Genesis 5:9: "And Enos lived ninety years, and<br />

begat Cainan. Cainan = IF Cain (160) + Nun.<br />

Inman: "This word is probably a variant of 112<br />

Chanan, or Kanan, meaning: he stands upright,<br />

he is set up, equivalent to a Hermes." (i.e. bust of<br />

Mercury set up at a crossroads) [Ancient Faiths,<br />

Vl , p.3821 see 860,9 10.<br />

In<br />

"Baal was gracious." The seventh king<br />

of Edom (45), associated with Yesod; according<br />

to Waite, an arch-demon, corresponding to<br />

Netzach, sphere of Venus and desire. In Genesis<br />

36:38: "And Saul died, and Baal-hanah, the son<br />

of Achbor, reigned in his stead." see 860, 166.<br />

Iq30tS Misin. Angel of the first decanate of<br />

Capricorn ruled by Saturn and indicates qualities<br />

of cautions, judicious and executive. In the<br />

minor tarot arcana it corresponds to the powers<br />

of Chokmah, wisdom functioning in Assiah, the<br />

material world. These powers are those of<br />

conscious life, which begin all cycles of creation,<br />

great and small. The fist decanate of Capricorn is<br />

ruled by Saturn, Showing a connection between<br />

the false appearances of things (Ayin, attributed<br />

to Capricorn) and the consciousness which<br />

makes all things new (Saturn). It is associated<br />

with the stage of the alchemical great work<br />

called fermentation (830, 1 1 12). The angel here<br />

corresponds to the black work of alchemy<br />

wherein the physical body is made fitting<br />

channel for the wisdom of Chokmah, and<br />

recognizing every activity of personal existence<br />

as part of the motion of the universe. When well-<br />

developed, this can bring harmony in the midst<br />

of change; alternation of gain and loss; change of<br />

occupation, and ups and downs of fortune.<br />

Negative alignment intimates discontent;<br />

foolishness in the management of resources and<br />

restricted condition of material affairs. The<br />

angel's name suggest the power of mental<br />

substance (Mem) strengthened by experience<br />

(Samekh) of reproductive energy (Nun),<br />

alignment with the divine will (Yod) to<br />

transmute this energy into its highest use on the<br />

physical plane (Nun). see 860.<br />

5:3 "For the lips of a strange woman drop honey<br />

(as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother<br />

3pp cubic. The secret knowledge concerning<br />

which the hierophant discourses may truly be<br />

called "cubical", for the symbolism of the stone<br />

"For we are strangers before thee, and<br />

sojourners, as were all our fathers: our days on<br />

the earth are as a shadow, and there in none<br />

abiding." Paul Case: no expectation; a spring of<br />

gathering. In the Hebrew Lexicon ?l77?2 is<br />

translated collection, gathering together (of<br />

water), reservoir, pool, hope; ritual bath of<br />

purification. Purity leads to the pool of wisdom.<br />

Iln fearful, trembling; god-fearing, reverent;<br />
