Pulsating compass beneath my skin,
Show us red earths long lost within
Vistas of organs from liver to fin
If torn, come quivers, knowledge it bring
The crows laugh watching my serpent form
With our loyalty sworn, become our skin
As we question deeper into the land of sin
The land of digestion, may it taste us

the assumption of godform ritual is motivated partly by this post (https://archive.4plebs.org/x/thread/40073170/#40092256) which talks about the need for a “based schizo prophet”. indeed what the ishtar guys lack is coherent social organization. its often just loose ideas without a coherent body of practices believers can adopt or social events to encourage community participation, group purpose and identity. another inspiration comes from kenneth grant’s remark on crowley’s use of the god assumption ritual. for grant, this is what allowed him to open up a connection to aiwass

>Among other things, the Golden Dawn taught a technique for acquiring mastery of the astral plane, during which the projected astral body of the magician was identified with an Egyptian god-form. When practising the assumption of a god-form, Perdurabo (i.e. Crowley) chose the form of Horns, one of the oldest deities known to man. He sealed the plasm of his astral body in the mentally formulated image of a golden hawk (a vehicle of Horus) and, in that form, he explored the subtle aethyrs of the universe.
>By repeatedly assuming the god-form of Horus, Crowley attuned his consciousness to the vibrations emanating from the sphere of that complex of cosmic power. In this way he prepared himself to receive The Book of the Law, technically entitled Liber AL vel Legis. This book will be referred to hereafter simply as AL.
tantric yoga often involves uniting with or embodying a god too.
