Since there is no standard transliteration of Hebrew into English, the 22nd letter of the Hebrew alphabet is sometimes written Tau, sometimes Tav. I've even seen Tof.
You and me both. I've got 4 planets in Capricorn - ruled by Saturn. And if that wasn't bad enough I have Saturn and Mars in 180* direct opposition. Be afraid. Be very afraid.Always Wondering said:I start with a new attempt this year to make friends with Saturn. I might as well, I am stuck with him.
Are you following the Holy Book reading list? You may have noticed one line from Liber VII, chp.2.Always Wondering said:Discipline seems like an excellent attribute as I begin this commitment.
Pertinax was a short lived Roman Emperor famed for being a disciplinarian. It didn't do him many favours though. His own body guards got sick of it and killed him after 3 months. But the message is a good one. We're all "pernicious drunk" in one form or another. Yet Pertinax/Discipline will bring us to the bridal, if only we stick to it.15. I was pernicious drunk, O my God! Yet Pertinax brought me to the bridal.
When I was taking Hebrew, we pronounced it Tav. I think Tau is nice because the equivalent Greek letter T is also named Tau. I vote for Tau.Always Wondering said:These are the kind of things that thow me off, but on the other hand keep me double checking.....
Last year the site had the Emperor and the Star in the wrong order. That's what seemed to throw Grigori and the rest off. It's been corrected since then. Now all the days, and their corresponding Tarot cards, follow the Hebrew alphabet sequence.Always Wondering said:Wait to you see how I fall apart on the days with Crowley's tarot switches.

Yesterday I kept it simple, but today I will add the readings. I didn't know this about Pertinax, some of this stuff goes right over my head. But I can kind of relate to his guards.Aeon418 said:Are you following the Holy Book reading list? You may have noticed one line from Liber VII, chp.2.

Aeon418 said:One thing you might have missed is that Tav does double duty for Saturn and Earth. It's really heavy.
I am afraid it is a bit typical of me to want everyone else to choose one way and then dither myself. I find Tau's relation to the Greek letter T helpful though.LRichard said:Since there is no standard transliteration of Hebrew into English, the 22nd letter of the Hebrew alphabet is sometimes written Tau, sometimes Tav.

The Angel is represented as the Priestess of Atu II, casting aside her lyre. Like a flame of Spirit she plunges head first down the path of Gimel into matter. Just like the letter Shin descends into the four elements, transforming IHVH into IHShVH.2. Even as on the resounding wind-swept heights of Mitylene some god-like woman casts aside the lyre, and with her locks aflame as an aureole, plunges into the wet heart of the creation, so I, O Lord my God!
