GoN Enumes: Visitation = 2 / Transmission = -2 Mantra: UGWF MERTI NOCH Archetypal Dichotomy: Sacrificial Martyr / Creature of Nightmare The Numeric Egregore of Two corresponds to Neptune, the most mysterious and esoteric of all the outer planets. Neptune reigns over the 12th House in astrology (Pisces), the sidereal dominion of spirituality and dreams. Neptune, the planet of inspiration and imagination, profoundly impacts the Numeric Egregore of Two. This utopia-insisting influence imbues the thoughtform with a sense of inner vision and a knack for manipulating the world of illusion. Neptune's influence on Two-identifying individuals can open doors to unique career paths. These may include roles in the arts, healing professions, or any field that values generative novelty and intuition. This inspired spark can lead to lifestyles as mystics, mediums, healers, yogis/yoginis, fortune-tellers, actors/actresses, street performers, illusionists, magicians, witches, monks, visionaries, sailors, scuba divers, or recluses. Two-identifying individuals often face challenges connecting with the outside world. Their perception of hidden magic in reality may lead them to retreat into their inner worlds in search of answers. This can result in frustration, as they may feel trapped and unfulfilled. However, this growing dissatisfaction can also be a powerful motivator, pushing them to explore new avenues for change, like opening an online store or an oracle reading business. These ventures provide an outlet for their creativity and passion, allowing them to regain control over their lives and financial futures. The Numeric Egregore of Two is characterized by intuition, empathy, and the urge to seek deeper meaning in life. It embodies positive traits such as letting trivial things go, self-sacrificing, and fostering a sense of optimism through an imaginative, carefree, and full-of-hope demeanor. These traits can guide us toward a more fulfilling life. This mindset has several negative characteristics. These include a transcendent sense of conceit and disregard for personal responsibility (i.e., spiritual bypassing), lack of focus, procrastination, escapism, illogical decision-making, susceptibility to get-rich-quick schemes, excessive daydreaming, and tendencies to avoid reality. Instead of working towards meaningful, long-term goals that require dedication and hard work, the negative mindset often leads to superficial approaches to life.
Magickal uses and other faculties Two introduces us to our dream self or "astral double," which exists non-locally to our physical body. It helps us learn about lucid dreaming and how to access our Body of Light or energetic body. This allows us to experiment with out-of-body experience, enter the realms of shamanic journeying in the hypnagogic state, explore psyberspace without a terminal as an electron-based specter amid information fields, or navigate controlled remote viewing sessions that transport us to new frontiers. Additionally, it increases our knowledge of chemognosis. This can involve entheogens and various psychedelic plants, fungi, and cactuses to explore one's mind. These include hallucinogenic substances, mescaline-spectrum research chemicals or Shulgin drugs, or poisonous non-consumables. Traditionally, Witches in Europe have a history of using natural deliriants. Salves were prepared from poisonous tropane alkaloid ingredients listed by ethnobotanists, including belladonna, henbane bell, jimson weed, black henbane, mandrake, hemlock, and/or wolfsbane. Most of these plants contain atropine, hyoscyamine, and/or scopolamine, the last of which can cause psychotropic effects when absorbed transdermally. Many of these salves were called 'flying ointments' in Europe. Witches applied them to their underarms or vulva using broom handles, which may be where the imagery of witches flying on brooms derived. They were said to fly to an infernal sabbat where they would meet the Devil, other reputed demons, and often Diana of Greek myth (which is the appropriate term for the modern goddess-centered traditional witchcraft focused on female experience and empowerment, e.g., Dianic Witchcraft) One possible key to how individuals dealt with the toxicity of the nightshades usually said to be part of flying ointments is through the supposed antidotal reaction that some of the solanaceous alkaloids have with the alkaloids of Papaver somniferum (opium poppy). The two exert antagonistic influences upon one another and are allegedly recommended and employed as antidotes in cases of poisoning. However, in truth, combining preparations containing morphine or opiates with tropane alkaloid agents should be avoided as they have a synergic action with atropine; an appropriate antidote is, by contrast, the acetylcholinesterase inhibitor physostigmine salicylate. Due to its enhancement of the transmission of acetylcholine signals in the brain and ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, physostigmine salicylate is used to treat anticholinergic poisoning (poisoning by substances such as atropine, scopolamine, and other anticholinergic drug overdoses). Physostigmine is also the antidote for Datura stramonium, Atropa belladonna, and diphenhydramine poisoning. Although, physostigmine salicylate has been proven to have poor bioavailability.

Religioccultural minutia referencing Two (2)
Revelation: Two is the number of witness. The disciples were sent out by two's (Mark 6:7). Two witnesses are required to establish truth (Deu 17:6, John 8:17, 2 Cor 13:1). Examples in Revelation are the beast out of the earth who has two horns like a lamb but spoke like a dragon (13:11). He is the false prophet. However the two witnesses are the true prophets of God (11:3). Taoist says two is representative of The K'ua, the Two. Determinants, the yin-yang. Two is a weak yin number as it has no center.

( source: Aleister Crowley's Thoth tarot deck booklet documentation ) ( source: Aleister Crowley's Thoth tarot deck booklet documentation ) from Crystalinks.com: "Alteration; diversity; conflict; dependence. Two is a static condition. It is rooted, seen as balance (two sides); stability; reflection. Two are the opposite poles. Represents the dual nature of the human being. It is desire, since all that is manifest in duality is in pairs of opposites. As One represents a point, two represents a length. The Binary is the first number to recede from Unity, it also symbolizes sin which deviates from the first good and denotes the transitory and the corruptible.Two represents two-fold strength--that is symbolized by two of anything, usually in history, by animals in pairs."
