Cosmic Doctrine, the Cabala, and Greek Theogony

[randomactsofkarmasc]

I have been working on a series of meditations to correlate The Cosmic Doctrine with the Cabala (as presented by Levi in High Magic and JMG in Paths of Wisdom).  As I worked with the ideas, I began to see how a theogony of the Greek pantheon could be aligned with the Cabala ("a" theogony, not "the" theogony, as I borrowed deities and myths from a variety of mythographers).

I don't consider my metaphor to be "right" or "done"; I'm sure I'll be revising it as I learn and grow.  I attribute much of my learning and growth to JMG and his commentariat, so I am sharing this in hopes that some of you may have time to read my metaphor and provide feedback or, if you have been working on your own metaphor or Cosmic Doctrine/Cabala alignment, that you'll consider sharing yours.

You can find Pico's in his 900 Theses, specifically in the second section, 11>48 (synchronicity, perhaps, but I had been reading about this literally this morning, prior to going online and seeing this post). You can likely find this online in translation. You can find Portae Lucis's correspondences here (else search Portae Lucis > Further Explanations > The Gifts from the Grandfather (it's a magic site and has its traps... :> ))

I would note, for us poveri syncretists from the Italo-Greco diaspora, that the latter synchs up well with Dante's spheres of Paradise...

Axé!

Thank you so much for this! I will read it this weekend. :-)

Sure...I would hasten to add, though, that I in no way present these as doctrinal (indeed, they don't accord, themselves). While I have yet to read your thesis, it is my hunch that, if you find viable, robust correspondences that aid you on your path, then they are presumably godsent, and that you should follow what works for you.

Axé and all blessings...

Ha! One of my deities is Hermes, and he delights in tossing breadcrumbs for me to follow. I have learned that if I ignore a breadcrumb, it might come back as a bread loaf or as a bread bludgeon. I thank you for your breadcrumbs and will follow them where they will lead and will learn what they have to teach me.
