78 777 REVISED and the visions of Liber 418. The ideas of love and electricity are implicit in this sign, which is ruled by the Moon and in which Jupiter is exalted. Leo is pure yellow, yet with that tinge of green which is characteristic of the purest gold. It suggests the first form of the principle of vegetable growth, implicit in the nature of the Solar ray. Virgo has the yellowish green of young grass. The connection is evident. Libra is emerald green, being pre-eminently the house of Venus. Scorpio is the greenish blue—Prussian blue—whose psychological effect upon the sensitive mind is to suggest a poisonous or putrafactive vibration. It contains the idea of life and death interpenetrating each other and reproducing each other continuously; always with the accompaniment of a certain morbid pleasure. It is the identification which one finds in Swinburne’s best poems: “The Garden of Proserpine,” “Dolores,” “Illicet,” “Anactoria,” and others. The natural correspondence is the blue-green sea.* Sagittarius is blue; being the House of Jupiter, which is blue in the Queen Scale. It is also the blue of the sky, for Sagittarius is the background of the Rainbow symbolism of Q Sh Th. It is further connected with the blue of religious aspiration. It continues the path of Gimel. It is the aspiration from Yesod to Tiphereth as Gimel is from Tiphereth to Kether. Note that the aspiration from Malkuth is dark blue: it being so low on the Tree its purity is to some extent darkned. Capricornus is indigo. The connection is with the colour of Yesod, implying the sexual symbolism of the Goat. Aquarius is violet: this is connected with ATU XVII. Cf. The Book of the Law, I, 61-64. The colour violet, generally speaking, signifies a vibration which is at the same time spiritual and erotic; i.e. it is the most intense of the vibrations alike on the planes of Nephesch and Neschamah. Compare at the other end of the scale the connection between the vibrations of Mars and those of the Sangraal. * [One of Swinburne’s favourite sources of metaphors. — T.S.]
EXPLANATIONS OF THE ATTRIBUTIONS COLUMN XVI: THE QUEEN SCALE This scale represents the first positive appearance of colour: as the King Scale is transparent, the Queen is reflected. (Spectra.) 1-3. In this scale, therefore, we read the appearance of the 32 paths as they are found in Nature. Kether, being previously unconditioned brilliance, is now articulate as white. The grey of Chokmah refers to the cloudy appearance of semen, and indicates the transmission of white to black. It is the double nature of the Dyad. Binah is black, having the faculty of absorbing all colours. In the three Supernals, therefore, we find the 3 possible modifications of light, in its wholeness. Above the abyss there is no separation into colour. 4. Chesed has the blue of water 5. Geburah has the red of fire. 6. Tiphereth the yellow of air. 79 (These being the 3 primary colours of reflected light, as opposed to the violet, green and blue of transparent light.) The colours of the 3rd triad are derived from those of the 2nd by simple admixture. 7. Netzach. Emerald is Chesed and Tiphereth mingled. It is also the colour of Venus. 8. Hod. Orange is Tiphereth and Geburah mingled. 9. Yesod. Violet is Chesed and Geburah mingled Netzach and Hod are naturally the resultant of the two Sephiroth which impinge on them respecitvely, while Yesod represents a secondary effect of the conjunction of Geburah and Chesed, Tiphereth being the primary. Emerald represents the most brilliant aspect of Venus; orange that of Mercury. Violet of the very complex formula synthesizes Yesod in the idea of Luna. Note that Sol and Luna are direct images of the masculine and feminine principles, and much more complete Macrocosms than any other planets. This is explained by their symbols in the Yi King, 5 and 2. Note also that Yesod appears openly, this being the Queen Scale, in the violet robes of the spiritual-erotic vibrations referred to above.
