P%v naked. Genesis 2:25: "And they were
both naked, the man and his wife, and were not
ashamed before each other." In Key 6, The
Lovers, the alchemical male (Adam) or self-
consciousness, and female (Eve) or

This word ends in a%, water. The first two
letters seem to be from Iflp, to be naked, be bare

of Tokens, Teth and note]. see 101 6.

Goetia: "He is a might Marquis, appearing at
first in the form of a peacock, with great noises.
But after a time he puts on human shape. He can
