the origin of these words which, coming from
the same root appears so different in
signification: IlN being and In wine, of which
the Greek analogous offer the same
phenomenon: ov being, and otvoo, wine.
... it is by an almost inevitable consequence of
this double sense attached to the word In, that
the cosmogonic personage called Atovuooq
Dionysus, by the Greek, has finally designated
for the vulgar, only the god of wine, after having
been the emblem of spiritual light; and that the
same word which we use has become such, only
as a result of the same degradation of the sense
which was attached to it, a degradation always
coincident with the hardening of the mother
vowel: for, from the word r, is formed the
Teutoic wein, the Latin vinum, and the French
vin." [d701ivet, 1976, pp. 264-265.1
111. "Noah transmutes downward his "Eesh"
[ttnN, 31 11 quality of fire by becoming Eesh
(husband) to Adamah v, 501 (the earth).
The earth reproduces this fire as wine (the wine
as symbol expressed that fact, as the Qabalah
well knows).
Genesis 9:21. The strange fruit of the nuptials
between Eesh (as man-fire) and Adamah is Yeen
[In] a doble existance in the number 700. [Final
Nun, 1 = 7001 ... This Yeen is a sort of tornado in
which anything can happen. The English word
wine is the Hebrew word scarcely modified, so
also is the Latin (incidentally, it is not generally
realized how may of our words derive from, or
are, the Hebrew ones).
This verse exemplifies the fact that the symbols
of blood and wine belong to the same category.
Having drunk, Noah-as is expected if his name
n3, is understood-loses his Adamaic quality and
sinks unto an unevolved state. The relationship
between him and Adamah is all to Adamah's
advantage. Noah's consciousness now lapses into
the unconsciousness of undifferentiated cosmic
life and uncovers the true significance of this
Noah whose numbers reveal that he is a life not
yet entered into the process of evolution (he falls
asleep with his genitals uncovered)." [Suraes,

5.5 night (literally, a twist away from light). A
variant of 35.5 (75). Said in Genesis to be
God's own name for 21Vn khoshek, darkness. The
symbolism of Key 15, which corresponds to
Ayin and 70, is a representation of darkness. It is
a picture of the dark night of the soul, and of the
adversity.

213tJ'l 272 Gog ve-Magog. A name given to a
race or people inhabiting some part of the
northern region. Gog is used in 1 Chronicles
5:4; Magog appears in Genesis 10:2. The names
"Gog and Magog", only appear together in the
Greek of the apocalypse of John, where they are
used as symbolic terms for the world as hostile
to God's people and kingdom. In [Revelations
20:8] "And [the Adversary] will go forth to
deceive those nations which are in the four
corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to
assemble them together for war; whose number
is as the sand of the sea."
I. D'Olivet renders Magog as "elasticity", or
"elastic stretching power." "The root of
which expresses a movement being opposed to
itself, indicates in the word 212 an extension
continued, elastic, pushed to its utmost limits.
This word governed by the sign of exterior
action B, characterizes that faculty of matter, by
which it is extended and lengthened, without
there being any solution of continuity."
