Now that certain esoteric aspects of the 218 Current have been disclosed and others are planned to be revealed in future publications of the TOTBL, we can briefly touch upon a previously hidden form of the fetishistic cultivation of the forces of the kliffotic spheres within the alchemical work of 218.
The form in question is the 'Kelim Fetishes of the Kliffot'. These special fetishes are consecrated vessels filled with links to the kliffotic sphere each one is meant to collect or channel essence from. These vessels are often in the shape of hollow statues, cauldrons, vases or bowls, and contain many esoteric elements that have ritually or 'naturally' become connected to the Nightside force that is relevant to each one. Through the Great Work, these links become transubstantiated into 'One Point of Sympathy' via a concrete concentration of kliffotic energy.
This form of fetishism has as its aim to create actual points of entrance to and from the Sitra Ahra. Their creation can not start until a very solid knowledge of the actual nature of the kliffa in question has been gained through traditional initiatory work and direct contact with its ruler. The construction and full manifestation of these Kelim fetishes can therefore take many years.
Many times, the tokens and magical objects of each kliffotic ruler’s altar become the seeds of power later planted into a Kelim. The Kelim, in its final stage, becomes a focused point of power belonging to the kliffotic sphere it embodies. Simultaneously, it represents, in a very concrete fashion, the level of gnosis and empowerment that the initiate has accumulated through his/her work.
The first Kelim of our tradition is that of Naamah. This Fetish Vessel is often constructed within an unglazed terracotta bowl that has been ritually cleansed and dedicated to the Great Work of Nahemoth. A suitable offering is given in the name of 'the Pleasant One' and the blood of the offering is mixed with a Magical Ink of Naamah.
This empowered ink is then used to mark all the relevant sigils, symbols and formulas of Nahema upon the outside and inside of the vessel. The marked but still empty fetish vessel is later kept upon the altar as a symbol for the will to become satiated with the emanations of Nahemoth.
When enough knowledge of, and links to, the Black Earth have been gathered and the license to proceed with the work has been gained directly from the kliffotic ruler (in this case, Naamah) they are, at a crucial, often liminal, point in time, sown into the holy vessel and, through the gnosis that has been received thus far, transformed into the 'One Point of Sympathy'.
The actual contents of each vessel can differ somewhat from one initiate to another, but certain essential elements will always remain the same as long as the same spiritual Current is channelled. Among these elements are talismans marked with certain sigils and spells, metals consecrated and enlinked with the relevant energy current, stones and crystals that correspond to the sphere in question, soil ritually obtained from different places of power somehow connected to the sphere in question, herbs and plant parts possessing the esoteric daemonic vibration of the kliffa, organic matter obtained through different forms of 'rites of giving and receiving', and many more such elements and sorcerous links.
In the traditional form of the Kelim of Naamah the terracotta bowl is filled with soil and other magical powders, into which the many different esoteric elements have been 'planted' or buried. The Kelim is topped with a consecrated skull of a black dog, and on top of the skull is placed an inscribed and dressed black candle which is lit in order to activate the powers of the Kelim.
Such a Kelim becomes an actual living Point of Power and must be handled with great care and requires to be fed with suitable offerings that are in harmony with its own nature and power.
The Kelim fetish has its obvious uses as an empowering tool of kliffotic sorcery, but it is also a point of intrusion for the forces of the Outside, through which both the microcosmic and the macrocosmic Atazoth process is facilitated.
The shattering and overflowing of the Eleven Kliffotic Kelims is the same as the breaking of the Eleven Seals of Liberation and the turning of the Eleven Keys of Sitra Ahra, which is the final initiatic goal of the anti-cosmic Adept, leading to the glorious Azothan phase of the Chaosophic Alchemy.
