"This root can be conceived according to its two
ways of composition: by the first, it is the root
71, symbol of all organic extension, united to the
sign of directive movement 5; by the second, it
is the organic sign 1, which is contracted with the
root 58, symbol of elevation and expansive
force. In the first case it is a thing which is
displayed in space by unfolding itself; which is
developed, produced, according to its nature,
unveiled; in the second, it is a thing, on the
contrary, which coils, rolls, complicates,
accumulates, heaps up, envelops. Here, one can
recognize the double meaning which is always
attached to the sign 1 under the double relation of
organic development and envelopment.
That which moves with a light and undulating
movement; which manifest joy, grace, and ease
in its movements. The revolution of celestial
spheres. The orbit of the planets. A wheel; a
circumstance, an occasion. That which is
revealed, that which appears, is uncovered. That
which piles up by rolling: the movement of the
waves, the swell; the volume of anything
whatsoever, a heap, apile; the circuit or contour
of an object or a place: it conjnes. [d'olivet,
1976, p. 3 14.1

Goetia: "The first principal spirit is a King ruling
in the East, called Bael. He makes thee to go
invisible. He rules over 66 Legions of Infernal
spirits. He appears in divers shapes, sometimes
like a Cat, sometimes like a Toad, and
sometimes like a Man, and sometimes all these
forms at once. He speaks hoarsely." [Mathers,
1995, p. 271.

57 to move to and fro, to totter from weakness;
weak, poor; a pauper, poor man; humble, lean,
low; door, valve, wretched. In Psalm 141 :3: "Set
a guard over my mouth, 0 Lord; keep watch
over the door (valve) of my lips."
"This root, conceived as the union of the sign of
natural abundance or of divisibility, with the root
?b( symbol of elevation, produces the idea of
every extraction, every removal, as for example,
when one draws water from a well, when one
takes away the life of a plant; from this idea,
proceeds necessarily the accessory ideas of
exhaustion and weakness. The Arabic: root in
particular, attaches more exclusively to the idea
of distinguishing, designating conducting some
one toward a distinct object. When it is
weakened, it expresses a distinction of scorn;
disdain, degradation. 57. That which extracts; to
draw or to attract above; that which takes away,
drains; that which attenuates, consumes,
enfeebles: every kind of division, di:i.tinction;
enlptiness effected by extraction; any kind of
renzoval. In a very restricted sense, a seal; a
vessel for drawing water. [d'olivet, 1976, pp.
322-323.1 see 924.
