The Equinox (Volume I, Number I)

A NOTE ON GENESIS And finally the word yoxn, Ha Aretz, the Earth, hath four Letters showing its Elemental Constitution, and its Key is 17—also Hope—Hope in the Earth as there is Hope in Heaven. And the last letter of the verse is ¥ (the letter of Hope), by Qabalah of Nine Chambers that number which con- tains in itself all the properties of Protean Matters: howsoever you may multiply it the Key of its Numbers is ever 9. Fitting Symbol of ever-changing matter which ever in its essence is One—one and alone! Thus with the first appearance of the number of Matter does the first verse of B’rasheth close: formulating in itself the Beginning and the End of the Great Creation. “The Characters of Heaven with Thy Finger hast thou traced: But none can read them save he hath been taught in Thy School.” Wherefore closing do I name the Mighty Words: G ey, wis Ue Sg PR BY = iy a ACQ ad Sephira, to preserve intact the Ten-ness of the Sephiroth. Showing how by that very eating of the Fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and of Evil should come the Saving of Mankind; for Daath is the Priceless Gift of Knowledge and Intellect whereby cometh Salvation. Wherefore also is 11 the Key Number of the Great Saviour’s Name (m wis = 29 = 11), and this is also in the Taro the Wheel of the Great Law, 5, the Lord of the Forces of Life. 185,
