Thanks, that is really useful
Another thing that may be useful in the study of Liber 418 is an 'interpretive model'. The most useful model I have come across is one that attributes the 30 Aethyrs to the 10 Sephiroth, Malkuth to Kether, in the worlds of Yetzirah, Briah, and Atziluth. Some poeple object to this model by pointing to a passage in the 12th Aethyr, LOE.
LOE said:
But I reveal unto thee a mystery of the Aethyrs, that not only are they bound up with the Sephiroth, but also with the Paths. Now, the plane of the Aethyrs interpenetrateth and surroundeth the universe wherein the Sephiroth are established, and therefore is the order of the Aethyrs not the order of the Tree of Life. And only in a few places do they coincide. But the knowledge of the Aethyrs is deeper than the knowledge of the Sephiroth, for that in the Aethyrs is the knowledge of the Aeons, and of Θέλημα. And to each shall it be given according to his capacity.
But in contrast to this statement the angel of the 9th Aethyr, ZIP, revealed a map of the Aethyr's to Crowley that does correspond with the Sephiroth.
ZIP said:
And the Angel cometh forth, and behind him whirls a black swastika, made of fine filaments of light that has been "interfered" with, and he taketh me aside into a little chamber in one of the nine towers. This chamber is furnished with maps of many mystical cities. There is a table, and a strange lamp, that gives light by jetting four columns of vortex rings of luminous smoke. And he points to the map of the Aethyrs, that are arranged as a flaming Sword, so that the thirty Aethyrs go into the ten Sephiroth
I take a practical view on this issue. The 1-to-1 mapping of Aethyrs to Sephiroth isn't always a perfect match and only provides one layer of symbolism. But it is a very good starting point to begin the exploration of Crowley's visions of the Aethyrs.
