that awful past�察�marking the march of time�察�recording the revolutions of 

the Sun in his orbit of 25��920 years�察�and relating with wonderful accuracy 

the    climatic   changes�察    �in  their   latitudes�察  �which    took   place    with   each 

revolution of the Sun and corresponding motion of the Earth's pole of less 

than four degrees。 All the greater myths of the dim past were formulated to 

express cosmic time�察�solar and polar motion�察�and the phenomena resulting 

therefrom。 These monuments of antiquity prove that�察�the ancients knew a 

great deal   more of   the movements of heavenly  bodies and   of our   planet 

than modern astronomers credit them with。 

     Madame Blavatsky�察�in her ;Secret Doctrine�察─�seriously states that   all 

these    monstrous      forms    are  the   types   of   actual�察  �once   living    physical

embodiments�察  �and�察  �with   apparent   sincerity�察  �asserts   that   the Adepts   teach 

such insane superstitions。 

     Such�察�however�察�is not the case�察�neither is there anything true�察�or even 

approaching the truth�察�in the cosmogony given in the work in question。 

     And�察  �lastly�察  �we   have   but   one   more   aspect   of   the   grand   old   Astro´ 

Mythos   to   present   to   your   notice。   This   aspect   reveals   the   whole   of   the 

ancient classification of WORK and LABOR�察�and gives us a clear insight 

into the original designs�察�or pictorial representations�察�of the twelve signs 

and   the   twelve   months   of   the   year。   It   also   clearly   explains   many   things 

which are to´day attributed to superstitious paganism。 

     As each month possesses its own peculiar season�察�so are�察�or were�察�the 

various labors of the husbandman�察�and those of pastoral pursuits�察�altered 

and diverted。 Each month�察�then�察�bad a symbol which denoted the physical 

characteristics of climate and the temporal characteristics of work。 As the 

Sun   entered   the   sign�察  �so   the   temple   rites   varied   in   honor   of   the   labors 

performed�察�and the symbol thus became the object of outward veneration 

and   worship。   So   we   see   that   the   twelve   signs�察  �and   principally   the   four 

cardinal   ones�察  �became   Deities�察  �and   the   symbols   sacred�察  �but   in   reality�察  �it 

was the same Sun to which homage was paid。 

     There is a large sphere of study in this direction�察�as�察�of course�察�each 

climate   varied   the   symbol   to   suit   its   requirements。   In   Egypt   there   were 

three months when the land was overflowed with water�察�hence�察�they had 

only nine working months out of doors�察�and from this fact sprang the Nine 

Muses�察�while the Three Sirens represented the three months of inactivity 

in work�察�or three months of pleasure and festivity。 

     Mackey tells us that the great leviathan mentioned in the Book of job 

was the river Nile。 

     In   nearly  all   mythologies�察  �we   find   that   the   gods   assembled   on   some 

high   mountain   to   take   counsel。   The   Olympus   of   the   Greeks   and   Mount 

Zion of the Hebrew Bible mean the same�察�the Pole´Star�察�and there�察�on the 

pictured planisphere�察�sits Cephus�察�the mighty Jove�察�with one foot on the 

Pole´Star      and   all  the  gods    gathered     below    him。    The    Pole´Star    is  the 

symbol of the highest heaven。

                             CHAPTER VI。 



                                      SYMBOLISM 



     At this point of our study it is necessary to make a halt�察�and�察�before 

proceeding further�察�to attempt to formulate and realize that�察�which�察�so far�察�

we have been pursuing。 

     First�察  �then�察 �we    have   passed    in  review    the  Zodiac�察   �and   then   the 

constellations。 From this we mentally surveyed both Astro´Theology and 

Astro´Mythology�察�and now�察�it is our first duty to realize these in their real 

significance�察�and this consists in a clear comprehension of the Grand Law 

of Correspondences。 

     What is this law�拭�It is the law of symbolism�察�and symbolism�察�rightly 

understood�察  �is   the   one   Divine   language   of   Mother   Nature�察  �a   language 

wherein all can read�察�a language that defies the united efforts of both time 

and space to obliterate it�察�for symbolism will be the language of Nature as 

long as spirit expresses itself to the Divine soul of man。 

     No matter where we turn nor where we look�察�there is spread out to our 

view a vast panorama of symbolic forms for us to read。 In whatever form�察�

angle�察  �or   color   they   present   themselves�察  �the   true   student   of   Nature   can 

interpret and understand their symbolic language aright。 It has been by the 

personification of Nature's symbols�察�that man has become ignorant of their 

language。   There   is   no   form�察  �sound�察  �nor   color   but   what   has   its   laws   of 

expression�察�and only a perfect knowledge of symbolism will enable man 

to know the law�察�power�察�and meaning�察�lying behind such manifestations。 

The law of expression is exact�察�and as unalterable as Deity Himself。 The 

physical senses cannot vibrate to these interior forces�察�and through them�察�

comprehend        their   law。   The    physical    senses    vibrate    to  the   spirit's 

expression�察�not to the powers�察�forces�察�and laws�察�which brought them into 

objective existence。 

     Countless     numbers     of  mystics�察   �if  such  they   deserve    to  be  called�察�

among   present´day   students�察      �speak    and   write  very   learnedly   upon    the 

;Law of Correspondence�察─  �and few�察 �if any�察  �of them  really understand   or 

know   anything   at   all   of   that   law。   The   intellect   alone   cannot   solve   the 



                                            59

problems       of   this  law。   It  cannot     grasp    the  true�察  �interior    and   spiritual 

meaning�察�except in just so far as intellect is capable of externalizing them。 

The   inmost   spiritual   truths�察  �that   cannot   be   demonstrated   to   the   outward 

senses�察  �never   have�察  �nor   never   will�察  �appeal   to   any   one   who   has   not   the 

interior ability to comprehend them。 

     There      was   a   time   when     men     ruled   by   pure    intellect�察  �without     its 

accompanying           other     half�察   �intuition�此    �they    were      looked      upon     as 

monstrosities。       This    state   of  purely    intellectual     development       has    been 

brought   about   by  the  positive�察 �masculine  principle�察 �reason�察 �absorbing its 

counterpart�察      �the   intuition�察   �the    feminine      portion�察   �and    the   result�察   �by 

correspondence�察�is as fatal as upon the interior plane�察�where the positive�察�

masculine   soul   denies   the   existence   of   his   mate�察  �thus   setting   upon   his 

throne�察�only a portion of himself as his idol�察�and then�察�reasons himself into 

the    belief   that   he   is  complete。     Love     has   been    cast   out�察 �ignored     and 

forgotten until at last she departs�察�leaving a vacancy�察�that eternity cannot 

fill。 

     This is somewhat similar to their illusive Devachan�察�an ideal�察�a mere 

mystical   sentiment   to   gush   over�察  �but   a   some
