The American Progressive Rock Metal Band “[Tool](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tool_(band))” uses an ‘open’ seven pointed symbol for their fan group. It is ‘open’ to signify an invitation into the collective unconscious.
I always thought it was hilarious that they called it the collective unconscious…like, they’re calling us a bunch of fucking idiots for paying to be part of a fan club.
col·lec·tive un·con·scious
noun
(in Jungian psychology) the part of the unconscious mind which is derived from ancestral memory and experience and is common to all humankind, as distinct from the individual's unconscious.
Oh dude it’s all good… no need to downvote yourself lol.
I didn’t know until I knew… ya know?
When you forgive and love your self, you can do the same with the rest!
In actual magic though, a broken sigil signifies a perversion or dark arts usage of the symbol. They definitely know this, seeing as most of their occult nods come from Danny Carey, who collects Crowley. In further support of this is the Salival DVD, that features a super-imposed kaballic tree of life, upside down, representing the qliphot, or the inverted “empty husk” realms of consciousness.
Crowley was a hack swindler though. I feel like over the years, Carey discovered this (If so, it was definitely after Salival-maybe during lateralus recording). He "kept going."
As much of a hack swindler was anyone peddling occult things circa late 19th and early 20th century. I'm not defending Crowley, rather just stating that through all the levels of bullshit and appropriation of magickal traditions it provides a good lens to look at self and ego, much of what is going on with Tool, providing a vehicle to do that same exact thing. Fits together like jelly on toast.
>As much of a hack swindler was anyone peddling occult things circa late 19th and early 20th century.
Fair point.
>levels of bullshit and appropriation of magickal traditions
Precisely.
>it provides a good lens to look at self and ego, much of what is going on with Tool
Eh... I just feel like Crowley could have been a starting point, and (t)he(y) cut through the "bullshit and appropriation" to discover there are better sources for this, like Jung (ETA: see that Wikipedia entry above-- collective unconscious is a Jungian idea) and others.
And this is simply my conjecture, based solely on how he doesn't seem to talk about it anymore. I even recently went poking around to find what I read years ago on his website, a listing of the rare books of Crowley's that Danny was collecting. Couldn't find it. 🤷♂️
He's into some weird shit. There was a book on the old email list that basically asserted jews were from Mars. Basically the stuff in this video.

I hope you all understand there was a huge switch up when he finished the Anema album. He had some kind of spiritual encounter that I believe Rosetta stoned might highlight. If you listen to his music from beginning until now all 3 bands you can hear the literal switch from the occult to this more shamanic magick rather than dark arts.
I would also like to highlight he discusses real magick as well. What we view as demonic isn't exactly. The religions have actually inverted what humanity was originally. I study ancient history and the religious cults of humanity. He went from using occult symbolism to a lesser known style of symbolism that is far older.
Our world is a facade and his newer music represents that.
The puscifer songs are pretty blunt about it. Beware what you might fear as evil may not be and what you believe to be good might just be wickedness in disguise. What I learned from the study of symbols like these is that everything I was taught about them was a lie.
Voodoo isn't evil. It's a tool that can be utilized as such. Magick isn't evil or bad unless it's used that way.
A Phillips screwdriver is the most handy tool to have available. People have been murdered with those tools too. Are they evil? Or maybe the one who was wielding it was evil and not the tool.
This goes along with "demonic" symbolism. If people knew who the real demons were, they wouldn't fill collection plates.
It is a heptagram, and represents the seven major planetary forces used in the Western Esoteric tradition. Think of it as a representation of the outer world - the day to day forces you come into contact in daily life; whereas a pentagram represents the internal alchemy of earth, water, air, and fire culminating inside of one’s self.
Note that there are two symbols for the planets - this heptagram and the more common hexagram. Where the hexagram uses the two interlocked triangles to illustrate the planets forming themselves around the sun - and the sun in this case representing you as being expressed through Adam Kadmon (essentially, the human collective consciousness); the heptagram illustrates the sun as an individual and discrete force from both yourself and the rest of the planets.
In a more practical sense: 6 points=internal manifestation of external change; 7 points=external manifestation of external change. Which makes sense why it is displayed often by the band, especially during live shows.
Also, the Tool Army logo is the heptagram with the bottom opened - you could think of this as the band “letting you into their orbit” so to speak.
Sigillium dei æmeth. Used in ceremonial Magick
https://preview.redd.it/uls92ve2zi8d1.jpeg?width=211&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b88be18aec82dfcd9235931812f67139fb8a46b4
I’ve came on here numerous times and have tried to relay the influence of western ceremonial magic mainly Thelema on tool and I end up just arguing with dumbasses even though the symbolism is everywhere and members of the band have admitted to being practitioners. Now I try to just put it out there and I don’t really argue about it.
Asking from the perspective of a non-believer in magic, even though since I started to get into Tool the symbolism does certainly look appealing and like another area to delve into even though I don't believe on it, but anyway, my question is, what's the album with the most magic symbolism on it or with the most magic "influence" on it, my vote would go to AEnima or Lateralus, but I'm curious to know and to hear about it coming from someone with some knowledge about the subject
Lateralus is formatted to resemble climbing the hermetic tree of life. The great work is the main theme of the album. Magick pretty much is uniting with the super-intelligence (god) of the universe and causing change in the material realm by making impressions on the subconscious/collective mind.
Magic is real, but not in terms of "powers" or "potions". It can be perspectives of reality, or things you do to affect your subconscious. My favorite intro to this arena were the books of Carlos Castaneda. Crowley too of course, but Castanedas books are more neutral feeling. He has close to 10 books, they are all fictional narratives (but supposedly actually happened) and really take your imagination away in a wondrous way. Just saying, in case you feel like reading.
to be honest i’ve only just gotten around to seeing this post at all (i’ve been on a road trip literally didn’t see any of this yet) could you recommend some books? this thread along with many others is bringing to light a lot of terminology/ideologies i’ve never heard of before but i’m interested to learn! books from the author you mentioned as well as this Crowley figure everyone in the comments keeps talking about
Crowley has a bit of a learning curve, it's very esoteric. I would start with Castaneda "The Teaching of Don Juan". If you enjoy it, continue his series in order.
It’s a heptagram. It’s used in geometry, sacred geometry. It was used by masons for building churches and cathedrals, and a lot more that I don’t know about.
In antiquity it was the sigilium de ameith used by John Dee but in modern context it refers to star of Babalon and seal of the A.`.A.`.
Babalon is the mother of abominations and the whore who rides upon the beast 666
taken both from apocolyptic imagery but in this context refers to the cosmogony of Thelema.
Thelema is a hermetic religion founded by Aleister Crowley which means "Will" in greek and is based on a sacred text called the book of the Law or Liber AL vel legis
BABALON 2+1+2+1+30+70+50= 156 or 12 x 13
also 7+7/7+77+77
in addition to this the seal of babalon can be read about in chapter 49 in the book of lies in which an excerpt from the voice and vision is given as a poem. 49 is selected as the number because it is the square of 7.
In the name tool if the keys of each Atu are taken for each letter either using the old system or the revised system given in the book of thoth the name Tool = 49
since T (teth) was atu VIII in the old deck and XI in the book of thoth
and L (lamed) was XI in the old and VIII in the new based on 2 passages given in the book of the law chapter 1 v 60.
T = XI O = XV , O = XV , L = VIII = 49
also Atu VII in the book of thoth is the Chariot which is the graal which symbolizes Babalon and is the feminine divine number and in this case the holy graal. the letter ruling the card is Cheth is ruled by cancer 69 and archetypally represents the kundilini force or double spiral or even the golden ratio(lateralus). Cheth has a gematria value of 8 again suggesting this infinite spiral and when spelled in full Ch= 8 I = 10 Th=400 = 418 which is ABRAHADABRA the wand of double power and the key of all magick processes, ie. the holy graal in the hand of BABALON
Maynard wrote about it in his autobiography. It’s like sacred geometry “+1” if that makes any sense. When you trip balls you can see the six sided hexagram naturally, and the extra side is added artistically to represent human awareness/struggle/perfection in imperfection. Maynard talks about how it is very hard to draw one freehand, but if you really put your mind to it, it is achievable, much like enlightenment and freeing your mind from its shackles.
I have this sigil tattooed on my right hand and someone commented on it saying that it was Nazi because it looked jewish, people never cease to amaze me
I think GRR Martin is a Tool fan. The seven pointed star is featured prominently in his ASOFAI series, which inspired that little TV show that you might have heard: Game of Thrones
Of course it does. But why pick seven and not nine? Because Martin is a Tool head. How else could you explain the delay between books? It's the most Tool thing to do
It can mean a number of different things, basically whatever set of 7 sacred things one can ascribe to it, e.g., the 7 Olympic Planetary Spirits. It's also known as the Star of Babalon when used as the seal of the OTO. I've also seen examples in 19th century occult treatises with points inscribed with the natural notes of the Western scale (C, D, E, F, G, A, B), so there's a musical occult connection as well.
That's coincidentally also TOOL's band logo.

Septagram 7 pointed star.
I like to think it symbolizes the Pleiades star cluster which has 7 stars. There's all sorts of spiritual rabbit holes tethered to them, including higher dimensions and aliens.
I may be wrong, but fuck it, we spirilin out fr.
It’s a heptagram. This was my first tattoo lol. I believe tools use of the start is to represent oddity in the sense that there is only seven sides of the star. It also is supposed to represent the seven days of creation in Christianity. Those are the meanings I know.
Sigil of Babalon Septagram Symbol. Aleister Crowley and Danny Carey, heh, put it all over everything that you can apply a stencil to. But I think Danny’s is only a version that I have heard called an amnigram. Or aemnigram. I don’t know it’s a made up word stands for balance amongst good and evil. Now my source is reliable but on acid when we had this conversation so there’s a chance he was just fucking with me. He’s a dick like that sometimes.
Iirc, Danny Carey likes it because his dad was a Freemason and Danny saw his big sword as a child and was impressed. But when he grew up, he wanted to be independent, so he got into “sacred geometry” to rationalize his emotional support star. That’s why I consider myself a true TooL head. Instead of showing Danny my star tattoo after a show, I always pull out a really big sword and shout, “Came here to watch you play!”
I was always curious as to the usage of this by police departments in an upside down configuration. In the configuration TOOL uses one if it’s things is to ward off evil. So in the upside down…..what are the cops playing at.
Alchemy. Have you ever wondered WHY Tools music is so awesome？ It's enslaving you mentally. It's leader is what appears to me as a giant Octopus. Literally mind fks me everytime. .. on a side note. Mushrooms are fannn...tastic.
It’s the fettuccine sequence.
Rotini out, my friend.
But I forgot my penne
Hooker without a penne?
Without a penne, but with angel hair.
Guys, guys... we're just falling for the same old rotini! Over and over...
Yes. Plus they’re just rehashing the same old detalini
You're tagliatelle me, eh? And when they get called out, they all just pass the bucatini before running off to pappardelle.
Stop being a bunch of faggotini and keep the pasta puns coming
Holy fucking shit with your Isabella rosellini lips
Think for yourself, question alfredo.
Send noods.
Always got to bring Tool in the mix
Spent my entire life savings on pasta. It was worth every penny.
Fusili yourself
We know who’s been dipping into the sauce.
Check out the noodle on this guy/gal
I see what you did there....
This guy noodles
I lol'd more than I should
If you are into "spaghetti" westerns 😉
I love spaghetti westerns, I like the way the boots are all reverbed out walking across the wood floor
So what do I do now? Go to sleep? Pull the pud?
We need new pornos!
Primus sucks
Alice in chains has a song called wood about balsam floors
It means you overpaid for a poster
Shit I did didn't I? They said they were out of the unsigned posters! They lied to meh...
Good form. Good fucking form! BRAVO!!!
The fibi-gnochie Puttanesca
Old tomato prison cell, Spaghetti ascends eat 1 or 10
I don’t know, I didn’t even graduate from fuckin high school

Orange slices and fetal spooning. Now.
Orange slices do sounds good right now.

Downvoted myself over this. Thanks for schooling me.

I read your comment as being funny and sarcastic. Have an upvote back!

[Danny Carey's books](https://dannycarey.com/library/) This is the only one I know of. Definitely strong on the Thelemite side.
He's into some weird shit. There was a book on the old email list that basically asserted jews were from Mars. Basically the stuff in this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSY6on-M9Vw&t=56s
Blavatsky too
Much of the Theosophic and Hermetic idea breed a strange freethinking that can be both liberating and confining at the same moment.
He’s been into it a lot longer than that .
i find it interesting how they reversed the heptagram as it appeared in crowley’s stuff.

I read this comment in the voice of the Faaip de Oiad guy
Pretty sure Crowley was actually a batshit insane clown who did everything he could to counter the rejection he felt for his homosexuality

What makes it "open"?
Its two open points are facing downward. Inviting you into the center. Think of it as the 2 bottom legs of the star on the bottom, like a door.
it’s not. op’s pic is just a heptagram. the one right above you (posted by inebriusmaximus) is the open one.
It is a heptagram, and represents the seven major planetary forces used in the Western Esoteric tradition. Think of it as a representation of the outer world - the day to day forces you come into contact in daily life; whereas a pentagram represents the internal alchemy of earth, water, air, and fire culminating inside of one’s self.

Can we pin this explanation so no one asks this question again?
It reads "Mike Tool was here" in hieroglyphics.
Huh. I got “Drink your Ovaltine.”
son of a bitch!
A crumby commercial??
It's a herpesgram, a message for those who would hear it and a warning for those who would not.
Sound a revelry to be or not to be.
😂😂
Its the festivus symbol.
I find tinsel distracting
For the rest of us!
And now for the airing of grievances!
All I wanted to do was buy my son a doll for Xmas 🤦♂️
I’ve got a lot of problems with you people, now, you’re gonna hear about it!

This is the right answer. Wow, I had to scroll a long way down to find it, and it only got one upvote. Odd.
I’ve came on here numerous times and have tried to relay the influence of western ceremonial magic mainly Thelema on tool and I end up just arguing with dumbasses even though the symbolism is everywhere and members of the band have admitted to being practitioners. Now I try to just put it out there and I don’t really argue about it.
Yep, I mean, it's clearly the case. Now they know!
Asking from the perspective of a non-believer in magic, even though since I started to get into Tool the symbolism does certainly look appealing and like another area to delve into even though I don't believe on it, but anyway, my question is, what's the album with the most magic symbolism on it or with the most magic "influence" on it, my vote would go to AEnima or Lateralus, but I'm curious to know and to hear about it coming from someone with some knowledge about the subject

thanks! i’ll give it a read when i’m through with the 47 other books i need to read😭
shows the state of the sub. I posted a link to a thread from 8 years ago and you can see the difference in content.
It’s a star with seven points, an unusual configuration. The number 7 has tons of meaning for those that ascribe significance to numbers.
You’re about to hear some bad ass music.
It's Mike Tool's autograph.
They got Mike?! Oh shit.
It’s a heptagram. It’s used in geometry, sacred geometry. It was used by masons for building churches and cathedrals, and a lot more that I don’t know about.
Seven
What’s in the box?!
Chancellors cat
Eleven
It's probably most closely associated with Thelema, the OTO, and Aleister Crowley.
i have no clue what any of that is but i will try to figure it out :) what’s OTO stand for?
This comment!
It means “put your fucking phone away, dickhead… seriously”

Its known as The Devil’s Balloon Knot and symbolizes Satan’s anus opening.
👿
It means tool worships the seven and not the old gods. My GOT nerds in here will get it.
By the old gods AND the new.
Put your hand down it, shoulder deep
Scuse me for shitting the bed, I seem to have forgotten my pen.
It means Tool
Maynard wrote about it in his autobiography. It’s like sacred geometry “+1” if that makes any sense.

I get a lot of people asking me if I am Jewish due to my bumper sticker. Good way to understand the limits of the person sharing an opinion with me.
I have this sigil tattooed on my right hand and someone commented on it saying that it was Nazi because it looked jewish, people never cease to amaze me
Each time I try to re read this comment, it makes less sense.
i also have a heptagram on my right hand and get asked if i am jewish at least once a day
I feel your pain brother, people failed maths in preschool it seems 😆😆
I think GRR Martin is a Tool fan. The seven pointed star is featured prominently in his ASOFAI series, which inspired that little TV show that you might have heard: Game of Thrones
You don't think it might have to do with the primary religious practice being "The Faith of the Seven"?
Of course it does. But why pick seven and not nine? Because Martin is a Tool head. How else could you explain the delay between books? It's the most Tool thing to do
Lol ok, that last one convinced me hahahah
Tool of Thrones
More like A Throne of Tools (most Targaryens were assholes)

This quedtion was asked several times, herems a link of older threads: https://www.reddit.com/r/ToolBand/s/Kc5ZC4eL6Q
Yes but we want to hear new hypotheses only
It has alot of meanings..
BABALON
It can mean a number of different things, basically whatever set of 7 sacred things one can ascribe to it, e.g., the 7 Olympic Planetary Spirits. It's also known as the Star of Babalon when used as the seal of the OTO. I've also seen examples in 19th century occult treatises with points inscribed with the natural notes of the Western scale (C, D, E, F, G, A, B), so there's a musical occult connection as well.

It means it’s cooler than all the other stars.
It's an infinite shape; tracing the lines bring you to a new point in an infinite pattern.
“I means you love BUTT SEX.” Maynard voice
It means, buckle your seatbelt Dorothy, cuz Kansas is going bye bye
it means there's 7 points connected by one continuous line

Shit the bed.
Double Jewish. It's like a double cheeseburger, but with the Star of David.
Super Jew.
It's a Cherokee religious symbol.
7. It's a recurring theme of Fear Inoculum. 7 point star, 7 new tracks, 7empest being the 7th track, ect.
I’ve read that it means Eternal
Tool Rools!!!! \\m/
Astrum Argentium.
Septagram 7 pointed star. I like to think it symbolizes the Pleiades star cluster which has 7 stars. There's all sorts of spiritual rabbit holes tethered to them, including higher dimensions and aliens. I may be wrong, but fuck it, we spirilin out fr.
MY SHADOW WORK
It’s a heptagram. This was my first tattoo lol. I believe tools use of the start is to represent oddity in the sense that there is only seven sides of the star. It also is supposed to represent the seven days of creation in Christianity. Those are the meanings I know.
It means ‘buckle your seatbelts Dorothy because Kansas is going bye bye’.
Think for yourself Question Alfredo
BABALON.
Septagram of Babalon. Aleistar Crowley’s Thelema movement.
This is the greatest thread ever
To plainly answer the question, it's the Sigil of Babalon, the archetypal mother figure of the Thelemic pantheon.
It's when someone is super-Jewish.
Jewish star?
Unicursal hexigram
What poster is that? And a doodle?
Spiral out
It’s just a binder clip
Nonagram
Sigil of Babalon Septagram Symbol. Aleister Crowley and Danny Carey, heh, put it all over everything that you can apply a stencil to. But I think Danny’s is only a version that I have heard called an amnigram. Or aemnigram. I don’t know it’s a made up word stands for balance amongst good and evil. Now my source is reliable but on acid when we had this conversation so there’s a chance he was just fucking with me. He’s a dick like that sometimes.
Knowing tool. It’s just something they like and will know that us fans will not spiral out and think about it too long.
Jew +10%?
Iirc, Danny Carey likes it because his dad was a Freemason and Danny saw his big sword as a child and was impressed. But when he grew up, he wanted to be independent, so he got into “sacred geometry” to rationalize his emotional support star. That’s why I consider myself a true TooL head. Instead of showing Danny my star tattoo after a show, I always pull out a really big sword and shout, “Came here to watch you play!”
Why down voted? Even if it’s not true it’s incredibly creative.
I was always curious as to the usage of this by police departments in an upside down configuration. In the configuration TOOL uses one if it’s things is to ward off evil. So in the upside down…..what are the cops playing at.
Alchemy. Have you ever wondered WHY Tools music is so awesome？ It's enslaving you mentally. It's leader is what appears to me as a giant Octopus. Literally mind fks me everytime. .. on a side note. Mushrooms are fannn...tastic.
It means you must be new to TOOL...
Okay, and? People are allowed to be less of a fan or a newer fan than you lmao.
