A Few of the
Principal Correspondences of the Qabalah
Reprinted with Additions from 777
[With additional tables and figures from 777 Revised and The
Book of Thoth.
References at the bottom of the tables refer to 777 by page and
column number.]
In
order to understand thoroughly the Key Scale, the student should have
mastered "An Article on the Qabalah,"
[["Liber 58,"] The Equinox I(5), pp. 72-89 [and in 777
and Other Qabalistic Writings].] and acquainted
himself with the use of "Liber D." [The Equinox I(5), pp.
72-89 [and in 777 and Other Qabalistic Writings].]
It should be sufficient therefore in this place to
explain simply the significance of the symbols of this scale.
The numbers 000 to 10 are printed in heavy block
type. They refer to the three forms of Zero and the ten Sephiroth or
numbers of the decimal scale. The diagram [to be scanned soon] shows
the conventional geometrical arrangement of the symbols 1-10. The
numbers 11-32 correspond to the paths which join the Sephiroth. Their
arrangement is shown in the same diagram. 31 and 32 must be
supplemented by 31-bis and 32-bis, as those two paths possess
a definitely double attribution, viz.: 31-bis to Spirit
as against 31 to Fire; 32-bis to Earth as against 32 to Saturn.
The numbers 11, 23, 31, 32-bis, 31-bis
are printed close to the left edge of the column for convenience of
reference; they refer to the five elements.
12, 13, 14, 21, 27, 30, 32 are printed in the
centre of the column; they refer to the planets.
15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 24, 25, 26, 28, 29 are
printed on the right-hand edge of the column; they refer to the signs of the
Zodiac. [From 777 Revised, p. 45.]
