THE COMPLETE GOLDEN DAWN SYSTEM OF MAGIC
But the name YHVH, the Son, the Microprosopus is not therein established till
the Ten Sephiroth have sent forth their Judgment upon the land of Egypt, i.e., the Ten
Plagues. And therefore it is only when YHVH interposes between Egypt and Israel that
the verses occur in Exodus which show forth the Schem ha-Mephoresch. There are
also other ways of making sets of 72 names out of these verses, Exodus xiv, v. 19, 20
and 21, e.g. by writing them all from right to left, and so on, and also by permutation
of the letters by any rule of Temurah. The meanings of these are then to be found as
herein after shown for the regular Schem ha-Mephoresch.
It is worthy of note that all the letters of the Alphabet except Gimel are
employed in the Schem ha-M ephoresch. This letter Gimel whose numerical value is
3, is therefore the key of their construction, they being grouped together in words of
three letters each. Furthermore, there are 360° in the Zodiac, and this divided by 5
gives 72 0 which is the interval between the points of a regular pentagram inscribed
within a great circle. Also the number 72 equals 6 x 12 which equals 72 cubes or
Hexagrams, so that each Hexagram will represent by its Angles the 6 Quinancies of a
Sign, the Sign itself being written in the centre, e.g. in any order that may be required.
The meaning of these 72 names of God, of the Angels of the Schem ha-
Mephoresch are then collected in the following manner from those 72 verses taken
from different Psalms, in each of which the name YHVH appears, save in the case of
the 70th, YBM:
Here follow in detail the Psalms mentioned, showing the method of extracting
the angelic Names. (The important point here is the significance of the meaning of
each Name, a meaning which occurs in no other place in these documents.)
