The enigmatic compilation, On the Powers of the Sphinx , is now available on CD format.
The allegory of the Sphinx points to Man. Both are composed of the four
Elements, but in Man they exist in different proportions and are
unbalanced, while in the Sphinx the Elements are harmonious and
synergistic. The Sphinx represents the perfected Man, the Magus. The
Four Powers of the Sphinx are "the four words of the Magus," the "four
indispensable conditions" which bring Man to the state of perfection and
balance.
The Aural journey is taken forth in logical sequence by Saturnalia
Temple, Nightbringer, Nihil Nocturne & Aluk Todolo, each of whom
heralds their respective Power with commensurate gnosis.
“To learn how to will is to learn how to exercise dominion. But to be
able to exert will power you must first know; for will power applied to
folly is madness, death, and hell.” (Lévi)
