94 777 REVISED the Eld of the All-Father. See Liber 418 in The Equinox, I, 5. 24. Mars, as Ruler of Scorpio. Mors, because of ATU XIII. 25. Diana, as bearing bow and arrows. Iris, because of the rainbow. 26. Vesta is here attributed because of Capricorn being the secret flame. The other gods refer to the erect phallus. 28. Juno, Lady of Air. Æolus, God of the Winds. The month of February, when the Sun is in Aquarius, was traditionally sacred to Juno. 29. Neptune, because Pisces is a watery sign. COLUMN XXXVIII: ANIMALS, REAL AND IMAGINARY 0. The Dragon represents Draco connected with Nuit in the Heaven; Ananta, the great serpent which surrounds the Universe. It devours its own tail, thereby reducing it to Zero. 1. The Swan as representing Aum. See Liber LXV, Cap. II, 17-25. See also The Book of Lies, Cap. XVII. The Hawk pertains to Kether, as poised in the ether and beholding all things. Remember that Kether is primarily the individual point of view. The Soul beholds all things and changes the place according to its going. Thus in the Egyptian tradition the Hawk is the symbol of the highest type of Godhead. 3. The Bee is the traditional attribution of the Yoni. 4. Again, traditional. It is probably connected with the erect phallus of Amoun. The Unicorn is also Jupiterean, as connected with the horse of Sagittarius. 5. The Basilisk represents Geburah on account of its power of slaying with the flame of its glance. 6. The Phoenix on account of its symbolism of the 5°=68 grade. Lion, as the typical animal of Sol. Child, as Vau of Tetragrammaton. The Spider is particularly sacred to Tiphereth. It is written that she “taketh hold with her hands and is in kings’ palaces.”* (The most characteristic title of Tiphereth is the “Palace of the King.”) She has six legs† and is in the centre of her web exactly as Tiphereth is in the centre * [Proverbs, XXX. 28.] † [Only because you’ve pulled two off, Aleister. On the Kircher Tree of Life, there are eight paths radiating from Tiphareth. — T.S.]
EXPLANATIONS OF THE ATTRIBUTIONS 95 of the Sephiroth of Ruach. The Pelican represents the Redeemer feeding its children with its own blood, and for this reason it has been chosen as the special symbol of the Brethren of the R & C. 7. Iynx. This attribution is traditional. See Eliphas Levi’s design of the pantomorphous Iynx.* The Raven pertains to Netzach because of the qliphotic attribution in Column VIII. All carrion birds may be attributed here, because of their connection with Victory. Note that the path of Scorpio connects Tiphereth with Netzach. The idea of Venus is intimately connected with that of death, for death is in many important senses a part of love. Compare the Book of Lies, Caps. I, VIII, XV, XVI, and XVIII, etc., etc. 8. Hermaphrodite, as representing the dual nature of Mercury. Jackal, sacred to Anubis. Twin serpents. These represent the Mercurial double current as on the Caduceus. See the interpretation given in the Paris Working. Monokeros de Astris.† This animal is given as the symbolical title of a Practicus. It is the swiftness of his motion which chielfy warrants the attributions. See Liber LXV, Cap. III, v. 2. He seems to combine the masculine and feminine element: on the one hand, the horn and the speed symbolism, on the other his white colour, his silver collar, and its inscription, linea viridis gyrat universa, ‡ which * [Iynx: Grk., Ιυνξ (pl. Ιυγγες), the wryneck: a bird of the woodpecker family which had the misfortune to be used in early Greek love-magick (hence the attribution); but in the Chaldæan Oracles the Iunges appear to have been a group of ministering powers who stood between the theurgist and the Supreme God (see Lewy, Chaldæan Oracles and Theurgy), whence they are cited in the ritual of the Star Ruby. It does not rhyme with “sphinx.” Lévi’s figure of the “pantamorphous Iynx” appears as a plate to his Histoire de la Magie and appears to be an Egyptian goddess, possibly a form of Isis-Hathor. — T.S.] † [Approx., “Unicorn from the Stars.”] ‡ [Lat., “the green line encircles the Universe.” Quoted by Giovanni Pico della Mirandola as a Cabalistic aphorism in his Conclusiones: “cum dicit Salamon in oratione suo in Libro Regnum: Exaudi, o cœlum, per cœlum lineam viridem debemus intelligere quæ gyrat universam” (When Solomon says, in his prayer in the Book of Kings, Hear, o heaven, by heaven we must understand the green line which encircles the universe). There may be a reference to the Dragon Theli spoken of in the Sepher Yetzirah. As Crowley notes elsewhere, the planetary symbol for Venus is the only one which can be plotted on the Kircher Tree of Life without stretching or rearranging the
