Kameoth of the Planets Ancient and Modern

Each Kamea, or magic square, has four significant numbers listed beneath it. Firstly, the dimension of the square,
which indicates the raw essence of that planetary energy; secondly, the sum of highest and lowest values, which
reveals the guiding principles. Often these principles are expressed in terms of seemingly opposed ideas, so with the
example of Saturn we find images of both treading under foot and blossoming; these are resolved in the image of a
patient gardener who presses down the earth around his planting, who weeds the bad from the good, who prunes the
tree to see it bear more heavily. In most squares this value is also the sum of any two numbers the same distance from
the centre of the square, in opposite directions.
The third value is the column sum, which is also the row sum, and the sum of either diagonal. The fourth value is the
sum total of all numbers in the square.
Certain Intelligences, Spirits and other entities are associated with these squares, and in most cases their names sum
to one of these values; in one instance (that of Hagiel, Intelligence of Venus) the name's value is not 50 but 49, which
of course is the number of cells in the square.

Saturn, ruler of limitations, has as his colours the limits of light: the black of midnight and the white of the noonday
sun; the dark earth and the life that it brings forth. father, teacher, benefactor or sustainer has the value 3; it also

means verdure.

Jupiter is the wellspring of abundance. To the measure of 17 we have to shine and its partner to dream; to
burst forth and its partner to mark out a circle, vault or arch (as with a compass); well-being, prosperity,
fertility, luck; rejoice; and to lay (a foundation). 34: to well forth and to reveal; to dash to pieces as

26: to cut; to be heavy, severe, violent, glorious, honourable, difficult.

26 is the Tetragrammaton; also the sum of the Sephiroth (not including Da"ath) on the middle pillar.
The numbers 26, 65 and 325 suggest a close relationship with Pluto, through their common factor 13.
65 (a number shared with Mercury): Adonai Lord; hush; palace, temple, heaven; to be violent,
oppressive; lamentation; to be bright, shining, brash, a paean; a striking, a blow, a wound; to quake
(of the earth); silence, ease, rest, devotion.

37 Yechida : the highest life; splendid; to burn, to roar, heart; to burn, a flame, a blade; to
breathe; greatness; to cover; to flutter or float (as a banner); to leap or spring. 111 to set (as of the
sun); 666 Hidden; Height, Heights; Slumber.
37 is one third of 111; it is also the sum of the Sephiroth (including Da"ath) on the middle pillar. 111 is the value of Ain
Suph Aur. Intriguingly, 6, 66 and 666 and are all so-called 'triangular numbers': sums of all the integers from 1 to 3, 1
to 11 and 1 to 36 respectively; 36 itself is a triangle number, the sum of the numbers from 1 to 8.
111 The Intelligence of the Sun Nakiel Smiting power of God
666 The Spirit of the Sun Sorath
666 Hatkariel

Note: I have found no connection between the number 666 and the sinister attributions often imagined for
the number of the beast in the Book of Revelation. Early manuscripts of that book indicate the Beast's number was
616, not 666, which would be more appropriate: 616 is He will ruin them, the fated day, day of
calamityand Oppressed. 666, on the other hand, has no such connotations.

Venus is the spouse of Mars; in her his colours are reversed, lightened and softened to emerald green and pink.

sighing, the purring of a lion over his prey and the muttering of enchanters.
175 The Spirit of Venus Qedemel Before [in front of] God
1225 The Intelligences of Venus Tzabaoth Hamula Elohim Tumultuous Hosts of the
Gods (tumult with the sense of heavy falling rain). This corrects the usual mis-naming of the Intelligences as Beni
Seraphim Sons of the Burning Ones, a phrase which adds up to 1252, not 1225, and connotes fiery, not watery forces!

the voice of a conjured spirit emanates as though from the very earth itself. Its reverse, , means to enter. We find
these ideas repeated and more directly tied to the moon in words with the value 82: to droop, fade, flow outalso

This square of 10 by 10 is clearly the square of Earth, the tenth Qabalistic sphere. That the Hebrew kingdom has
a value of 101 underlines this fact.
101: to put by, storehouses, granaries; Zebulon Habitation, Yah Establishes; to come forth, be
begotten, to rise (as the sun), to come to an end; Mikael Who Like God? and his brother Malaki My
Messenger.
505: Sarah noblewoman; assembly.

Beyond this point the kameoth are trans-personal, dealing with energies outside the normal business of an individual.
Indeed, beyond this point the individual cannot go, and still remain him- or herself. Remember: humanity, like all
other living things, owes its allegiance to the forces of ongoing creation, not to the blind forces of dissolution and
decay.

11 is popularly attributed to Da"ath, the great abyss beyond which individual existence ends, but it is more especially
the number of the Qlippoth, the broken shells of creation where the raw waste of reality is destroyed and recycled. The
cosmic compost heap is not normally a place for humanity to step into, yet it serves its purpose. Numerically, 11 is the

pit, slaughter, excrement, the howl of horror and the buzzing fly, but it is also birth, the gleam of gold and that which
is good. The shells of the Qlippoth find their echo in , to be shedding peelings (like an onion), with the value 122.

This Kamea, it turns out, is more closely associated with Da"ath, as the 'great silence'. 12 is the measure of , the
Abyss, and of to be silent, still, empty. The gematria of 145 casts further light on this. If we ignore the
final nun, chariot also measures 145. The chariot appears in both Hebrew mysticism and in the Tarot as a vehicle
beyond the bounds of self.

13 | 170 | 1105 | 14365

13: Water; to pound (a crude euphemism for copulate or masturbate); love excessively; to enter,
penetrate, copulate; murmur, sigh, meditation, separation. 170: Na"amah Pleasant (a succubus in the Zohar,
and mother of divination); to snap or wring (a neck); to twist or turn, to pervert (ignoring the final). These
words confirm the sudden, violent nature of Pluto's energy, and the sex/death associations of the number 13.
Pluto has numeric links to several other planets. 170=534 (Mars, Jupiter); 1105=6517 (Mars, Mercury, Jupiter);
and again, 14365=651713. That the plutonian 13 is a factor of the martian numbers 26, 65 and 325 confirms the
close relationship between these two planets. Pluto also has a close relationship with the first planet of the series,
Saturn: the numeric keys 13 170 1105 14365 are those of the Saturn kamea with extra digits
interspersed: 1, 7, 10 and 136 (numbers relating to Venus, Saturn and Jupiter respectively).
