the Virgo area in the microcosm.<br />

lnjrP table, board, bread; money-changer's<br />

table. Psalm 23:5: "Thou prepares a table before<br />

me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anoints<br />

my head with oil; my cup runs over."<br />

PrPlY3 Corporeal, incarnating, realized,<br />

materialized. The 29th Path of Qoph. The<br />

adjective mogashem is derived from a verb awl,<br />

gawsham, which means "to rain violently," or<br />

from a noun spelled the same signifying, "a hard<br />

shower." Note Key 18 has for part of its<br />

symbolism a shower of 18 Yods, the total they<br />

represent is 10 x 18, or 180. This is the number<br />

of degrees in a semicircle, and, because the sun<br />

follows the apparent path of a semicircle from<br />

east to west during the course of a day, the<br />

number 180 is a symbol of the "day," or<br />

incarnation period, of a personality.<br />

in% 35% a hind let loose, a free-running<br />

dear [Genesis 49:21]. Said of the Tribe of<br />

Naphtali, corresponding to Virgo. Virgo is the<br />

Tarot is pictured by the Hermit, and the Hermit<br />

is standing at the summit to which leads the path<br />

in Key 18. He is free to range, because he is<br />

altogether liberated. The path in Key 18 is what<br />

must be followed to attain liberation. It is the<br />

path of progress, made possible by incarnation.<br />

"Come and behold. When the most Holy and<br />

Ancient One, the concealed with all concealment<br />

(Key 9), desired to be formed froth, he<br />

conformed all things under the form of male and<br />

female" [Lesser Holy Assembly, Ch 8 Sec 2181.<br />

The process by means of which bodies are<br />

incarnated and forms marked out. Physical<br />

existence is the starting point for higher levels of<br />

awareness. In order to attain to conscious<br />

participation in higher realms of existence, the<br />

physical body must be purified and transmuted<br />

so that it may serve as an instrument for the<br />

expression of spiritual powers and as a receiving<br />

station for impressions from levels of existence<br />

above and beyond the limits of the physical<br />

plane. The practices of true occultism help us to<br />

overthrow the errors in our conscious thinking,<br />

which in turn affect our subconscious mentation<br />

which is in charge of bodily function. This is<br />

partly the work of Mars. As related to the 10 of<br />

Cups, it is the Scorpio aspect of Mars. When<br />

rightly utilized in meditation, the Scorpio force<br />

rises through the spinal cord and gives the organ<br />

of inner vision, the pineal gland, the strength to<br />

open. see 390.<br />

Fft& is fat. In Psalm 119:70: There heart is fat<br />

as grease. The Jewish translation from the<br />

Hassoretic text is: "Their hearts is gross like fat."<br />

With different pointing: to be gross, be dull,<br />

stupid, foolish.<br />

negative magic which some associate with the<br />

Corporeal Intelligence.<br />

sultan [Daniel 4:3]. see 57, 259, 186, 100, 394.<br />

220%' judge, judgement; to judge. This is the<br />

root of the name Jeehoshphat, the Valley [Joel<br />

3:2, 121. It also means the name of the father of<br />

the prophet Elisha [I Kings 9: 161. It evidently<br />

means Lily. This word has a solar significance.<br />

Shin (Fire), Peh (Mars) and Teth (Leo). Lilies<br />

are white, a solar color. see 985 (Lt).<br />

njl~3 PI# There (is) the Bdellium [Genesis<br />

2:12]. One of the ingredients of the Land of<br />

Havilah "where there is Gold", variously taken to<br />

be a gum, precious stone or pearl. This could be<br />

the "pearl of Great price," otherwise known as<br />

the stone.<br />

?&a overflowing, flood. Job 38:25: "Who has<br />

divided a watercourse for the overflowing of<br />

waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder." In<br />

Psalm 32:6: "For this let every one that is<br />

chosen pray to you at an appointed time; surely<br />

even the flood of great waters shall not come<br />

near him."<br />

o hteo5. ho lithos (Gr). the stone. The<br />

"Everlasting Dominion" designated by 1~5~) is<br />

symbolized in Daniel 2:34 and 44 as a stone.<br />

One of the results of making the Philosopher's<br />

Stone is the adept's ability to utilize the power of<br />

the 29th Path (Qoph) so as to form for himself a<br />

physical body adjusted to any physical<br />

environment. With this ability go certain other<br />

power's and all of them have to do with<br />
