you reach the fourth direction, the direction
{Pausing. Hit any key to continue}: of your target or desire. Now vibrate the object of the target or
anything else which will focus your entire conciousness on the goal.
1. COCK
2. AIM CAREFULLY. Unite the HAND (Zos) with the EYE (Kia). Breath
with yogic regularity and relaxation.
3. SQUEEZE THE TRIGGER. While exhaling, SEE the symbol on the front
your slug splatter hot onto the object of desire as you SQUEEZE not pull
pull the trigger - the catalyst, union of hand and eye. To pull the
trigger is like sticking your finger in your eye. SQUEEZE the
trigger SEE the hand and eye merge, your Will flatten against your
DESIRE and puncture it. Trigger dents primer ignites powder burning
desire pushing venus (sic) jacketed saturn (sic) slug home to desire
and Will united. HEAR the REPORT. Nothing left now but the
paperwork - the REPORT. SEE the muzzle flash. SMELL the cordite
(=Saturn) - the burned up resistance.
In conclusion, remember all the active, fire PHALLIC symbolism in
the handgun. A silver, nickel plated gun symbolizes the moon in her
fertile creative ARTEMIS phase. A blued (black) handgun represents the
moon in her dark menstrual destructive KALI phase. Thought and "target
practice" will eluct many more connections and applications. A heavy cap
{Pausing. Hit any key to continue}: gun or blanks can be used indoors in any ritual to replace the archaic
WAND. FIRE

1. Broken revolver arched over shell.

2. Gun in holster - OSIRIS SLAIN
Gun drawn - OSIRIS RISEN
Trigger - THE CATALYST
3. A cocked revolver - COCKED!

This is posted as a follow-up to the discussion of whether handguns can
be spoken of in terms of "magick." One of personaly favorites.

"...if you want a one-line definition with which most Chaoists
would probably not disagree, then I offer the following.
{Pausing. Hit any key to continue}: Chaoists usually accept the meta-belief that belief is a tool
for achieving effects; it is not an end in itself."
