Can someone please talk about the "Locks" of the Superior and Inferior Beard?
Where does this concept come from?
Where can I read more about this and study it? -

But perhaps these are the trees of eternity

What about The Evocation of the Mighty Ones (Kaph) and The Utterance of the Pythoness(Zayin)?
AFAIK he last one was never written, is it replaced by another instruction?
I ask because i've been studying and theorizing for a while but havent been able to find something that fits these two.

These weren't the names for actual documents.
The Kaph practice isn't covered by a formal A.'.A.'. instruction, but by the Raja Yoga already acquired en route to Adeptus Major.
The Zayin practice doesn't appear in a formal instruction under that exact title; but the formal A.'.A.'. practice that addresses the essential task of Zayin is Liber Os Abysmi (Liber Da'ath).

something that puzzles me a bit is that according to this "road" the magician gets to practice Liber VIII up until Binah. I thought that this was a practice made for D.L/Adeptus Minor.
-
also, the closest practice adviced here to achieve k&CHGA seems to be The Death Meditation and/or The Sleep of Siloam
my curiosity makes me ask again? why is Liber VIII pushed up to the Vau path? Is there a difference between practicing liber samekh and liber VIII?

S.O.S. comes after 5=6, in one of the Paths en route to 6=5.
This document isn't intended by any means to be the entire curriculum. It is a tiny subset of the whole curriculum, and describes, at best, practices attributed to the Paths themselves. It doesn't describe the work undertaken in the Sephiroth.

"Concerning the "Formulation of The Body of Light" assigned to Tau, does this include Astral Projection and Rising on the Planes or is this more or less shaping and educating the Body of Light? I only ask because I see that Samekh is assign to Skrying in the Spirit Vision, but according to "One Star in Sight" one "Has to acquire perfect control of the Astral Plane" at the Neophyte stage. Or is this because a Neophyte is not tested in his or her Astral sight until a later grade?"
Tav includes what is conventionally called "astral projection" - it's the primary task that opens for the Neophyte 1=10 not only Yesod per se but, specifically, Yetzirah. One is most definitely tested on "astral sight" before being advanced to 2=9.
Rising on the Planes is the Samekh practice - hence the "Ladder of Jacob" reference.
