Mercurian Leo
Nith-Haiah
(Bardon): “The twenty-fifth genius is, as far as Magic and Qabalah are concerned, the greatest original initiator of the Mercury sphere, who guards all secret mysteries well. He sees to it that to no unworthy person is revealed the “Abhisheka” or knowledge in Magic and Qabalah. On the other hand he initiates a mature magician into the profoundest secret mysteries of magic and Qabalah and enables him to comprehend the deepest mysteries of the cosmic orderliness and to make practical use of its laws. The magician will not only find in this genius an original initiator into all sciences, but also into the greatest wisdom that can ever be grasped by a man. Nith-Haiah is the guardian-angel of all magicians on earth.”

Magic usually has a dual meaning – one being the art and science that is used by those initiated in the magical arts while the other meaning refers to an ascension through the planes of experiential mastery. The two are not exclusive but part of a holistic process. It should be noted that there are many different types of magic, including folk magic, shamanism, wicca and Divine Theurgy. The Qabalah is a system created by Medieval Jewish mystics, informed by Hindus, themselves recipients of ancient spiritual practices originating in the Ukrainian veldt and migrating to Persia, that describes how God created the world, and how to honor the laws of Divine Creation and gain insight into spiritual matters. The word “magic” comes from the Persian word “magi”, referring to Imago, the Creative faculty of Generative Imagination. In popular culture, magic was often portrayed as being white in color. This association is due to Hermetic Correspondence with the Divine Light. The word ‘Divine’ is from the proto indo-european meaning ‘to shine’. From the foregoing we can see that Magic is neither trivial nor recent but rather ancient and profound.
The Head Mercurian Magus is a profound cosmic mystery in his own right. The Head Mercurian Magus provides strength and authority in all matters from which he governs, such as Abhisheka: the bestowing of Magical Powers and Abilities (Siddhis).
The Head Mercurian Magus is the guardian of secrets, and knowledge and wisdom. He is from an ancient priesthood who is responsible for the dispensation of magic, knowledge and powers. In this Sphere of influence are found the guardians of Secrets and profound Cosmic Mysteries. The Guardian of Secrets is an ancient title, dating back over 7,000 years ago. The magician’s rank depends on their own skills and experiential knowledge – but first and foremost they are meant to be a guardian of the Sacred Mysteries.
The Head Mercurian Magus is also a Guardian of Secret Mysteries having profound knowledge of the Qabalah and other esoteric teachings which have been revealed only to those who dwell in Heaven’s Grace, or Favor.
The Head Mercurian Magus governs the dispensation of all things pertaining to Magic, whether it be knowledge, abilities or practical applications. In this role, he is often seen as the most knowledgeable person on Earth with regards to Magic. Magi are expected to know the Laws of Divine Order and work with them, as well as be watchful that others do so too.
The magician’s role is to honor the mysteries of the Secret Arts and to pass these secrets on to those who seek this hidden knowledge; beyond that, to honor the Life, Light, Love, and Dignity in all Living Creation.

The Holy Guardian Angel is a manifestation of the True Self; it is the deepest part of one’s true personality and nature. In Hindu it is called the Jivatman.
The removal of all spiritual obstacles, such as guilt and false values, brings about a state of complete harmony between God (the Divine) and oneself. It offers an opportunity to become consciously aware that one has always been in complete union with the Divine all along. In this state, there is perfect happiness and peace because one is in complete alignment with their higher self.
The Holy Guardian Angel is an aspect of the divine which appears before us when we are ready for our next step on the spiritual path, providing guidance along that path through intuition, visions, or symbolic dreams.

The Foolish Man
The Foolish Man is not a single entity, but rather an amalgamation of the thirty-six decans, who are stationed in Heaven in three six-degrees stages and who are respectively allotted to rule over six hours of the day (less than three degrees) on Earth. Together they represent the entire cycle of life. The leader of these decans is “the greatest magician of the Mercurian Sphere; guardian of secret mysteries, science and wisdom.”
The Foolish Man appears at dawn as a youthful man with a beaming countenance and a staff in his right hand. He radiates light and wisdom that illuminates the path for those who follow him. He symbolizes initiation into wisdom by means of renunciation: in order to reach true knowledge one must first be liberated from the teachings, which are in their own way the shackles of prescribed knowledge. This renunciation is, in a sense, an act of affirmation that true freedom is possible only via subjective truth and lived experience. The Fool is often depicted with wings to show his liberation from earthly concerns and worldly matters. By dusk, he has grown old but Wise.

Haaiah
(Bardon): “The twenty-sixth genius of the Shem Ha Mephoresch, is regarded as a protector of justice and he helps the magician in contact with him win any lawsuit if the magician is right. Being a friend of high diplomacy, this genius can help the magician to make a speedy career if he is working in the diplomatic field. The magician also is informed how to gain the favor of very important people, how to gain knowledge and riches, how to encounter his enemies, in order to reveal any treason or secret plans and operations.”

The Justice System is the backbone of any civilized society. Without its presence, lawlessness and chaos will corrupt and undermine community and social coherence. The protector of justice is a person who seeks to uphold the principles of truth, individual sovereignty, dignity and the good of public society. Protectors of justice can be a lawyer, judge or someone that holds a privileged position in a political system. It can also be an advocate, lobbyist, or leader of a grassroots movement. Justice is often upheld through legal advocacy, which includes defending people who have been accused or convicted unjustly, as well as those who cannot afford counsel on their own.
—
It is the duty of a protector of justice to establish and empower the law by initiating rightful engagement with justice, upholding personal rights, and directing influence via statesmanship. The protector of justice is different from a prosecutor in that an advocate seeks to guard the good and true, while a prosecutor seeks guilty verdicts from judges or juries. The quest for justice is a complex one, as it means not just making sure everyone has equal rights, but also that everyone gets what they deserve, both as a deterrent and as a reward.
—
In any established system of socio-political regulation, there will be those who seek to exploit the procedures for selfish gain, increasing their leverage against the general population. Achieving success with this and getting away with it for a time will convince those of usurped privilege to pressure enactment of corrupt legislation for treasonous purposes that entrench their perpetual advantage, becoming unimpeachable thus.
Through the advanced complexities of Truth and Rights in the champion of Justice and the Good of the People, the 26th Intelligence of the 72 Letter God-Name, will expose these dirty secrets and treasonous intentions, sabotaging the hubris of the soulless and undeserving and bringing them down with harshest severity. The 26th Intelligence has the full backing and Authority of the Pillar of Severity, headed by the Aralim Thrones, and He will trample out the vineyards of Babylon with His terrible swift sword. Justice is relevant indeed.
—
This should in no way undermine the excellence of true aristocracy, who serve the good of the people with their influential talents to bring about greatness in the public realm and afford better conditions, greater opportunity and advancement, and overall fairness, safety and wellbeing; building a better world today and for the future.

Jerathel
(Bardon): – “the twenty-seventh genius, can give the magician an excellent talent for learning languages and procure for him the favor of friend and enemy. He lets the magician see in the Akasha-principle what his enemies are planning to do and how he can protect himself against them. For this purpose, the genius entrusts him with various banning formulae. If the magician is a writer, Jerathel can make him a famous man by providing him with an excellent capacity of perception and showing him means and ways to achieve this without difficulty.”

The future has come. It is time to adapt and believe that change is inevitable. If we don’t look at the future, how can we prepare for it? The future is not something that we can avoid. It’s an unknown territory which we have to be curious about in order to find out the secrets and mysteries that lie within. As such, we often want to know what it holds for us.
—
It’s no surprise that the future is one of the most fascinating topics in today’s society. People are always looking for a glimpse into their destiny, while others are trying to learn what the future holds in order to discover lost knowledge, uncover secrets, and position ourselves for optimum success. We want to be present whenever opportunity knocks.
One such tool that can help you explore and predict the future is the Akasha, said to be a repository of all knowledge on Earth or any other celestial body in the Universe. It records all that has been, is being, and will be. Reading from this eternal book will give a person an insight into what life has in store for them and their loved ones, it can also predict events before they happen. We can look into the future, via the Akasha. It has been written that in the Akasha, time holds no sway and all events are revealed to us. The ability to see into the future is one of the most powerful abilities that a person can have. This type of power and strength is only limited by the individual’s imagination.

The future is a field of probabilities that cannot be predicted with 3rd dimensional efficiency, because there are so many of them. But what would happen if we could actually see the future? We might be able to know what our opponents are planning and read their strategies. This would allow us to develop countermeasures and deploy security measures to a higher degree of success.
Strategic foresight is an intelligence discipline that is based on the idea of looking into the future and being able to see things before they happen in order to be prepared for them. It includes accessing all available information streams and data fields, known as omniscient canvassing, in order to identify potential future risks or opportunities and the most appropriate response.
Knowing about our enemies’ strategies and plans, or at least anticipating them, is one of our best weapons in securing our victory. We have to find ways to look into the future and read what’s happening before it happens so that we can thwart any plans against us before they unfold! We are able to see how a conflict might play out with just a few strategic wins at important points in time. Reading into these histories allows us to develop countermeasures against other possible outcomes that could come up during this battle – even if those possible futures are still years away.

Beyond this, the remote viewing Time-Magus is afforded a very powerful and secretive knowledge which is only shared to a few (and won’t be revealed here) which affords the Time Walker protections and security in whatever world his transdimensional Journey might find him.

Seeiah
(Bardon) -“The twenty-eighth genius can inform the magician of powerful formulae by which he can, for instance, cause or stop thunder and lightning, or a terrible thunderstorm, how to cause a fire over the greatest distance or how to stop or localize it, how to destroy completely whole cities and how, on the contrary, to protect towns and houses in war-time, so that they remain untouched. You need never worry about any misuse, since an immature person would never be revealed these secrets. The magician who has taken up contacts with this genius need not be afraid of anything, for he is under special protection.”

Magic warfare is a form of combat that relies on magic to attack and defend. Magic can be used to cause destructive natural occurrences such as lightning, hail and disease. It can also be used to call down the destruction of cities and wipe out entire armies.
Magic warfare as a tactic was mostly employed in ancient wars and battles. There are many accounts of it being used to destroy villages and wipe out an enemy in an instant. Magic like this is no longer exclusive to just the sorcerers of old, but also to those who practice what is known as rogue magic.
Magic has been depicted throughout time as an act of destruction and chaos, with some exceptions such as healing spells that have been depicted in more neutral light in popular culture such as Harry Potter or Avatar. Magic is not a tool for the weak. It has been used for evil purposes since its discovery. Be careful how you use it, or it will be used against you.

Magic is a power that can be used for peaceful and destructive purposes. The protection of cities and castles often relies on magicians to set up wards of protection. The ward protects the area from both physical threats like arrows, or fire and it also guards against magical attacks. But if the magicians go down, then so does the ward.
Magician warriors are people who are adept at both wizardry and swordplay. In times of need, they can use either their magic or their skills with weapons to protect the city or castle that they’re fighting for. The magic that a magician warrior can use is not for large scale battles. Their power is limited and hard to control if they do not have an affinity for the magic that they are using. However, magicians are valuable in protecting cities and castles from harm by setting up the aforementioned wards of protection. They can also be useful in quelling disease, dispersing plagues, putting out fires, and more. Today, enterprising Magicians can help the desperate firefighter put out large fires, such as those currently ravaging global communities due to climate change and planetary warming.
Magic has been used in warfare since the beginning of time. However, it is not always what people think it is. Magic warfare may not always involve direct conflict with spells and incantations, but instead be a way for one side to weaken another by means of stealth or subterfuge. Our Martial 3rd dimensionals have transitioned now into asymmetrical warfare, where a simple phalanx with advanced knowledge can disrupt and collapse an entire nation. While just as effective, this spares the citizens of the death and carnage typified by mechanized warfare, artillery and explosive ordinance. The latter was shown in Crabba to produce artificial elementals that were unplanned and ill-equipped for peacetime service.

Magic of this type was a form of knowledge that was often passed down in the martial arts lineages. The ability to perform magic came from sources and supernatural entities. In some cases, even the gods were said to have given their creatures magic. But the sorcerer was beholden and bound into service of the empowering entity. Success with magical bloodletting came at unbearable costs.
The cost to society and human advancement were unbearable as well. And therefore, by mutual decree, Magic was banned in all civilizations across the world. Magic continued however, just not publicly, because these committed Magi came under special protection and feared no backlash nor repercussion. This angered the political leadership but not much could be done about it. Today, as in the historical past, the slimier politicians will come crawling to the backdoor, seeking magical favors and advantages from Magical Masters. When rebuffed or turned away with warnings, they seek out nefarious means to accomplish their dark deeds. Seeiah is aware of all this and keeps the sinister in check.

Reiiel
(Bardon) – “The twenty-ninth genius of the Mercury sphere. He makes available to the magician great truths, and he makes him understand them completely. Besides this, he informs the magician of the plans of his enemies, no matter whether visible or invisible, and gives him advice how he can protect himself against them, how he can make them change their minds to become his friends. This genius is prepared to reveal to the magician many secrets which up to this date have remained unrevealed. He may also be told by Reiiel about the cosmic orderliness and the correlative effects of its powers.”
—
Needless to say there are many Secrets which I dast not reveal, due to the effects of Cosmic Order. In this case, the concerns are similar but the methods are more, er, psychic? Beyond this, complete understanding of Great Truths is certainly a very worthy cause.
—
Omael
(Bardon) – “The thirtieth genius in this sequence and a great friend of the animal kingdom. He is therefore able to inform the magician of many means which can be successfully applied to cure sick animals. He is also a friend of physicians, especially of gynecologists and surgeons and, if the magician is active in any of these fields, he will be given excellent skill by this genius and, apart from this, will be initiated into occult anatomy and medicine. Omael is also well acquainted with chemistry and alchemy, and the magician may profit a great deal from him in this respect. Omael also gives exact information on pre-natal education. The magician who has got into contact with this genius will never get into distress and grievance. He will always feel the favorable influence of his protector.”

It should come as no surprise that we are all animals and a Magical Alchemist may be just what we need to cure our sickness. The Planet Mercury, it will be remembered, corresponds to the reptilian hindbrain, with all its calculating and worry about territorial dangers. These features need not be disparaged by our recent egocentric forebrain however as they are ancient and full of wisdom, acquired via lived experience on the road to evolutive perfection.
The Musical Tones of Chemical Ether are important to the health of our etheric body and ancient Mercurian knowledge about such things expands our mastery of Occult Anatomy and our abilities at Healing, considerably. A strong and close Mercurian connection to the nurturing limbic system of Cytherea, calms the jittery animal, who in modern times can become uneasy due to the stress and environmental noise, thereby suffering the modern psychoses of Anxiety and Depression. Beyond that, the veterinarian pharmacopeia is considerably less expensive than human prescriptions, if you have a knowledgeable guide to help you find them.
