    The following picture is from www.aiwaz.net/tree-of-life-egyptian-attribution/a41:

    Does anyone have any ideas of the validity of these attributes? It was supposedly found embedded on a rod by someone in the 1800s.

    I post this in Magick because I am studying this for use in ritual. I am interested in devising some Thelemic-appropriate rituals.

    One attribute I recognize is that Horus has manifested in Malkuth, being the work of the Beast and his Bride.

    I suppose the question is whether this is valid (meaningful) for you.

    The arrangement doesn't look bad to me for the most part, but I'd be inclined to put Nut in Chesed, Horus in Geburah, and Geb in Malkuth.

    Just my 2 cents.

    sephira is singular, sephiroth plural. That's not just pedantry -- language is one of your most potent magical weapons, and you should keep it in good order.]

    I'd have to see their logic to judge whether I liked where it's going. I have trouble with the Geb-Nuit axis at Chesed-Geburah, and these certainly diverge dramatically from lists in 777 and elsewhere. However, it's possible that they have a particular point of view from which these attributions form a self-contained system for a particular purpose.

    The main reason I posted this was because of the Chesed - Geburah axis that Jim mentioned. Plus, it's just interesting. We have the Tao mapped onto the Tree of Life. It would be great to have the Egyptian pantheon mapped onto the same.

    In my view, we would have multiple-axises of gods, probably more than one for most of the Sephiroth. However, you could take the most influential and important gods and map the main point and detail.

    Still and interesting concept that I'd like to delve into further.

    All this said, I must disagree with their attribution of Set with Hod. On the web page, an attempt is made to equate Set with Mercury. This could not be further from rational thought.

    Didn't we just discuss the evolution of matter, including the three elements of Salt, Mercury, and Sulfur? This does not map out at all.
