**[[OSIRIS|OSIRIS]], KING OF THE UNDERWORLD** Osiris is often represented with the lower part, of his body enclosed in a mummy case or wrapped about with funeral bandages. Man's spirit consists of three distinct parts, only one of which incarnates in physical form. The human body was considered to be a tomb or sepulcher of this incarnating spirit. Therefore Osiris, a symbol of the incarnating ego, was represented with the lower half of his body mummified to indicate that he was the living spirit of man enclosed within the material form symbolized by the mummy case. (There is another, magical interpretation of this allegory, and that is the mummification of the Astral and Vital Bodies, to make them impervious to the negative influences of the lower worlds. ) There is a romance between the active principle of God and the passive principle of Nature. From the union of these two principles is produced the rational creation. Man is a composite creature. From his Father (the active principle) he inherits his Divine Spirit, the [[Fire|fire]] of aspiration--that immortal part of himself which rises triumphant from the broken clay of mortality: that part which remains after the natural organisms have disintegrated or have been regenerated. From his Mother (the passive principle) he inherits his body--that part over which the laws of Nature have control: his humanity, his mortal personality, his appetites, his feelings, and his emotions. The Egyptians also believed that Osiris was the river Nile and that Isis (his sister-wife) was the contiguous land, which, when inundated by the river, bore fruit and harvest. **The Sun, A Universal Deity** THE adoration of the sun was one of the earliest and most natural forms of religious expression. Complex modern theologies are merely involvements and amplifications of this simple aboriginal belief. Concerning the origin of sun worship, Albert Pike makes the following concise statement in his _Morals and Dogma_: "To them [aboriginal peoples] he [the sun] was the innate fire of bodies, the fire of Nature. Author of Life, heat, and ignition, he was to them the efficient cause of all generation, for without him there was no movement, no existence, no form. He was to them immense, indivisible, imperishable, and everywhere present. It was their need of light, and of his creative energy, that was felt by all men; and nothing was more fearful to them than his absence. His beneficent influences caused his identification with the Principle of Good; and the BRAHMA of the Hindus, and MITHRAS of the Persians, and ATHOM, AMUN, PHTHA, and OSIRIS, of the Egyptians, the BEL of the Chaldeans, the ADONAI of the Phœnicians, the ADONIS and APOLLO of the Greeks. The Tower of Babel, which, according to the Scriptures, was built so that man might reach up to God, was probably an astronomical observatory. The tutelary gods were given planetary thrones, the celestial bodies being named after the deities assigned to them. The Sun, being the symbol of all Light, has three distinct phases: rising, midday, and setting. The philosophers therefore divided the life of all things into three distinct parts: growth, maturity, and decay. Hercules is the Solar Deity, for as this mighty hunter performed his twelve labors, so the sun, in traversing the twelve houses of the zodiacal band, performs during his pilgrimage twelve essential and benevolent labors for the human race and for Nature in general. "The Sun, as he pursued his way among these 'living creatures' of the zodiac, was said, in allegorical language, either to assume the nature of or to triumph over the sign he entered. The sun thus became a Bull in Taurus, and was worshipped as such by the Egyptians under the name of Apis, and by the Assyrians as Bel, Baal, or Bul. In Leo the sun became a Lion-slayer, Hercules, and an Archer in Sagittarius. In Pisces, the Fishes, he was a fish--Dagon, or Vishnu, the fish-god of the Philistines and Hindoos." **CHRISTIANITY AND THE SUN** For reasons which they doubtless considered sufficient, those who chronicled the life and acts of Jesus found it advisable to metamorphose him into a solar deity. The historical Jesus was forgotten; nearly all the salient incidents recorded in the four Gospels have their correlations in the movements, phases, or functions of the heavenly bodies. Among other allegories borrowed by Christianity from pagan antiquity is the story of the beautiful, blue-eyed Sun God, with His golden hair falling upon His shoulders, robed from head to foot in spotless white and carrying in His arms the Lamb of God, symbolic of the vernal equinox. This handsome youth is a composite of Apollo, Osiris, Orpheus, Mithras, and Bacchus, for He has certain characteristics in common with each of these pagan deities. The philosophers of Greece and Egypt divided the life of the sun during the year into four parts; therefore they symbolized the Solar Man by four different figures. When He was born in the winter solstice, the Sun God was symbolized as a dependent infant who in some mysterious manner had managed to escape the Powers of Darkness seeking to destroy Him while He was still in the cradle of winter. The sun, being weak at this season of the year, had no golden rays (or locks of hair), but the survival of the light through the darkness of winter was symbolized by one tiny hair which alone adorned the head of the Celestial Child. (As the birth of the sun took place in Capricorn, it was often represented as being suckled by a goat.) At the vernal equinox, the sun had grown to be a beautiful youth. His golden hair hung in ringlets on his shoulders and his light, as Schiller said, extended to all parts of infinity. At the summer solstice, the sun became a strong man, heavily bearded, who, in the prime of maturity, symbolized the fact that Nature at this period of the year is strongest and most fecund. At the autumnal equinox, the sun was pictured as an aged man, shuffling along with bended back and whitened locks into the oblivion of winter darkness. Thus, twelve months were assigned to the sun as the length of its life. During this period it circled the twelve signs of the zodiac in a magnificent triumphal march. When fall came, it entered, like Samson, into the house of Delilah (Virgo), where its rays were cut off and it lost its strength. In Masonry, the cruel winter months are symbolized by three murderers who sought to destroy the God of Light and Truth. (that is; the Murder of Hiram, the Master Mason who designed Solomon's Temple) The coming of the sun was hailed with joy; the time of its departure was viewed as a period to be set aside for sorrow and unhappiness. This glorious, radiant orb of day, the true light "which lighteth every man who cometh into the world," the supreme benefactor, who raised all things from the dead, who fed the hungry multitudes, who stilled the tempest, who after dying rose again and restored all things to life--this Supreme Spirit of humanitarianism and philanthropy is known to Christendom as Christ, the Redeemer of worlds, the Only Begotten of The Father, the Word made Flesh, and the Hope of Glory. **THE THREE SUNS** The solar orb, like the nature of man, was divided by the ancient sages into three separate bodies. According to the mystics, there are three suns in each solar system, analogous to the three centers of life in each individual constitution. These are called three lights: the _spiritual_ sun, the _intellectual_ or _soular_ sun, and the _material_ sun (now symbolized in Freemasonry by three candles). The spiritual sun manifests the power of God the Father; the soular sun radiates the life of God the Son; and the material sun is the vehicle of manifestation for God the Holy Spirit. Man's nature was divided by the mystics into three distinct parts: spirit, soul, and body. His physical body was unfolded and vitalized by the material sun; his spiritual nature was illuminated by the spiritual sun; and his intellectual nature was redeemed by the true _light of grace_--the soular sun. The alignment of these three globes in the heavens was one explanation offered for the peculiar fact that the orbits of the planets are not circular but elliptical. The pagan priests always considered the solar system as a _Grand Man_, and drew their analogy of these three centers of activity from the three main centers of life in the human body: the brain, the heart, and the generative system. The Transfiguration of Jesus describes three tabernacles, the largest being in the center (the heart), and a smaller one on either side (the brain and the generative system). Paracelsus wrote: "There is an earthly sun, which is the cause of all heat, and all who are able to see may see the sun; and those who are blind and cannot see him may feel his heat. There is an Eternal Sun, which is the source of all wisdom, and those whose spiritual senses have awakened to life will see that sun and be conscious of His existence; but those who have not attained spiritual consciousness may yet feel His power by an inner faculty which is called Intuition." Certain Rosicrucian scholars have given special appellations to these three phases of the sun: the spiritual sun they called _Vulcan_; the soular and intellectual sun, Christ and Lucifer respectively; and the material sun, the Jewish Demiurgus _Jehovah_. Lucifer here represents the intellectual mind without the illumination of the spiritual mind; therefore it is "the false light. " The false light is finally overcome and redeemed by the true light of the soul, called the _Second Logos_ or _Christ_. The secret processes by which the Luciferian intellect is transmuted into the Christly intellect constitute one of the great secrets of alchemy, and are symbolized by the process of transmuting base metals into gold. In the rare treatise _The Secret Symbols of The Rosicrucians_, Franz Hartmann defines the sun alchemically as: "The symbol of Wisdom. The Centre of Power or Heart of things. The Sun is a centre of energy and a storehouse of power. Each living being contains within itself a centre of life, which may grow to be a Sun. In the heart of the regenerated, the divine power, stimulated by the Light of the Logos, grows into a Sun which illuminates his mind." In a note, the same author amplifies his description by adding: "The terrestrial sun is the image or reflection of the invisible celestial sun; the former is in the realm of Spirit what the latter is in the realm of Matter; but the latter receives its power from the former." In the majority of cases, the religions of antiquity agree that the material visible sun was a reflector rather than a source of power. **The sun was sometimes represented as a shield** carried on the arm of the Sun God, as for example, Frey, the Scandinavian Solar Deity. This sun reflected the light of the invisible _spiritual_ sun, which was the true source of life, light, and truth. The physical nature of the universe is receptive; it is a realm of effects. The invisible causes of these effects belong to the spiritual world. Hence, the spiritual world is the sphere of _causation_; the material world is the sphere of _effects_; while the intellectual--or soul--world is the sphere of _mediation_. Thus Christ, the personified higher intellect and soul nature, is called "the Mediator" who, by virtue of His position and power, says: "No man cometh to the Father, but by me." What the sun is to the solar system, the spirit is to the bodies of man; for his natures, organs, and functions are as planets surrounding the central life (or sun) and living upon its emanations. The solar power in man is divided into three parts, which are termed the threefold human spirit of man. All three of these spiritual natures are said to be radiant and transcendent; united, they form the Divinity in man. Man's threefold lower nature--consisting of his physical organism, his emotional nature, and his mental faculties--reflects the light of his threefold Divinity and bears witness of It in the physical world. Man's three bodies are symbolized by an upright triangle; his threefold spiritual nature by an inverted triangle. These two triangles, when united in the form of a six-pointed star, were called by the Jews "the Star of David," "the Signet of Solomon," and are more commonly known today as "the Star of Zion." These triangles symbolize the spiritual and material universes linked together in the constitution of the human creature, who partakes of both Nature and Divinity. Man's animal nature partakes of the earth; his divine nature of the heavens; his human nature of the mediator. **THE CELESTIAL INHABITANTS OF THE SUN** The Rosicrucians and the Illuminati, describing the angels, archangels, and other celestial creatures, declared that they resembled small suns, being centers of radiant energy surrounded by streamers of Vrilic force. From these outpouring streamers of force is derived the popular belief that angels have wings. These wings are corona-like fans of light, by means of which the celestial creatures propel themselves through the subtle essences of the superphysical worlds. True mystics are unanimous in their denial of the theory that the angels and archangels are human in form, as so often pictured. A human figure would be utterly useless in the ethereal substances through which they manifest. Everything when bathed in the light of the solar orb was capable of absorbing the solar life elements and later radiating them as flora and fauna.  **SURYA, THE REGENT OF THE SUN** From Moor's _Hindu Pantheon_. Moor describes this figure as follows: "The cast is nine inches in height, representing the glorious god of day-holding the attributes of VISHNU, seated on a seven-headed serpent; his car drawn by a seven-headed horse, driven by the legless ARUN, a personification of the dawn, or AURORA." Some secret orders have taught that the sun was inhabited by a race of creatures with bodies composed of a radiant, spiritual ether not unlike in its constituency the actual glowing ball of the sun itself. The solar heat had no harmful effect upon them, because their organisms were sufficiently refined and sensitized to harmonize with the sun's tremendous vibratory rate. These creatures resemble miniature suns, being a little larger than a dinner plate in size, although some of the more powerful are considerably larger. Their color is the golden white light of the sun, and from them emanate four streamers of Vril. These streamers are often of great length and are in constant motion. A peculiar palpitation is to be noted throughout the structure of the globe and is communicated in the form of ripples to the emanating streamers. The greatest and most luminous of these spheres is the Archangel Michael; and the entire order of solar life, which resemble him and dwell upon the sun, are called by modern Christians "the archangels" or "the spirits of the light. Gold is the metal of the sun and has been considered by many as crystallized sunlight. When gold is mentioned in alchemical tracts, it may be either the metal itself or the celestial orb which is the source, or spirit, of gold. Sulphur because of its fiery nature was also associated with the sun. As gold was the symbol of spirit and the base metals represented man's lower nature, certain alchemists were called "miners" and were pictured with picks and shovels digging into the earth in search of the precious metal--those finer traits of character buried in the earthiness of materiality and ignorance. The diamond concealed in the heart of the black carbon illustrated the same principle. The Illuminati used a pearl hidden in the shell of an oyster at the bottom of the sea to signify spiritual powers. Thus the seeker after truth became a pearl-fisher: he descended into the sea of material illusion in search of understanding, termed by the initiates "the Pearl of Great Price." When the alchemists stated that every animate and inanimate thing in the universe contained the seeds of gold, they meant that even the grains of sand possessed a spiritual nature, for gold was the spirit of all things. Concerning these seeds of spiritual gold the following Rosicrucian axiom is significant: "A seed is useless and impotent unless it is put in its appropriate matrix." Franz Hartmann comments on this axiom with these illuminating words: "A soul cannot develop and progress without an appropriate body, because it is the physical body that furnishes the material for its development." (See In the _Pronaos of the Temple of Wisdom_.) The purpose of alchemy was not to make something out of nothing but rather to fertilize and nurture the seed which was already present. Its processes did nor actually create gold but rather made the ever-present seed of gold grow and flourish. Everything which exists has a spirit--the seed of Divinity within itself--and regeneration is not the process of attempting to place something where it previously had not existed. Regeneration actually means the unfoldment of the omnipresent Divinity in man, that this Divinity may shine forth as a sun and illumine all with whom it comes in contact. **THE MIDNIGHT SUN** The midnight sun was also part of the mystery of alchemy. It symbolized the spirit in man shining through the darkness of his human organisms. Primitive conceptions concerning the warfare between the principles of Good and Evil were often based upon the alternations of day and night. The Egyptian Demon, Typhon, was symbolized as part crocodile and part hog: because these animals are gross and earthy in both appearance and temperament. Since the world began, living things have feared the darkness; those few creatures who use it as a shield for their maneuvers were usually connected with the Spirit of Evil. Consequently cats, bats, toads, and owls are associated with witchcraft. Serpents, because they lived in the earth, were associated with the Spirit of Darkness. (but this is merely prejudicial symbolism and does not relate to the animals, themselves) **SOLAR COLORS** The theory so long held of three primary and four secondary colors is purely exoteric, for since the earliest periods it has been known that there are seven, and not three, primary colors, the human eye being capable of estimating only three of them. Thus, although green can be made by combining blue and yellow, there is also a true or primary green which is not a compound. This can he proved by breaking up the spectrum with a prism. Helmholtz found that the so-called secondary colors of the spectrum could not be broken up into their supposed primary colors. Thus the orange of the spectrum, if passed through a second prism, does not break up into red and yellow but remains orange. Consciousness, intelligence, and force are fittingly symbolized by the colors blue, yellow, and red. The therapeutic effects of the colors, moreover, are in harmony with this concept, for blue is a fine, soothing, electrical color; yellow, a vitalizing and refining color; and red, an agitating and heat-giving color. It has also been demonstrated that minerals and plants affect the human constitution according to their colors. Thus a yellow flower generally yields a medicine that affects the constitution in a manner similar to yellow light or the musical tone _mi_. An orange flower will influence in a manner similar to orange light and, being one of the so-called secondary colors, corresponds either to the tone _re_ or to the chord of _do_ and _mi_. The ancients conceived the spirit of man to correspond with the color blue, the mind with yellow, and the body with red. Heaven is therefore blue, earth yellow, and hell--or the underworld--red. The fiery condition of the inferno merely symbolizes the nature of the sphere or plane of force of which it is composed. In the Greek Mysteries the irrational sphere was always considered as red, for it represented that condition in which the consciousness is enslaved by the lusts and passions of the lower nature. In India certain of the gods--usually attributes of Vishnu--are depicted with blue skin to signify their divine and supermundane constitution. According to esoteric philosophy, blue is the true and sacred color of the sun. The apparent orange-yellow shade of this orb is the result of its rays being immersed in the substances of the illusionary world. In the original symbolism of the Christian Church, colors were of first importance and their use was regulated according to carefully prepared rules. Since the Middle Ages, however, the carelessness with which colors have been employed has resulted in the loss of their deeper emblematic meanings. In its primary aspect, white or silver signified life, purity, innocence, joy, and light; red, the suffering and death of Christ and His saints, and also divine love, blood, and warfare or suffering; blue, the heavenly sphere and the states of godliness and contemplation; yellow or gold, glory, fruitfulness, and goodness; green, fecundity, youthfulness, and prosperity; violet, humility, deep affection, and sorrow; In addition to the colors of the spectrum there are a vast number of vibratory color waves, some too low and others too high to be registered by the human optical apparatus. It is appalling to contemplate man's colossal ignorance concerning these vistas of abstract space. **Notes on Surya** three Persons. ELECTRIC FIRE, or SPIRIT. 1st Person Father . Life . Will . Purpose . Positive energy. SOLAR FIRE, or SOUL. 2nd Person . Son . Consciousness . Love- Equilibrised wisdom energy. FIRE BY FRICTION, or Body, or Matter. 3rd Person Holy Spirit . Form . Active Intelligence . Negative energy Each of these three is also triple in manifestation, making therefore a. The nine Potencies or Emanations. b. The nine Sephiroth. c. The nine Causes of Initiation. These, with the totality of manifestation or the Whole, produce the ten (10) of perfect manifestation, or the perfect MAN. These three aspects of the Whole are present in every form. a. The solar system is triple, manifesting through the three above mentioned. b. A human being is equally triple, manifesting as Spirit, Soul and Body, or Monad, Ego and Personality. c. The atom of the scientist is also triple, being composed of a positive nucleus, the negative electrons, and the totality of the outer mani- festation, the result of the relation of the other two. The three aspects of every form are inter-related and susceptible of intercourse, because a. Energy is in motion and circulates. b. All forms in the solar system form part of the Whole, and are not isolated units. c. This is the basis of brotherhood, of the communion of saints, and of astrology. The Ida is sometimes called the Chandra Nadi, or the Moon Nerve. The Pingala, the Surya Nadi or Sun nerve. These are called, the former, the Chandra Swara and the latter the Surya Swara. The reason is that when the breath is in the Ida it gives coolness to the body, and that when in the Pingala it gives heat to the body. The Ancient Magi used to say the place of the Moon in the human body was in Ida, and the Sun in Pingala. In the Surya Swara only, are the following actions to be done. Reading and teaching hard and difficult subjects of knowledge, sexual intercourse, shipping, hunting, mounting a hill or fort, riding a donkey, camel or horse, swimming over a powerful stream or river, writing, painting, buying and selling, fighting with swords or hands, seeing a king, bathing, eating, shaving, bleeding, sleeping, suchlike. All these secure success and health, as the case may be, if done in the Surya Swara. Zanoni secured success in gaming for Cetosa re: In the first place, he changed his breath to the right nostril, and threw an envelope of the Akasa Tattwa over his antagonist, who consequently became all empty, the money in gaming flowing towards the Surya Swara In medicine, the Sun is associated with the heart, circulatory system, and the thymus. In Ayurveda, it rules over life-force (**praan-shakti**), governs bile temperament (**pitta**), stomach, bones and eyes. In modern astrology, the Sun is the ruler of the fifth house and the zodiac sign of Leo. The Sun is associated with Sunday. Dante Alighieri associated the Sun with the liberal art of music. In Chinese astrology, the Sun represents Yang, the active, assertive masculine life principle. In Indian astrology, the Sun is called Surya and represents the soul, ego, vitality kingship, highly placed persons, government and father. Revered with numerous names in various Hindu scriptures, he is the King of planets "The Superior agrees with the Inferior; and the Inferior with the Superior; to effect that one truly wonderful Work" -- which is MAN. For the secret work of Chiram, or King Hiram in the Kabala, "one in Essence, but three in Aspect," is the Universal Agent or _Lapis Philosophorum._ The culmination of the Secret Work is Spiritual Perfect Man, at one end of the line; the union of the three elements is the Occult Solvent in the "Soul of the World," the _Cosmic_ Soul or Astral Light In our System it is the visible Sun, the Spirit of Nature, the terrestrial god. And in, on, and around the Earth, the fiery Spirit thereof -- air, fluidic fire; _water_, liquid fire; _Earth,_ solid fire. All is fire -- _ignis,_ in its ultimate constitution, or I, the root of which is O (_nought_) in our conceptions, the All in nature and its mind. _Pro-Mater_ is divine fire. (in our case, [U] ) Newton's spectral colours in the Vedas; in one reputable journal they were applied to seven horses that drew the chariot of Surya, the sun god. Ay, indeed, space, mystically speaking, is sunyata "emptiness" in its esoteric significance, but by no means "emptiness" as Occidental astronomers understand it; for verily the space which we look at, which our physical eyes think they see — or don't see — is substance so dense, so concrete, that no human conception can give any clear idea thereof to the brain-mind otherwise than by mathematics. One physicist-astronomer, J. J. Thomson, some years ago calculated that the ether of space was two thousand million times denser than lead. This revoices an old doctrine; but remember that the proper manner of expressing this fact all depends upon the way in which we look at it. We have eyes evolved to sense, to pierce, the matter of our sphere, and we see what seems to us to be vacuity, emptiness; but actually that seeming vacuity or emptiness is absolutely full, is, in fact, a plenum, a pleroma, full of worlds and spheres and planes, full of hierarchies, of evolving entities on these worlds and spheres and planes. Our entire surya-system is an aggregate body poised in space. This would include all the "emptiness" that we see, or think we see, the emptiness so called; composed of concentric spheres centered in the Sun, and each one of these spheres is a cosmic world. Its heart — the heart of each one of them — is the Sun. The world or sphere of our Earth is one such, and surrounds the Sun as a sphere of dense substance, and the nucleus in this sphere or egg, for such it is, is what we commonly call our Earth. | | | | | |---|---|---|---| |Yang Surya: Ajna area|Pituitary gland, controls other glands|Saturn|lead| **Steiner's Zoe** What does it mean to become a human being? It means to attain “I” consciousness. The Spirits of Personality came to I-consciousness because something was outside of them. This was a part of themselves that they had let stream out of themselves in order to differentiate objectively through external validation. They created a realm next to their own and at the same time they produced a reflection of their own inner life in the external. Consequently when the Saturn phase came to an end the Spirits of Personality could not let the planet disappear; they could not intervene in the sphere that had offered them the possibility of self-consciousness. Pralaya could not have arisen for Saturn through the Archai alone. Higher spirits, The Thrones, had to step in and dissolve everything that existed, temporarily, to satisfy the recapitulation stage. After which a planetary dawn ensued and the second metamorphosis of Saturn, the Sun state, arose. Because the Archai had left a part of their own being externalized, it proceeded to differentiate and develop during the new era, and the Archai had to concern themselves with it. Thus they became bound to Karma. This was the destiny of Saturn: world karma or cosmic, universal Karma. The karma of warmth eggs divided itself into light and smoke. Thus, the new planet resolved itself into burning atmospheric gasses (or smoke) and light. Smoke was the denser condition and light was the heat returning to the higher condition. All new creation results in smoke and light (a flash). All Suns today are passing through the same process: Inwardly they are streaming masses of gas; on the other hand they cause the gas to turn into light and they ray forth the light into the universe. In the warmth of ancient Saturn, the Spirits of Personality were able to become human. In the light of the Sun the Archangels became human. Just as the Archai found their selves –the I-consciousness – by forming a part of themselves from the warmth; the Archangels formed their souls- the inward part of themselves- out of the light and incorporated it into an outer body of gas. So the Archangel had an outer body composed of atmosphere and interior light which shone forth. The streaming forth of light enabled the Beings to have an outer existence as they shined it out into the universe. The Sun breathed in and out: during exhalation, the surrounding world became illuminated (Sun Day), during inhalation everything became dark (Sun Night); this represents a major difference in the old Sun and the present day Sun. This illustrates a spiritual idea of a ‘fixed star’, a Universal Sun, which produces the alternation of day and night by virtue of its own inherent power. Light and darkness come about by breathing out and breathing in. Everything that of itself shines forth into our Universal Space sends the life of Spiritual Messengers, the Archangels, out with the Light. On ancient Saturn, the Spirits of Personality were mighty magicians. The Thinking Personality caused a formal residue that reappeared repeatedly: eggs that were enchanted and chained to a further existence. (or karma) Hence an entity or being at the human stage creates forms from its surroundings. Now, life progresses one stage further during the Sun Period with the Archangels. The nature of the Archangeloi was to enjoy floating out and merging into the spirit of the cosmos, preferring this to contracting and drawing themselves back together, which seemed constricting. It suited them to dwell in the light ether. As the Archangeloi spread out into the cosmos, especially sublime beings, having the ability to receive the Archangels came to meet them called Cherubim. So that around the globe of the old Sun we have an atmosphere surrounded by the realm of Cherubim for the benefit of the Archangels. They influenced the Archangels through the Light during the Solar Day. During the Solar night, the Cherubim influenced the Sun globe via heat through the denser smoke. The earliest beginnings of humanity were formed out of the warmth of the old Saturn. The first outlines of smoke-like, independently moving, physical animal bodies were formed by the configuration of the Cherubim reflected in the Solar gasses. The animal kingdom emerged in its first physical framework out of the Sun-mists. Our ancestors, familiar with these facts, called the beings who manifested their influences from various sides of the universal space on the old Sun, the zodiac (animal circle). That is the original; meaning. From the exalted hierarchy, the Thrones separated the fire matter out of their own substance (on ancient Saturn) and the even higher beings the Cherubim, were able to receive into themselves, the light that arose from this fiery substance and to transfigure and ennoble it. But a corresponding compensation, a lowering process takes place each time there is an uplifting. For the Archangels to have the opportunity of extending their spiritual existence by day, the Cherubim had to continue their activity at night and to produce from the, mist, smoke and fumes, animal beings, or beings which stand below the level of humanity. **Assorted Notes on Sun** (in general) Eloha, a feminine passive potency; from the union of these two was produced _Tiphereth_ טפּארת, Beauty, Clemency, the Spiritual Sun, - - Beauty and Harmony - Christ Consciousness - Universal Love - Central IV. The EMPEROR = Heh = Aries. Notice the Ram's Heads on his throne. He is called THE SUN OF THE MORNING-CHIEF AMONG THE MIGHTY ONES. **Sheep, Lambs, etc.** When sheep are mentioned in the bible, it signifies the good of innocence in every state in which nevertheless truths have been implanted.  Relating to sheep, by nature; They are harmless and very gentle, never quarrelling among themselves. They are fond of one another, feeding together in a flock, their noses almost touching as they nibble the grass, and lying close together in the shade. Besides being fond of one another, sheep become strongly attached to their shepherd, or to one who takes care of them. The sheep are instinctual to follow the ram who instinctually leads. But here the lead Ram is the Shepherd. The shepherd goes before, and the sheep follow, knowing his voice and often answering to their names. (John x. 4) we find lambs most often among little children, when they are good and gentle. They are innocent and love one another; they love their parents and depend on them for everything, as lambs upon their shepherd. Is there a similar innocence and trustfulness in older people? Who is their shepherd? We know that the truest innocence is given when we are born again and become as little children of our Heavenly Father. All the innocent affections we have, depend on the Lord to be sustained and instructed. "He shall feed his flock like a shepherd; he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young." (Isa. xl. 11) picture the helplessness and panic of a trustful heart, when it is without the sense of Divine support. "Now this is that which thou shalt offer upon the altar; two lambs of the first year day by day continually. The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning; and the other lamb thou shalt offer at even." (Exod. xxix. 38, 39) It means that in the beginning and end of each day, and of each state and each new undertaking, we should come to the Lord with innocent trustfulness. from the sheep or from the goats. . . . And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it. . . . And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you." (Exod. xii. 3-13) the blood of the lamb upon the door, which kept away the plague? The blood of the lamb is the current of innocent thought which flows from innocent affection. When such thoughts stand guard at the door of the mind, evil is powerless to enter. What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? (Lk 15:3-7) The Lord entrusted to our keeping the sheep of gentle, innocent affections when we were little children; but have none of them been lost? The parable tells of our duty to search out and restore these innocent affections in our lives, and that the Lord and the angels rejoice in such repentance "there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flocks by night." (Luke ii. 8) There were a few people in that time of darkness who still cared for innocence. These are the ones to whom angels can draw near, and lead them to see the Divine innocence of the Lord. "Feed my lambs "; "Feed my sheep "; "Feed my sheep." (John xxi. 15-17) Plainly it shows the duty of disciples of the Lord to keep alive and strengthen innocence in human hearts. "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves "? (Matt. vii. 15) He describes selfish, cruel, deceitful persons, or such motives in ourselves, hiding behind the kindly words and ways which belong to an innocent heart. Pure, gentle, affectionate words and manners are the proper clothing of innocent, lamblike affections; they are the wool of the spiritual sheep. And they make good clothing for us all. The wolf shall abide with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf, and the young lion, and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them; the sucking child shall play on the hole of the viper, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the basilisk's den; they shall not corrupt themselves in all the mountain of My holiness. the root of Jesse, which standeth for an ensign of the peoples, shall the nations seek, and his rest shall be glory (Isa. 11:6, 8-10);there is here described the state of peace and innocence in the heavens and in the church after the Lord came into the world; and as a state of peace and innocence is described, mention is made of a lamb, a kid, a calf, a suckling child and a weaned child and by all of these is signified the good of innocence-the inmost good of innocence by a "lamb," the interior good of innocence by a "kid," and the exterior good of innocence by a "calf;" the son of a pigeon" and by "a turtle-dove" was signified innocence in like manner as by a "lamb;" by "childbirth" in the spiritual sense is signified the birth of the church, which is that of the good of love, for no other birth is understood in heaven; and by the burnt-offering and sacrifice from these is signified purification from evils through the good of innocence; for this good is that into which the Divine flows, and through which it purifies. He who sinned through error was to offer a lamb, or a kid of the goats, or two turtle-doves, or two sons of pigeons, for guilt (Lev. 5:1-13) **The Stars of the Second Decan of Aries** The Sun Genii which relate to Aries encompass the first four Beings of the 45 Solar Genii, which also reputedly relate to these Stars: Al Genib, Sirrah, Batem Kaitos, and Mirach (which is shared by the 1st Decan of Taurus). The Constellations, and thus the Stars in them, marched across the Heavens in a fixed progression. In these Constellations (with + the stars) the Greeks saw their Gods and with their gods, the stories surrounding them. It is therefore not the group of Stars that outline the Constellation, but the surrounding darkness into which the Greeks projected their world-perspective. Therefore the Stars will have the qualities of an Enlightened (Divine) Being and the Story surrounding it will be of utter Darkness, because it is the psyche projecting its fears and instinctualities into the inky black night from the inky black subconscious. **Al Genib** Al Genib is the Star-name associated with Emnasut, the First Genius of the Sun Sphere. There are currently two Stars that are known by that name in contemporary Astronomy; the 7th ranking Star in the Constellation Pegasus and the Highest ranking Star in the Constellation Perseus. Though Pegasus is related to the Perseus Mythology, somewhat, we will looking at The Elbow of the Pleiades (known today as Mirfak), because it is the Traditional Al Genib.  In fact, Mirfak and its constellation Perseus sit directly north of the Pleiades star cluster. However, you can take a more direct route to Mirfak – that is, if you’re familiar with the M or W-shaped constellation Cassiopeia the Queen. Draw an imaginary line through the Cassiopeia stars (Gamma Cassiopeiae) and Ruchbah to jump over to Mirfak. Mirfak is the one Perseus star to stand out in moderately light-polluted skies, as its brilliance matches that of the Big Dipper stars.  Perseus' Mother was Danae. Her father was afraid if she had any children he would be killed by one of her sons so he kept her in an open court-yard with brass walls. Since the Sun could shine in through the top, Zeus impregnated her via a shower of Gold. The King, being fearful of his life but unwilling to offend the gods by killing baby Perseus outright, put Mother and son into a wooden chest and cast them into the sea. They washed ashore on an island and were taken in by the fishermen who lived there. The King of the island has a brother who raised the boy, Perseus. Now the King falls in love with the Mother but Perseus doesn't like him, so the King plots to get rid of the boy. The King throws a party where everybody in attendance must give him a horse. But the youth Perseus doesn't have a horse to give to the King so he says "Name your gift and I'll get it for you". This is just what the King was waiting for and tells Perseus to bring him the head of Medusa, the only mortal Gorgon. Medusa had been a mortal woman with beautiful hair but had lain with Poseidon in the Temple of Athena. In punishment for desecrating her temple Athena changed Medusa's hair into snakes and her eyes would turn people to stone. We take a minute here to reflect upon Athena. Athena was Ares' sister, but was the opposite of him, being the goddess of Wisdom (and so Philosophy). Her father Zeus lay with Metis, the goddess of crafty thought and wisdom and began to fear. He was afraid of what the offspring of that union might be, so he tried to suppress it by 'swallowing her down towards his belly. But it was too late, Metis had already conceived. This gave Zeus an 'splitting' headache, causing his head to cleave in half and Athena leapt out full grown and armed for battle. She gave a war-cry so terrifying that the Earth and Heavens trembled. This is said to be the conception of a world through the word (or Logos). Keen students will remember this event and others like it are what caused Hera, Zeus' disgruntled wife to conceive and bear a son (Hephaestus) without him. So getting back to Medusa, the lovely mortal woman who used to serve in the temple of Athena; when she had union with the subliminal psyche of the subconscious, she had desecrated her vows of philosophical wisdom and became hideous to look upon. Perhaps this is what the Island King (Polydectes) had in mind when he sent young Perseus to bring back her head, as reason would have convinced him that his mother's future would be auspicious in Royal marriage but the youth had objected based upon visceral prejudice. Before confronting Medusa, Perseus has a few other adventures and eventually is outfitted with a knapsack, an adamantine sword (from Zeus; adamant is Diamond); a hood of Invisibility (from Hades; cf. cloak of Invisibility, cloak of Invulnerability); winged sandals with which to fly (from Hermes); and a polished shield (from Athena; the Mirror-shield of Wisdom). Perseus then proceeded to the Gorgons' cave. In the cave he came upon the sleeping Medusa. By viewing Medusa's reflection in his polished shield, he safely approached and cut off her head. From her neck sprang Pegasus ("he who sprang") and Chrysaor ("bow of gold"), the result of Poseidon and Medusa's meeting. The other two Gorgons pursued Perseus, but, wearing his helm of darkness, he escaped. Perseus and Andromeda On the way back to Seriphos Island, Perseus stopped in the kingdom of Ethiopia. This mythical Ethiopia was ruled by King Cepheus and Queen Cassiopeia. Cassiopeia, having boasted her daughter Andromeda equal in beauty to the Nereids, drew down the vengeance of Poseidon, who sent an inundation on the land and a sea serpent, Cetus, which destroyed man and beast. The oracle of Ammon announced that no relief would be found until the king exposed his daughter Andromeda to the monster, and so she was fastened to a rock on the shore. Perseus slew the monster and, setting her free, claimed her in marriage.  A title popular at one time, and still seen, was the **Rescuer**, according to the story. **Assorted notes:** The name **Medusa** and the word **medicine** come from the same Indo-European root; ***_med_**_-_ (the name of the sorceress and drug-brewer Medea also comes from this root). The blood that flowed on Medusa's left side was said to be fatal poison. The blood from her right side was beneficial. The physician Aesculapius (Ophiuchus) used her blood to heal. Medusa had serpents for hair which might represent herbs and chemicals used in medicine (see Serpens). Snakes were seen as having the properties of different poisons (venom) according to their species; Isidore says "Of these animals there are as many poisons (_venom_) as there are kinds” Algol is the second brightest star in the Constellation Perseus. This name comes fro the Aribic name Hamil Ras al Ghul: bearer of the demon's head, or portens caput larvae. Cacodaemona was the astrologers' name for this constellation, with special reference to Algol as marking the demon's head; while Schickard, Novidius, and the biblical school generally said that it was David with the head of Goliath. Algol, the Demon, the Demon Star, and the Blinking Demon, from the Arabian, the Demon's Head. Al Ghul literally signifies a Mischief-maker, and the name still appears in the Ghoul of the _Arabian Nights_ and of our day. With astronomical writers of three centuries ago Algol was Caput Larvae, the Spectre's Head. Hipparchos and Pliny made a separate constellation of the Gorgon stars as the **Head of Medusa**, this descending almost to our own day, although always connected with Perseus. The Hebrews knew Algol as Rōsh ha Sāṭān, Satan's Head, Chilmead's Rosch hassatan, the Divels head; but also as **Līlīth**, Adam's legendary first wife, the nocturnal vampire from the lower world that reappeared in the demonology of the Middle Ages as the witch Lilis. (We are indebted to the Talmudists for this story, which probably originated in Babylonia; and they added that, after Adam had separated from Līlīth and their demon children, Eve was created for him. Our Authorized Version renders the original word, in_Isaiah_ xxxiv.14, by "screech owl"; the Revised Version, by "night-monster"; Cheyne adopts the Hebrew Lilith in the _Polychrome Bible_; and _Luther's Bible_ had Kobold, but this corresponded to the Scottish Brownie and the English "Robin Goodfellow," — Shakespeare's "Puck." Saint Jerome's _Vulgate_ translated it "Lamia," the Greek and Roman title for the fabled woman, beautiful above, but a serpent below, that Keats reproduced in his _Lamia_.) The Chinese gave it the gruesome title Tseih She, the Piled-up Corpses. Astrologers of course said that it was the most unfortunate, violent, and dangerous star in the heavens. **The Star Sirrah** Sirrah is the brightest Star in the constellation Andromeda. The Story of Andromeda has already been discussed in the Myth of Perseus: (Long ago in Ethiopia Andromeda has been the daughter of Cassiopeia and Cepheus. Unfortunately her mother was overbearing that she thought herself to be more beautiful than the daughters of Nereus, a god of the sea. So Cassiopeia was hit by the anger and the revenge of the god Poseidon. To punish the mother, Andromeda was chained to a rock of the coast as a sacrifice for a sea monster. Yet she escaped this fate for she was saved from death by Perseus. For rescuing her he demanded Andromeda as his wife (which the parents gladly accepted).  **The Star Batem Kaitos** Otherwise known as Cetus, Batem Kaitos is a topaz-yellow Star in the Constellation Whale or Sea Monster. The Mythological significance of the Sea Monster is told in the stories above. The astrological influences of the star **Batem Kaitos**: It gives compulsory transportation, change or emigration, misfortune by force or accident, shipwreck but also rescue, falls and blows. The Whale really means "monster". The Saturnine properties, such as inhibition, reserve, caution, solitude and simplicity are often forced onto such people, either by a mundane power or a higher power. Sometimes ideas are propagated which make life for the native trying or troublesome. To such persons, fate is usually one of change. People influenced thus, tend to depression or dwell on the thought of death. Life often is full of humiliation, renunciation and obstacles. But the position of the complete chart is always important. These attributions are similar in nature to the attributes of Pisces, mixed with Saturn, especially in the sense of Law directed by the subconscious psyche. In Greek mythology Cetus represents the sea monster sent to devour Andromeda, but in earlier times it was identified with the primeval Mesopotamian monster Tiamat. It is depicted as a strange, ferocious beast which swims alongside Eridanus the River accompanied by Pisces the Fishes. All its stars are of the nature of Saturn according to Ptolemy.  **The Star Mirach** Mirach is the second brightest star in the Constellation of Andromeda. Enough has been said about her Mythology above. It is shared with the 3rd Decan of Ares (traditionally attributed to Venus, but Jyotishi ruled by Jupiter)  Influences of the Star **Mirach** Bearing in mind that Ptolemy is probably interpreting the Last Decan of Ares under the Rulership of Venus, rather than Jupiter; though many of the following attributes justifiably come from Taurus, whose ruling planet is Venus. According to Ptolemy the influence of this constellation is similar to that of Venus, though the legend would lead one to suppose some connection with Virgo. It is said to bestow purity of thought, virtue, honor and dignity upon its natives, but to cause battle with chimerical (wildly fanciful, highly improbable) fears and a tendency to become easily discouraged. It gives love between husband and wife and reconciles adulterers. According to Ptolemy it is of the nature of Venus; and of Mars and the Moon. It gives personal beauty, a brilliant mind, a love of home, great devotion, beneficence, forgiveness, love, overcoming by kindness, renown, and good fortune in marriage. Many interests, tendency to inspiration and medium-ship as a base for artistic creations, altruism, cheerfulness, happiness, love of company. These people have a stimulating effect on others, they make friends easily and are helped on in life by others_._ **The Stars of Aries** Four other stars, notable to the Constellation of Aries are: Mesartim (left horn); Sharatan (left horn, also); Hamal (head of the sheep); and Botein (flank of hind leg). The myth of Aries tells how the hero Phrixus was fleeing from his stepmother Mo on the back of a ram with his sister Helle. During the journey Helle fell into the sea (which was afterwards called Hellespont) but Phrixus escaped and later sacrificed the ram in tribute to Jupiter. He hung its fleece in the grove of Ares where it turned to gold, later to be pursued by Jason.  The golden fleece had the power to restore life to the dead, an allusion to the creativity that is restored to the earth upon the Sun's return to the vernal equinox in the northern hemisphere (now fixed to denote the first point of Aries but at the time of Astrology's development falling within this constellation). Creative energy is invested into the symbolism of this star-group but too much of it can lead to violence, intemperance and 'blood-rush'.  Ptolemy recorded the stars in the tail of Aries as like Venus, those in the hind foot like Mars, those in the mouth like Mercury (with a moderate degree of Saturn) and those in the head like Mars and Saturn. The brightest are in the head and the main star, **Hamal**(meaning 'Head of the Sheep') marks the forehead. This is a 2nd magnitude star, yellow in colour, which was worshipped by the Greeks at the festival of Jupiter Ammon, where they celebrated the return of the Sun to Aries with the slaughter of rams. Its influence is generally unfortunate and it is associated with violence, danger, and head injuries. The second star of importance, **Sharatan**, is situated on the left horn. This is a pearly white star, of 3rd magnitude, which is often considered in partnership with its 5th magnitude companion a little lower down the horn - **Mesarthim** - the two being known to the Persians as 'the Protecting Pair', or 'the Butters'. Its name derives from _Al Sharatain_ 'the Two Signals'. As suggested by the image of a ram's horn and its Mars/Saturn nature, its influence is a violent one.  Ptolemy claimed that the stars in the forward and hinder parts of Aries may denote abnormal sexual behaviour when Venus is with them, afflicted by Saturn and the Moon. This would include Hamal, Sharatan, Mesartim and a 4th star of astrological note: **Botein**, which lies on the flank of the hind leg near the tail. **Attributes** The Magical attributes associated with the 2nd Decan of Aries are as follows: **Sun** in Aries Binah in Atziluth, infl. of Binah in the world of Pure Spirit. The Balance of Chokmah and Binah given forth in Tiphareth (Christ). Growth begins. Blossoming (of the Lotus). Entrance of Sun into Aries heralds Spring. The Sun Illuminates Aries, the Sign of Cardinal Fire, ruled by Mars. The result is great strength in individual expression, but also egocentricity which may manifest in Pride and Conceit (obviously taking Sun attributes from Leo definitions ). The traditional deck shows the Chi-Rho (obviously referring to Christ) the Waite card showing right arm (power; might) but also 2 against 1 (imbalance) or alternately dynamization (dynamic equilibrium). **Tarot** card: 3 of wands " Lord of Established Strength " **Principals** of the 2nd Decan: Igigi (11° Aries) - This head teaches the magician how to get power over men and animals. At the same time he shows him how to dynamise magic formulae so that they have a specially strong effect. Bialode (12° Aries) - The magician will learn from this intelligence how he can procure magical authority. He is taught how to use the powers of the earth zone at will, furthermore the method of changing base metals into pure metals. The magician with a specially strong disposition to magic may get this intelligence so far as to bring about the transmutation of the metals by itself. Bialode also introduces the magician to the magic of the sun, that is the magician is taught how to make conscious use of the powers of the sun in the mental, astral and physical plane on a magical basis and also how to protect himself against negative influences of the sun-sphere during his mental wanderings there. Opilon (13° Aries) - is capable of assisting the magician in all operations either personally or by his servants. He can furthermore instruct the magician in any field of **science** of the physical plane; that is, he can grant him knowledge. Jrachro (14° Aries) - This intelligence also can by himself or by his subordinates help the magician with all his operations on the physical plane. Moreover it can make him eloquent and sharp witted and at the same time teaches him how, by means of the Akasha-principle, he can rouse this faculty within himself as well as with others. Golog (15° Aries) - This head is well acquainted with any field of **science** in our physical world, and there exists no problem which he would not be able to solve. Golog is regarded as a great philosopher and exposes the synthesis of philosophy to the magician by intuition and inspiration. Argilo (16° Aries) - This head assists the magician, theoretically and practically, in all questions of love and friendship in the mental, astral and physical plane. The magician may have all his demands in this respect fulfilled by this head. Barnel (17° Aries) - Like Argilo, this intelligence is well acquainted with the art of love and is an expert in excellent practices which make one win the favor of friends and enemies of both sexes. Barnal gives the magician special instructions and makes him acquainted with special methods in respect to the magic of sympathy. This head not only places at the magician's disposal good beings from his own region, but also enables him to get into touch with particular beings of the air which otherwise are very shy of the earth and therefore hard to contact. Barnal is also an expert in music, and if the magician desires it, he inspires him with musical compositions, provided the magician is basically interested in music. Sernpolo (18° Aries) - Assisted by this intelligence the magician can quickly develop his talent for languages. Sernpolo also helps the magician improve his position in life and gives him methodical instructions how to make practical use of the magnetic powers within his range of effectiveness. Hyris (19° Aries) - is an expert in the magic of water with regard to the elements, to the magnetic fluid, and to bring about effects with these powers. Hyris can reveal to the magician many possible influences by the element of water on our physical world and, apart from this, let him know special secrets and give him special instructions regarding the realm of the undines. Hahadu (20° Aries) - is not only well acquainted with the magic of water, but he can also, due to his special faculties, give the magician various instructions in respect of the preparation of liquid fluid condensers, especially for their charging with magnetic fluids. Hahadu is very much liked in the kingdom of the undines, that is the element of water, and should the magician ask for it, this head of the region of the water-element can send him as many male and female servants as he may need for the realization of his wishes. **Lunar Intelligences** (White of Silvery Color) **Shaddai El Chai** **Ebvap** - is the name of the first head of the Moon sphere. It is his commission to control the regularity of the tide. He is an excellent initiator into the electric and magnetic fluids and their use in moon magic. If the magician carefully follows the explanations of this head and does as he is told, he is able to produce phenomena in the zone girdling the earth as well as in our physical world, on all three planes, the mental, astral and physical that are nothing short of miracles, by means of the magnetic influences of the moon and the electric fluid of the earth. Besides this, Ebvap and his subordinates protect the magician against any unfavorable influences which he might have to encounter during his work with the influences of the moon. The first head of the moon sphere can, furthermore, unveil to the magician a great number of mysteries that until now may have remained hidden to him. **Emtircheyud** - is the second head of the Moon sphere. He is responsible for controlling the rhythm in our physical world. This rhythm is produced by suitable intelligences of the zone girdling the earth in the world of causes at the will of this head. He teaches the magician the laws of biorhythm and periodicity of our earth and their use for mantic and magical purposes. The magician learns that the nine months of a woman's pregnancy have a special relation to the Qabalistic number nine, the number of the moon. Furthermore, the magician will get from this head exact details of the analogy of a woman's menstruation to the moon, of periodicity, of polarity and of many other relevant things. **Mercurian**; Angels of the Decan: **Sitael** - the third genius, is an excellent **expert in hypnosis**, **suggestion and telepathy**. By him the magician will be taught the faculty of becoming perfect master of man and animal by way of **_deception, dazzling, etc_**. Apart from this, he will be instructed in the art of reading easily the past, present and future in the Akasha-principle. **Elemiah** - The fourth genius instructs the magician not only how to become the **master** of **his own fate**, but also how to control the fates of other people and of animals. Furthermore, the magician learns how to _charge magic_ _words by Qabalistic methods and to transfer them into the Akasha-principle_ _in order to bring about the desired effect in the mental, astral or physical_ _world_, and how, by diverse methods of passive intercourse to get into touch with the dead. **Venusian**; Beings of the Venus Sphere: (7 assoc w/ Aries) Name (Astro degrees) Specialty **Omah**  (1-4° Aries) Sex Magic **Odujo**  (5-8° Ar) Sex Magic **Obideh**  (9-12° Ar) Sex Magic **Onami** (13-16° Ar) Sex Magic **Opshe**  (17-20° Ar) Sex Magic **Orif**  (21-24° Ar) Sex Magic **Obaneh**  (25-28° Ar) Sex Magic **Solar** Genii: **Emnasut** - The first genius of the Sun sphere guards and controls the **original element of the fire** in the whole cosmic hierarchy, on all planets and in {Sh} all spheres. [cf. Sch] The 'Shin' in Yeheshuah and upon the Crown **Lubech** - The second genius of the Sun sphere controls, in his range of {K} power, **the electric fluids** _deriving from the fire principle_ on all planets and in all spheres of our universe, including all three planes: mental, astral and physical. [cf. S or T] (or this expressed through the Christ Principle in the Sun Sphere) **Teras** - The third genius is responsible for the _positive and negative_ _effectiveness of the fire element and the electrical fluids_ in the whole cosmic {T} hierarchy, on all planets and in all spheres. **Dubezh** - The _power_ of **the active principle**, in man as well as in the mineral, vegetable and animal kingdoms, comes under the range of power of {S} the fourth genius. The Power in Man or the Christ Jesus So, as we have the Sun, active in Man, and representing the Fiery Spirit and Its Triple Aspect; we have 1) the Spiritual Essence, or One 2) the Mind or Spiritual aspect in Man (the Belief) 3) the Fire of the Soul, or Solar plexus (Astral Magic), and 4) the Fire of Earth or the Body of Man (the vehicle ). We might otherwise name these Divinities (Beings of Light): Eheieh (I AM the ONE); Eloah; Shaddai El Chai; Adonai (ha Ophir) [recall that Uriel = 'God is our Light'] **Sphere of Mars** Name (Zodiac) Rarum  (1-10° Aries) **Gibsir**  (11-20° Ari) Rahol  (21-30° Ari) **Jovian Sphere:** **Malchjdael** - Aries - is the first genius of the Jupiter sphere, who keeps _in equilibrium the_ **electric fluid** of the whole cosmic hierarchy. **His job is to** **enliven everything** created in all three kingdoms of our earth and the zone girdling the earth. Malchjdael _controls and directs_ **the will** and **the activity** of every human being and all other creatures. If the magician gets into contact with this original genius, he can _be informed_ about everything regarding this and, apart from this, he will be made acquainted with methods which will enable him to increase or decrease activity at his will by force of magic and Qabalah. Following the directions given by this genius, the magician is **capable of creating such a strong state of belief** by _magic_ and _Qabalah_ that he can **work miracles** in the cosmic world _due to this intensified activity_. Besides this, Malchjdael can initiate the magician into the **original element of** **fire** in all its aspects and analogies in the microcosm and macrocosm, and give him directions and methods regarding the complete control of this original element in all its phases by magic and Qabalah, in order to become absolute sovereign of activity in the microcosm and macrocosm. There are, however, many more laws, wisdom and kinds of knowledge regarding activity, electrical fluid, original fire element, principles of light, etc., with which this original genius may not only make the magician acquainted, but which the latter may also get under his control **_by an apt Abisheka_**, i. e. an apt transfer of power. In sphere magic, this original genius is one of the most powerful, and no magician should fail to get into contact with him, since he will, by this connection, gain a power in the cosmic hierarchy that no other intelligence of any other sphere, perhaps with the only exception of the Uranus intelligences, could give him.
