Liber ab Clementia (Book of Humanity)^281
Allah—Male—Middle East
Wife: Allat (also daughter)
‘The God’ (derived from ‘al-ilah’)—Persian
and Arabian All Father. Allah is to Islam what
Yahweh is to Christianity. What is commonly
called Islam today would better be termed
Mohammedism because today’s Islam reflects
mainly on the teachings of Mohammed. It is
interesting to note that of the worship of Al-
lah, Mohammed saw both Jews and Christians
as all worshipping Allah by different names,
calling both Jews, Christians, and Moslems
“Children of the Scripture.” The primary dif-
ference is that neither Jesus nor his mother
were viewed as being themselves part of di-
vinity. Prior to Mohammedism, Allah was an
Arabic Creator but not the one and only god
as promoted by Mohammed’s declaration.
When we consider the recent and ongoing ac-
tions of fundamental Islam, we see the effects
humanity receives for giving name to the
Nameless One. Allah is said to have three
daughters: Allat (also his wife), Menat, and Al-
Uzza. Together, they make the Triple Goddess
who is often known by the name of his wife
and one of the daughters, Allat.Allat—Female—Middle East
(Also known as Allatu and Al-lat)
Father: Allah
Husband: Allah
Holiday: New Moon
‘The Goddess’ (derived from ‘al-ilat’)—Per-
sian and Arabian All Mother who was con-
demned by the followers of Mohammed the
same way the wife of Yahweh was condemned
by the line of Adam and Eve. However, she later
appears as one of Islam’s three daughters of
Allah. This was perhaps a Mohammedan at-
tempt at hiding her significance as Allah’s equal.
Her holiday is the New Moon, but the cycle of
the waxing moon is also sacred to her. She is
one of the many Triple Goddesses, her other
names being Al-Uzza and Menat.All Father—Male—Universal
Most often used as a name for Odin, the
term has been used so universally prior to themodern Pagan movement that it is used almost
interchangeably with the Neo-Pagan term Sky
Father.All Mother—Female—Universal
Most often used as a name for Gaia, the
term has been used so universally prior to the
modern Pagan movement that it is used almost
interchangeably with the Neo-Pagan term
Earth Mother.Alphaeus—Male—Mediterranean
Lover: Arethus
Greek river god who fell in love with the
nymph Arethus.Aleitheia—Female - Middle East/Mediterranean
‘Truth’—Gnostic Aeon of experienced
truth and the hidden meaning behind the mys-
tery. She is that which cannot be expressed in
language either written or spoken, but that
which must be experienced to be understood.
She is often expressed with a sexual undertone,
as if to say the reception of the truth behind a
mystery is the act of experiencing orgasm
within her embrace.Althaea—Female—Mediterranean
Husband: Oeneus
Lover: Dionysus
Greek goddess of birth and, to some de-
gree, of plant growth. A couple can call on her
favors by sharing wine with the Earth as sacri-
fice. To do so, become skyclad with your part-
ner outdoors on a slightly chilly night and share
a bottle of grape wine, giving one drink to the
potential father, one to the potential mother,
and then one to the Earth (spill it to the
ground). Repeat until you have consumed that
which you intended and then make love out-
doors where you made the offering. View your
lovemaking to be an offering itself. Be aware
that although filled with maternal instinct, she
is not without limits. When her son Meleager
was born, it was prophesized by the Three
Fates that he would live only as long as a par-
ticular ember in the fireplace remained
unconsumed. She immediately grabbed thatz WB Chap 17.p65 281 7/11/2003, 6:04 PM
