Tarot – Byth – Magician – House of God
This is Byth the house,
Byth is 2 yet 7, for its sound, audit is; b 2, y 10, th 400 = 412 = 7.
2 and 7. The first chapter of genesis 7 days and nights (day/night 2). The first letter of the first word of Genesis is Byth.
The rose and lily are wild, not tamed but the work of the elements will tame them. The rose is the word and the lily the energy. “Be mindful of what you say and how you say it”.
Of the 7 centers 5 are the senses, the elements. The throat is the first center of the 3-fold spirit and the sense of hearing. “Listen to your voice and you will master the elements, you will hear the tone of the spirit behind your words”. The rose and the lily.
7+2=9.
9 is Yesod the foundation, “build your temple upon this foundation”.
9 is the Hebrew letter Teth, the snake, the card of strength. From the 32 paths of wisdom, “Teth is the intelligence of all spiritual activities”. In the beginning God created Heaven and Earth, 2 things: heaven a triangle and earth a cross or square. 3 and 4 = ?
The house, the pyramid, the house of God. The pyramid produces life-force, life must therefore be within the house. When the soul leaves the body, the house corrupts – no life, and the elements go to their place.
7 divides the circle into 3; 2 halves (thieves) and the diameter, the circumference is 22. The 7 days of creation and the 22 chapters of the revealing, the alpha and omega – above the Magician’s head and around his waist is Oroborus.
7+22 = 29 =11 = 2. 11 is Daath knowledge, 2 Chokmah wisdom = “knowledge of the wisdom”. Not bad for the first letter of genesis.
YHSVH is 326 = 11 = 2.
S, Shin is a letter with 3 in 1 (3-fold spirit), the spirit of God. YHVH are the 4 directions/elements. When in alignment the triangle (3) sits upon the cross (4), the pyramid. A triangle upon a cross is the sulphur of alchemy, the soulfire, the energy. The energy hisses as a snake, a fire serpent – “one must be in stillness to hear its hiss, listen”.
A triangle and a cross, a flame rises from the cross of matter, it is alive, it has life — it depends on how you use this flame, life, you can create light or burn all manner of things, heaven and hell is dependent on where you are within the flame of life.
In the Magician’s hand he holds the wand of this flame, the elemental fire (wand) is upon the altar, he holds it high above his head, suggesting the light of the flame.
