the Pythagorean Order of Death

dedicated to restoring Atlantean Democracy

This model, given b/w in “The Book of Thoth” by Aleister Crowley, here coloured, depicts a
unique and, as noted, new arrangement for the placement of the basic 7 planets in a circle.
Previous arrangements ususally give the inverse of this placement, such that the 7 days follow the
course “around” the Heptagon (which Crowley falsely labels a “Hexagon”) with the order of the
Planetary Kamea being traced “along” the Heptagram (which Crowley falsely labels a “Hexagram”).
(Confer the per diem-based arrangement regarding Dee’s “Bonorum” by Zalewski on the last page.)
The numbers on this arrangement refer to the base-units per square of the “Kamea” (or “magic”
number-squares) of the seven classical planets. Therefore, the “Kamea” of Saturn consists of a
square whose sides all consist of three square divisions each. Thus, the total number of unit-
squares per “Kamea” number-square for each planet is the sum, given here, squared. Again, using
the example of Saturn, three basic unit-squares to the second power will yield nine, etc.
From the progression of the base-units per “Kamea” number-square of the planets, we yield what
Crowley here calls their “(magical) Order,” proceeding clockwise from top. Thus, by connecting
the 7 points of this Heptagon, by skipping two points between one and the next, with a line, we
form the Heptagram which Crowley notes gives “The Days of the Week.”
As to the colour-coding used in this diagram, it is unique from the previously discussed “Queen’s
Scale” of colouration for the Zodiac signs, planets and elements. In this diagram we are working on
a base-7 system, so I have coloured it using the seven colours of the basic spectrum of a prism.
It should be noted that any system of colours can be applied to any #-base system of symbols or
set of attributes. The purpose of applying a colour-coding system to such an arrangement is only
to make its inherent geometric relationships appear clearer. In point of fact, many of the
arrangements of attributes we will be dealing with in the Golden Dawn section of this class on the
“Enochian” System of Dr. Dee are blatantly inaccurate, or rather, arranged in a manner not
congruent with current observable data. It should be noted and noted again that the arrangements
given by the Golden Dawn are only a starting-off point, like the “Base Camp” of mountaineers, and
should not be so venerated that their errors be replicated. Apply them where useful and learn
from them what you can, and remember that the motto of the “Equinox” is “The Method of Science,
The Aim of Religion” and not the other-way around.
Therefore, read this diagram in the method thus: the Sun and Sunday are coloured Green. The
“Kamea” order of the colours depicts the shorter line, “around” the Heptagon, and the Days of the
Week depicts the longer line, “along” the (skip-2) Heptagram. So the “Kamea” of the sun would
here be the Shorter, Green line, and the day of “Sunday” would be the Longer, Green line.
Therefore we read: Monday = Red, Tuesday = Blue, Wednesday = Orange, Thursday = Indigo, Friday
= Yellow, Saturday = Violet and Sunday = Green, and from this order we produce the points of each
attribute on the Heptagram from two lines whose colours are “flashing” or complimentary.
Lastly it should only be worth noting briefly that the skip-2 Heptagram contains in its own centre
the skip-1 Heptagram, and that the colouration for the points of the skip-1 Heptagram’s points of
intersection are equally significant as those of the skip-2 Heptagram or those of the Heptagon.
