Elaboration per the best of my ability: For some reason (apparently the linkage between kalas and qliphotic names) I got the impression that the two were different somehow, that there may be 'Qliphot of the Tunnel/Kala' rather than that the Qliphot and Tunnel/Kala are in some way identical. I haven't read Grant for a while now so could not substantiate this presently. I may have to piece through Grant's Eden again at some point. In any case, that is the reason that some of the names may be misplaced in the first five kala I did. I had 'Qliphoth:' usually defined as '?????', and tunnel/kala names as I understood them. |>I have a list of the Qliphoth that goes along |>with the Demons/Genii (in CCXXXI), but some of it is written in Greek, so |>I'm slightly disadvantaged here. | |We can probbly work with that some. Do you know the document of which I speak? I have a feeling it is in the Equinox, and I doubt that translated into a scanner well. I haven't been back to it for a while. Looks like a Temple Reformation is being called. :> |>Can anyone provide a list of the Qliphoth proper? I think I've only |>come up with a source for the post-Qliphotic 'paths', rather than the |>attributions for the primary 10. |Wasn't this done in a previous documents? Yes, I understand that to be the case now. Not sure what I was thinking previously. Part One covered at least the popular GD according the sources mentioned for the Kleppah of the Numbers. Did Grant accept these wholly? Or does he provide an alternative in one of his works? |DId you get a response when you posted this anywhere? I'm sure that Therion/Aligator Descartes would be interested in this project also, and if you like we could involve him. Depends on whether you think it necessary. He could be a review editor after the main work was done. Wot say? There may be others (Sean McNair, for example). I have no requirements as to involvement.
