magickal work, I have here provided a table of corre-
spondences that will give you a basic foundation of
the system.Lesson 6: Months and Signs
of the ZodiacFrom the very dawn of time, when our most remote
ancestors first looked up into the heavens in wonder
at the diamond-dusted vastness of the night sky, we
have sought meaning in the random patterns of the
stars. The constellations that have become such fa-
miliar elements of our sky-maps were drawn up many
thousands of years ago by “connecting the dots” of
prominent stars and have changed little since. Taurusis depicted as a great bull in the 15,000-year-old cave
paintings of Lascaux, complete with seven dots of the
Pleiades star-cluster on its shoulder. The great Sphinx
of Egypt is believed to have been originally carved
more than 10,500 years ago in the form of a crouch-
ing lion, representing the constellation of Leo. Scor-
pio has always been seen as a scorpion. The Sumerians
identified the constellations in their present arrange-
ment as early as 2500 BCE, but it was the Hellenic
Greeks who named the Zodiac (“circle of animals”).
Taurus, Leo, and Scorpio are three of the twelve
constellations we call the signs of the Zodiac. These
fall across the path of the ecliptic, the band in the sky
against which the Sun, Moon, and all the planets ap-
pear to travel (see 2.I.5: “Zodiacal Aeons” for a moreMULA- SVADHISH- SAHAS-
