?ID Letter name Peh. the mouth as organ of
speech; speech, saying, command, orifice,
opening; edge (of sword);extremity, end; womb;
border, mouthful, portion, part. Peh is associated
Mars and with Key 16, the Tower and the 27th
Path of Wisdom, the Exciting Intelligence. Peh
connects Netzach (desire) and Hod (intellect) on
the Tree of Life and is the northern face of the
Cube of Space. see 80,899.
I. Peh represents the Mars force, or the principle
of action and is attributed the Mouth as an organ
of speech. The No-Thing (Ain Suph) establishes
apparent limitation (Key 15, Capricorn place of
Mars exaltation) by the utterance of its Creative
Thought. Thought. This utterance is the active
principle of manifestation and the power which
constitutes the framework of creation (Key 4,
Mars in Aries). The ground of similarity among
all forms of cosmic manifestation (Key 13, Mars
in Scorpio).
The paths of Daleth and Teth cross Gimel above
Tiphareth, but the third reciprocal path of Peh
crosses the path of Samekh below Tiphareth.
Now see a subtlety. Peh, is 85, and this goes
back to 4 through 13, so that the path of Peh,
veils Daleth again. Thus all the horizontal paths
are feminine, even though the path of Peh is
related to Mars, and the ruling power in the path
of Teth is the Sun. see 11.

Peh is 85, or 5 times 17. It is the sign of the
multiplication of goodness by the vision of the
Constituting Intelligence which is Heh, or 5. see
89, 10, 17, 170 & C.27.
mOq Basis, foundation. Feminine form of the
Yesod. Establishment of seeming limitation is
the result of the operation of the feminine aspect
of reality, the feminine foundation. Compare
beten, the womb and ameka (61), thy mother.
TOR ha-Yesod. the foundation. Refers to
Yesod on the Tree of Life. see 80.
heap, ruin. As the name a city, it is
translated Ai. The prefix H perhaps is considered
as the definite article.
7m to clothe, to gloriQ, steadfast; to bind
about, to gird; steadfastness, constancy. The
No-Thing establishes apparent limitation within
itself by circumscribing a field of manifestation
in which to express its infinite potencies.
v'll Boaz. The black pillar of severity set
before Solomon's temple. A variant spelling
referred to in the Sephirah Hod. v3 is the
scripture spelling. See 79 and 1 Kings 7:22.
PWI to route, to confuse, to impel, to drive, to
put into strong action; to disturb; to bring into
confusion, to confound. The No-Thing disturbs
its own perfect rest in order to manifest its
potencies, and sets up intense activities within
the field of seeming limitation it establishes in
itself. The primary manifestations are chaotic,
disturbed and confused, yet order eventually
evolves out of the primary chaos.
IX-35 "heart of the stone" [Ezekiel 1 1 : 191. In
the passage ?I is affixed to 1%. A Qabalistic
liberty has been exercised here. "And I will take
the stoney heart out of their flesh." The "stoney
heart" is a symbolic of the sense of separateness
pictured by the Key 16, the Tower.
)?'a2 bowl, a goblet; the calyx of a flower. The
cup on the Magician's table, and the flowers in
his garden. The "cup" is the creative pattern in
the Universal Mind. Its connection with Peh
intimates that the power of articulate sound has
power akin to the Briatic world of cups.
