EXPLANATIONS OF THE ATTRIBUTIONS
IN THE MORE IMPORTANT COLUMNS OF TABLES I-VI.
COLUMN I: THE KEY SCALE
In order to understand thoroughly the Key Scale, the student should
have mastered the Essay on the Qabalah, (Equinox I (5), pp. 72-89), and
acquainted himself with the use of Liber D (Equinox, I (8),
Supplement).*
It should be sufficient therefore in this place to explain simply the
significance of the symbols of this scale.
The numbers 000 to 10 are printed in heavy block type. They refer
to the three forms of Zero and the ten Sephiroth or numbers of the
decimal scale. The diagram shows the conventional geometrical
arrangement of the symbols 1-10. The numbers 11-32 correspond to the
22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet. They are attributed to the paths
which join the Sephiroth. Their arrangement is shown in the same
diagram. 31 and 32 must be supplemented by 31-bis and 32-bis, as these
two paths possess a definitely double attribution; viz. 31-bis to Spirit as
against 31 to Fire; 32-bis to Earth as against 32 to Saturn.
The numbers 11, 23, 31, 32-bis, 31-bis are printed close to the left
edge of the column for convenience of reference, they referring to the 5
elements.
12, 13, 14, 21, 27, 30, 32 are printed in the centre of the column: they
refer to the planets.
15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 24, 25, 26, 28, 29 are printed on the right-hand
edge of the column. They refer to the signs of the Zodiac.

other Qabalistic Writings), the former under the spurious title “Gematria,” the latter in
a slightly abridged form. — T.S.]
