n27 rtC7 The Lord is his memorial [Hosea
1251. Zikero means: memory, resemblance;

"Keeper" in Canticles 1 :5: "Do not look at me
because I have dark skin, because the sun has
tanned me; my mother's sons contended with me;
they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but
my own vineyard I have not kept. In [Nahum
1 :2] "God is zealous, and the Lord is avenging;
the Lord is avenging and is furious; the Lord will
take vengeance on his adversaries, and he keeps
wrath for his enemies."
Sepher Sephiroth: nitre [Crowley, 1977, p. 301.
Nitre is potassium nitrate or saltpeter, and
ingredient in gunpowder, otherwise called
natron. In earlier times it was supposed be the an
nitrous element in the air or in plants. Written
VJ in Jeremiah 2:22: "Although you wash
yourself with soda, and use an abundance of
soap, the stain of your guilt is still before me,
declares the sovereign Lord." see 650.
I?FI? The flaming sword [Genesis 3:24].
Understood to be a symbol for the holy influence
(Mezla, 78), descending from sephirah to
sephirah through the Tree of Life. It has the same
basic meanin as the flash of lighting of Key 16.
Note that r;l 5 = 44 = a? (blood). = 215
= (a narrow way) = Ill! (to irradiate, to rise
[as the sun]). The magical force is in the blood. It
is called the flaming sword in the story of the fall
of man, because that story refers to the descent
of consciousness from higher and inner planes to
the physical. The sword "turns every way"
because it is the fire force in the blood-stream,
circulating through our bodies, and therefore
turning every direction. It keeps us out of Eden,
for the time being, so that we may gain
knowledge of the physical plane. Yet this same
force in our blood is what we must learn to use
in order to overcome the delusions which cause
all our difficulties. Lawhat, (flaming) means
306
also magical, or the force of enchantment.

01 ~EC(E~IO~. hoi themelioi (Gr). the foundations.

to contract or draw together; to be exact.
With different pointing: to compress, to
condense, to reduce, stint, to be united, be
restricted. Designates the process which initiates
a cycle of the Life-power's manifestation, at the
interior center (Kether). Thus it makes the field,
or vineyard, wherein the universe is established.
This is the technical Qabalistic term indicating
the fundamental process of manifestation-the
contraction of 710 1'N into Kether being
the first stage. Compare with eastern doctrine of
privaton as method of manifestation. see 166, 46,
36,252, 3 15, 154,224, 266, 3 14,29, 700.
