Notes on Secret Teachings of All Ages

Eliphas Levi states that the Druids (ancient inhabitants of the U.K.) cured b !agnetis! (ani!al
!agnetis!" od" rei#i" chi" personal !agnetis!" electric and !agnetic fluids" prana" etc.) used in
con$unction %ith herbs (esp. !istletoe).
&anl ' (all states there %ere three degrees in the Druidic !steries. )) *vates %ho dressed in green"
the color of learning" and %ere e+pected to #no% about !edicine" astrono!" poetr and !usic. ,) The
-ards %ho dressed in s# blue. The %ere to !e!ori.e the ,/"/// verses of poetr" and are often
pictured %ith harps that have as !an strings as ribs on one side of the hu!an bod.
S# blue s!boli.es the -reathing" Energ" the 0hest" and the interdependence of these aspects
of the hu!an being.
1) The Druid %ho had to help people and dressed in %hite the color of the sun.
&anl states 2Seraphi!2" a class of angels !eans to bla.e up or bla.e out. Sa!e#h is electric. So"
Seraphi! can refer to or s!boli.e the po%er of the !ind and or the radiation of chi" both of %hich are
hall!ar#s of the po%erful !agician.
Serapis" a 3ree# deit %as called Theon (eptagra!!aton" or the 3od %ith the na!e of the seven
letters. Serapis %as associated %ith the sna#e or serpent.
S!boli.es the #undalini" 4 cha#ras" etc.
&anl e+plains that !ost solar deities in the ancient !ster schools %ere s!bolis! of the spirit and
soul" and that corn and %heat are !ore or less of the sa!e s!bolis!.
5nfor!s that in certain Druid and 3recian !ster schools !usic and rhth! %ere taught and used as
tools.
6- ascending successivel through the fier sphere of (ades" the spheres of %ater" earth and air" and
the heavens of the &oon" the plane of &ercur is reached. Above &ercur are the planes 7enus" the
Sun" &ars" 8upiter" and Saturn" the latter containing the s!bols of the .odaical constellations. Above
the arch of the heavens (Saturn) is the d%elling place of the different po%ers controlling the universe.
The supre!e council of the gods is co!posed of t%elve deities 9 si+ !ale and si+ fe!ale 9 %hich

are integral to hu!anit" are to be !astered and used particular in !agic. ;or instance" (er!es

it s!boli.es the pingala" sushu!na" and ida" and the electric" neutral" and !agnetic chi states.
The Dragon s!boli.es false #no%ledge. 5n the conte+t of the astral bod it s!boli.es the
#undalini serpent" %hich %hen activated and raised is said to grant godFli#e po%er" and grant
enlighten!ent. This is s!boli.ed b the raising of the devil" and the ta!ing of the dragon" i.e.
!a#ing it rise up the spine.
(er!es s!boli.es the !ind or spirit %hich progra!s and trans!utes forces" as %ell as" the

s!boli.es the la% of analog.
The appellation of Thrice 3reatest s!boli.es the three planes and our bodies on the!" i.e.
!ind" astral bod" and phsical bod.
States (er!es %as associated %ith the planet &ercur because the planet is closest to the Sun.
The Sun has been associated %ith 3od (the pri!e source or creator)" %hich is appropriate
because the sun gives life and energ to all things in the solar sste!.
The !ind has been associated %ith &ercur as %ell. This too is appropriate because the !ind is
the closest aspect %e have to divinit or the godFhead" and the !ost po%erful tool hu!ans
possess.

(er!es is said to be the e!bodi!ent of the universal !ind" and the cos!ic principle of thought.
States that Thoth ((er!es) %rote the -oo# of Thoth" %hich contained secret processes for e!po%ering
and healing hu!anit" %hich sti!ulates certain areas of the brain" e+tending consciousness" and
granting po%er over spirits of the air and subterranean deities" and to also grant i!!ortalit.
5nfor!s Eobert ;ludd thought the sun to have three properties< life" light" and heat.
5nfor!s the allegor of Solo!on refers to the plus and !inus of nature. Solo!on is the plus of nature
and his %ives are the !inus of nature that receive his influence" and create things out of the!selves
after receiving the virilit of the sun.
5nfor!s the robes" $e%els" insignia" headgear" and artifacts to those effects of the ancient hierophants
such as in hieroglphics or buddhist statues s!boli.e the spiritual energies in and radiating fro! the
hu!an bod.
6The earl star ga.ers" after dividing the .odiac into its houses" appointed the three brightest stars in
each constellation to be the $oint rulers of that house. Then the divided the house into three sections of
ten degrees each" %hich the called decans. These" in turn" %ere divided in half" resulting in the
brea#ing up of the .odiac into seventFt%o duodecans of five degrees each. *ver each of these
duodecans the (ebre%s placed a celestial intelligence" or angel" and fro! this sste!" has resulted the
Guabbalistic arrange!ent of the seventFt%o sacred na!es" %hich correspond to the seventFt%o

Each pair of triads in con$unction %ith the center produces a septenar" and a septenar is
contained in the center.
The three septernaries furnish the absolute nu!ber of %orlds" as %ell as the co!plete nu!ber of
pri!itive letters" to %hich a co!ple!entar sign is added" li#e .ero to the nine nu!erals.
States 'thagoras discovered !usic has great therapeutic po%er" and prepared special har!onies for
various ills. (e also e+peri!ented %ith color" attaining considerable success.
'thagoras vie%ed everthing as consisting of three parts and that all proble!s could be solved b the
nu!ber three. )) The Supre!e (!ental) 9 the highest" a subtle" interFpenetrative spiritual essence
pervading all things. The ho!e of the supre!e deit itself" %ho is o!niactive" o!nipotent"
o!nipresent" and o!niscient. ,) The Superior (Astral) 9 ho!e of i!!ortals. The d%elling place of the
archetpes" or the seals (forces %hich control the !aterial plane). 1) The 5nferior (&aterial) 9 ho!e of
beings and things !ade of !atter.
To 'thagoreans ) and , %ere not considered nu!bers. 'thagorean nu!bers begin %ith 1 and @" the
triangle" and the s=uare 9 %hich %hen added to the ) and , produce )/" the great nu!ber of all things"
the archetpe of the universe. The 1 %orlds or levels %ere called receptacles. The first" the receptacle of
principles" the second the receptacle of intelligences" the third" the receptacle of =uantities.
The 3ree#s believed the !aterial universe to be !ade of earth" fire" air" %ater 9 the @ ele!ents. EarthF
particles being cubical" having greatest stabilit. ;ireFparticles tetrahedral" being the the si!plest" and
lightest. KaterFparticles icosahedral" for the reverse reason. AirFparticles" as inter!ediate bet%een the
t%o" %ere octahedral. The dodecahedron" to the! %as the !ost !sterious (A#asha).
The s!!etrical solids %ere regarded b 'thagoras and 3ree# thin#ers as !ost i!portant. To
'thagoras !a be credited %ith the discover that there are onl A such solids" %hich are
analogous to the five ele!ents.
5nfor!s A#asha is closel correlated to the hpothetical ether of !odern science" the interFpenetrative
substance per!eating all of the other @ ele!ents and acting as a co!!on solvent and co!!on
deno!inator of the!.
5nfor!s that the ), i!!ortals are s!bolic of the ), parts (cranial nerves) of the brain. (e also states
there is a connection bet%een A#asha and these ), parts. The solid (dodecahedron) is t%elve faced.
This is curious because organis!s and species develop" adapt" and evolve according to cli!ate"
environ!ent" and the processes at %or# that influence survival and biological structure.
5nfor!s the Tetracts (an up%ard facing triangle" %ith @ dots hori.ontal on the botto!" three in the
!iddle" t%o above" and one at the point) %as of pri!ar i!portance to 'thagoreans.
Thus" the *ne %hich is analogous to unit" !ind" cause such as vibration" %hich creates the t%o
or is divided thus creating t%o. T%o is analogous to polarit and gender. Three to the triad" the
poles and gender forces %ith the !ediating force bet%een the!. ;our the vehicle or vessel or
ele!ent of earth created out of the latter nu!bers" and in %hich ele!ental processes are ta#ing
place.
5nfor!s that it is li#el that ;ree!asonic allegories deal %ith lifting the #undalini up through the 11
seg!ents of the spinal colu!n (11 degrees)" into the s#ull %here it passes into the pituitar gland (5sis)"
%here it invo#es Ea" the 'ineal 3land" also represented b the Ee of (orus and the Ee in the
capstone of the pra!id.
(e (&anl ' (all) further sho%s the pineal gland %hich is shaped li#e a pine cone has been
s!boli.ed in al!ost all ancient religions in various %as" such as the bindi of the (indu2s" the
pine cone on the end of %ands" the ee in the pra!id" etc. 5t is said that the 'ineal 3landFThird
EeF0apstoneFEe of (orus and EaF cannot be trul opened and activated until the Serpent ;ire
(Kundalini) is activated and raised or caused to rise up the spine into the brain and through the
cha#ras 9 as depicted in certain hieroglphics and egptian art" the serpent ent%ined around the
staff" the allegor of raising the devil fro! (ell (&al#ut or -ase 0ha#ra)" cli!bing the ladder to
heaven" the rainbo% bridge" etc.
Spea#s of 'thagoras using !usic to cure on the three planes. Using a %ater !ode" tone or
!usical co!position" for instance" to cure of anger" %hich in so!e cases is analogous to the
ele!ent of fire. Thus" using analog in curing.
5n verbal #abbalah sounds correspond to certain ele!ents. Ehth! is a po%erful tool for
inducing trance" #eeping a train of thought" to aid in !e!ori.ation" to #eep certain !ental
processes going" causes a consistent build up of energ" and !ore.
5nfor!s that according to so!e 'thagoras divided the universe into D or ), parts" each part having a
certain tone or !usical correspondence. Especiall" based on the planets. 5t is said 'thagoreans
believed each planet in its !otion to cause certain sounds according to !agnitude" celerit" and
distance. Thus" Saturn the farthest gave the gravest or deepest tone or sound. The &oon the closest
gave the sharpest or highest tone or sound.
There are D Solfeggio ;re=uencies. ;re=uenc is analogous to A#asha" in that it tunes one into a
particular level" plane" di!ension" etc. enabling one to affect it. This is seen in the pro+i!it of
fre=uencies of different levels of consciousness or trance states such as -eta or Alpha to the
Schu!ann 0avit Eesonance ;re=uencies or Eates of the 'lanet. This is part of the reason for
the po%er of trance states.
Each solfeggio adds up to either 1" B" or D. There are 1 !ain bodies. Therefore" it is li#el that
each bod has 1 solfeggio fre=uencies. Li#el" ) of the 1" for instance" in the case of the astral
bod" is the fre=uenc of the astral bod" another to the interaction or to and fro bet%een the
astral bod and !ind fro! lo%er to higher" and the last fro! astral to phsical fro! higher to
lo%er. 0ould also be based on the nu!bers the add up to" for instance" all D2s being astral.
States in the ancient !steries sound %as i!portant. ;or instance" a %ord uttered in certain cha!bers in
the ancient te!ples %ere intensified and !ade to echo because the %ere developed to intensif
auditor %or# such as !antra %or#.
5nfor!s colored light to be different rates of vibration that causes effects in the optical nerve" i.e. the
nerves %hich enable sight. FFFF Each plane is also $ust a rate of vibration or fre=uenc" and if things are
not of a close enough rate the cannot interact.
0olor has been associated %ith !usical notes. Eed" the lo%est color tone" thus corresponds to Do.
*range to Ee. Iello% to &i. 3reen to ;a. -lue to Sol. 5ndigo to La. 7iolet to Si. The eighth tone
necessar to co!plete the scale should be a higher octave of red. FFFF *ctaves are a scale are repeated
on higher and lo%er levels. Thus it can be said that there are vibrator rates corresponding to red" for
instance" that cannot be seen" for instance" on the astral and !ental planes. There are also lo%er levels"
then" of red that too" cannot be seen" as in the pheno!enon #no%n as infrared light.
Khen colors are related to the signs of the .odiac the are arranged as the spo#es of a %heel.

Not onl does this follo% the above proposition" such as violet %ith base causing base and functions to
be !ore under the control of the !ind 9 but it also follo%s ele!ental la%s. The !ind radiates (red)
vibrations" and so it is appropriate for the cro%n to be associated %ith red" and orange %ith the 1
rd
ee.
The solar center is in a location %here no !a$or organs are" and so there is no %orr for creating an
i!balance b building energ there" i.e. over e!po%ering anthing" and so blue is appropriate as it is a
color of reception and holding energ. Thus" there is no %orr of congestion of organs there. The heart
is to appropriatel green because the green is the color of love and interdependence" i.e. the interaction
%ith and enlivening all parts and aspects. The -ase involves ascending and descending processes along
the spine" hence" violet. The third ee is associated %ith clairvoance and i!agination and so it is
appropriate that it corresponds to orange" as orange is !ore electric or analogous to the ele!ent of fire"
of %hich light is an e+pression" and sight is deter!ined b the assi!ilation of light %aves" plus" orange
is a color of creativit" and hence" appropriate for i!agination.
5nfor!s Eliphas Levi2s -apho!et s!boli.es the Astral Light" the universal life force %hich is
!anipulated in !agic.
5nfor!s 'aracelsus stated that the ele!entals (gno!es" sala!anders" n!phsFundines" slphs) live in
etherFastral states corresponding to the ele!ents" such as fire for sala!anders. ;urther!ore" that these
astral spheres or states are transparent as the at!osphere or o+gen filled space is for hu!ans and
ani!als. Thus" gno!es !ove and live in an ether ele!ental state corresponding to earth" and outside of
such a space the %ould dissolve and die.
States the ele!entals live in a vibrator rate so close to our o%n that the can affect the phsical or
!aterial ele!ents" and analogies on the other planes. Thus" for instance" sala!anders can !anifest heat
and fire" i!prove !ale se+ualit" intensif and !anifest anger" and !ore. 3no!es can control !inerals
and !aterial things" i!prove endurance" courage" etc.
;ran. -ardon states things to the sa!e effect. Thus" Sala!anders affect electric chi (fluid)" and
can cause outbrea#s of fire.
States there are also nature spirits living in a close vibrator rate. Thus there are drads or beings of the
trees" that can control and influence the health of trees" and reside in the!.
A stud of the different religions such as Shinto %ith spirits that reside in and influence ob$ects
and ob$ects of nature" !thologies" religions" etc. can grant other infor!ation on such things.
;or instance" in Shinto there is the Kappa" a tpe of %ater ele!ental.
States there are !assive a!ounts of ele!entals" and that the have their o%n societies" personalities"
fa!ilies" careers" desires" etc. $ust as people do.
5nfor!s that the astral versions of the ele!ents are different than the phsical. Thus" for instance" there
could ver %ell be an astral state corresponding to air in a roc#" in %hich" a slph !a reside. Thus" do
not confuse phsical ele!ents %ith astral ele!ents.
States so!eti!es ele!entals %or# %ith other #inds of ele!entals. ;or instance" a slph could %or#
%ith a undine to cause rain.
States there are !ale and fe!ale of each tpe of ele!ental. Thus" there are !ale and fe!ale undines.
This is sho%n that there are analogies of other ele!ents in other ele!ents. ;or instance"
reception can cause e+pansion. Thus a !ale undine.
States the ele!entals also !anifest and intensif certain traits" =ualities" strengths" aspects" et cetera.
;or instance" an undine could do so to introspection" e!otional responses" !agnetic chi" !oisture"
hdration" contraction" trance induction" etc.
This is born b the a+io! and la% 2as above" so belo%H as belo%" so above2" also #no%n as the
la% of analog. Each thing is si!pl another e+pression of the sa!e funda!ental thing. Thus"
undines" for instance" b the la% of analog !anifest and intensif things analogous to the
ele!ent of %ater.
States earl 0hristians classified ele!entals under the title of de!ons. This is evinced to be true b the
fact that Lucifer is depicted %ith the =ualities of slph" the pagan 3od 'an" and satrs.
A funda!ental precept of (er!etic !edicine is that all diseases have their true root in the invisible
nature of !an (Astru!" Astral -od" Etheric -od" Dia!ond -od" Solar -od" etc.)
Guotes Eliphas Levi" %ho states that Light (Astral Light) is the creative agent" the !obili.ing agent" the
ani!ating agent" the life agent" it is sentFtrans!itted b stars and astrological bodies"" causes the
pheno!enon #no%n as ani!al !agnetis! (!agnetis!" chi" od" !es!eris!" rei#i" prana)" is released in
the air" inhaled" and discharged b the her!etic bello%s of the lungs.
5t has long been believed that stars and astrological bodies or heavenl bodies affect the astral

States 'aracelsus taught that 2bad2 !ental states and attitudes could poison the etheric (astral) bod" and
this poisoning %ould later occur as a phsical ail!ent.
This is obviousl" true due to the la% of interdependence. This can be seen in the fact that" for
instance" heart attac#s can be caused b !ental and e!otional states" as %ell as phsical states.
The different levels of hu!anit interact" and thus it is funda!entall a snthesis or the
interaction of the different levels according to their states" that deter!ines one2s states and
health" and =ualities.
States 'aracelsus recogni.ing a diseased astral bod as the !a$or cause of phsical disease sought to
bring the person into contact %ith things %hose life force or energies %ould suppl the ele!ents needed

(the po%er or radiative po%er of the !ind and the center2s role in phsical" astral" and !ental
sight as it is the brain and the pineal gland is said to be an actual ee left over fro! evolutionar

%hich is a phsical counterpart or analog of the astral bod" the brain %hich is a phsical
