Thyself and mind, like twins upon a line, the Star whichis thy goal burns overhead. The Three that dwell in glory and in bliss ineffable, now in the World of Méyé have lost their names.

It is especially to be observed that the three consecutive letters, Gimel, Daleth, Hé (Atu II, III, XVII) show the Feminine Symbol (Yin) in three forms composing a Triune Goddess. This Trinity is immediately followed by the three corresponding and complementary Fathers, Vau, Tzaddi, Yod (Atu IV, V, IX). The Trumps 0 and I are hermaphrodite. T he remaining fourteen Trumps represent these Primordial Quintessences of Being in conjunction, function, or m…

What is there in common between Christ, Buddha, and Mohammed? Is there any one point upon which all three are in accord?

Buddha was born a Prince, and died a beggar. Mohammed was born a beggar, and died a Prince. Christ remained obscu…

By three and by three and by three hath He made firm the foundation against the earthquake that is three. For in the number nine is the changefulness of the numbers brought to naught. For with whatsoever number thou wilt cover it, it appeareth unchanged. These things are spoken unto him that understandeth, that is a breastplate unto the elephants, or a corselet unto the angels, or a scale upon the towers of iron;…
