- Columns from Liber 777:
Within the western magical tradition, the Tree of Life is used as a kind of conceptual filing cabinet within the larger system of the Qabalah, the use of which was central to the mystical teachings of Aleister Crowley. Each sephera ("Emination") and path is assigned various ideas, such as astrological planets and signs, cards of the Tarot, and the classical elements. Many of these correspondances were gathered together in Crowley's book Liber 777, which is used for these listings.
| Table of contents |
The Sword and the Serpent
The 10 Sephiroth
The Flaming Sword follows the downward course of the Sephiroth, and is compared to the Lightning Flash. Its hilt is in Kether and its point in Malkuth.
The 22 Paths
The Serpent of Wisdom follows the course of the paths or letters upwards, its head being thus in Aleph, its tails in Tau. Aleph, Mem, and Shin, are the Mother letters, referring to the Elements; Beth, Gimel, Daleth, Kaph, Pe, Resh, and Tau, the Double letters, to the Planets; the rest, Single letters, to the Zodiac.
