393 is also the number of ?PI&?, the typical
concubine or whore who later became Sefekh,
the consort of Thoth. Sefekh means the number
seven; she is therefore an image of Typhon.
According to Gerald Massey, Sefekh is a
survival of Khefekh or Khepsh of the Seven
Stars, once worshipped at Ombos as the 'Living
Word'. By the later solar cults she was abhorred
as the Great Harlot. The word khepsh means,
literally, the hinder thigh, a symbol of the vagina
which is itself an image of the Primeval Typhon,
the Mother of Set. She typified the first parent
known at a time when the role of the male in
procreation was unsuspected. Because she had
no consort she was considered to be a goddess
without a god, and her son - Set - being
fatherless was also godless and was therefore the
first 'devil',' the prototype of the Satan of later
legends.
One of the totems of Typhon was the Dove. This
was continued by the solar cults where it typified
the male bearer of the ruach or creative spirit,
attributed to the element air. The dove depicted
on the Great Seal of the Ordo Templi Orientis
(O.T.O.) is the Typhonian bird of blood, and it
can be shown by gematria that the emblems
contained in that seal are qabalistically
equivalent to the number 393.
