lm'J3 Tribe of Benjamin. "son of the right
hand" [Genesis 49:27]. Related to Sagittarius and
alchemical incineration, the 9th stage of the Great
Work. Attributed to the letter Samekh, the
direction west above, the mental state of zeal or
wrath. Incineration is accomplished through the
knowledge and conversation of the Holy
Guardian Angel. It is the purging and refinement
of the desire nature, which then becomes the
great medicine. Incineration is the process which
consumes the dross of erroneous thinking. It rids
subconsciousness of the subtle residue of the
thoughts, feelings and action of former lives,
leftover from the stage of putrefaction. The sense
of separate personality is reduced to absolute
nothingness of blackness. Then the idea is
substituted that what ever goes on in the field of
personal expression is really the reflection of the
one reality. Then events in the field of personal
experience are found to be direct operations of
the one identity. In Jacob's blessing, the words
addressed to Beniamin bear on hunting, a
characteristic of Sagittarius. Hunting and inquiry
are akin. To hunt for clues, to seek for evidence,
to examine, to study, to consider-all these are
part of the process of verification and experiment
of which Key 14 is the Tarot symbol. Jupiter,
which rules Sagittarius is connected with
research. see 536, 830, 395, 259, 466, 54, 95,

The Voice of God [Psalm 29:3,
Deuteronomy 1551. In the passage in
Deuteronomy, the children of Israel are
cautioned to "Harken carefully" to the voice. It is
the voice of the Hierophant in Key 5, and 5 is the
reduction of Key 14. Every seeker for truth hears
that still, small voice. Not all of them know what
they hear; but their successes depend of careful
listening. see 186, 800, 120,600.

Goetia: "He is a Mighty President and earl, and
shows himself in the from of a dog with wings
like a gryphon. He teaches all arts and sciences

come. If desired he causes the love both of
friends and foes. He can make a man to go

Legions of Spirits." [Mathers, 1995, p. 391
