As we begin to work with the Qliphoth, we open ourselves to the wisdom they have. This is the process of initiation, but in the case of the Qliphoth, it is a different kind of initiation. Each one of the Qliphoth have different nightside lessons to teach us, and by understanding how they convey messages, we realize how these individual initiations will play out in our lives. In this two hour class, Asenath Mason and Bill Duvendack will share insights on particular initiations. They will also discuss the Qliphoth in detail to prepare the student for what they may encounter as they ascend the tree of night.

Before proceeding, please acknowledge and accept our formal position. We do not accept the models proposed by various occult groups that portray angels or demons as abstract beings with agency or will of their own. Rather, we view them purely as representations of the practitionerโ€™s individual psyche. We also regard the reasons for their changes over time and the similarities between cultures as evidence of a shared human unconscious, referred to by Jung as the collective unconscious.

This means it is not โ€œthe devilโ€ that makes people do harmful things; people alone are responsible for their actions. When someone has an unhealthy relationship with these parts of the psyche, their experience can become distorted. They may require professional therapy and the guidance of a mental health professional; otherwise, they risk taking these powers of the unconscious to a dark place because those parts have been corrupted by misinformation, trauma, or both.

Our position is that each person is the ruler of their own kingdom/reality, and that spirit has no interest in human affairs and is not subject to an ego.

Accordingly, our interpretation of occult systemsโ€”from the Tree of Life and Tree of Death to the Goetia and Shemโ€”is purely symbolic. We treat them through the IFS (Internal Family Systems) model as representational frameworks that illustrate splits within the human psyche, and we work with them in a manner similar to โ€œduality therapy.โ€

Therefore, any person claiming that a spirit instructed them to do X or Y is expressing a cry for help and should be treated as such.

This is why this movement is clearly marked by the identifier โ€œGod Is Not Therapy.โ€ We are not here to provide therapy, but to present a model of these forces and practices for the purpose of understanding, navigating, and working with oneโ€™s own unconscious. By proceeding, you acknowledge your responsibility to seek professional assistance if you are experiencing any of these issues before continuing with this work.
