In the Kabbalistic Cross and LBRP (from the Golden Dawn rite), the words are:

Thou art the power and the kingdom and the glory forever.

In the Calyx (from the Aurum Solis rite), the words are:

Thou art the power and the kingdom and the majesty forever.

alt translation: Thou art the power and the kingdom and the glory forever unto the ages.



Okay:

In both cases: what/who exactly is being addressed?

i.e. What/who is the thou?

I have found this to be a changing of definitions of thou depending upon whose sandbox I am playing in when I begin building this castle of Self:

1.) JudeoChristian types lean to "God the Father"/JHVH possibly even Andonai Elohim for a little more soft and cuddly version of Daddy (sorry for offending Qabbalists for my user paraphrasing, but come on...you know I'm right (IMG:style_emoticons/default/harp.gif))

2.) Thelemic and Chaotic folks lean toward your thou as self. Being the Higher Self, Personal God Head, the starting point of your stardust initiated from the initial starting Big Bang.

3.) Alchemical, Qabalistic, may be some rogue Old type Masons, and independent magical folks use the thou of primordial materia which is the Source with all the other two connotations sprouting and intended within this idea while going back even further. I use this thou when specificly doing Great Work energy as an alchemist.

When playing with others I use there ideas of the above to help blend the energies. Privately I am a 'need' magician. So I use the above ideas, mix them as necessary and add many of my own ideas such as my own God head working in the various 10 or more realities in various combinations to create what I desire. This is how I do Qabbalistic Tree work for example. By calling the various thous of various realms/realities I get...interesting...combinations...for manipulating my manifestations of Life.

Blessings,
Hooded Manus
