SILVER STAR JOURNAL
INTRODUCTION &  INFORMATION



"Every man and every woman is a star."

- Liber AL vel Legis. I. 3

SILVER STAR 11

 Introduction


In the exhausted glow of a chaos of artweaving sparkling, I sit bemused.
Wow, 5 years. No, that isn't right, it has been
5.5
years that I have been editing Silverstar, since we began this wild magickal experiment-
The concept: If we open that vortex, the mutant artist adepts and fellow travellers will come
O and come you did!
Ganas! Devis and Devas! Rakasha and Imps! Satyrs and Bacchantes and Dryads and- all of you!
You look marvelous!
Here is a big huge glass of bubbling wine that foams to you!  Salute!
A toast to the amazing taspestry participants that has made every issue of Silverstar  an amazing kallidoscope of the current state of the ART
- that is, the ART MAGICK
What fun!
How unique and odd and tragic and glowing and joyful we are- each a completely different gem of Gnosis, expressing him/herself to
 brothers/sisters:
The Tribe of Magickians, Shamans, Witches, Adepts, Erisians...choose a mask .....on and on....
We are infinite variety and very good company at a party.
It has been real- and real fun- and a bastard at times:
Have I told you what a bunch of prissy self indulgent prima-donnas 
artists, poets and writers can be-?
Not you of course, you were one of the good ones...

But I digress: 5.5 years

55 = DEVIL....and DNA....and is the mystic number of...

Malkuth

DING !

And here we are - gound floor. All existance, the 10000 things, Shambala and  ...(door shuts)


...


Hmm...but wait....our visions,
our Great Work
Our ART
pass through the barriors of concept
smashing the boxes and grids and templates
and we are free free free - Stars in Space
 and THROUGH the world of illusion and reality-
for we project and reify our realities as we glide
and so we move into and through the whole tree
the whole galaxy
that which goes beyond Maya
the Veil
The Abyss...

that shining, perfect, Awareness we call

The Silver Star




And so the 11th Issue of Silverstar begins
A major Shift-
and I know you'll love the ride-

This will be the last time I steer this ship, but Ill always be a member of the crew!

I now pass off  SILVERSTAR to one of our feature writers and a true brother,
I place this amazing magickal child  into his capable and no doubt much wiser hands

- to Shade Oroboros!
Give him a big round of applause!

All future everything concerning the Journal should be sent to him:

robertcarey12@gmail.com

These past 11 issues, including this one, will form VOLUME 1

(There will be a CD of this)

The next issue will begin VOLUME 2

Please give him the kinds of art, poetry, invocations, essays, stories and....attitude!...you have given to me over the last 5.5.!

 I love you all, you wild blazing stars!

Have fun  & see you a round

One Star in Sight...

Love & Will

OUR MANIFESTO:

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.
 

WHAT:

This unique Journal of Magick is totally eclectic, with a focus on serious practical and theoretical essays, fiction, rituals, art and poetry that all express The High Art: those countless aspects of magick and the alchemy of the 'Great Work'. The material herein is primarily in, although not limited to, the realm of Thelema. This means operating on the principle of love under will. Other terms such as Tantrik, Shamanic, Chaotic, Wiccan and so on may also apply. The Will to Love is the Law to Live. In the end, Silver Star is what our contributors and readers choose to make of it.

WHO:

While being in a sense a magickal child of The Horus/Maat Lodge, Silver Star
is not limited in any way to being a 'house organ' for the Lodge. Silver Star seeks to provide an open source and forum for all serious Adepts who will to share with their Brothers and Sisters the work of the Art Magick. A closed system dies. We seek to help inspire the metaphysical knowledge of the New Gnosis as an open system. Our simple goal: The magickal evolution of humanity.

HOW:

 You send us wonders and we will help spread them. Omnia Veritas (everything is true) . If you like what you see here, then we want your work as well. All arcane materials are acceptable from all types of open-minded people, belonging to any and all (or absolutely no) orders, lodges, circles and so on. Sincerity, scholarship, and creativity are our desired qualities. Silver Star seeks to represent the widest possible spectrum of Magick and its practice as it is evolving now. Most disciplines have a Journal that transcends politics and becomes a serious forum for the whole community, a free space where ideas and knowledge can be shared. This is ours.

WHY:

Because we can. Many of us marvel at the current proliferation of magick everywhere. Who has not witnessed the fertile chaos of these uncertain times? Who has not found the tools and information necessary to create conscious change in abundant supply? Cyberspace and the tools thereof provide powerful tools to effect change with Will. We to Evolve. Each one of us now lives in a world where critical choices must be made. As the old song goes: "And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make." We are united in one simple ideal: Love IS the Law. Do you truly know how much your heart weighs?

WHERE:

HERE and NOW! This is all that matters. We are scattered about the globe, a beautiful 'net of stars', yet in this magick circle of cyberspace we are together. Let us gather in love and will to share our visions and affirm our unity. This is a time of great changes: a new conscious is rising phoenix-like from the ashes of a restrictive age. Let it take flight here.

If you are Asatru, Buddhist, Chaote, Druid, Enochian, Faerie, Gnostic, Heretic, Illuminati, Jungian, Kali-worshipping, Lovecraftian, Maatian, Nordic, OTO, Pagan, Qabalist, Rosicrucian, Shaman, Taoist, Unitarian, Voudon, Wiccan, Xenophile, Yezidic, Zoroastrian, or something completely different, Silver Star is your e-zine. The editors gratefully acknowledge the many contributions that have been made to this issue.  We hope that you, our readers, will find connections with the magickal experiences presently assembled before you.
