place (or country) from which Solomon (Sun)<br />

and Hiram (also associated with the Sun)<br />

brought fine gold [I Chronicles 1:23, 29:4 and 2<br />

Chronicles 8:18, 9:10]. Ophir is another name<br />

for Havilah, from whence cometh gold, In<br />

Alchemy, Gold is a synonym for the Sun. Thus<br />

the archetypal reproductive will-force of<br />

Geburah is one with the gold of illumination.<br />

There is no essential difference between the<br />

force which manifests as will and that which<br />

manifests as the self identification or "I"<br />

reference associated with the Sun, Tiphareth and<br />

the Cardiac Ganglion. The first part of this<br />

Divine name Elohim Gebur further identifies the<br />

reproductive power of Geburah with the<br />

finitizing power of Binah. Geburah is the<br />

recipient of the powers of Binah through the path<br />

of Cheth. In 2 Chronicles 9:10: "And the<br />

servants also of Hurah, and the servants of<br />

Solomon, which brought Gold from Ophir,<br />

brought Algum trees and precious stones."<br />

fmw fortress, castle, citadel. Also the inner<br />

citadel of a King's House. Isaiah 32: 14: "Because<br />

the palaces shall be forsaken; the multitude of<br />

the city shall be left; the forts and towers shall be<br />

dens forever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of<br />

flocks."<br />

2 throne. Aramaic name used in<br />

Qabalistic works as one of the appellations of<br />

Binah. Geburah receives the power or influence<br />

of Binah via the path of Cheth. <strong>Sepher</strong><br />

Sephiroth: a name of Briah [Crowley, 1977, p.<br />

341.<br />

"N'On:! is an immediate emanation from the<br />

world of Atziluth, whose ten Sephiroth are<br />

reflected herein, and are consequently more<br />

limited, though they are still of the purest nature,<br />

and without any admixture of matter.<br />

?~.lnj Nuriel. "Fire. Angel of hailstorms in<br />

Jewish legend. According to the Zohar, Nuriel<br />

governs Virgo. He is 300 parasangs tall and has a<br />

retinue of 50 myriads of angels 'all fashioned out<br />

of water and fire'. The height of Nuriel is<br />

exceeded only by the Erelim; by the watchers; by<br />

Af and Hemiah; and of course by Metatron, who<br />

is the tallest hierarch in heaven-excepting<br />

perhaps Hadraniel and Anafiel. In Gnostic lore,<br />

Nuriel is one of the 7 subordinates to Jehuel,<br />

prince of fire ... As a charm for warding off evil,<br />

Nuriel is also effective. His name is found<br />

engraved on oriental amulets, as noted by<br />

Schrire, Hebrew Amulets." [Davidson, 197 1, p.<br />

Goetia: "He is an earl, and appears in the from of<br />

a monster; but after a while, at the command of<br />

the Exorcist, he puts on the shape of a man. His<br />

office is to make one knowing in astrology,<br />

geometry, and other arts and sciences. He<br />

He changes dead bodies, and puts them in<br />
