Gematria - Sepher Sapphires Volume 1.pdf

The daughter is the symbol of imminent return;
of the incipient reversion of manifestation to its
primal state of nonmanifestation; of being
re-becoming non-being. In the present Aeon the
Son is the Child, but in the coming Aeon of Maat
the Child will be the Daughter, for at the end of
that Aeon Malkuth will once more return to its
sleep of dissolution (pralaya) prior to a new
manifestation.
The title of the Atu of this Path is The Daughter
of the Mighty Ones. The theme is repeated by
the word MUT (a form of Maat) which also adds
to 55 and which signifies to 'shake', waver,
'totter', 'fail', 'decay', 'die'. It derives from the
Egyptian word mut, meaning to 'end' or 'die'.
The sigil of Dagdagiel shows the letter Daleth
reversed and in the form of a gallows from which
hangs an inverted triangle above the letters
AVD. AVD (Od) is the magick light. The
triangle is the inverted pyramid set in the Abyss
with its apex in the Void (Ain), for this reciprocal
tunnel is reflected into the gulfs beyond Kether.
The implication is that the pyramid is the magick
light or Fire Snake suspended from a gallows in
the form of the Woman of Night [A term
signifying the 'Elemental Gods'] whose vagina
(Daleth = door) is here reversed. This peculiarity
shows that she is an initiate of the highest sexual
mysteries and that she possesses the special mark
[The retromingent vulva] of a Scarlet Woman.
Her totems are the dove (the Typhonian bird),
the sparrow, and the sow. In a holograph note in
his personal copy of Liber 777, Crowley notes
against this path (column xxxvii): 'The Sow =
type of Venus which matches Mars (opposed to
romantic and other higher types). Mars = boar.
By this he means that as the virgin basks in the
idyllic light of romantic or unrealized love, the
sow wallows in the sty of sensuality. But the
comparison of the Sow of Venus with the Boar
of Mars comports another mystery which may be
fathomed only in terms of the Draconian
Current. The sow (Babalon = whore) is the
qlipha [a harlot] or outer shell of the Goddess.
Her inner mystery involves the kalas or Kali
Herself, for She is the ultimate Mother. In New
Aeon terms, therefore, Mars is the cosmic
power-zone assigned to Ra-Hoor-Khuit as the
child (Har) of the present Aeon, because the
blood associated with this zone (of Mars) is not
the blood of the male shed in battle, but the
blood of the female that embodies the child.
The dove also is attributed to the 14"' kala. The
dove was the bird of blood (feminine source)
before it became the bird of air (niasculine
spirit). First was Mars-Kali-Typhon, then came
Venus-Nephthys-Nu-lsis.
The magical power corresponding to this kala is,
traditionally, the ability to distil love philtres.
The phrase is an euphemism for the vaginal
vibrations emanating from the virgin in the form
of sexual magnetism that attracts the Creative
Light into her womb.
In the verse of the grimoire pertaining to this
kala, it is written: The Virgin of God is
enthroned upon an oyster-shell; she is like a
pearl, and seeketh 70 to her 4. In her heart is
Hadit the invisible glory.
The oyster is the typical aphrodisiac; the virgin is
drunk upon its shell and seeketh 70 [i.e. the erect
phallus symbolized by the Eye (Ayin = Eye =
70) of the Devil] to her 4 [Daleth, 4, = door, i.e.
vagina]. In her heart is Hadit (i.e. Set, the Devil
Himself), the invisible glory that motivates her
desire. The virgin thus becomes the whore, or, in
the language of magical symboli!sm, the
entranced priestess becomes enlightened or
awakened; the pythoness becomes oracular,
being inspired with the divine spirit. Hence the
magical formula of this kala is Agape, the
number of which is 93, which is the number of
desire or will (Thelema) and of the Devil
(Aiwass) Himself.
All aphrodisiacs and all soft voluptuous odours
are ascribed to this kala, the presiding deities of
which are Hathor, Aphrodite, Kapris Cottyto,
and, in the tantric systems, Lalita [The Lilith of
rabbinical lore], the sexual aspect of shakti
(power).
Diseases typical of the 14"' kala are syphilis,
gonorrhea, and nymphomania. The element of
nymphomania is evident in the succubi or
shadow-women generated from the yorii of the
Goddess whose magical weapon is the girdle.
The shadow woman is the means of dream
control for it is through her magical circle that
the dreamer enters dimensions that lie: on the
nightside of the inverted pyramid which is a
projection of the yantra of the Goddess. The
formula has a sexual basis and all that can be
