Bald...See Balder's response.* In reply I said:<br /><br />Balder's comments to (c) above remind me of Golden Dawn 'worship,' since I'm on that kick today. In the outer order Temple set-ups a person through various initiations gets to assume a particular deity for ceremonies. One makes the rounds of these god-forms depending on the degree of initiation, up to the apparent head of outer order rituals, the hierophant. The later is considered the central officer-deity in presiding over the lesser officer-deities for outer order work. But even in the outer order rituals this head is guided by inner order officer-deities, which may or not have personal representation on the dais. So like Balder's comments one makes the rounds of a variety of deities to see how they work together.<br /><br />Granted the rituals themselves might be considered a particular supertheory or grand narrative in that it is the Golden Dawn egregore. And yet with that GD narrative there have sprung up a plethora of variations with different emphases on ritual, theory, practice and dogma. Even to the point that some claim the 'true' lineage and are the 'right' one. All of which is the main problem with having one paradigm as the model for all others. Same with one god/dess. Same problem, different app.<br /><br />* http://integralpostmetaphysics.ning.com/forum/topics/layman-pascal-s-rules-of-meta-theory?commentId=5301756%3AComment%3A54504Edward Bergehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13864657929019204993noreply@blogger.com
