The Yetziratic text of Hod states that its root is in Chesed, and from this, as Dion Fortune indicates, can be modelled a number of the processes of Magic. As Chesed is taken to be the sphere of the Secret Masters, who are taken by many magicians to guide the process of manifestation from higher planes through human adepts, it is to be approached with due consideration. If Meditation and contemplation (the stilling or focusing of the thought processes), and ritual or ceremony can be assigned to Hod, then through the awareness freed thereby (Tiphareth) we can regain Chesed, the grand waystation of the Universe as it pours into manifestation, and align ourselves to that flow. A simple rite of Magic involving the Egyptian Goddess Ma'at, who can be attributed to Chesed, designed by Maggie Ingalls demonstrates this procedure, by the meditation (Hod) on a flame (Tiphareth) and a feather (Chesed), which combined with a suitable Mantra links the practitioner to the "Ma'at Current", which is none other than the evolutionary and stochastic current of the Universe. The Hermit card also resumes this symbolism, and perhaps should be drawn bearing a quill, not a staff.
Chapter Eight; Geburah, The Folding of the Robe Geburah is the fifth Sephirah of the Creative Process, and signifies in Hebrew a number of related meanings, around the theme of strength : Strength, power, force, valour, courage, victory, might, God, strong, mighty, hero. Geburah is connected with the punishment of God, rigour, severity, and justice. An alternative title of this Sephirah is Pachad, meaning "fear". Its most negative aspect is said to be blind fanaticism, which is often the result of a fear of that which is considered different to one's own beliefs. When the seven sins are allocated to the Tree, the sin of Geburah is said to be that of anger. It is also connected, in a more positive sense, with discipline and energy. Obviously, these aspects are counterbalanced by those of Chesed, "loving kindness" or "mercy", on the opposite side of the Tree, across the path marked by the "Strength" card of the Tarot. Indeed, that card can be taken to depict the harmonised relationship between Geburah, symbolised by the Red Lion, and Chesed, symbolised by the Peaceful Lady, whose own demeanour in sufficient to placate the beast. It should be noted that Geburah is passive to Chesed, and that as Dion Fortune states, many of the social and psychological problems we face can be modelled by our constant functioning, inappropriately, with an active Geburah. That is to say, we shoot first and ask questions later, or allow our fear to drive us rather than our urges to creativity. Obviously, if Chesed were not constrained by a correctly functioning Geburah, life would become dysfunctional in the opposite extreme, with chaos and anarchy without point. It is the work of the Adept grades in the initiatory system to learn to balance these states both within and without, to ensure that Tiphareth, the pivotal point of the Tree, is maintained in a dynamic equilibrium. The Zohar puts it that the "left arm draws the immensity of space in rigour", and that Geburah is associated with the "repentance of God" and the Archangel Samael. It also points out that Mercy and Severity are united in Tiphareth. The Sepher Yetzirah states "the fifth path is called the Radical Intelligence, because it is more similar than any other to the Supreme Unity and emanates from the depths of the Primordial Wisdom." It is the conciliatory force, restricting and directing the expansion of Chesed. The link with
