mental imagery to alter his own body. Success in<br />

meditation established a current of subtle energy<br />

between the Mercury center in the upper brain,<br />

and the Sun center near the heart. Alchemical<br />

dissolution lifts up energy stored in subconscious<br />

reservoirs into the field of conscious awareness.<br />

It affects physical and subtle changes-in the<br />

metaphysical sensorium-to make the personality<br />

a better vehicle of expression for the Life-power.<br />

3 3 Mighty one of Jacob. Genesis<br />

49:24: "But his bow remained steady, his strong<br />

arms stayed, limber, because of the hand of the<br />

Mighty One Jacob, because of the hand<br />

Shepherd, the Rock of Israel." Isaiah 60:16:<br />

"And thou shall know that 1 the Lord an thy<br />

savior and thy redeemer, the mighty one of<br />

Jacob." K.D.L.C.K. (p.13) gives: robustus. Jacob<br />

and says it is connected with fp, time [74] and<br />

cites Job 39:29.<br />

Isaiah. Salvation of Yah. This means<br />

qabalistically, the salvation of wisdom. the Zohar<br />

says: "Isaiah's very name is the cause of future<br />

redemption and the return of the supernal light to<br />

its place, and the restoration of the temple and all<br />

the splendor and glory thereof." The temple<br />

which is restored is the temple of human<br />

personality.<br />

3IBV eight (8). Connects with ha-shamaim, the<br />

heavens (all the stars in Key 17, Aquarius have 8<br />

rays); through the notion of beginning, connects<br />

with esoteric doctrine of the octave. The divine<br />

influence which flows down to the conscious<br />

mind is effected by a vibratory correlation<br />

related to the octave of music. see Mezla (78).<br />

"33tjW eight. This word springs from the double<br />

root P?tV and 1%3. By the first P'lW, is<br />

understood the action of placing, of putting one<br />

thing upon another; by the second f%3 that of<br />

speciQing, of distinguishing by forms. It is<br />

therefore, the accumulation of forms that should<br />

be understood by this number. This signification<br />

is made obvious by that of the verb ISDW, which<br />

means literally, to fatten, to make larger."<br />

Ol?I'l$? Uriens. The Sentinel of the 16"' Path<br />

(tunnel) of Vav on the inverse Tree of Life.<br />

I. The 16'~ Path Transmits the influence of the<br />

Hierophant, and its tunnel is sentinelled by the<br />

demon Uriens, whose number is 395, and his<br />

sigil shows a seven-armed figure; the upper four<br />

arms terminate in yods; the lower three, in<br />

crosses. The seven-armed figure is a glyph of the<br />

Tree of Life [The upper three sephiroth are not<br />

always included in diagrams of the Tree]. It has<br />

relevance to the worlds below the abyss. The<br />

seven also refers to the original Light in Heaven<br />

represented by the stars of Ursa Major. Note that<br />

395 - the number of Uriens -- is also that of<br />

P'Dm, the 'heavens'. The seven arms, the four<br />

yods, the three crosses, make a total of 59 in all<br />

(7 + 40 + 12) and this number furnishes a wealth<br />

of clues relevant to the meaning of the sigil.<br />

According to the Kabbalah Denudata, 59 is<br />

PW, meaning 'brethren'; it refers particularly to<br />

Samael who is stationed in the midst of the<br />

Zodiacal Qtiphoth accompanied by his shakti,<br />

the Elder Lilith. She guards the South East<br />

Corner and her companions are the Serpent and<br />

the Man. The serpent is a glyph of menstruation<br />

and 59, as 1-3, means precisely this. It derives<br />

from the Egyptian word neti, meaning 'being',<br />

'existence', 'negative', 'froth', 'the sign of<br />

bleeding', 'female source'. This number therefore<br />

explains why the Adimiron (The Bloody) are the<br />

qliphoth attributed to the Tunnel of Uriens. In<br />

the list of Primes, Crowley describes 59 as 'The<br />

Yoni calling for the Lingam, as ovum,<br />

menstruum, or alkali'. Furthermore, and to
