72 777 REVISED antinomies. There is a great danger in arguing backwards in the Qabalah, especially in the case of attributions of this sort. Thus the explanation of the martial nature of water must not be used to argue a watery nature in Mars, whose natural sympathy is evidently Fire. It would be supremely misleading to try to obtain any information about the nature of Mars from this column. It is almost impossible to suggest any rule for avoiding errors of this sort. The best I can do is to recommend the student never to lose sight of the fact that all attributions whatsoever have no absolute quaility. The object is really to remind the student of what he already knows about any given idea and its relation with the rest. He should therefore determine for himself the nature of any idea principally by meditation or direct magical investigation, such as actual visions. He may accept provisionally the validity of correspondences so far as they indicate the best methods of invocation and evocation. Having thus firmly established in his head the correspondences of a symbol, he is less likely to misinterpret it, or to assign a new importance to any known correspondence such as is found in the latter part of this column. He will take the planetary rulers here given as little more than suggestions for memorizing minor details of the nature of the Zodiac. It would evidently be absurd to set up an antinomy between the statement in this column that Saturn and Mercury are the rulers of Libra with the statement elsewhere that Libra is ruled by Venus and Saturn exalted therein. There is, however, a certain partial sympathy between the columns. Thus Sol is exalted in Aries, Luna in Taurus, Mercury rules Gemini, and Sol Leo. In the case of Virgo, however, neither Venus nor Luna appear either as its ruler or as exalted therein. A profitable meditation might develop in some such way as follows:— Question: Why should Venus and Luna not be given as rulers of Virgo? Virgo is suggested as the Virgin Isis, Luna as sympathetic with solitude, purity and aptitude for reflection of the Hermit, ATU IX. Venus, again, as Binah, the recipient of Wisdom, represents one aspect of Virgo. So too does the earthy
EXPLANATIONS OF THE ATTRIBUTIONS nature of Venus in her aspect of Demeter. In this way an attribution, which at first sight is puzzling, may assist the student to harmonize many ideas which appear at first sight incompatible. The case of Venus is germane to the argument (note that the symbol of Venus is the only planetary symbol which includes all ten Sephiroth). Venus is astrologically used as a synthetic term for the feminine aspect of the Deity. She then has many parts, Vesta, Ceres, Cybele, Isis, etc. The main distinction to be borne in mind is that with Luna; and the task is all the more difficult in that the symbols continually overlap. It is by harmonizing and transcending such difficulties that the student arrives at a metaphysical conception which is perfectly positive and lucid on the one hand, and on the other emancipated from the bondage of the Laws of Contradiction. Luna = Gimel = 3. Trivia is one of the titles of Diana. The ife of woman is naturally divided into three parts: before, during, and after the age of menstruation. (1) The Virgin, (2) the Wife and Mother, (3) the Hag. In (3) the woman can no longer fulfil her natural functions, which therefore turn to the malignity of despair. Hence the identification of the Hag with the Witch. (1) is represented by Diana, the virgin huntress (legends of Atalanta, Endymion, Pan, Actaeon, Persephone, etc.), Hebe, Pallas Athene, Pythia and the Sybils, etc. The function of the virgin is inspirational. (2) is connected with Venus, Ceres, Cyble, Kwannon or Kwanseon, Sekhet, Hathor, Kali, Aphrodite, Astarte, Ashtoreth, Artemis of the Ephesians, and many other female deities. (3) is a wholly malignant symbol. Hecaté and Nahema are the principal representatives of the idea. Note that there are certain demons of the nature of Venus Aversa, symbolical of the evil caused by distorting or suppressing this principle. Such are Echidna, Lilith, the outraged Aphrodite for the Hyppolytus, the Venus of the Hørsel in Tannhäuser, Melusina, Lamia, some aspects of Kali, Kundry, possibly the malicious side of Queen Mad and the Fairy nature generally. 73
