    swrr20%6 Earthing The Tunnels OF Set Earthing The Tunnels of Set © Linda Falorio 1989 [An account of Magickal Workings undertaken from July 1983 through February 1988, besed upon Nightside of Eden, by Kenneth Grant, and upon Liber CCXXXL, "The Genii of the 22 Scales of the Serpent and of the Qliphoth," by Aleister Crowley. Incense of Abrametin bllowed from the brazier in thick ropes of pungent smoke, creating of our simple hill top camp in the wilderness of central Ohio the precinct of an ancient temple, deepening the night with a familiar aura of sacredness, Lightning flashed on the near horizon. Howling, drumming, chanting from the distant bonfire crifted to us, evaked that strangely chthonic, highly charged emotional atmosphere so characteristic of Lammas -- Feast of Set -- celebration of the heliacal rising ofthe Dog: ar Sothis- Sirus ‘The rite to be performed by candlelight within the confines of this our temple was designed to ride upon these waves of force, to catch the shrieking currents raised in smoke and flame, in pouring, sooted sweat and breathless dancing; to propel us into strange dimensions, and catalyze our Wills. Anxiety, the rising nervous expectation that always heralds the imminence of those extra-dimensional forces we would that night invoke, and the ultimate power of our magick, signaled our Beginning the elaborate web of tantra, woven of sauls, lives, bodies, ‘and raw energy of flesh and mind-stuf. At that point of ecstasy which rides the very edge of consciousness, like reckless clif-divers, we flung ourselves into those nether-cimensions where there are no paths, but only gateways; our souls propelled into a viscous darkness in which we found ourselves embedded, and through which flowed to us all images, all emotions, all things existent that had ever been or might ‘come to be in some far and unknown Future ‘Thus we began our exploration/ reification of the Sethian Tunnels, that dark repository of primordial Instincts, of rost primitive atavisms, of alien awarenesses, and strange adumbrations of far future selves. Filled with teror, filed with power, ths Is our fearful birth right. Unacknowledged and unclaimed, it is yet full of lethal fascination, for in backward turning ever lies the possibilty of becoming “other” — more than hurnan, We thvew ourselves into exploration of the Nightside of consciousness, eager to experience the backside of the Tree of Life, to crawl into ‘those interdimensional wormholes that undermine prasalc Oayside realty, The Tunnels of Set: "a network of dream cells Inthe subconscious mind," reached by projecting consciousness through Daéth, "the gateway of the manifestation of non-manifestation’ (Kenneth Grant, Nahiside of Eden), Dasth, false Sephire, throat chakra, connected weirdly to the "lower throat” — phallus/kteis — glyphed by Yesod. In our subsequent workings, ths identity - polarity returned again and yet again to our awerenesses, assuming considerable importance in the efficacy of our tantres. LLeapers together of the nether regions of the Tree, we would agree by gut reaction on which Tunnel to explore. Sona N'yl would then begin to paint the Tunne!'s yantra. Arctor would vibrate its mantra aver and over within his mind inthe joined ecstasy of tantra, And we waited for the power ough, surrendering ege-control to an inherent, inescapable factor of unpredictability. Some Tunnels came through lke lightning, others had to be coddled and coaxed. Polaites were reversed, $0 that while Sona Nyl qabalized and read like mad, Arctor patiently allowed himself to become the vehide of magnetizing ané earthing the force. Tantra was practiced on all possible levels. Each thought, act, event, image, emotion, person, situation presented to awareness, whether spiritual or mundane, global or highly personal, became part of that tunnel’ hell broth ‘We found it necessary to acquire a house to give arivacy and clear access to earth energies, and access to the stars — a house which later revealed itself it to be a launching point for iterstallar/trans-
