Chartreuse

Post by Aenigmatron »

Watched the Equinox vid the other night and decided to do some searching on the Chartreuse tag. Not sure if this is relevant or anything but I am going to go ahead and post it.

Most of this stuff is from wikipedia and the rest of it was found in various places online.

Chartreuse: the color known as Lime, or distilled wine alcohol, originally called the Elixir of Life. Made from 130 different herbs, flowers and secret ingredients.

Chartreuse Mountains: North of Grenoble, France.

Chartreuse = Harlequin = Devilish

Kenneth Anger - Lucifer Rising

A Door within Crowley's Face which opens onto a superimposed zodiac in The Inauguration of The Pleasure Dome, the hand tinted chartreuse fan (the magickal weapon)

Note: Kenneth Anger is O.T.O.

Magickal Weapon: The Knife (Athame) is a magickal weapon of the Air/Ace of Swords in the Tarot.

Air = Aries, cardinal fire, Air is Vav of IHVH (Tetragrammaton)
Air = Mind, Intelligence, Intellect

Again I apologize if this made absolutely no sense, but this is about the only thing I could come up with in reference to the Chartreuse tag.

I've been wondering about this too. It seems entirely random. I did a google search of "aleister crowley chartreuse" and came up with this site,

http://www.oxygenee.com/absinthe-BOOKS10.html

It talks about an essay Crowley wrote on absinthe/chartreuse.... reading through it I can't see an relevance or clues about what is actually going on in lonelygirl15's story, but it was the only thing I could find that connected chartreuse to her in any way whatsoever.

Wouldn't be the first time a tag seemed entirely random. In fact, the only tag so far that people swear isn't random is "Denderah". This is why I'm still not sold that denderah applies... I'm more inclined to think the tags are there to lead us astray and provoke these kind of discussions...

CHARTREUSE, the Yellow-Green Enchantress

Post by gogo »

More on Chartreuse:
From http://www.artesmagicae.com/Rays.htm

In an article on Gnostic, which is an offshoot of Crowley’s OTO, Magical Patterns in the Theosophical Rays:
…we find the Eighth Ray, governing Innocence and Music, to be CHARTREUSE, the Yellow-Green Enchantress (traditional Tarot's Magician); Isis or South Node in Virgo, in trine to and four signs behind the Seventh Ray's Capricorn. (This rules the throat chakra, the body of the spirit.)
Is our dear, sweet Bree an enchantress? Daniel seems to think so.

This might be what causes her head to nod in the "WHAT" poem.

That was the weirdest display of geekdom that I have ever seen in my entire life.

I work in a sporting goods store and Chartreuse is a popular color for fish bait, esp. when the water is murky or the weather is cloudy, making visibility low.

No, I got my name from the tag, I promise. I have no insight or information, except that it's a neat color. :roll:
