Notes:

Form

refers to the causal/outer/exoteric 'form' (the abstraction, idea) associated with each sphere. Thus

the causal 'idea' associated with the sphere of the Moon is Night (Nox) in all its variations, mythological,

practical, and otherwise.

In respect of the Sun, the form/idea is 'foreseeing' which encompasses esoteric arts such as 'visions',

premonitions, foretelling the future, and so on.

Star

refers to the name of the relevant board of the O9A septenary Star Game.

Colour 1

refers to the 'causal/outer/exoteric colour' (exoteric appearance), and

colour 2

to the

'acausal/inner/esoteric colour' (esoteric appearance) associated with a particular sphere. When the colours

are mixed in certain proportions the resultant colour represents both causal and acausal aspects of the

sphere and which resultant colour is that of the sphere as a nexion.

Process

refers to the classic 'alchemical process' associated with each sphere and which is considered to

be archetypal/symbolic in nature and related to the dominant alchemical/archetypal process that occurs (or

which may occur) in the psyche of the individual during that stage of the Seven Fold Way.

Thus, the sphere of Venus - associated with the third stage of the Seven Fold Way - represents the

'coagulation' that occurs within the psyche of the initiate as a result of the experience of undertaking another

Insight Role (exoteric 'ecstasy'), as a result of organizing a functioning nexion (exoteric 'ecstasy'), and as a

result of undertaking the Grade Ritual of External Adept (an apprehension of esoteric 'ecstasy'), followed by

the Grade Ritual of Internal Adept (wordless esoteric 'ecstasy').

Word

refers to a useful sound which when chanted/vibrated in a particular manner can/may evoke

something of the acausal nature of the sphere, especially if undertaken during the appropriate season and

combined, in a ritual, with the sphere-appropriate perfume, the melded causal/acausal colour, and music

performed in the mode or key appropriate to the sphere (see the table below).

Season

refers to when the 'energies', emanations, 'inﬂuences', of a particular sphere are, on Earth, and in

our psyche, most pronounced or noticeable, often unconsciously (as in dreams or as in intimations of

Fate/Wyrd or as in intuitions or premonitions, for instance). Such inﬂuences are often expressed/presenced

/manifest/felt by or in terms of the form/idea/archetype of the sphere. Thus, the inﬂuence of the Moon may be

presenced via forms/ideas/archetypes associated with Night/Nox.

The sphere of Saturn - whose Word is Chaos (Χάος) - has no particular season associated with it, and thus is

said to be inﬂuential in some manner or other during all seasons, manifest as such inﬂuence may be via the

idea/form/archetype of Reason/Logos, which hints at the esoteric meaning of Kaos/Χάος, both as a place and

as an archetype; an archetypal meaning manifest in the third tract of the ancient Corpus Hermeticum:

In the Abyss, an unmeasurable darkness, and, by the inﬂuence of the numen,

Water and delicate apprehending Pnuema, there, in Kaos.

Then, a numinous phaos arose and, from beneath the sandy ground,

Parsements coagulated from ﬂuidic essence.

And all of the deities particularize seedful physis.

Table II

Notes:

1) Each sphere has - as a nexion, in our psyche, of the causal and the acausal - a tripartite nature, symbolized

in Occult terms by (a) the three fundamental alchemical types: alchemical salt, alchemical mercury,

alchemical sulphur, and (b) the nine combinations of those three which form the pieces of the O9A Star Game,

and (c) which nine combinations are the 'nine angles'/dimensions which symbolize, or can map (re-present) -

over the seven spheres - how we can presence acausal energies and how acausal energies are presenced in,

or are, our psyche, and thus how we can rationally apprehend all these emanations/inﬂuences via various

symbolisms and then integrate/meld them together to transcend/evolve beyond them and their inﬂuences

(unconscious, emotive, and otherwise) to thus be what we as conscious, rational, beings can be.

In non-Occult (exoteric) terms this tripartite nature is presenced in our unconscious, by our ego, and by the

self that results from what Jung described as the process of individuation. In the esoteric terms of the Seven

Fold Way the 'salt' aspect is related to the stages of Neophyte and Initiate; the 'Mercury' aspect to the stage

of External Adept, and the 'sulphur' aspect to the stage of Internal Adept. Beyond Internal Adept - beyond

individuation - there is the enantiodromia of The Abyss and thus a going-beyond the self (with its ipseity) to

the wordless unity beyond all forms, abstractions, denotatum, opposites, and symbols, including that of

'causal/acausal' and 'Left Hand Path/Right Hand Path' and of the septenary system and its correspondences,

which system and which correspondences are only a means, a way, to the discovery of that wordless unity,

anciently named Lapis Philosophicus.

2) This tripartite nature can be usefully represented by means of Tarot images of the Major Arcana, especially

those germane to the O9A as described in the

Naos

compilation. Thus, the 'salt' aspect of the sphere of

Saturn can be represented, in its Occult - 'supernatural' - essence by Atu 10, Wyrd; its 'mercury' aspect by Atu

19, The Sun; its 'sulphur' aspect by Atu 20, The Aeon.

Combining the three Tarot images associated with each sphere into one interactive image provides an

esoteric overview of that sphere, allowing thus an initiated apprehension of that sphere.

Notes:

1) The modes and the keys are relevant to the type of chant or music being performed. Thus if monophonic

chant is being performed by a cantor or cantors - as in O9A Esoteric Chant - then the plainchant modes would

be used. If music and singing is being performed in the style of ancient Greece then the Grecian modes would

be used. If music and/or singing is being performed in the style of Western classical music, then the modern

keys would be used.

2) When a classical key has possible alternatives - such as, in the case of A ﬂat, A ﬂat major/minor - then each

alternative re-presents an aspect of the relevant sphere. Thus, an initiated apprehension of a sphere would

encompass each alternative.

°°°°°

Notes:

1) Aries, Libra, Cancer and Capricorn are allotted more space in comparison with the other zodiacal

(astrological) constellations because they are periods of stronger 'cosmic emanations' than other times,

marked as such periods are by Equinox and Solstice, and associated as they are with certain planets.

Thus the period of heightened inﬂuence associated with Venus begins on or around the Spring Equinox and

lasts for a lunar month; that associated with the Sun beginning on or around the Autumnal Equinox; and so

on.

2) In contrast to the season or event associated with each sphere - qv. Table I, above - which inﬂuences are

often or mostly presenced or felt unconsciously or in an archetypal way, these periods of heightened inﬂuence

are associated with practical (personal) sorcery; that is, with a conscious purpose presenced by means of an

Occult rite or rites. Thus, a sorcerer/sorceress might choose to undertake a rite appropriate to the sphere of

Venus (such as enchantment, love, ecstasy) at the time of the Spring Equinox or in the weeks following, and

which acts of sorcery are usually more eﬀective than those conducted at or during the time/period/season

given in Table I.

3) The sagacious will notice that only the four 'lower spheres' are associated with propitious periods for

undertaking personal sorcery. This is because the later spheres are associated with Aeonic, not personal,

sorcery; with the 'forms' associated with the later spheres - Blood, Azoth, and Reason/Logos, respectively -

providing an indication of what types of Aeonic sorcery are or may be associated with these later spheres.
