It means that my answer will depend on how you define ritual and magic.

 

In the past, I think, I've seen you use a very broad definition.

If you would like me to answer, please be specific.

 

Define ritual.

Define magic.

 

Or, if that's too much work, you can try to convince me that you will listen and not misrepresent my words.

When you use Hebrew... it's often wrong.  The grammar looks obscure, because you don't know it.

[Nungali]

Regardless  , I will still fill up the page with my obscure Hebrew grammar  if you don't define define .

And now, shall reveal the innermost secret hidden in nursery rhymes ! 

 

Old Mother Hubbard
Went to her cupboard
To get her poor dog a bone;
When she got there,
The cupboard was bare,
And so the poor dog had none.

Who is this ancient and venerable mother of whom it is spoken?

She , Verily is none other than Binah, as is evident in the use of the holy letter H with which her name begins.

Nor is she the sterile Mother Ama—but the fertile Aima; for within  her she bears Vau, the son, for the second letter of her name, and R,
the penultimate, is the Sun, Tiphereth, the Son. The other three letters of her name, B, A, and D, are the three paths which join the three supernals.

To what cupboard did she go? Even to the most secret caverns of the Universe. And who s this 'dog'  Is it not the name of God spelt Qabalistically backwards? And what is this bone? This bone is the Wand, the holy Lingam!

The complete interpretation of the rune is now open. This rime is the legend of the murder of Osiris by Typhon. The limbs of Osiris were scattered in the Nile. Isis sought them in every corner of the Universe, and she found except his sacred lingam, which was not found until quite recently
 

 

Little Bo Peep,
She lost her sheep,
And couldn’t tell where to find them.
Leave them alone!
And they’ll come home,
Dragging their tails behind them.

 

Bo" is the root meaning Light, from which spring such words as Bo-tree, Bodhisattva, and Buddha. And “Peep” is Apep, the serpent Apophis. This poem therefore contains the same symbol that in the Egyptian and Hebrew Bibles. The snake is the serpent of initiation , the lamb is the Saviour . This ancient one, the Wisdom of Eternity, sits in its old anguish awaiting the Redeemer. And this holy verse triumphantly assures us that there is no need for anxiety. The Saviours will come one after the The Saviours will come one after the
other, at their own good pleasure, and as they may be needed, and drag
their tails, that is to say those who follow out their holy commandment,
to the ultimate goal.
 

 

Little Miss Muffett
Sat on a tuffet,
Eating her curds and whey,
Up came a big spider,
And sat down beside her,
And frightened Miss Muffett away.

 

Little Miss Muffett unquestionably represents Malkah; for she is unmarried. She is seated upon a “‘tuffet”; zd es¢, she is the unregen-
erate soul upon Tophet, the pit of hell. And she eats curds and whey, that is, not the pure milk of the mother, but milk which has undergone decomposition.

 

But who is the spider? Verily herein is a venerable arcanum connoted! Like all insects, the spider represents a demon. But why a
this spider ‘‘ who taketh hold with her hands the  King’s Palaces ”? The name of this spider is Death. It is the fear of death that
makes the soul aware of its forlorn condition. It would be interesting for us if tradition had preserved for us Miss Muffett’s
subsequent adventures.

 

Little Jack Horner
Sat in a corner,
Eating a Christmas pie.
He stuck in his thumb,
And pulled out a plum,
And said: ** What a good boy am
I!

 

In the interpretation of this remarkable poem there is a difference between two great schools of Adepts.
One holds that Jack 1s merely a corruption of John, Ion, he who goes Hermes, the Messenger. The other prefers to take Jack simply and reverently as Iacchus, the spiritual form of Bacchus. But it does not matter very much whether we insist upon the swiftness or the rapture of the Holy Spirit of God; and that it is He of whom it is here spoken is evident, for the name Horner could be applied to none other by even the most casual reader of the Holy Gospels and the works of Congreve. And the context makes this even clearer, for he sits in a corner, that is in the place of Christ, the Corner Stone, eating, that is, enjoying, that which the birth of Christ assures to us. He is the Comforter who places the absent Saviour. If there was still any doubt of His identity it would be cleared up by the fact that it is the thumb, which is attributed to the element of Spirit, and not one of the four fingers of the four lesser elements, which he sticks into the pie of the new dispensation. He plucks forth one who ripe, no doubt to send him forth as a teacher into the world, and rejoices that he is so well carrying out the will of the Father.
 

 

Here is one for you tantrics ! 

 

Hickory, dickory, dock!
The mouse ran up the clock;
The clock struck one,
And the mouse ran down,
Hickory, dickory, dock

 

Here we are on higher ground at once. The clock symbolizes the spinal column, or, if you prefer it, Time, chosen as one of  the conditions of normal consciousness. The mouse is the Ego; ‘‘ 47u5," a mouse, being only Sum, “I am,” spelt Qabalistically backwards.
This Ego or Prana or Kundalini force being driven up the spine, the clock strikes one, that is, the duality of consciousness is abolished. And the force again subsides its original level.
‘‘
Hickory, dickory, dock!” is perhaps merely the mantra which was used by the Adept who constructed this rime, thereby hoping to fix it in the minds of men, so that they might attain to Samadhi by the same method. Others attribute to it a more profound significance—which is impossible to go into at this moment, .

 

Taffy was a Welshman,
Taffy was a thief;
Taffy came to my house
And stole a leg of beef.
I went to Taffy’s house;
Taffy was in bed.
I took a carving knife,
And cut off Taffy’s head.

Taffy is merely short for Taphtatharath, the Spirit of Mercury and the God of Welshmen or thieves. '* My house" of course equivalent
to * my magick circle.^ Note that Beth, the letter of Mercury and “ ‘The Magus,” means ‘‘a house.” The beef is the symbol of the Bull, Apis the Redeemer. This is therefore that which is written: Oh my God, disguise thy glory! Come as a thief, and let us steal away the sacraments!” In the following verse we find that Taffy is *1n bed,” owing to the operation of the sacrament. The great task of the Alchemist has been accomplished; the mercury is fixed. One can then take the Holy Dagger, and separate the Caput Mortuum
from the Elixir. Some Alchemists believe that the beef represents dense physical substance which is imbibed by Mercury for his fixation;  but here as always we should prefer the more spiritual interpretation.
