Cone

  • “The cone is cut with an infinite ray; the curve of hyperbolic life springs into being.” -Liber VII, V:35
  • “The cone is a figure of Iacchus, Lord of the Highest Ecstasy. It is the Phallus. Its mathematical implications are many and important. In particular, its relations with the Great Pyramid of Cheops yield remarkable correspondences.” –Liber 418: The Vision and the Voice
  • “After the lightning flash, resteth in the zenith a minute point of light. And that light shall radiate until a right cone be established upon the sea, and it is day… Let him now remain in the Pyramid or Cone of Light, as an Egg, but no more of blackness.” –Liber HHH, part MMM
  • “By “the wheel spinning in the spire” is meant the manifestation of magical force, the spermatozoon in the conical phallus.” -Liber 333: Book of Lies
  • “…a Cone, that is the noblest of all solid figures, being the Image of the Holy Phallus Itself, and combineth in himself the Right Line and the Circle.” –Liber CCC: Khabs Am Pekht
  • “The Fool is of the gold of air. He has the horns of Dionysus Zagreus, and between them is the phallic cone of white light representing the influence from the Crown [Kether: see the position of the Path of Aleph on the Tree of Life.] upon him.” –The Book of Thoth

Pine cone

  • “Let this shrine be furnished appropriately as to its ornaments, according to the book 777. With ivy and pine-cones, that is to say, for Bacchus” -Liber 175: Liber Astarte
  • “Dionysus Zagreus. Bacchus Dipheus… The legend of Bacchus is, first of all, that he was Diphues, double-natured, and this appears to mean more bisexual than hermaphroditic. His madness is also a phase of his intoxication, for he is pre-eminently the god of the vine. He goes dancing through Asia, surrounded by various companions, all insane with enthusiasm; they carry staffs headed with pine cones and entwined with ivy… In his right hand he bears the wand, tipped with a pyramid of white, of the All-Father. In his left hand he bears the flaming pine-cone, of similar significance, but more definitely indicating vegetable growth; and from his left shoulder hangs a bunch of purple grapes.” –The Book of Thoth
  • “Queen of Wands… She bears a wand in her left hand; but it is topped with a cone suggestive of the mysteries of Bacchus.” –The Book of Thoth
