terra adamica (Lt). earth of Adam [Secret laib heart, jl ben son, and Yl2 nah beauty,<br />

symbols, page 341. These words are followed by ornament. All these words are related to<br />

the word Azoth, written with A and Z in Roman Tiphareth, of which Yesod is a direct reflection.<br />

characters, Omega in Greek, and Tav in Hebrew. The powers of the automatic consciousness of<br />

Thus A-Z-Omega-Tav, Azoth means "beginning<br />

and end" and is an alchemical name for the<br />

Quinta Essentia. see 1 58, 1223<br />

Yesod are re~roductions of the powers of the<br />

Ego in ~i~hareth. Also 35: "Beautiful heart."<br />

see 80,220,32, 175.<br />

Typhon (Lt). The Greek name of the Egyptian<br />

divinity Set, the personification of the principle<br />

of evil. In Greek mythology Tv+ov the father of<br />

the winds and the son of TYPHOE, with whom<br />

he was sometimes confused. As storms were<br />

ascribed to the agency of giants, the name came<br />

to mean a furious storm, hurricane, typhoon. An<br />

appropriate name for unbalanced force before<br />

equilibration has evolved order into<br />

manifestation. The "age" of giants and dinosaurs.<br />

see 2050, 70 (Greek); 23, 52 (Lt); 861 (Greek)<br />

11. Arthor Redman: Typhon is an aspect or<br />

shadow of Osiris. Typhon is not the distinct evil<br />

principle or Satan of the Jews; but rather the<br />

lower cosmic principle of the divine body of<br />

Osiris (81, 590), the God of them. The true<br />

meaning of the Egyptian myth is that Typhon is<br />

the terrestrial and material envelope of Osiris,<br />

who is the indwelling spirit thereof. In the<br />

Qabalistic system which we call the Tree of Life<br />

this quarternaty of lower principles corresponds<br />

to the four Sephiroth below Tiphareth ... if one<br />

remembers that every anthropomorphic creative<br />

God was with the ancients the Life-giver and the<br />

Death-dealer -0siris and Typhon.. It will be easy<br />

for him to comprehend that Typhon or Apophis<br />

(861) as he was also named was but a symbol of<br />

the lower quaternary, the ever conflicting and<br />

turbulent principles of differentiated chaotic<br />

matter, whether in the universe or in man, while<br />

Osiris symbolized the highest spiritual triad.<br />

nobiscum (Lt). with us. Part of a Rosicrucian<br />

salutation, Deus Nobiscum, pax profitnda. ("God<br />

with us, peace profound") see 13 1,25 1, 329 (Lt).<br />

Moon; [Canticles 6: 101 The Sphere of the Moon.<br />

Lebanah, as white or pale one, identifies the part<br />

of the work associated with Yesod with the<br />

alchemical "White work of the Moon", wherein<br />

is concealed the real secret of building the mystic<br />

temple of regenerated humanity. Formed of 35<br />

Incense connected with the sun and Sunday. The<br />

The heart of the son (Man) are to be found the<br />

source of beauty; 2. That in the aspect of the<br />

anointing oil. Refers to Yesod as a receptacle of<br />

influence flowing down from above. "Asvk (a<br />

form of Aossic), meaning 'chalice', 'calyx', 'part<br />

of a flower'. The flower is the flow-er or flowing<br />

one, i.e. the female in her courses. The chalice of<br />

the flowing one is the vagina of the virgin. The<br />

chalice in the Mysteries is concealed behind the<br />

veil which in its primal and biological sense is<br />

the hymen." [Grant, 1994, p. 19.1<br />

daughter [Psalm 45:13], understanding by<br />

Qabalists to be Malkuth. Yesod may be<br />

conceived as being within Malkuth, the most<br />

external of the Sephiroth.<br />
