(24 pgs.)
TITLE:
From TL:
The latin quotation "et in Arcadia ego"
must be completed with the predicate
"fui" (I have been): "I also have once
been in Arcadia" - thus expressing nostalgia for a lost paradise. The sentence
appears first on a painting of the Italian painter Schidone (died in 1615). "Et in
Arcadia ego" is also the motto of Goethe's "Travel to Italy".
There is a more
famous painting about Et in Arcadia ego painted by Poussin and mentioned in the
text. You can see it further down in my annotations. Here is a lot of
information about the painting and the meaning of the expression Et
In Arcadia Ego
SYNOPSIS
FBI Agents Breughel and Ball learn that Henry Royce sent a
Smee to try and kill Promethea. Stacia shows up at Jack Faust's shop wanting to
know where Sophie is and when she will return from the Immateria.
In Chokmah
Promethea (6) and Promethea(5) enter an Arcadian landscape where the sacred and
profane meet in a taboo tableau of Pan raping Selene. They experience the
primordial moment of the Big Bang and realize that spacetime is eternally
occuring always. Promethea (5) worries about whether the end of the world has
already started and they find Crowley dressed as a fool sitting at the bottom of
a staircase too frightened to go further up as looking up into the face of God
for too long means that you can never look away. Promothea (5) and Promethea (6)
continue up the staircase in pursuit of Steven Shelley.

Note that JHW3 painted all the color on pages
8-24
Several readers have commented about how sexy this issue is which I
presume is the effect JHW3 was trying to produce. He should be very
pleased with his results in this issue.
Apart from black, white and gray the
colors seem to be confined to red and yellow and variations of those two eg.
pink, purple and orange, etc. There is also a very nice effect with splashes of
white in many different panels.
JHW3 explains how he achieved these
results:
The art for 22 was done by first by outlining the figures of
Sophie and Barbara with a fine line of ink. Then I proceded to paint in all of
the tones and colors using copic gray tones and color tones and color pencils
and acrylic paint. All of the backgrounds were done in the same way only without
using any outlining. The pages toward the end were done in gray tone first then
I took prismacolor pencil and roughed in the colors, then blended them into more
solid tones with a copic clear blender. There will be some pages in issue 24
done in this way as well but with a lot more color. I like using the blended
color pencils instead of all paint because it creates a unusual texture. It has
the slightest hint of grittiness. Anyway it is all mixed media.
From TL:
The general idea of Chockmah is emanation - it's the first
emanation. The natural symbols of Chockmah are the branch and the twig,
representing the principle of the line which arises from a point (or a seed).
But the best symbol for the power of Chockmah is the phallus. He embodies the
quality of erection, through the erection, the penis becomes a wand. Finally,
when the phallus ejaculates the sperm, that action manifests the pure power of
Chockmah. The sperm expresses the essence of Chockmah. The ejaculation of the
sperm is united with the orgasm. The orgasm, often described as an explosion, is
also an expression of Chockmah (combined with the energy of Binah). For most
people, this is the only possibility to reach the level of Aziluth for some
seconds. (paraphrased after Hans-Dieter Leutenberger, The school of Tarot - The
tree of life (Der Baum des Lebens), Freiburg 1981).

Panel 2:
This is where all the stars spurt into being
TL notes that: We
can take the word literally and understand: this is the big bang and the origin
of the universe with its stars (macrocomos).
But "star" is also a symbol for
the individual self which comes into being here (microcosmos).
The occultist
Benjamin Rowes writes:
"This is the meaning of the important phrase in book I
of Liber AI vel Legis:
"Every man and every woman is a star". Each being
alive in the world is simultaneously incarnated as a star in this other
universe. Rather, that star is our incarnation, viewed from the correct point of
vantage. The purpose of each of us is to increase the beauty and the brilliance
of the Stars that we are, by our experience of the ugliness, beauty, and
mundanity of this world of Earth."
See (The Beast and the
Star A Vision of the Abyss by Benjamin Rowe).

Panel 3: From TL:
(the bird flying into the chalice) reminds me of
the German expression "vögeln" ("to bird") which means to have sex. There's a
passage in the works of Jorge Luis Borges where he mentions that word. I'm sure
Moore knows Borges. But apart from that association, the symbol "bird" for
phallus is universal.
The hexagram is a symbol for the union of male and
female energies.
Benjamin Rowe writes in "The Beast and the Star - A Vision
of the Abyss" on this subject:
Natural man is viewed as the pentagram of the
elements, as a being with five limbs, and five basic forces composing his being.
These are the traditional elements of fire, air, water; earth, and spirit. The
spirit aspect can either be directed towards the sexual forces (symbolized by
the inverse pentagram) or it can be directed towards the spiritual realms.
It
was shown to me that Man can become developed to the degree that the spirit
(defined as the consciousness aspect) can be directed to either the sexual or
the spiritual side at will, or to both at the same time. When a man attains this
degree of development, he becomes the hexagram. The sexual organs - male or
female - become the sixth point which is missing in the pentagram.
There were
then a series of pictures in which the relations between the downward-pointing
triangle and the upwardpointing triangle in the hexagram were demonstrated. It
was noted that the forces of the two triangles are complimentary and act in
opposition to each other when allowed to. They tend to push each other apart,
causing Dispersion. It was then shown that for the triangle to unite into the
hexagram in man, they have to be interlocked with each other. Otherwise, the
downward-tending emotional forces (Luna, Mars, Jupiter) and the upward-tending
mental forces (Saturn, Mercury, Venus) will act in such a way as to disrupt each
other's effects.

Pages 16-17 center Panel: HR Giger type spaceship but manned by human
like alien figures
to me it looks like the four figures represent YHVH
referred to and explained back on pgs 10-11 by Sophie. The bottom male figure
appears to be steering the vehicle using a wand (wings on top of a pole) then we
have a female figure then another male figure with either some sort of animal or
just an artistic squiggle on his chest and lightning bolts around him and
finally another female figure.
Thomas Lautwein adds:
The Giger type
spaceship is the phallus of Pan, the grey-white curvature on the left side are
the buttocks of Selene. The four figures could be the angels of Chockmah, the
Ophanim. "Ophanim" means "wheels", and we can see wheels on the vehicle.
Rob
Keery suggests that
the four figures representing the
elements/fundamental forces are I'm sure intended to recall the Fantastic Four on the
take-off platform before heading into the life-changing cosmic rays. the
electromagnetism guy's sparks could just as easily be interpreted as flames, and
the figure on his right is so androgynous and indistinct I think it qualifies as
a 'thing'.
One of the regular bits of Moore apocrypha is that it was an early
Lee/Kirby issue of the Fantastic Four that
cemented him to the comics world.
The elemental/fundamental correspondences
of the FF, their powers and personalities, have appeared in Marvel Boy and
FF:1234 and probably a million other places besides.
What intersts me in
this is that it may be within comicbooks' power to explain the current G.U.T
feelings of our leading scientists. One of the major issues for science right
now is figuring out exactly how the fundamental forces inter-relate, and having
read plenty of FF comics I can tell them:
the electromagnetic force agitates
the gravity, which is held from collapsing everything by the weak nuclear force
, and all of them are being held within each others' spheres by the innovative
and potentialising aspects of the strong nuclear force. [or am i just being
sexist supposing that sue is the 'weak' electro force just because she's a girl?
thinking about it it may be far more likely that her powers mark her out as the
strong force, and reed as the weak.]
Page 17 Panels 2-3: “Building
like music. Building to a crescendo. Building to its outburst..building to..that
first formless…utterance..that first expression…”
Reminds me of John Lennon
describing to George Martin the effect he wanted to achieve towards the end of
“A Day in the Life” as a sort of musical or orchestral
orgasm or in this article the
end of the world.

close up of the art on the first panel in panels 2 and 3. Very nice

is…I
a variant on the New Testament John
1:1
"In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word
was God"
Page 18: From TL the "I" is the hebrew letter "Yod" of
the tetragrammaton, the wand, the line and the divine "I" (God says to Moses: "I
am who I am"). The explosion is also the moment where God says: "let there be
light". See chapter 16 in Dion Fortunes "The Mystical Qabalah, London 1957".

Red Balloon:
This is
just a guess but the red balloon might be a reference to the short film made in
1956 in France called Le Ballon
Rouge.
Here's the story:
I
forget where I found this quote:
Most of French director Albert Lamorisse's
films celebrate the miracle of flight, but few were as landmark as his 1956
short subject The Red Balloon. The story, told without dialogue, concerns a
little boy (played by the director's son Pascal) who comes across a
helium-filled balloon. As he plays with his new acquisition, the boy discovers
that the balloon seemingly has a mind of its own. The little red orb follows its
new "master" all through the streets of Paris, then dogs the boy's trail into
the schoolroom, which drives the teacher to comic distraction. Towards the end,
it seems as though boy and balloon will be parted forever....but director
Lamorisse has a delightful surprise in store for us. In an unusual move, The Red
Balloon in its American TV premiere was introduced by Ronald Reagan as an
episode of the CBS anthology G.E. Theater on April 2, 1961.
Which by a nice
coincidence was exactly one year to the day before I was born.
Here's a nice
review of the
film.
The red balloon also reminds me of the smouldering corpse almost
but not quite holding onto a red balloon on the cover of League of Extraordinary
Gentlemen Volume 2 Issue 2.
When I asked JHW3 about this his reply
was:
I'm not quite sure what the red balloon signifies. perhaps it means
the apocalypse?
A totally different possibility is that it might be a
reference to the Tim
Hardin song Red Balloon which is apparently about Heroin although you
wouldn't know it from an innocent reading of the lyrics.
The British music magazine Mojo
explains the heroin reference in its December 2002 issue on pg. 70
As
naked an ode to heroin as has ever been written, once you're wise to Hardin's
use of dopespeak-that the product is frequently sold in latex balloons; that the
"pinning of my eyes" refers to the drug-induced contraction of the iris; and
"took the lovelight from my eyes" to the junkie's loss of libido.
Crowley
was known to have used heroin on numerous occasions.
Yet another possibility
is that it is sort of injoke from Alan to Neil Gaiman.
In Neil Gaiman's
Sandman Vol 4 Season of Mists Episode 5 on pgs 157 and 162
Chaos hands the
Sandman a single red balloon (On pg. 157 she tells him)
"You can have my
balloon if you like."
and he ends up giving it to Matthew the crow
(on pg
162)
"Okay boss. Nice balloon you got there"
"If you like it Matthew, it
is yours. Here take it"
"Huh.What will I do with a ..."
Matther then flies
off with it after which we never see it again.
I wonder what a red balloon
signifies to Neil Gaiman?
According to Hy Benders' The Sandman
Companion he got the idea for having Chaos as a little girl by looking at
his six year old daughter
"Holly - it didn't seem a stretch to incarnate
Chaos as a small girl. Holly had just had her birthday, for which she put on a
clown face and wore oversize clothing and wandered around with balloons, and I
thought, "There we go, that's what Shivering Jemmy will look like."
pgs
104-105.
On the other hand to paraphrase Sigmund Freud
Sometimes a red
balloon is just a red balloon.
Page 22 Panel 1:"What are you doing
here?"
"Talking to spirits and delusions evidently."
Does this mean the 2
Prometheas are just spirits and delusions?
I’m in my temple at Cefalu. It’s
1921 and I’m preparing to become Ipsissimus.
A quote from Thomas Lautwein
explaining Ipsissimus
Ipsissimus is the tenth and highest degree in Crowley's
O.T.O. Latin "Ipse" means "himself", "-issimus" is the sign for the superlative
degree, so "Ipsissimus" = "the highest self, the I in its highest
degree".
Some information about the grades from Crowley's Liber B vel Magi sub Figura
I
15. Now the grade of a Magister teacheth the Mystery of Sorrow, and
the grade of a Magus the Mystery of Change, and the grade of Ipsissimus the
Mystery of Selflessness, which is called also the Mystery of Pan.
16. Let the Magus then contemplate each in turn, raising it to the ultimate power of Infinity. Wherein Sorrow is Joy, and Change is Stability, and Selflessness is Self. For the interplay of the parts hath no action upon the whole. And this contemplation shall be performed not by simple meditation --- how much less then by reason! --- but by the method which shall have been given unto Him in His initiation to the Grade.
17. Following which method, it shall be easy for Him to combine that trinity from its elements, and further to combine Sat-Chit-Ananda, and Light, Love, Life, three by three into nine that are one, in which meditation success shall be That which was first adumbrated to Him in the grade of Practicus (which reflecteth Mercury into the lowest world) in Liber XXVII, "Here is Nothing under its three forms."
18. And this is the Opening of the Grade of Ipsissimus, and by the Buddhists it is called the trance Nerodha-Samapatti.
A quote from Lawrence Sutin's biography of Crowley Do What Thou
Wilt:
"Crowley returned to the Abbey in April....[he] came to a
resolution for which he had been bracing himself for some six years, since his
assumption of the grade of Magus. His destiny was to evolve to the highest grade
conceivable by human consciousness-that of Ipsissimus, 10 degrees=1square, on
the plane of Kether, the kabbalistic Crown of the Tree of Life, where the first
emanation of pure Godhead is made manifest. Crowley's diary entry on this new
and final grade was as much terrified as exultant. The "deed" referred to is
unknown:
'I am by insight and initiation an Ipsissimus;I'll face the phantasm
of myself, and tell it so to its teeth. I will invoke Insanity itself;but having
thought the truth, I will not flinch from fixing it in word and deed, whatever
come of it.
9:34 p.m. As a God goes, I go.
10:05 I am back at my desk,
having done the deed, before the Scarlet Woman as my witness. I swore to keep
silence, so long as I live, about the fact of my attainment. (The Scarlet Woman
is not thus bound, of course.)'
As to this vow of silence, Crowley seems to
have been as good as his word. He never made direct mention of the Ipsissimus
attainment in his writings. But in the private sanctity of the Abbey, Crowley
had at last jumped the gap between God and himself."
