Greek Theogony and the Golden Ratio

[randomactsofkarmasc]

I had previously posted a metaphor to correlate The Cosmic Doctrine with the Cabala (as presented in Levi's High Magic and JMG's Paths of Wisdom), which incorporated a Greek theogony.

 

In the last High Magic book club post, @JonGoddard commented on Kronos' scythe being sectioned by the Golden Ratio .  I have been meditating on how Kronos and the Golden Ratio are related and have updated my metaphor to incorporate some new insights.  Most of the original metaphor is unchanged (some of the diagrams on page 6 and 7 have been revised, page 20 has been added).  The new section, starting on page 37, is a metaphor describing creation through Phi (the Golden Ratio) as an aspect of force.

 

In addition to thanking Jon Goddard for sharing his insights which prompted my series of meditations, I would also like to thank Andrew Skeen, who assisted with some illustrations for the new metaphor and recommended Agrippa as a source for my research on the Muses.

The second edition of my metaphor can be downloaded here:  My Metaphor, 2nd ed

As before, I don't consider this metaphor "right" or "done".  I already have some meditation themes that will result in more revisions and additions.  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 it and provide feedback, or share a metaphor of your own.

Thanks for this. Your work seems like great raw material for what could later be developed into a Hellenic version of the GD system, in the manner of CGD and HGD.
