146 777 REVISED 6 In The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage (lib. II cap. XIX) are tabulated the names of various Evil Spirits: chief among these are the “Four Princes and Superior Spirits”, to wit Lucifer, Leviathan, Satan and Belial who may perhaps be referred to the Elements (I would suggest Fire, Water, Air, Earth respectively); immediately below these are eight “Sub-Princes”, namely Oriens, Paimon, Ariton, Amaimon (vide 777 col. LXVIII), Astarot, Magot, Asmodee and Beelzebud (sic); a total of 316 named spirits are listed below the eight Sub-Princes, some subject to one, some shared between two or more. 7 The Book of the Concourse of the Forces is the title of a collection of Golden Dawn papers loosely based on the “Enochian” material which emerged from the ceremonial skrying of John Dee and Edward Kelly. Crowley later published a terse and incomplete abstract of this material as “A brief abstract of the symbolic representation of the Universe” in Equinox I (7-8). See also Regardie (ed.) The Golden Dawn, vol. IV. 8 This would not be a view generally shared by most serious practitioners and students of Dee and Kelly’s magick. Unless Crowley is talking about the G.D. version of “Enochian Magic” in which case he has a point. Tree of Life diagram 4 Planes: the first consists solely of Kether; the second of Chokmah and Binah; the third of Chesed through to Yesod; the fourth of Malkuth only. These are identified by some with the Four Worlds. 3 Pillars / 7 Planes: see col. XII. 7 palaces: see col. LXXXVII et seq. Notes to Tables of Correspondence Table I (the whole scale) Col. IV. The Arabic, as far as I can tell, means “He is God and there is no other God than he, ﻮه being taken as equivalent to the Hebrew awh. Col. VIII. The numbers after the Qliphoth of the Sephiroth represent which of the seven “palaces” they are referred to: see the arrangements in Col. LXXXVIII et. seq. Transliterations are as given in Crowley’s remarks on this column in 777 Revised, although a few have been altered where they are not consistent with the Hebrew spelling. Col. XIV. These represent G.D. attributions, before Crowley changed the titles of a number of the Trumps in The Book of Thoth and exchanged the attributions of the Star and Emperor based on AL I.57. Col. XIX. Transliterations of Egyptian names have been left as in the first edition. These differ from both modern transliterations and those employed by early 20th-century writers such as Budge. Line 1: Asar is better known by the Hellenized form Osiris; Asar-un-Nefer (“Osiris the beautiful”) was a epiphet or title of this god. Hadith in this line (also Hadit in line 0) is not a historical Egyptian deity but refers to the entity described in cap. II of The Book of the Law; the name is a garbled or corrupt form of Heru- Behutet (Horus of Behutet), a solar-martial form of Horus symbolized by the winged disk. Heru-Ra-Ha is not a historical Egyptian deity but is mentioned in cap. III of The Book of the Law and is said to combine Hoor-par-Kraat (Horus the Child) and Ra-Hoor-Khuit (Ra- Horus of the Two Horizons). Line 6: “On” was not an Egyptian deity but a transliteration into Hebrew (}a or }wa) of the name of the Egyptian solar cult-centre called Heliopolis by the Greeks. The confusion arose through a misreading by Freemasons of Genesis XLI, 45 and 50 where Joseph married “Asenath daughter of Poti-phera priest of On.” ON spelt }o as a formula is another matter entirely; see Col. CLXXXVII. Hrumachis is probably a variant spelling of Harmachis (Hor- Maku), said by Budge (Gods of the Egyptians vol. I p. 470) to be the Greek name for Heru- Khuti, Horus of the two horizons, who represented the sun from sunrise to sunset. Line 13: Chomse also spelt Khons or Khensu. In one legend (cited by Budge, op. cit. I, 448) he is said to be the son of the cat goddess Bast who was also associated with the moon. Lines 16, 32-bis: Ahapshi is the Apis Bull (GD Coptic spelling). Ameshet is Amset (or Mestha), one of the Children of Horus.
TRANSCRIBER’S ENDNOTES Line 17: The Rekti goddesses and Merti goddesses both appear to have been specific titles or epiphets of Isis and Nephthys. See above for Heru-Ra-Ha. Line 19: Pasht (according to Budge, op. cit. I, 517) is Pekh or Pekhit, a minor lioness goddess. Mau is onomatopœic Egyptian for ‘cat’ and appears to have been an epiphet of Ra. Line 22: Ma more usually spelt Maat or Ma’at. Lines 23, 31: Auramoth and Thoum-aesh-neith were never Egyptian deities but were names constructed on Qabalistic principles by the Golden Dawn to refer to water and fire; similarly the name Tarpesheth (Tharpesht) is unknown prior to G.D. material, although she appears to be a hybrid of Bast and Sekhet. Hekar is possible Hequet or Hekt. Line 24: Typhon was a Titan in Greek myth (son of Tartaros and Gaia), probably a personification of destructive forces of nature, who was identified with Set in late classical times. Add Selket, whose symbol was the scorpion. The attribution of Khephra is explained by Crowley’s remarks on this line in the “Animals” column. Line 25: Add Neith (Net) who is traditionally depicted with a bow and arrows. Line 26: Khem is identified by Budge (op. cit., I, 97) with the phallic god Min or Amsu, and was identified by the Greeks with Pan. Line 28: Ahephi is Hapi, one of the Children of Horus. Line 29: Add Hequet (Hekt). Line 31: Kabeshunt is probably Qebhsennuf, one of the Children of Horus. Line 32: Mako (or Makou), son of Set, is a mythological crocodile; the name appears in the Harris Magic Papyrus (19th or 20th Dynasty), in the course of a charm against crocodiles addressed to Shu. In the Golden Dawn Z1 paper the Children of Horus or Canopic Gods had ‘invisible stations’ in the corners of the Temple. The most immediate source for the elemental attributions, though, is 147 the Golden Dawn paper on “Enochian Chess” where the four pawns of each side are referred to these God-forms. It is not clear why Crowley omitted Tuamutef for Water (a G.D. Coptic form of this name is cited in connection with the “Eagle Kerub” in a ritual in Equinox I (3)). In a myth recounted by Budge (op. cit. vol. I p. 158) these gods are said to have grasped the four pillars of heaven as sceptres: Amset the South, Hapi the North, Tuamutef the East, and Qebhsennuf the West. They were also said to guard the Canopic Jars in which the internal organs of the deceased were preserved, and their G.D. attributions to the cross-quarters probably derive from a single find of an Egyptian tomb which had the four jars with the images of the gods disposed thus. Col. XX. Line 23: Possibly a G.D. Coptic spelling of Ashtoreth (Astarte, Asherah) who according to Budge (op. cit.) was worshipped in Egypt in the later dynastic period. Line 25: A G.D. Coptic spelling of Aroueris. Col. XXI. All this is derived from the famous speech in cap. 42 of the Book of the Dead. Some minor errors have been corrected. The Planets are referred to the face according to the attributions in Agrippa (tom. II cap. x); hence the duplication of left and right eye, ear and nostril. Line 15: Budge has “hands.” Line 32 bis: Alim Chayyim, “the living Gods.” Col. XXIII. “Nothing and Neither P nor p'”) and “Beaten and Scattered Corpse” each denote two different meditations. Col. XXXIV. Line 13: Add Selene who was a personification of the Moon as distinct from the goddesses with lunar aspects such as Artemis, Hekate, etc. Similarly Helios was a personification of the Sun. See Betz (ed). The Greek Magical Papyri in Translation. Col. XXXV. Agrippa (De occ. phil. tom II cap xiv) in his “Orphic Scale of the Number Twelve” refers the twelve principle gods of Rome to the Zodiac:
