The Serpent of Brass

4=7/29

This is an image of the Serpent Ne-hush-tan which Moses made to heal all who looked upon it whenYHVH/Yahweh set the Seraphim upon the Children of Israel and they were bitten by the Serpents of Fire in thewilderness for complaining. The name is said to mean Of Brass and the origional image was shattered by Hezekiah for it was worshiped bythe People of Israel until that day. Yet this serpent is the ancient consort of the Goddess with whom She created the Worlds. The ancient GreekPelasgian creation myth tells of the goddess Eurynome who divided the waters from the heavens. As she danced upon

the waves, she created the great serpent Ophion who coiled about her and coupled with her. Eurynome became a doveand laid the universal egg. The serpent coiled around the egg until it hatched. Out of the egg emerged all of creation.[source: http://www.susanlevitt.com/ar-serpwis.html] This serpent is also Shiva to Shakti, and the Vedic serpent-king Na-hu-sha, that once ruled all the gods, and theKundalini Serpent awaiting to rise. And so is also found in innumerable other cultures, such as the Aztec Quetz-al-co-at-l, the Mayan Cul-cul-can, the African Dam-bal-la We-do. and the rainbow serpent Ngaq-li-jod of aboriginal

Australia, This serpent is none other than Hadit, consort of Nuit, and and crowns the brows of initiates. For us it is the Serpent of the Paths of the Tree of Life: Nahushtan twines about Asherah who is the Tree, as forceand form do twine and bring forth manifestation. As such he is the Celestial Serpent of Wisdom. Nehushtan here twines about a thrice crossed shaft which you recognise as the Wand of the Hierophant and tells ofits meaning and powers: For the Wand of the Hierophant is the Whole of the Tree, the entire Cosmos, which, wielded

by a True Adept, confirs the Blessing of the Whole which is the essence of the Neophyte initiation. The SerpentNehushtan is the Power that twines about the Wand as it does the Tree and leaps forth at the Hierophants comand to

bestow that Blessing.

The Three Pillars

This Tablet represents the formation of the Hexagram of Tiphareth from the Pillars on each side. In Chesed is the Waterand in Geburah is the Fire, and in Tiphareth is the uniting and reconciliation of both Triangles in the Hexagram, as

Aleph forms the reconciliation between Mem and Shin so thus stands the reconciling Pillar between the Pillars of Fireand of Cloud; the Yakin and Boat of Solomons Temple.

The Holy Name in the Four Worlds

Before you is shown the manner of writing the Holy Name in each of the four Worlds at length, by giving the spellingof each letter. You will note that the spelling of the letter Yod alone alters not. It is a symbol of the unchangeablenessof the First Cause. The total of the spelling in each World, is then expressed in Hebrew letters and makes the Secretname of that World. Thus, in Atziluth the total is 72, and the Secret name AUB, in Binah 63 SEG, in Yetzirah 45MAH and in Assiah 52 BEN.

These are the Seven Yetziratic Palaces, containing the 10 Sephiroth. In each Palace are the six letters from the DivineName of 42 letters. Thus, the Name of 42 letters has been taken from the 42 first letters of the History of Creation, asfar as Beth of the word Bohu by various transmutations which are described at length in the Sepher Pardes.
