>When using the term Draconian Magic the focus is on the utilization of the draconian force. The Draconian force is seen as twofold, consisting of the “inner dragon and the “outer dragon”. The Inner Dragon is identified as the innate life-force in man, the Kundalini, to borrow the terminology of Hindu Tantrism – as is frequently done in Dragon Rouge. The Outer Dragon is the overall universal life-force or energy immanent in every aspect of nature, linking everything together. An alternative term to outer dragon employed in Dragon Rouge is Vril, a term used by occultists such as H. P. Blavatsky and Sir Edward Bulwer-Lytton (Blavatsky 1895: 651; Bulwer-Lytton 1886). The inner and outer dragons are linked, so that each is an aspect of the other, neither of them existing in isolation from the other

>The great dragon of chaos—the uroboros, the selfdevouring serpent—might be conceptualized as pure (latent) information, before it is parsed into the world of the familiar, the unfamiliar, and the experiencing subject
>The bivalent Great Mother (second and third characters) is creation and destruction, simultaneously—the source of all new things, the benevolent bearer and lover of the hero; the destructive forces of the unknown, the source of fear itself, constantly conspiring to destroy life
>Crowley’s goal was to become one with god as the manifest, or Kether. Grant’s was to explore the non-manifest and as such, aimed for Da’ath. Da’ath is often spoken of but rarely elucidated upon. The clearest explanation I’ve found has been written by Jake Stratton Kent in his Liber 187: The Serpent Tongue. Referred to as the 11th Sephira (the number of Nuit) and called a false Sephira, Da’ath is named “Knowledge”, and it sits above the abyss like the apex of a pyramid, whose base is the Supernal Triad. Da’ath refers to the seemingly automatic process of assigning language to form. In other words, when a human sees an object they will automatically call it something, even if that literally is “something”. Grant wanted to get to the place that no language could describe, the place which is described in Liber CDXVIII during the call of the XIth Aethyr, wherein the angel states:
>“Behold! It entereth not into the heart, nor into the mind of man, to conceive this matter; for the sickness of the body is death, & the sickness of the heart is despair, & the sickness of the mind is madness. But in the outermost Abyss is sickness of the aspiration, & sickness of the will, & sickness of the essence of all, & there is neither word nor thought wherein the image is reflected. And whoso passeth into the outermost Abyss, except he be of them that understand, holdeth out his hands, & boweth his neck, unto the chains of Choronzon. And as a devil he walketh about the earth, immortal, & he blasteth the flowers of the earth, & he maketh poisonous the water; & the fire that is the friend of man, & the pledge of his aspiration, seeing that it mounteth ever upward as a Pyramid, & seeing that man stole it in a hollow tube from Heaven, even that fire he turneth into ruin, & madness, & fever, & destruction. And thou, that art an heap of dry dust in the City of Pyramids, must understand these things. And now a thing happens, which is unfortunately sheer nonsense, for the Aethyr that is the foundation of the universe was attacked by the Outermost Abyss, and the only way that I can express it, is by saying the universe was shaken. But the universe was not shaken. And that is the exact truth; so that the rational mind which is interpreting these spiritual things is offended; but being trained to obey, it setteth down that which it doth not understand. For the rational mind indeed reasoneth, but never attaineth unto Understanding; but the Seer is of them that understand.”
>Feminine symbolism is fundamental in all forms of spirituality defined as Left Hand Path. The Vama Marga, the ‘perverse path’ or ‘unfriendly way’ (Gupta 1981: 195), school of Tantrism is in some legends said to have been instigated by a low-caste woman, something quite unusual in the Indian male-dominated spiritual milieu
>"What inspires respect for woman, and often enough even fear, is her nature, which is more “natural” than man's, the genuine, cunning suppleness of a beast of prey, the tiger's claw under the glove, the naiveté of her egoism, her uneducatability and inner wildness, the incomprehensibility, scope, and movement of her desires and virtues." (Beyond Good and Evil, section 239.)
