Gematria - Sepher Sapphires Volume 1.pdf

The sigil of Saksaksalim shows the figure of a
priest (with arms extended in the form of a cross)
hanging upside down in an irregularly bound
void in which appear the letters 120 (280) and
an inverted figure 7. The void is sealed by the
image of a black lunar crescent emitting streams
of blood. This sigil resumes the ideas relating the
magical siddhi of the 25th path, i.e.
Transmutations and the Vision of the Universal
Peacock. The peacock is a symbol of Shaitan and
comports the rainbow symbolism previously
explained, thus showing the feminine nature of
the transforming fire of this kala.
The number 280 is that of 81, meaning 'terror'. It
is also the number of squares on the side of the
Vault containing the body of Christian
Rosencreutz in the Golden Dawn symbolism of
the 5" = 6" Grade, which should be studied in
connection with the symbolism of this tunnel.
The relevant verse from Liber 231 reads: And a
mighty angel appeared as a woman, pouring
vials of woe upon the flames, lighting the pure
stream with her brand of cursing. And the
iniquity was very great.
The Angel as the woman cursing represents the
feminine current symbolized by Nephthys, the
sister of Isis. Nephthys is the reifier or
transmitter of perfection; the art of transforming
raw (i.e. virgin) nature into the image of
fulfillment or motherhood.
The Order of Qliphoth associated with this
process is the Nechashiron, or Snakey, and the
Atu of Tahuti attributed to Kala 25 is
appropriately entitled The Bringer Forth of Life.
In the African pantheon, Aidowedo -the rainbow
goddess - is the cognate deity. Her coming is
likened to the lightning-flash. This is the
Sagittarian influence manifesting in the form of
the female current. 'Her fetish is a large serpent
that appears only when it wants to drink. It then
rests its tail on the ground and thrusts its mouth
into the water. It is said that 'he who finds the
excrement [menstrual] of this serpent is rich
forever'. [Grant, 1994, pp. 226-227.1
Micah 6:10]. The secret alchemical fire is the
entity with all things, and the foundation of all
life and form. Aleph is the Life-breath or Spirit
and Shin corresponds to the element fire and has
the same numerical value as the "Life-breath of
the Creative Powers." Both Aleph and Shin are
mother letters. see 53, 44, 444, 256, 471, 360,
300.
I. "This root is symbol of the elementary
principle whatever it may be. It is the root %,
what the circular line is to the straight line. The
signs which constitute it are those of power and
of relative movement. In a very broad sense it is
every active principle, every center unfolding a
circumference, every relative force. In a more
restricted sense it is fire considered in the
absence of every substance.
The Hebraic genius confounds this root with the
root PN, and considers in it all which is of the
basis and foundation of things; that which is
hidden in its principle; that which is absolute,
strong, unalterable, as the appearance of fire.
The Arabic designates that which moves with
agiliw, vehemence. This idea ensues necessarily
from that attached to the mobility of fire."

TSl the rock (a divine name). The English of
Deuteronomy 32:4 prints this with a capital "R"
to show that it is a divine name. This is the rock
"that begat thee (360). The inner meaning is that
the life of the personal man is essentially one
with the prototypical life of the Cosmic Self. The
inner man is begotten, not made, being of one
substance with the father, by whom all things
were made. He shares in the divine nature
whence he proceeds.
