CHAPTER 6:

USE AND DEVELOPMENT OF POLARITY IN THE LODGE

The understanding and use of polarity in a magical group or lodge is very important to the long-term health and stability of the inner and outer magical line. The balance of power between the people, the beings, and the lodge dynamics are very important, as without that balance one form of power begins to dominate the magic, which in time degenerates it or can even destroy it.

When polarity is talked about in a magical context, most people think about the priest and priestess, the male female polarity, which brings the magic into balance. Yes, that is terribly important in a lodge, but it is not the only form of polarity that needs to be in balance.

When you construct an inner temple and bring through a consecrated line, the chances are that the powers used will have been of one realm or inner direction. For example the methods in this book that relate to the construction of the line, inner temple, and egregore all use angelic powers, Abyss Divinity and inner elements. These are all very powerful streams of consciousness and are all one type of unconditional inner power. That is offset to some extent in practical terms by the human elements within the magical lodge and the fact that the lodge is an outer physical expression of the inner temple, which anchors it and gives it ballast. But the sheer level of inner power that is used when creating such structures needs a great deal of anchoring and counter balance within the outer temple.

This can be achieved by working in the outer temple with some deep conditional beings, some of which would be defined as demonic in today’s world. By rooting the physical temple in the depths of the underworld through repeated underworld visionary work the lodge can achieve a balance of power. This coupled with a balanced polarity within the working group will help to sustain the balance of power within the lodge for generations to come.
