Isis Aphophis Osiris
This is the main part of the banishing ritual of the hexagram.

A long time i have done the ritual in a wrongful way.
I always felt against aphophis, saw the ritual as a celebration of Osiris overcoming Aphophis.

This i feel now is a wrong point of view.

Aphophis his part is almost the most important one in the trinity.
Without the death of Osiris there is no way to resurrect him. The death caused by aphophis gives rise to the searching by isis and the rebirth of Osiris.

So these days when i do the ritual, i have deep respect for Aphophis part in the trinity, and this knowledge has improved my ritual greatly.

Just something i thought i'd share.

Yes, my point exactly.

Fallen leaves provide food for insects. The decaying humus nourishes the tree in the next year. The leaves cannot nourish before they decay, and they cannot decay before they fall. When the tree in its totality falls it becomes food for the next tree.
A wolf kills wildlife for its dinner. The death of the other is the life of another.

A magician should take note of the natural course of things.
Without death and decay there is no chance for new life, or for nourishment of existing life.

This is not a hymn to death and decay. Its a careful observation that the importance of Aphophis is not lesser than the importance of Osiris or Isis.
They are all 3 equally important, take one away and the trinity falls apart.
Without Aphophis Osiris can never be reborn.

That is the balance Sandalphon spoke of, The crucial balance, it is an important thing to be aware of.

It may be already obvious to all of you, but i thought I'd share this thought, delusion, insight with those that might find it interesting or amusing.
