Xochipilli
In the museum of Anthropology and History of Mexico City is found Xochipilli seated upon a beautifully carved basalt cube. He has his knees up high and his legs crossed like the cross of Saint Andrew, his hands above his knees with their respective index fingers and thumbs in contact. His sight is towards the infinite. He wears great earrings made of jade, an armored chest with tassels that end as tiger paws or serpent’s fangs, and upon the center of his armor are shown two suns with a big half moon upon each one of them. He has bracelets and kneecaps that are finished as six petaled flowers; leg-armor with paws which seize his ankles, and upon his leg-armor there are two bellflowers whose corollas downwardly spread, one with six seeds and the other with fire. He is wearing cactlis whose lashes are graciously knotted upon his feet.
The Secret Teaching of the Nahuas
If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am Jehovah that healeth thee. - Exodus 15:26
“The origin of all human sufferings has to be searched for within sin.” This is what the Tlamatinime taught. The righteous one is invulnerable to evil.
Netzach
We have arrived at a very interesting subject matter in our studies: this is the matter of “mental works.”
The first thing that everyone who enters into these studies wants is to dominate the minds of others. This is pure and legitimate black magic. No one has the right to violate the free will of others. No one has the right to exercise coaction upon the mind of others, because that is pure and genuine black magic. The ones who are guilty of this grave error are all of those mistaken authors that are everywhere. All of those books of hypnotism, magnetism, and suggestion are books of black magic.
The Sephirah Hod
Now, we are going to study the Sephirah Hod, whose regent is Raphael. Let us see, we already studied the Arcanum Thirteen, Death. Indeed, the Goddess of Death is an adorable Mother. Jesus met her when he rose to Jordan in the solitude of the desert. She governs all the Angels of death. Let us reflect on the Arcanum Twenty, which represents the Resurrection. Let us study also the Arcanum of Job, the famous Arcanum Eight. This Arcanum signifies, as a fact, ordeals and grieving. No one is worthy of receiving the Crown of Life without having passed through the ordeals of the Arcanum Eight.
The Ninth Sphere
We have arrived at the Ninth Arcanum, the Hermit of the Tarot, the Sephirah Yesod. This Sephirah is the Ethereal World, the Eden of the Bible. That Sephirah is governed by the Moon. The rector of Eden is our Lord Jehovah. It is very interesting to know that Eden is governed by the positive rays of the Moon, while the Abyss obeys the orders of the negative rays from this satellite.
The Elohim live in Eden; yet, the terrible and perverse Lucifers live in the Abyss. The innocent elementals of fire, air, water, and earth exist in Eden; yet, the demons exist in the Abyss. Behold here the pair of opposites of philosophy.
