rst two initiations work out largely in the astral body. but it must ever be remembered that the major initiations are taken in the causal body or dissociated from that body on the buddhic plane or atmic plane. at the final two initiations which set a man free from the three worlds, and enable him to function in the body of vitality of the logos and wield that force, the initiate becomes the five-pointed star and it descends upon him, merges in him, and he is seen at its very centre. this descent is brought about by the action of the initiator, wielding the rod of power, and puts a man in touch with the centre in the body of the planetary logos of which he is a part, and this consciously. the two initiations called the sixth and seventh take place on the buddhic and atmic planes; the five

e intelligent purpose of some being, working out in active objectivity, and having touched upon the inter-relation existing between certain of these entities, it may now be possible to vision even if somewhat cursorily and dimly the true position of the manasic principle in all three cases. the whole mystery of this principle is hidden in two fundamentals: the mystery of the resolution of the six-pointed star, into the five-pointed star.40,(124)41 the mystery of the lords of karma, who are, in themselves, the sole recipients of the mind purposes of that cosmic entity who enfolds our solar logos within his consciousness. when, therefore, the esoteric side of astrology, and of mystical geometry, has been studied, and alliance has been made between these two sciences, a flood of light will be

he subplanes of which we call the mental, astral, and physical planes. when the five and the four are perfectly blended, we shall have achieved the nine of a major initiation, and when the six is added we shall have the resolution into one of the- 233- a treatise on cosmic fire copyright 1998 lucis trust groups embodied by a kumara, as has been hinted earlier. this marks the resolution of the six-pointed star finally into the five-pointed star; this is a great mystery, and concerns primarily the heavenly man of our scheme, and only incidentally the groups within his body of etheric manifestation. it will, therefore, be apparent that if all manifestation is the embodiment in form of a cosmic conception, and the working out of it in concrete shape, manas or intelligence is a basic factor of

the planes he seeks to reach, and thereby demonstrating the truth of the statement that in order to tread the path he must become that path itself, and the accuracy of the occult truth that the antaskarana is itself but illusion. ponder on this, for it carries illumination for those who have eyes to see. in the process of treading that path and of achieving the goal, man is resolved into the five-pointed star, finally into the triangle of spirit. between these two stages is a mysterious esoteric stage wherein he is resolved into the four, not this time the four of the lower quaternary, but a higher four. he becomes part of the consciousness of that occult group hinted at in various places which stands next to the three logoi, the four great maharajahs, the dispensers of karma, the reposito

t maharajahs, the dispensers of karma, the repositories of cosmic purpose, who are reflected (but only reflected) in the logoic quaternary, or in those four heavenly men who embody (with their synthesising third) logoic manas. these four with the synthesising one are in themselves the sumtotal of manas, the brahma aspect, or intelligence in activity. karma works through manas, and only as the six-pointed star (or the sumtotal of concrete mind in its various divisions) becomes the five-pointed star, or the synthesis of the lower into the abstract or higher, is the transmutation into the three, or the spiritual triad, made possible via the four, or the formless repositories of karmic purpose; thus is liberation achieved, thus is man set free, and the microcosm attains being without the neces

is the transmutation into the three, or the spiritual triad, made possible via the four, or the formless repositories of karmic purpose; thus is liberation achieved, thus is man set free, and the microcosm attains being without the necessity of form-taking. a hint here in connection with the microcosm may help: when the microcosm has transcended the three worlds of matter and has become the five pointed star, he passes into the consciousness of the monad, or pure spirit, via the fourth plane of buddhi. for him the buddhic plane is the plane of karmic correspondence. on it he enters into the sphere of conscious co-operation in the working out of karma for a heavenly man, having- 234- a treatise on cosmic fire copyright 1998 lucis trust completely worked out his personal karma in the lower

o planetary logoi, are largely instrumental in bringing about coherency in our chain, the fourth of the fourth scheme, and on our physical globe, the earth. the fourth and the seventh interact, one acting temporarily as a negative force and the other as a positive. the fifth kumara, the lord of the seventh ray (for it is necessary to keep in mind his dual position as one of the points of the five-pointed star of brahma, and as one of the triangles in the sevenfold logoic body) has a unique position as the "ruler of the building devas" of the physical plane, the devas of the ethers, in cooperation with their deva lord. he guides and directs the production of the form by means of certain occult words. he works, therefore, through the etheric body of all forms and it is through his inflowing

tter and he takes physical incarnation, which was touched upon when considering the subject of "fire by friction" it will consequently be apparent that, in considering the manifestation of the ego, we are dealing with the point of central emphasis in man's threefold manifestation. we are concerning ourselves with that division of his nature which concerns the process of making him the perfect six-pointed star during the preliminary stage (the threefold personality and the threefold triad merged and blended and perfectly produced through the intermediate point the causal body) and which, when the physical body is eliminated, makes him the five-pointed star or perfected manasaputra. to state the whole in terms of fire: the causal body is produced by means of the positive life, or fire, of th

imulation or revelation of these inner petals, by the one initiator at the third and fourth initiations which brings about the final conflagration and the blazing up of the causal body with the subsequent liberation of the central positive life or fire. 2. the twelve-petalled egoic lotus solar fire is dual. it is the fire of matter or substance and the fire of mind blended. this makes man the six-pointed star of light, for each of these fires is triple. the fire of mind is also in essence dual, bringing in another triplicity, thus making the nine. when a man has awakened the nine fires, and has unfolded the nine petals, and when he has received the stimulus which is imparted at initiation, through being brought into conscious contact with the electric spark of his own particular heavenly m

ifestation which is definitely objective, one type of force working through the etheric manifestation, and the other through the dense physical. this will as yet prove an insoluble mystery to the student, but in the significance of numbers much can be discovered. this angle of the matter should be studied in order to bring out the true meaning of this sixth order of devas, whose symbol is the six-pointed star set at a particular angle and in full manifestation. the six-pointed star is the sign that a "son of necessity (no matter whether god or man) has sought physical incarnation. the devas of the sixth order, the agnisuryans, are a prime factor in bringing this about. in the sixth round these devas will begin to make their presence felt more and more potently, but the strength of their vi

bers three, four and five in the evolution of consciousness. numerology has hitherto been studied primarily, and rightly, from the substance aspect, but not so much from the standpoint of conscious energy. the triad, for instance, is usually looked upon by our students as the triangle formed by the manasic-buddhic and atmic permanent atoms; the cube stands for the lower material man, and the five-pointed star has frequently a very material interpretation. all these angles of vision are necessary, and must precede the study of the subjective aspect, but they lay the emphasis upon the material rather than upon the subjective; the subject nevertheless should be studied psychologically. in this solar system, the above numbers are the most important from the angle of the evolution of consciousn

ial rather than upon the subjective; the subject nevertheless should be studied psychologically. in this solar system, the above numbers are the most important from the angle of the evolution of consciousness. in the earlier system, the numbers six and seven held the mystery hid. in the next system, it will be two and one. this refers only to the psychical development. let me illustrate: the five-pointed star on the mental plane signifies (among other things) the evolution, by means of the five senses in the three worlds (which are also capable of a fivefold differentiation) of the fifth principle, the attainment of self-consciousness, and the development of the fifth spirilla. on the buddhic plane, when flashing forth at initiation, this number signifies the full development of the fifth

on the five rays- 412- a treatise on cosmic fire copyright 1998 lucis trust under the mahachohan, and the assimilation of all that is to be learned upon them, and the attainment not only of full self-consciousness, but also of the consciousness of the group wherein a man is found. it infers the full unfoldment of five of the egoic petals, leaving four to open before the final initiation. the five-pointed star at the initiations on the mental plane flashes out above the head of the initiate. this concerns the first three initiations which are undergone in the causal vehicle. it has been said that the first two initiations take place upon the astral plane and this is correct, but has given rise to a misunderstanding. they are felt profoundly in connection with the astral and physical bodies

on works out largely in the astral body. but it must ever be remembered that the major initiations are taken in the causal body or dissociated from that body on the buddhic plane. at the final two initiations, which set a man free from the three worlds and enable him to function in the logoic body of vitality and to wield the force which animates that logoic vehicle, the initiate becomes the five-pointed star, and it descends upon him, merges in him, and he is seen at its very centre. this descent is brought about through the action of the initiator, wielding the rod of power, and puts a man in touch with the centre in the body of the planetary logos of which he is a part; this is consciously effected. the two initiations, called the sixth and seventh, take place on the atmic plane; the fi

nted star, and it descends upon him, merges in him, and he is seen at its very centre. this descent is brought about through the action of the initiator, wielding the rod of power, and puts a man in touch with the centre in the body of the planetary logos of which he is a part; this is consciously effected. the two initiations, called the sixth and seventh, take place on the atmic plane; the five-pointed star "blazes forth from within itself" as the esoteric phrase has it, and becomes the seven-pointed star; it descends upon the man and he enters into the flame. initiation and the mystery of numbers primarily concern consciousness, and not fundamentally "ability to function on a plane" nor the energy of matter, as might be gathered from so many occult books. they deal with the subjective l

the above is but a symbolic way of expressing a basic and difficult truth. the symbol of this path (and the only one it is possible to make exoteric) is a radiant cross of coloured light; it has the long limb formed of the seven colours of the solar spectrum, and the transverse limb is composed of twelve gradations of colours as yet unknown to man. in the centre of the cross is to be seen a five-pointed star in a deep indigo shade, and behind it is a blazing sun of a warm dark blue. above the whole are certain sensa characters, depicted in gold, and conveying to the initiated adept the name of one or other of the planetary schools in which this particular line of study is undertaken. there are, as has been already said, seven such schools and candidates for this path from our planetary sc

it should be remembered that this will have a dual reference, to the macrocosm and to the microcosm. it can refer to the five planes of monadic evolution, or to the five forms which every element takes on each and every plane, bearing in mind that this is the case as regards the mind apprehension and the modifications of the thinking principle, for mind is the fifth principle, and man is the five pointed star and therefore can (as man) achieve only a fivefold illumination. there are, however, two higher forms and two other modes of perception, i. e, the intuitional and spiritual realization. with these, however, the present sutra has not to do. the head centre is dual in itself and is composed of the centre between the eyebrows and the highest chakra, the thousand petalled lotus. the study

to experience through physical plane contacts is so dominant, that the many modifications of the mind are all turned towards the same object. when the condition is reversed and the man on the physical plane effects his own liberation, it is also by the same method, one-pointedness and unification. the old commentary makes this clear in certain lines found in relation to the symbolism of the five-pointed star. they are as follows "the plunge is downward into matter. the point descends, darts through the watery sphere and pierces into that which looms inert, immobile, darkling, silent and remote. the point of fire and stone unite, and harmony and union on the downward path are reached "the flight is upward into spirit. the point ascends, lifting the two behind and reaching out the- 219- the

therefore, full expression, a great world period comes to an end. for a long time during this cycle of reincarnations and periods of manifestation, the human being is conditioned almost entirely by the activity of the non-sacred planets. these, as you know, are five in number: the sun (veiling a planet) the moon (veiling a planet) the earth itself mars pluto man speaking symbolically is the "five-pointed star and, at the fiery points, the forces of the man pour out and upon each fiery point appears a centre of reception" this is of course pictorially expressed, but the meaning is clear. however, as man nears the path of discipleship the influence of the sacred planets becomes increasingly effective, until after the final and fifth initiation the non-sacred planets have no effect, though th

which is a result of chosen experience after initiation. it connotes mass life, leading to group life after the experience of initiation, for which its polar opposite, capricorn, stands and which finds full expression in aquarius which completes the experience of leo and fuses it with that of cancer and capricorn. these six signs: cancer. leo. virgo capricorn..a. quarius..pisces form another six-pointed star of profound significance which is the subjective counterpart of the six-pointed star (the interlaced triangles) which we call king solomon's seal. this interlacing of the two above triangles constitutes what is called a triangle of humanity and under the theories of the science of triangles it concerns the relation of the individual to the mass of humanity and of the disciple to the g

iate has to demonstrate his liberation, his understanding and his divinity. because of its position upon the fixed cross, leo comes under the influence, direct or indirect, of six planets: the sun; neptune; uranus; jupiter; venus; mars. all of these are potent in expression in this sign, achieving a determined point of revelation and producing, through their united activity and interplay, the six-pointed star of humanity. they condition the man's consciousness but not events, except in so far as his consciousness assumes control at a certain point in his evolution. connected with the esoteric science of astrology are subsidiary sciences, such as the science of triangles, to which i have frequently referred; there is also the science of relationship, which concerns the relations between the

science of triangles, to which i have frequently referred; there is also the science of relationship, which concerns the relations between the many quaternaries which can be discovered in the planetary interrelation, the relation between four constellations, plus many human and divine quaternaries. there is again the science of stars of energy, such as i have here noted when referring to the six-pointed star of humanity, and of this science king solomon's seal is the well known symbol. these stars, triangles and squares are found in all horoscopes human, planetary, systemic and cosmic and constitute the life pattern of the particular being under investigation; they determine the time of manifestation and the nature of the emanations and influences. the squares or quaternaries relate to ma

h the hierarchy, charts are kept of those members of the human family who have achieved adeptship and upwards. they are composed of superimposed squares, stars and triangles, contained within the zodiacal wheel and mounted upon the symbol of the cardinal cross. the squares, having each of their four angles and points in one or other of four zodiacal constellations, are depicted in black; the five-pointed star is depicted yellow or golden colour and its five points are in contact with five of the constellations on the great wheel; the triangles are in blue and have, above each point of the triangle, an esoteric symbol, standing for the constellations of the great bear, sirius and the pleiades. these symbols may not here be revealed but indicate the point of spiritual consciousness achieved

ing with the entire concept on a lower turn of the spiral and in connection with ordinary man, they correspond to the mental, the astral and the etheric vehicles of man. they are, therefore, related to the highest and the lowest expression of human life. i have in the above ideas given you several hints of vital importance. one of the symbols of an initiate of a certain degree is that of the five-pointed star with a triangle in the centre; this is a reference to the energy of the watery triangle with which we have just been concerned and to the fivefold linking which has been established in the consciousness of the initiate. we come now to a consideration of the rulers of this sign and to a study of the planets which act as focal points and as distributing agents for certain cosmic energie

acted and its energy evoked. hence we have the activity of the buddha at the may full moon and that of the christ at the following june full moon. their united activity serves to bring about a much closer approach between the lord of the world and the hierarchy, via his four representatives: the buddha, the christ, the manu, and the mahachohan the five points of energy which are creating the five-pointed star of humanity at this time. an ancient rule rule iv for applicants gives us in perfect wording the nature of the urge which prompts the present activity of the christ. he has accomplished his task as god the saviour. the fourth rule, as it is given to all applicants and probationary disciples, gives his work the following definition: let the disciple tend the evocation of the fire, nour

bet. there have been further developments. this cipher solution was uncovered in 1974, fully 70 years after the writing of liber al in 1979 frater lamed of the magical- qabalistic order known as the qblh was introduced to the cipher solution, and soon began work on expanding the scope of knowledge in this area with computer technology. my first attempt, says frater lamed, led me to producing a 26-pointed star (after the 26 letters in the english alphabet. after various efforts over several years, i began to re-examine the 26-pointed star that i had drawn years before. the classical english qabala contains a cycle of 11. that is, you start at a, count 11 letters and reach l, count another 11 letters and you reach w and so on until you get back to a again. it s clean and simple. so i wondere

ontains a cycle of 11. that is, you start at a, count 11 letters and reach l, count another 11 letters and you reach w and so on until you get back to a again. it s clean and simple. so i wondered how many stars could be drawn. this eventually led to frater lamed s development of the computer program, lexicon, which at this writing yields over 20,000 alternate cipher solutions, all mapped on a 26-pointed star pattern. millions of failures were encountered in the process, and the surface has barely been scratched. is this somehow embedded in the cipher of liber al? there are intriguing hints. for example, successful cipher 360 (as in 360 degrees in a circle) yields a circular pattern. but to say that there are over 20,000 variants of the cipher embedded in the book of the law creates a cert

ssful cipher generated by computer (an unsuccessful cipher would be one that duplicates a number value before giving a separate value for each of the 26 letters of the standard alphabet) as noted earlier, cipher 6 involves numbering the letters a-z by counting down from the letter a 11 times, numbering the next letter (l) 2, counting down 11 spaces again, numbering w as 3, and so on around the 26-pointed star, each point of which is a standard letter in standard sequence. for a ufologist, more interest, as has been the case with me, might lie in the conspicuous strange names given by purported aliens in the contactee lore. for example, by the late 1960s, i had noticed the jesus-like qualities of george adamski s orthon. he looked like the conventional european images of jesus, came from th

nce the 1974 cipher solution was discovered, working with it was painstaking and abominably slow. a few years later a brilliant computer software development consultant and associate of the qabalistic alchemist arcanum, frater lamed, began the development of a software program designed to research the cipher. the results were staggering. the 1974 cipher solution is perhaps best displayed as a 26- pointed star, with one point for each letter of the english alphabet. using mainframe computer technology over a 10-year period, lamed found that not only could one work easily and quickly with the original cipher, but literally thousands of alternative successful ciphers are embedded in the original star. such stars are rare; but people who have examined them geometrically as well as internally f

HANDBOOK OF EGYPTIAN MYTHOLOGY

eshat was an assistant or female counterpart of thoth, the god of wisdom and knowledge. she and thoth fixed the length of a king s reign by inscribing his name on the leaves of the ished tree at heliopolis. seshat usually wears a panther skin, a symbol of priestly office. she sometimes carries a palm frond carved with notches to mark the passing years. her mysterious headdress consists of a seven-pointed star (or seven-petaled flower) topped by an object that may be a bow or an inverted pair of horns. the goddess known as sefkhat-abwy (the seven-pointed one) is probably seshat under another name. as goddess of writing, seshat was the keeper of royal annals and genealogies. she was shown recording the booty gained by kings in battle, perhaps as a reminder that a share was due to the gods. s

o bar or wall in the soul where god the cause ceases and man the effect begins. h 222. several different kinds of stars are to be seen in the masonic lodge, and it is well to consider the special significance of each of them, for there is nothing in the lodge that is mere ornament, without meaning- on the contrary, even the simplest thing is there for a purpose and has great significance. the six-pointed star is, as we have seen, an emblem of the unity of spirit and matter, of god in manifestation in his universe. the five-pointed star is placed in the east on the wall over the head of the r.w.m. and is called the star in the east, and also the star of initiation. it is the symbol of the perfect man, god manifesting through man, not through the universe as a whole. man is a five-fold being

uitional and spiritual; and when all these parts of his nature are perfectly developed as far as that is possible in a human state of existence, he becomes the perfect man, the adept, master of himself and the five worlds or planes in which he has his being. such a man has fulfilled the instruction: gbe ye perfect, even as your father in heaven is perfect. h 223. on the t c b c there is the seven-pointed star above the ladder reaching up into the heavens. it is a symbol of the seven great lines along which all life is moving slowly upwards to completer union with the divine, of the seven ways in which man may realize perfection, and the seven rays or emanations of god through which he has filled the whole universe with the light of his life. this star also typifies the christian thought of

in the lodges of two centuries ago, the t c b c was drawn afresh on the floor with chalk for each meeting, instead of being printed; and it was considered part of a good r.w.m. fs knowledge that he should be able to draw it quickly and quite perfectly without having to look at a copy. 275. in the diagram of the t c b c we see the altar, and on it the v.s.l. from that a ladder goes up to the seven-pointed star, which represents the monad in man, in whom the seven types of life or consciousness are all to be perfect to the limits of human possibility. that star represents also the logos, the supreme consciousness of our solar system, god fs consciousness, which is already perfected in a degree altogether beyond human comprehension. 276. the ladder has many steps, which indicate the virtues b

mes the greek term logos did not yet exist, and they spoke of osiris and horus, but the teaching was the same, for there is only one fundamental truth about these things. the t c b c thus shows that the man who intelligently comprehends the scheme of the evolution of life in the world can deliberately co-operate with the divine plan, until he becomes perfectly evolved as man and reaches the seven-pointed star; and that then he is ready to pass on into still higher conditions, which are indicated on the t c b c by the clouds, the sun, the moon and the stars above. in fact, true philosophy discerns the plan drawn by t.g.a. on the tracing board of time for the building of the universe. 291. the remaining jewels, the rough and smooth ashlars, are seen in the t c b c near the pillars which repr

rd throne, of rose-coloured marble, upon which sat another well-known adept, dressed in a white garment not unlike a chasuble, heavily ornamented with blue and gold. on the front of it was embroidered a corinthian column, extending from neck to knees, and foliations sprayed out upwards from it over the shoulders, as do the orphreys of a gothic chasuble. on his breast hung by a golden chain a five-pointed star of sapphires, and from it in turn depended a ruby cross. 931. the whole central part of the lodge was left empty, though a number of brn. robed in brilliant colours sat in the columns. the lozenges of the mosaic pavement were pale rose and pale blue, and there seemed to be some additional design faintly indicated upon it by lines. there were also lines of different colours round the e

into the matter with considerable care, and also made use of it afterwards, for it was very remarkable. 971. this mantra is found, i am told, in the gopala-tapani and krishna upanishads, and is composed of five parts, as follows (1) klim, krishnaya (2) govindaya (3) gopijana (4) vallabhaya (5) swaha. as one meditates upon this with intent each syllable makes a line in such a position that a five-pointed star results, as in fig. 17. 972. figure 17 973. 974. and as the mantra is repeated these stars pile up behind one another to form a tube having this five-pointed form of cross-section, which makes a channel for spiritual force coming from shri krishna, who is the same being as the lord maitreya, the present bodhisattva or world-teacher, the great one who entered into the body of jesus as

ously out of proportion that they look as if they belonged to the well-known monstrous bird of arabian mythology, the roc."27 a curious fact concerning the original great seal seems to have eluded the notice of all the writers who have concerned themselves with its history and significance. the face of the seal contains the number 13 repeated 6 times (as totten noted. 13 x 6 equals 78. the 13 six-pointed stars on the original die also repeated this figure (13 x 6: 78, thus establishing an exact numerical balance between the crest and the entire coat of arms. the arms and crest in st. paul's chapel, n. y. c. a. l. totten was the first historian to photograph and publicize the painting of the arms and crest in st. paul's chapel in new york city:28 immediately alter the inauguration of george

entalpha, the star of isis, the star of venus and by other names. its usage can be traced back to babylon and it has often been employed in magical rites and activities. it is sometimes said that the inverted pentagram, when it has two points ascendant, connotes evil and two points descendant, or down, indicates good, but this is not so. either direction can be evil. 540 codex magica israel's six-pointed star the six-pointed star, known as the seal of solomon, as the magen david of the jews, or as the hexagram, is considered by witches and occultists of all stripes as a powerful tool of witchcraft and magic. with this image, one can cast spells, curse victims, and otherwise wreak havoc. or so it is said. the six-pointed star was especially beloved by the cabalistic rabbis of the medieval e

a powerful tool of witchcraft and magic. with this image, one can cast spells, curse victims, and otherwise wreak havoc. or so it is said. the six-pointed star was especially beloved by the cabalistic rabbis of the medieval era. the rothschild dynasty later adopted this star as a magical device and was instrumental in persuading (money talks) the fledgling zionist entity, israel, to adopt the six-pointed star as the national emblem. it is the symbol of the israel national flag, even though a more appropriate device undoubtedly would be the torah, the menorah, or some other historic or religious symbol.7 geometrically and numerically (points, lines, triangles) the six-pointed star translates into the number 666. thus, it is very possible that the six-pointed star could become the mark of th

dismissed out of hand; in the infinite mind of the all, all things are possible. the most accurate way to represent the elements is radially, grouping them in their natural order around a central point 'this diagram best conveys the actual process of their emanation. the opposites of fire-water, male-female, and active-pas- sive may be represented by interlocking triangles, which produce the six-pointed star that is the sign of the au. the third element, air, issue of the sexual union of the first two, is often designated by a circle, and this may be placed around the hexagram to show that air is the reconciling power which makes division whole. earth, the combi- nation of the previous three elements and their reflection in the material world, is often represented by a square, which shoul

sts the point of spirit in the center of the square of the elements. the pentagram is read counterclockwise following the order of the let- ters in the name: the second name is symbolic of the house of man, where the spirit, no longer hidden but exalted, has moved from the center to the top in preparation for the sixth emanation. here the pentagram is read clockwise: t he common hexagram is a six-pointed star formed by the intersection of two equilateral triangles, with one pointing up and the other down. the key to its understanding is balance. opposites are expressed but do not dominate. each extreme is held in abeyance by the other, in this sense it is similar to the cross, which also represents balanced force. there is a second form of hexagram used in magic, called the unicursal becau

kwise direction of motion. when it is traced from start to finish, opposing swirls are cre- ated that cancel each other out. it can be begun or finished clockwise or counter- clockwise, but its action is weak. its use is not recommended for invoking or banishing. if a unicursal figure is needed, the heptagram should be employed. i n magic that is in harmony with the light, the heptagram, or seven-pointed star, is always drawn with three points up and four down. it signifies the divine trinity exalted over the material quaternary. whereas in the hexagram this rule is implied, in the heptagram it is expressed. in the hexagram a tension is created between the artificially separated point of the human spirit and the point of the spirit of god-in the heptagram the tension is resolved, for the s

e heralded by a sense of vertigo and the impression that the stars revolve around the chakra that has been entered. t he common octagram is formed of two overlapping squares with a com- mon center point, one square rotated forty-five degrees on the other. it is drawn with two separate lines, a distinction it shares with the common hexagram, and indeed the octagram has some similarities to the six-pointed star. the hexagram illustrates a duality of trines, the heavenly trinity balanced by its reflection. the octagram shows duality of fours, materiality reflecting materiality. the octagram is a symbol of the dense and solid. there is a unicursal form of the octagram, shown above on the right. the two forms have the same base. a square is brought into being by opening the intersec- tion point

es the transcendence of spirit over nature. it signifies versatility and adventure as well as mediation and intuition. 6. six is represented on the tree by beauty and harmony, called tiphareth. it is the number of perfect equilibrium and divine order through harmony. to it is attributed the sun, which keeps the rest of the planetary spheres in balance. it's symbolic form is represented by the six-pointed star or seal of solomon. the latter symbol is frequently described by the hermetic maxim "as above, so below" or the analogical union of the macrocosm and microcosm. its energy is loving, tolerant, compassionate, and harmonizing. 7. seven is composed of the ternary and the quaternary and is considered sacred in many mystical traditions. it has endless correspondences: the seven planets, th

acraments, the seven metals, the seven days of the week, etc. it is attributed to the sphere on the tree known as netzach or victory. it's mundane chakra is venus. it is considered reserved, dignified, and affectionate. it is also related to ideas of mastery, conquest, and fulfillment of desire. the magical symbol of the heptagram will be examined later. 8. eight represents realization. the eight-pointed star or eight-spoked wheel is a symbol of christ, as well as mercury. on the tree, it is attributed to hod, or the sphere of splendor. its mercurial connections imply knowledge and truth-seeking, especially in magical work. it symbolizes concrete form wherein the force of netzach finds expression. as a duplication of four, it also represents alteration and vibration. levi relates it to the

space on the tree for the hidden sphere of daath was integrated into qabalah at a very early stage and incorporates much of what we now recognize as plutonian energy. the more ancient understanding of the twelve signs and their planetary rulers is demonstrated in figure 3-d, which shows how the whole scheme was viewed within the concept of the cycle of the seasons. figure 3-d figure 3-e the seven-pointed star known as the heptagram or septagram is the classic representation of the seven planets of the ancients (see figure 3-e. it represents binah (saturn) and her six children on the tree: starting at the bottom right is saturn (three, then jupiter (four, mars (five, sun (six, venus (seven, mercury (eight, and the moon (nine. this is quite an astonishing little glyph, for it has another har
