Gematria - Sepher Sapphires Volume 1.pdf

Egyptian word abr, 'ambrosia, 'ointment', and
from aft, meaning 'exuding', 'distilling'.
The magical powers of Path 26 relate to the
Witches Sabbath and the Evil Eye. The Evil Eye
is the Eye of Night (i.e. the moon), and the
ointment, unguent, or myrrh-dropping is the
Vinum Sabbati prepared at sundown in the
cauldron of the Scarlet Woman. Capricorn is the
Secret Flame whereon the cauldron seethes,
hence its connection with Vesta.
The disease typical of this kala is priapism, and
the animals sacred to it are the oyster, the goat,
and the ass. The latter is the specific totem of the
female and of the qliphoth associated with the
Moon of Yesod, the Gamaliel or 'Obscene Ass'.
The tunnel of A'ano'nin is haunted by satyrs,
fauns, and panic demons, and the Order of
Qliphoth associated with it is the Dagdqgiron,
meaning 'the Fishy', which denotes the feminine
nature. The corresponding Magical Weapon is
the Secret Force represented by the shuttered
lamp, which is an allusion to the eye concealed
in the buttocks of the goat.
The Tarotic attribution of this Path 26 is the
trump entitled The Devil, The Lord of the Gates
of Matter; for the lunar current is the menstruum
of reification which seethes within the Cup of
Babalon. She is the Bride of Choronzon for he is
in truth Lord of the Gates of Matter. According
to Liber 231:
The Lord Khem arose, He who is holy
among the highest, and set up his
crowned staff for to redeem the universe.
This means that Set or Pan erects the phallus to
redeem the universe. The Black Diamond is the
secret symbol of this operation which involves
the gross powers of generation, for the diamond
glitters in the darkness of matter as the Eye of
Set. [Grant, 1994, pp. 228-232.1
oculus, trygono, gloria (Lt). eye, triangle, glory.
Pictured on the reverse of the Great Seal of the
U.S. The No-thing finds expression as
appearance (the eye), as the three supernals (the
triangle), and as the radiant energy which is the
substance of all things and, at the same time, the
gravitation of weight which holds together the
world of name and form (the glory). see 8 1, 100,

5 + 1 The head (Resh) of man + the word
meaning "to lay bare, to denude, to strip of
concealment; to open a book." Enlightenment
opens the head of man to an influx of radiant
energy from the heart, connected with Resh.
"Then shall the vision of thy Lord be granted
unto thee, and seeing him shalt thou behold
the shining one, who is thine own true self'.
[Book of Tokens, Samekh]
"Yea, in that day, shalt thou sing unto the Lord a
new Song, A song of rejoicing in his beautiful
countenance, the face of thine own true self."
[Book of Tokens, Resh]
5m Rachal. Wife of Jacob and mother of
Joseph and Benjamin. The Standard Bible
Dictionary (pp.759-760) states that "In the
patriarchal narrative 'Rachel' undoubtedly has a
tribal as well as personal significance, for about
her are grouped five northern tribes-Ephraim,
and Manasseh (= Joseph), Benjamin, Dan and
Naphtals." These correspond respectively, in
alchemy to Taurus and coagulation, Aquarius
and dissolution, Sagittarius and incineration,
Scorpio and putrefaction and Virgo and
distillation. Inman says Rachel means "a nursing
mother". This is appropriate, for she is associated
with a cycle of 7 and with processes that nurture
the soul towards illumination. Jacob means
"supplanter". see 182,33 1,395, 162, 54,570.

5 Barzel. Iron, metal of Mars. Aesch
Mezareph: "Barzel, Iron; in the Natural Science,
this Metal is the middle Line, reaching from one
extreme to the other. This is that male and
Bridegroom, without whom the Virgin is not
impregnated. This is that Sol, Sun or Gold of the
wise en, without whom, the moon will be
always in Darkness. He that know his Rays,
works in the day, others grope in the night ...
And this is that mystic thing, which is written
Daniel 7:5, 'And behold another Beast, a second
like unto a Bear, stood on its one side, and it had
three Ribs standing out in his Mouth, between
his Teeth; and thus they said unto it: Arise, eat
much Flesh.' The meaning is, that in order to
constitute the Metallic Kingdom, in the second
