to interfere with one's will to live (and almost everything that is true of cholera is true of christians) al ii,60 "therefore strike hard& low, and to hell with them, master" the old comment 60. hit out indiscriminately therefore. the fittest will survive. this doctrine is therefore contrary to that of galileo sic ?galilean, or that of buddha. the new comment the christians to the lions! an xvii sol in libra, i am reminded of samuel butler's observation that the apotheosis of love is to devour the beloved. indeed, one cannot say that one has perfectly attained to love or hate until the object of that passion is assimilated. the word "hell" is significant in this connection. one must never be so careless as to let oneself think that even "the style of a letter (how much less a phrase) in t

wo verses, despite elaborate research, yielded no meaning soever. at last i chanced on upsilon-pi-omicron-mu-omicron-nu-eta as 718; it means "persistence, the greek noun corresponding to "perdurabo, my first magical motto. of course the stele had persisted since the 26th dynasty, but that scarecely justified naming it "persistence; also, there was nothing about "the fall of because. now (an xvii, sol in gemini, moon in cancer) i was going through the law in order to repair any details of omission in the rituals ordained, and found these verses introduced among the instructions. they fascinated me; when i had finished the work in hand, i returned to them and worked for some hours with a lexicon, starting from the word apxh, cause, 709, to find some phrase equal to 718 which would deny cause

ita as a whole which have all been concerned with various techniques for drawing down, or drinking in, the influences of the sun, of venus, and of jupiter, as health-giving, rejuvenating, anti- saturnian powers. the object described, or hinted at (for the description is very vague) would seem to be a model of the heavens constructed so as to concentrate on drawing down the fortunate influences of sol, venus, jupiter. certainly the colours of these planets are to predominate in it, and it may probably be presumed that their images are depicted in it. the inclusion of ceres in green as the earth is understandable, but vesta is strange. such an object, ficino seems to say, may be worn, or placed opposite to be looked at,2 suggesting that it is perhaps a medal, perhaps an elaborate jewel' fici

t there is a relationship between the ten spheres of the cosmos the seven spheres of the planets, the eighth sphere or the firmament of fixed stars, the empyrean, and the primum mobile and the ten sephiroth or numerations of cabala. quicquid dicant caeteri cabalisticae, ego decern sphaeras, sic decern numerationibus correspondere dico, ut ab edificio incipiendo, jupiter sit quartae, mars quintae, sol sextae, saturnus septimae, venus octauae, alercurius nonac, luna decimae, turn supra aedificium firmamentum tertie, primum mobilae secundae, coelum empyreum primae.2 though the way in which he is counting here is confusing,3 pico is thinking of correspondencies between the ten spheres and the ten sephiroth such as are sometimes set out as follows: sephiroth spheres (i) kether primum mobile (2)

cing an almost astrological suggestion into the relationships between the hierarchies, which are said to "drink" the influences from the trinity, a word wrhich recalls the expression used in the de vita coelitus comparanda where the spiritus of the world is thought of as poured out through the stars and drunk by its recipients here below. and if we add one more term to the light series, the term "sol" for the planet sol or the sun, the drinking in of spiritus from the sun would connect with the higher series, the higher "liquor" drunk by the hierarchies, and the higher forms of light flashed down from the light supernal.3 thus ficino's natural or spiritus magic, aiming no higher than the planets and particularly at the sun, would yet have an angelic continuation stretching out beyond and a

tinuation stretching out beyond and above it. though ficino, or so i believe, would make no attempt to "operate" with angels, beyond the normal christian prayers and supplications, nor try to reach the virtues which move the heavens in order to become a worker of miracles' ficino, pp. 965-75- 2 ibid, pp. 976-86. 3 this transition is definitely made in the de sole, which first discusses the planet sol and its central importance and, in the last chapter, compares the sun to the trinity and the nine orders of angels de sole, cap. xii; ficino, p. 973. 120 pseudo-dionysius and theology of a christian magus the angelic continuation beyond the stars was of course normal to christian thought, and is, for example, exquisitely expressed in terms of music by shakespeare's lorenzo: sit, jessica. look
