Anthropomorphismtheology
Attributing human characteristics, emotions, or form to the divine; embodied divine imagery.

All passages →Apocatastasiscosmology
The doctrine of the periodic restoration or recurrence of all things to their original state after vast cycles.
The idea that 'No destruction is final' and everything is 'eternal and immortal in God' touches on the theme of universal restoration.
All passages →Correspondencecosmology
The Hermetic axiom that the structure of the cosmos is reflected at every scale — 'as above, so below; as within, so without' — making each level a legible map of the others.
The text systematically links the Tarot card to a Hebrew letter (Phe), an astronomical body (Mercury), a day (Wednesday), and specific symbolic meanings (fluids, immortality), exemplifying the Hermetic axiom of universal correspondence.
All passages →Divine Immanencetheology
The doctrine that the divine is present within all things and the universe itself, pervading creation rather than remaining solely transcendent above it. Distinct from unity_of_being (the general claim that all existence is one substance, agnostic about whether that substance indwells its parts) and from kingdom_within (the divine present specifically IN THE INDIVIDUAL human, accessible without mediation) — divine_immanence is the general pervading-presence claim applied to all of creation, not a human-specific indwelling.
The text states 'The Visible Universe contains the source of its Divinization in itself,' indicating the divine is present within creation.
All passages →Divine Lighttheology
The uncreated luminous quality of the divine, sometimes experienced directly in mystical states; illumination as revelation.
The text describes a 'very large and brilliant one' star shining in the midst of seven stars, symbolizing divine illumination or presence.
All passages →Divine Sparkscosmology
Fragments of divine light or spirit trapped inside material bodies, awaiting liberation and return to their source.
The text mentions 'The fall of the Divine and of the Human into the Material' and the soul surviving the body, implying a divine element trapped or tested in matter.
All passages →Hope
The text explicitly identifies 'HOPE' as a signification derived from the intuitive sentiment that the fall is not irreparable.
All passages →Immortality
The passage explicitly lists 'IMMORTALITY' as a primary signification and describes the soul (ibis/butterfly) surviving the body.
All passages →Letters Of Creationcosmology
The twenty-two Hebrew letters as the building blocks through which God creates and sustains all existence.
The passage focuses heavily on the 17th Hebrew letter (Phe) as a hieroglyphic meaning and building block of symbolism ('Primitive Hieroglyphic: Speech').
All passages →Logoscosmology
The divine reason, word, or ordering principle through which the universe was created; mediates between the transcendent God and the material world.
The passage explicitly defines the Hebrew letter Phe as representing 'Speech' and 'The Word in action in nature with all its consequences,' linking it to Mercury as the God of Speech.
All passages →Microcosm Macrocosmcosmology
The human being as a small-scale image of the entire cosmos; the body, soul, and intellect mirroring the structure of the heavens and the divine — distinct from correspondence in that it makes the human the privileged mirror.
The text links the human organ of speech (mouth) to the cosmic principle of Mercury and universal exchange, reflecting the connection between human and cosmic scales.
All passages →Numerical Mysticismtheology
Numbers, proportions, and mathematical relationships as the underlying structure of divine reality.
The passage relies on the number 17 (card and letter position) and the seven stars in the crown as significant symbolic structures.
All passages →Return To Sourcesoteriology
The soul's journey back to its divine origin, reversing the fall into matter through stages of purification or illumination.
The passage speaks of 'future re-instatement through trial' and the universe containing the source of its 'Divinization', suggesting a return to a divine state.
