Liber Falxifer II - The Book of Anamlaqayin - Review
"If you call upon the Gods and they answer, who is there to oppose or to challenge the integrity of your Path?"
- Andrew Chumbley; Azoetia
"Liber Falxifer II opens with a Gnostic discourse that explains the theology underlying the veneration of Qayin and Qalmana as held sacred in T.F.C. and gives a good insight into the Gnostic dimensions of this 'Satanic Luciferianism' that lies as the instigator of this mystery expounded upon in this Necrosophic grammar.
The Gnostic cosmology presented is one building on Marcion and Zarathustra, hence we find the presence of a double substance defying one another present in the cosmology that builds itself upon two pillars, black and white where the battle between spirit and matter plays itself out in relation to the dark light of Sitra Ahra and its otherness and the blindness of the Demiurgos. Here a unique vision of the first murder and its purpose takes shape and paves way for the Necrosophic gnosis at the heart of the Falxifer Cult, as written:
"The intruding powers from the Sitra Ahra are the ones brought into this world through Our Master Qayin's and Our Lady Qalmana's first acts of blood sacrifice, which stained red the green and opened up the jaws of the parched earth and connected the first tombs to the unlocked gate of the Nahemothic realm." (p.: 123)
There are naturally many ways of interpreting apocryphical and inspired legends and myths and I can't help but seeing this book as a personal revelation of mysteries Andrew Chumbley spoke of in Azoetia in the discussions of the power house of Sah and the 15th sacred letter, where the enchantments of Orion and Necromancy is detailed. Chumbley wrote in the introduction to the Sethos edition of his Dream Grammar: "Traditions change from person to person and from age to age, adapting as is needed or as inspired… its power lies in its own time, in neither past nor future, but perpetually in and of the moment… As time passes so does the self consciousness of the lineage; it becomes wise to its own alchymic transformations."
It is as such in this succession of thought and inspiration I find this book, as a call of a particular set of sorcerous letters finding their own transmutation and path in the vision of N.A-A.218.
Controversy abounds when it comes to defining Lord Qayin and what he is and what he gave. Even the mark is subject to controversy. Was it a horn, a wart, an infirmity of the body, a facial glow, a physical sign on his body, a crown of thorns - or something more subtle in its alchemical resolution? The glow is emphasized in Liber Falxifer II, as the mark being the kernel of light residing in this inspirited blood of Qayin and his sister Qalmana. One Medieval commentary in one of the many Adam-books flourishing in North Europe in the 16th Century tells us that Qayins' mark was the 'shaking of the Yew'. A comment I find quite stunning given the fact that this book has taken the Alder tree and the field of Roses as its genius. We might see the book as 'the shaking of the Alder tree' - and thus from this it's massive exposition of Qayin and his sister-spouse as the flame within the 'Black in the Green'. From this point of ingress a sorcerous world of wood and night is opened through tinctures, rosaries and spell craft.
The book takes as its truth that the first murder was the deed that enabled the return and continuation of the light of truth hidden within the darkness of Sitra Ahra, 'the Other Side'. Lord Qayin, apostate, murder, accursed, exiled, vilified and beastified progenitor of the accursed race, by soul, blood or call is here given the form and image of the reaper. A fitting image for the Necrosophic gnosis expounded upon in the book. As a consequence of the murder of Abel, the earth became fertile with his blood. Hence Abel became both graveyard and its guardian. Qayin and his sister-wife became wanderers and builders of cities and through this they kept the light of spirit alive in the world of clay and matter. The purpose is stated to be the following:
"…even though Qayin and Qalmana in essence are One in Sitra Ahra, their manifestations upon the earth will continue to take the individual forms of their distinct and divided aspects. We will therefore not experience Their Unity, until we ourselves have become united with Them, through the death of the clay-born ego and the Daath of the Spirit-Self." (p.: 471)
There are naturally many gateways to this fundamental mystery depending on context and what form of exegesis we understand this legacy upon. And so it is important to emphasize that the vision presented in this Book reveals a particular mystery, like a select assembly of letters in the alphabet of Qayin…
Lord Qayin as the exiled one, the one who challenge God constantly, the Scythe bearer shows his shade in Saturn and Mars, a bond that sets the earth on fire constantly. In this form he calls upon the denizens of Night and Greenwood to summon the dead and revenants to yet again walk the points of telluric power upheld by the spiritual warrior. In this lies the name, Falxifer - deviated from one of Saturn's names, Falcifer, but here altered in its necromantic crossroad of possibilities. And it is in this I find a great value in this book, as it is written:
"Innumerable shades and spirits of the Mighty Ones belonging to our Holy Bloodline are venerated and communed with in order to create connections to and receive guidance from those Blessed Ones that have walked the path before us" (p.: 385)
This intense focus on spiritual ancestry and how this is worked in the Greenwood continues a mystery of Death and Becoming that is of crucial for the practicing sorcerer and in the words of this book, will lead you to the mysteries of the form of Anamlaqayin - which is what reveals itself in the mystical marriage of Qayin and Qalmana.
I think - and in many ways hope - that this book will be constantly subject for controversy, because of its astute and singular Necrosophic focus. I see in this a will of Death to yet again walk and speak. This is the book of Qayin in the guise of outlaw and murderous god who sings the beauty of the most harsh of Gods beautiful names,
it be reaper, murderer or punisher. This is the book of Qalmana and her blood roses - it is a book speaking of their
nostalgic longing for union in the form of Anamlaqayin."
