CHAOS is described as the "All-Father", "One Father of Life","the Dyad", and the "Father of thought". The Mystery of Chaos also includes "at once the Formula of the Feminine Trinity." On the Tree of Life, Chaos is identified with the Sephira Chokmah or Wisdom (whose traditional title is Ab or Father), and is in turn associated to the 'part of the soul' called Chiah (the "Life-force"), and Yod (seed) of Tetragrammaton; all of which partake of the element of fire.

Additionally, within the Thelemic Canon, Chaos is oftentimes paired or passionately united with either Babalon (Binah, Neschamah,Aima, Isis, and He of Tetragrammaton,"Pater et Mater") through the path of Love (Daleth; see the magick circle), or with the "purified" Virgin Daughter of Babalon (Earth, Malkuth, Nephesch, Persephone, He final of Tetragrammaton, "Filiae et Pater"; see The Vision and the Voice,4th AEthyr)- who awakens "the eld of the all-Father". This uniting of the "Great Father" with the Mother and Daughter completes the Christian conception described in An Essay Upon Number. part II. In Chpt. 11 of The Book of Lies and the Vision and the Voice the unity of Chaos and Babalon as the Supernal Triad is "insisted upon." As a Tetragrammaton or four-fold word, Chaos "is equal to her seven-fold word" by gematria ((Kaph + Ayin + Vau + Samech = 156) which suggests the 4=7 and 7=4 Grades of the A.'.A.'. Furthermore, the Mystery of Chaos is "beyond the comprehension of any but Masters of the Temple" (the particular Grade associated to Babalon).

Chaos is also "thought of""by men" as the Beast.

As both the "Word" or "Logos" of the Gnostics, and Wisdom, Chaos pertains specifically to the 9=2 Grade of Magus (the 11th progressive Grade in the A.'.A.'. - which it conceals).

In a note to The Abul-diz Working, Chaos is identified with Aleph (large=1000) Tau (Ath or Essence; "the") in Hebrew with a numeration of 1400 ("Tria Capita" or "the Three Heads" - TLT RYShYN); with a regular aleph, 401 (ARR - "cursing"). In An Essay Upon Number, A.C. draws a connection between ATh and the Word Azoth - "the sum and essence of all, conceived as One". Furthermore, Chaos is identified as "the Unknown God of Chokmah in Liber 418." In Greek (applying isopsephy) Chaos adds to 871, which is identical with the words "Pain, Sorrow," "Secret, dark", Web; cloak", "To purify", and "Against one's will."

From the Escalier des sages (1689 e.v.) Chaos as an alchemical formula is given the Notariqon of: Caliditas Humiditas Alger Occulta Siuitas

From The Vision and the Voice, 4th AEthyr:

"This is the menaing of that passage; they are attempts to interpret Chaos, but Chaos is Peace...Blackness, blackness intolerable, before the beginning of the light. This is the first verse of Genesis. Holy art thou, Chaos, Chaos, Eternity, all contradictions in terms!...But when the balances are equal, scale matched with scale, then will Chaos return."

-Chaos is described as the "All-Father", "One Father of Life" and "the Dyad", the "Father of thought". On the Tree of Life, Chaos is associated with the Sephira Chokmah or Wisdom (whose traditional title is Ab or Father), and in turn to the part of the soul called Chiah (the "Life-force"), and Yod (seed) of Tetragrammaton. These attributions partake uniformly in the element of fire. Additionally, Chaos is sometimes paired with either Babalon (Binah, Neschamah,Aima, Isis, and He of Tetragrammaton,"Pater et Mater") through the path of Love (Daleth; see the magick circle), or with the Virgin Daughter of Babalon (Earth, Malkuth, Nephesch, Persephone, He final of Tetragrammaton, "Filiae et Pater"; see ''The Vision and the Voice'',4th AEthyr)- "awakening the eld of the all-Father". This uniting of the "Great Father" with the Mother and Daughter completes the Christian conception described in ''An Essay Upon Number.'' part II. In Chpt. 11 of ''The Book of Lies'' and ''the Vision and the Voice'' the unity of Chaos and Babalon as the Supernal Triad is "insisted upon."  This unity may be suggested by the identical gematria of both (156).
