?'$? to cover with wings, to fly, fly away; to
flicker. With different pointing: fowl, bird,
winged creature. In Genesis 1:20: "And Elohim
said 'let the waters bring forth abundantly the
moving creature that has life, and fowl [birds]
that may fly, above the earth in the open
firmament of heaven."
I. "Fowl ... this expression, which depends still
upon the verb 'I-, shall spring forth, and
which is connected with the substantive Om,
the waters, proves that Moses regarded the
waters as specially charged with furnishing the
first elements of vital movement to reptilian and
flying animals. The root pl, of which is spoke
above and the one now in question, are both
linked to the same motive principle designated
by the root %'; but whereas, by pl, should be
understood, a laborious movement attached to
the earth, by TlP, should be seen, an easy,
soaring movement in the air. The one is heavy
and rapid, the other light and swift. Both receive
existence from the vital principle brought forth
by the waters." [d'olivet, 1976, p. 50-5 1 .]
11. According to Westcott, this is one of three

of a Bird upon his Back, the four Wings are two
Birds, which exasperate this Beast with their
Feathers, to the intent he may enter and fight
with the Bear and Lion; altho' of himself he be
volatile and biting enough, and venomous like a
Winged Serpent and Basilisk. And the Beast had
four Heads; in which Words are understood four
Natures lurking in his Composition, i.e., white,
red, green, and watery.
Andpower was given him over the other Beasts,
i.e., the Lion and the Bear, that he may extract
their gluten or Blood." [Westcott, 1997, p. 251

1. Aesch Mezareph: "But that thou mayest know,
that Tiphareth, of the degree of Geburah, is
understood; know thou, that number being added
to the whole, is also contained in Isaac [208],
which is like manner is of the classis of Gold.
The City of that King [Tiphareth] is called Pegno
[pau], Brightness, from its Splendor, according
to Deuteronomy 33:2 which name, and the name
Joseph (by which Yesod is meant, have the same
number, 156). That you may know that Argent
vive is required to the Work; and that the Royal
Beauty doth reside out of this Splendid City."
[Westcott, 1997, p. 401
11. Deuteronomy 33:2: "And he said, the Lord

Her number is 156, which is the number of
shrines in the City of the Pyramids. Babalon
means, literally, the Gateway of the Sun, or
solar-phallic power. But Babalon is not only the
medium of the solar force, she is the inspirer of
its energy. At the height of her Rite she becomes
oracular and endowed with magical siddhis
(powers). [Grant, 1994, p. 259.1
centrum naturae (Lt). center of nature. Refers to
Tiphareth as the seat of the human ego. The Ego
is the Center of every person's universe. With the
opening of the third eye, the centrum naturae
becomes for man what it is for God. It is if the
centers of 2 circles where make to coincide.
Then the personal circle corresponds perfectly to
the divine. The radius of the personal circle is
finite; that of the divine circle is infinite. Their
centers are one.
I. "I have sought; I have found; I have often
purified; and I have joined together; I have
matured it: then the golden tincture has followed,
which is called the Center of Nature (hence so
many opinions, so may books, so may parables).
It is the remedy, I openly declare it, for all
metals, and for all sick persons. The solution of
the God." [Waite, 1974, vol. 1, p. 551
