 "q l i p h o t h  (heb.): the plural form of  q l i p h a, a harlot. 
q l i p h o t h  is the name given to the region inhabited by soulless entities, 
the shells or mouldering vehicles of perverted and aborted desires that prolong 
their twilight existence by preying on the vital fluids of the living. it is the 
region of vampires, ghouls, demons, and evil spirits, as well as being the 
habitation of the phantom forms generated by sexual desires and morbid cravings 
constantly produced by dwellers on earth. each  s e p h i r a  of the tree of 
life has its corresponding  q l i p h o t h  which is the reflection of the 
energy which it represents, and these averse  s e p h i r o t h  form what is 
known as the tree of death. only the well-armed initiate, the adept, in fact, 
can use these power-zones with impunity."

 "the image of the beast, dragon, or seven-headed serpent, formed the basal 
design on the floor of the vault of the adepts in the golden dawn. to each head 
was assigned a name of the qliphotic or demonic force, the number of which is 
eleven. 
 another affinity between a l [crowley's 'the book of the law' - kfl] and the 
tantras is that the tantras are accepted, not because of their antiquity alone, 
but because of their proven superhuman authority of origin. there are other 
similarities to the tantras, but also one great dissimilarity in that the 
tantrics (especially of the sakta division) avoid all use of the number eleven 
because it is considered inauspicious. this number, which plays a major role in 
crowley's cult, has been adversely commented by dion fortune:

   'crowley's  m a g i c k  is valuable to the student, but only the advanced 
   student can use it with profit. the formulae, too, on which he works, would 
   be considered averse and evil by occultists accustomed to the qabalistic 
   tradition, for he uses 11 instead of 10 as the basis of his battery of    
   knocks, in the magical ceremonies, and 11 is the number of the qliphoth. no 
   hint of this is given in the text, and it is an ugly trap for the unwary 
   student' [applied magic].

 it is true that eleven is the number of the qliphot, the unbalanced residue 
cast off by, and therefore outside, the ten sephiroth, but man has to triumpf 
over these unbalanced forces in his own nature before he can become a master 
magician. in order to do this he first has to evoke the qliphoth, which he does 
by formulating the averse pentagram (the star of set) a f t e r  he has 
established his magical supremacy by balancing within himself the five elements 
represented by the upright pentagram (the star of nuit). the magician is himself 
the eleventh, because he is forever outside and beyond the operation of the ten 
(i.e. the two pentagrams).
 similarly, the beast with seven heads achieves his apotheosis in the eightfold 
power named baphomet, the glyph of the androgyne which conseals the secret 
formula of change through sexual polarity   i n   h u m a n   f o r m; this is 
the formula of sexual magick based on atavistic resurgence.
 crowley, who always maintained a positive attitude, considered also the equally 
important fact that eleven is the number of the path of aleph on the tree of 
life, the path that transmits the light of kether, to tiphereth the son. [here 
grant differs from all other sources i know; usually the fool's path 11 is meant 
to connect kether and chokmah, like grant himself also puts it in his graphical 
reproduction of the tree of life. the number of the path connecting kether and 
tiphereth is 13. it's the high priestess, ghimel. - kfl] this path symbolizes 
the transmission of the supernatural light to the magus (chokmah) [sic], by the 
formula of divine madness. aleph, t h e   f o o l   of the tarot, is also the 
mad one. the path of aleph is the path of wisdom or folly."
