THE COMPLETE GOLDEN DAWN SYSTEM OF MAGIC
The letters of the Word Ameth, Truth, are the three Elements, Earth, Water and Air
for Tau is Earth, as Aleph, Mem, Shin, are Air, Water, and Fire.
These three letters or Elements are disposed together for the receiving of that Divine
Fire which should enlighten them when thus harmonised so that therein may be
manifested which is Emethsh or Amethsh, herein as the Shin of the Fire Divine entered,
and this order of the Letters is that of the Angles of the Tablets, and of the 4 Tablets
themselves, viz:
First - is Air and Aleph.
Second - is Water and Mem.
Third - is Earth and Tau.
Fourth - is Fire and Shin.
This again is the Order of the Elements in the Sepher Yetzirah of the Qabalah.
From these 4 Sigils there are the 4 Names drawn forth as may follow in order.
From the Tau with 4 Yods or a (T) surmounted by four Yods of the Sigillum Ameth,
(T) and 4 other letters counting by the rule of 4, 22, 20, 18: this yields T'haolog - Tahaoelog,
for the Air Tablet. (The 4th Square each time from the last will shew the letter and figure
given. You are not to count, say 22 or 20 or 18, but 4 only. N.O.M.)
These names are not to be lightly pronounced.
From the cross in whose angles are 2 (b's) a 6 and a 4 - see previous diagram, note that
(T) equals a (t), while the cross equals (th).
The counting goes from Cross to (h), then b4, then 6b, and continues by six. 4 is Th,
22 is (h), (b) is 4, (y) is 14, 6 is (b), 6 is (A), (a) is 5, (t) is 9, (n) is 14, then (n) finishing the
counting, yielding the name Thahebyobeaatanun for the Water Tablet.
To explain further, four moves from (T) yields 22. (h) (b) 4 is specially put; (y) 14
moves to 22, from (t). Then 6 (b) is special. From 6 (b) it is all plain moving by 6 to
right.
From the Cross equals (th) 4, and proceed counting in each case forwards as by
numbers, and proceed counting in each case forwards. 4 is (Th), 22 is (h), 1 1 is (a), (a) is 5, (o)
is 10, (t) is 1 1, with a final letter of (h) which yields the name Thahaaothe, for the Earth
Tablet.
(Count here not by 4 or 6, but by numbers given to right if over; to left if
under.)
From the Fire Tablet Sigil count to the middle circle which is the Greek Omega, the
long (o), and proceed in the Sigillum Ameth counting 12 in each case, for the number of
rays is 12 around the circle. 6 is Omega, 12 is (h), (o) is 8, (o) is 17, (o) is 20, (h) is 12, 6 is (A),
(t) is 9, ending with an (n), which yields the name Oh000haatan for the Fire Tablet.
(Count 12 in any case neglecting the numbers over or under, always forward. S.A.)
THE LAW OF THE ALLOTMENT OF THE ANGLES, CROSSES
AND SQUARES OF THESE TABLETS.
The key of all and every allotment and combinations of the various subdivisions of
the 4 Terrestrial Tablets is to be found in the transposition of the Letters of the Great Name.
