P'N"llfl the prophets. In Amos 3:7: "Surely
the Lord will do nothing, but he reveals his
secret unto his servants the prophets." see 402,

f'rtX1 Hamigin. Hamigin or Gamigin; Goetic
demon by day of the first decanate of Taurus.
The demon's name suggest faulty vision or
reason (Heh), stabilized into reversal of
dependence on universal life (reality) (Mem),
willing itself (Yod) into patterns of memory
(Gimel) which link it to union (Yod) with cycles
of reproductive error (Nun). The first decanate of
Taurus, ruled by Venus has the qualities of
devoted, artistic, sympathetic. The influence of
the demon suggest conscious imbalance resulting
in the opposite negative qualities. This decanate
is also attributed to the 5 of Pentacles, or
Geburah, sphere of Mars, in Assiah, the material
world. When negatively aspected, as here, it can
mean toil unrewarded; loss of money; poverty;
and trouble through lack of imagination and
foresight. The remedy is to welcome change and
desire perpetual transformations instead of
embalming oneself in some set form of
existence. Personal will must be seen as the
instrument of universal will. see 766.
D'Olivet comments on Ofl: "Universalized life:
the vital power of the universe. Onomatopoetic
and idiomatic root, which indicates every kind of
tumultuous noise, commotion, fracas. The
Arabic characterizes, in general, that which is
heavy, painful agonizing. It is literally a burden,
care perplexity. As verb expresses the action of
being disturbed, of interfering, of bustling about
to do a thing." [d'olivet, 1976, p. 33 1 .]
5~51 P% Adam Belial. Arch-demon
corresponding (according to Waite) to Chokmah,
Belial means unprofitable or wicked; Adam
means man or humanity; thus "wicked Man" or
"wicked men". In apocalyptic literature Belial
(under the form of Beliar) is personified and
identified with the Genius of all evil, Satan, and
was formerly of the Order of Virtues, as well as
having been created (as Belair) next after
Lucifer.
Waite: "When the Adam and Eve of Genesis
partook of the forbidden fruit, their fall
confounded the good with the evil cortices, that
of Adam with the male shells of Samel or Adam
Belial ... the nations of the world can be destined
only to return whence they came, and Adam
Belial is obviously not under the law ... to put the
position tersely, the souls of the Israelites were
distributed in the members of the protoplastic
Adam, regarded in his mystical extension
through the four worlds, and the souls of the
gentiles [i.e. "Nations", PTf, 591 in the members
of Adam Belial, belonging to the aversetres."
