worlds) 'The branches of the Tree mirror its roots'. Ronald Tyson Astronomer and author of the occult Books “Al Hazrat” and The Necronomicon, confirms in a nutshell what I am about to explain regarding the Alchemical practice of working with the Sun, moon and Stars. The Paragraph pertains to the workings of an alchemical device. The Water Mirror of Joshua. A perfect example of this device can be found mentioned in the epic tale of ‘The Lord of the Rings’ in the elven realms of the woods in the deep magical forests of Lothlórien. In the book Al Hazrat it states, "The Holy Angels dwell above the CIRCLE of the moon in the STARS. God transmits HIs purpose to the STARS. The STARS by the agency of their ruling. Angels in turn send Potency to the Planets by their patterned movements which affect life here on earth but every heavenly virtue first must pass through the sphere of the MOON to reach and effect the earth, the moon acts as a type of gatekeeper regulating the influence of the heavens upon the earth and also the attempts by those on earth to also reach or communicate with the spirits of the heavens. It will be at once appreciated why the Magic Mirror, which is a completely Lunar device, is so effective in opening the doorway to the worlds of the dead, spirits and higher Angels”. To bring some clarity to what this means in simple terms; By acting as 'vessels' on earth that transmit divine light through interconnection of the elements, we transform into MIRRORS of the Heavenly bodies ie The Stars- By becoming merging the 'self' (microcosm) with our 'Greater self' (macrocosm) through inner connection of our heart centre to the universal Heart centre -we are able to bridge the gap between heaven and earth.
