THE COMPLETE GOLDEN DAWN SYSTEM OF MAGIC<br />

In addition to this method <strong>of</strong> determining the sex <strong>of</strong> the Telesmatic Image <strong>of</strong> a Name,<br />

certain Names are inherently masculine, others feminine, and some epicene, irrespective <strong>of</strong> the<br />

mere testimony <strong>of</strong> the letters.<br />

SANDALPHON, for instance is thus analysed:<br />

Samekh is Male, Nun is Male, Daleth is Female, Lamed is Female, Peh is Female, Vau<br />

is Male, and Nun is Male.<br />

<strong>The</strong>refore masculine predominates, and if it were an ordinary Name you would make a<br />

masculine Form out <strong>of</strong> it. But this Name is especially applied to the feminine Kerub, it is an<br />

exception to the rule; it is an Archangelic Name, belonging to the BRIAT1C world and not<br />

merely an Angelic Name relating to YETZIRAH.<br />

SAN DALPHON is also called Yetzer, meaning `left', and its letters are: female,<br />

female and male, so that, in this case, it may be any <strong>of</strong> these.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Seven Letters composing the Name SANDALPHON are thus adapted to the<br />

Telesmatic Image.<br />

Samekh is the Head. Would represent a beautiful and active face rather thin than<br />

fat. Nun is the Neck, would be admirably full.<br />

Daleth is the Shoulders <strong>of</strong> a beautiful woman.<br />

Lamed is the Heart and Chest, the latter perfectly proportioned.<br />

Peh is the Hips strong and full.<br />

Vau is the Legs massive.<br />

Nun (final) Feet sinewy and perhaps winged.<br />

Should you desire to build up an elemental form out <strong>of</strong> this Name a very peculiar<br />

figure would result:<br />

Samekh -- Head fierce, but rather beautiful. Blue.<br />

Nun -- Neck with eagle's wings from behind. Bluegreen.<br />

Daleth -- Shoulders feminine, rather beautiful. Greenblue.<br />

Lamed -- Chest <strong>of</strong> woman. Emerald.<br />

Peh -- Strong and shaggy hips and thighs. Red.<br />

Vau -- Legs <strong>of</strong> a Bull. Red-orange.<br />

Nun (final) -- Feet <strong>of</strong> an Eagle. Green-blue.<br />

This it will be seen, is almost a synthetical Kerubic Figure. This figure may be<br />

represented, as it were, with its feet on the Earth, and its head in the clouds. <strong>The</strong> colours in the<br />

scale <strong>of</strong> the King would synthesize as a delicate and sparkling green.<br />

<strong>The</strong> uncovered parts <strong>of</strong> the body would be blue, the countenance belonging to<br />

Sagittarius would be almost that <strong>of</strong> a horse. <strong>The</strong> whole form would be like that <strong>of</strong> a goddess<br />

between Hathor and Neith holding a bow and arrows, that is if represented as an Egyptian<br />

symbol.<br />
