First of all - the Abyss that is part of the Qliphoth is NOT to be confused with the Void. We should really try and not say the Void when talking about the Abyss of the Qliphoth.
“Before light came darkness, and before darkness there was the Void.”
The Void is indeed the primordial soup of creation. It is thick darkness.
I was just there. Allowed myself to fall into the darkness of Void and tried to draw it into me to use it in our reality. Saw the thick complete darkness. It was a bit scary since you could not see what was in there, and I have been a bit frightened by the book “The Deplorable word” that says the Void see our physical reality as an abomination and wants to devour it. Also, that book says the Devil, the Dark Mother and other niceties dwell there. Every time I got a bit frightened I redrew from me and I had to chase it, but when I got a taste of it it was yummy. Don’t know if something was protecting me or if it was.
