Tm Enoch. Initiated. Proper name Enoch, the
patriarch who "walked with God." see 564.
I. D'Olivet renders Genesis 4:17: "And Kain
knew Aisheth (his intellectual companion, his
volitive faculty): and she conceived and brought
forth (the existence of) Henoch (founder, central
energy). Then he built a spherical enclosure
(stronghold) and he called the name of this
spherical enclosure after the name of his son
Henoch. (p. 323)
11. He comments: ... again I urge the reader to
give close attention to the proper names; for to
them Moses attaches great importance. The
greater part of the hieroglyphic mysteries are
now in form of these names. The one referred to
in this passage, is composed to the two roots Itn
and 'I#. The first fn, characterize proper,
elementary existence: it is a kind of
strengthening of analogous root V, more used,
and which designates things in general. The
second 'IN, contains the idea of every
compression, of every effort that the being
makes upon itself, or upon another. For the
purpose of fixing itself or another. The verb
which comes from these two roots:
signifies to fix, to found, to institute, to arrest any
existence whatsoever.
It is from a composition quite similar, that the
personal pronoun 3124, myseK in Hebrew
results; that is to say 1H or ffl, the finished,
corporeal being, founded, ' in me."

111. "A symbol of the individuality; that part of
the soul which survives physical and astral
dissolution, or the first and second deaths, and is
immortal." [Gaskell, 198 1, p. 250.1

to see, to know, to know carnally,
perceive, consider. The root of m, Da'ath. Its
1" two letter spell 7, Yod (hand) and Ayin
which means human eye. Therefore to know
means to touch and see. First of the occult
axioms: to know, to will, to dare, to be silent.
With different pointing: 1. to appoint, assign; 2.
to be known, be familiar. In Genesis 4: 1 "Adam
knew his wife Eve, and she conceived ..." see
474,503,20,701,130,708
Pm was silent, to be silent, to be still, to wait
in silence; to stop, stand still; to be struck dumb.
A reminder of the last, and therefore most
emphatic of the four ancient occult axioms. To
know, will, dare and be silent. "Be still, and
know that I am God." see 86
Pt?f'l a dream. "Then shall the vision of thy
Lord be granted unto thee" [Book of Tokens,
Samekh]. Signifies revelation of knowledge in
the silence of night.
M75H Alchemy; the science of personality
transmutation and the art of physical
regeneration through union with God. Note that
this word is composed of two other words ?H
(strength, a name of God), and a, Khammah,
the Sun. Note that ~ f'l?~ ilkhame, is the modem
Hebrew verb meaning "to alchemize." see 53.
Case: Alchemy is m - h , wherefore, on p. 75
of this work [Hermetic Mystery and Alchemy,
by Mrs. Atwood-A Suggestive Inquiry], those
who pin the narrow name of Chemia to this
science are denounced as imposters. For though
this is the science and art which deals with what
hearers calls the operation of the sun , it is
altogether misunderstood if it be limited to the
sun m). Unless 5~ (3 1) be conjoined to iPIl
(53), the art is not truly named. Therefore is ?W
the symbol of the one manifested through the
three, while m signifies the manifestation of
the three through the five. The ONE is the first
matter; the three are the principles, Sulphur,
Mercury and Salt; the five are the four elements
and the quintessence extracted from them.
Therefore does the name alchemy represent that
which by the wise is declared to be One which is
also three, four and five (since ?W = 31 = 4, and
m=
53 = 8). The 4 may be symbolized as the
+ of the elements (with the quintessence at the
center). The eight is no where better symbolized
than by the numeral 8, which discloses the secret
of its movement. Finally, a + 5~ = 84 = the
conjunction of 8, the number of Hermes or
Mercury with 4, the number of Jupiter, of Zeus.
Here in may be found the whole mystery of the
Tetragrammaton (4) and Christ (8). And the
conjunction of the new Jerusalem, and of the
ancient Egyptian symbol [3-4-5 triangle] wherein
the whole mystery of the art is synthesized;
