Divine Formulae in Atziluth

The Divine Names of the World of Atziluth are potent magical formulae which represent the various “voices” of the All-Highest – each a complete manifestation of the Divine Force in and of itself. These thus may be regarded as powers of the Constellation of the Worshipped, and specifically of the various modalities of the Highest Divine Force – HA – as It multiplies Itself in the World of Imageless Archetypes. These Nomina vary in origin from the Greek Magical Papyri, the various Gnostic sects, to ancient Etruscan deities: all united in a brilliant fusion of Hermetic ideas in the vein of the Mystery Schools of Alexandria.
