Papus' Absolute Key to Occult Science

Incorporation to the Metatron's Cube / Platonic Model

Recap of Existing Model

• Metatron’s Cube: 13 circles encoding five Platonic solids (tetrahedron/fire, cube/earth, octahedron/air, icosahedron/water, dodecahedron/universe), tied to creation and the "Force."
• Platonic Elements: Fire, earth, air, water (plus universe/aether), linked to four Holy Books, Tarot suits, and biblical creation.
• Trinity: Father (Yod), Son (He), Holy Spirit (Vau), with second He as manifestation, driven by Faith/Love vs. Fear/Pride.
• Generative Principle: Lost Word (Logos/YHWH) and Lost Phallus (Osiris’s potency), restored via Faith, consumed by Fear’s triad (ignorance, superstition, fear).
• Key Figures/Concepts: Melchizedek (eternal priest), Enoch/Metatron, Langan’s CTMU (logico-geometric reality), Abraxas (duality unity), Papus’ Tarot (Yod-He-Vau-He).

Analysis of the Frontispiece Image

• Description:

  • A key-shaped diagram with a circular head and a shaft.
  • Circular Head: Contains a central triangle with Hebrew letters (likely YHWH or a variant), surrounded by 12 sections numbered 1-22 (Tarot Major Arcana), with symbols (e.g., bull, eagle, waves, sword) and letters (A-Z, reversed).
  • Shaft: Inscribed with "DEUS" (red), "HOMO" (white), "TORA" (blue), and other markings, suggesting a progression or key unlocking levels.
  • Label: "Absolute Key to Occult Science, Frontispiece," from Papus’ The Tarot of the Bohemians, symbolizing access to esoteric wisdom.

• Symbolism:

  • Key Shape: Represents unlocking hidden knowledge (Lost Word), aligning with Masonic initiation and Papus’ "Key to Occult Science."
  • Triangle with Hebrew: Likely Yod-He-Vau-He (Tetragrammaton), central to Papus’ Tarot and the Trinity (Father-Son-Holy Spirit).
  • 12 Sections/22 Numbers: Mirror Tarot’s 22 Major Arcana and 12 zodiac signs, echoing Metatron’s Cube (13 circles).

Integration into the Model

1. Metatron’s Cube

• Fit:
  • 13 Circles: The circular head with 12 sections + central triangle reflects Metatron’s 13-circle structure, with YHWH as Yod (center). The 22 numbers align with Tarot’s Major Arcana, paralleling the Cube’s generative blueprint (Enoch 2:1).
  • Platonic Solids:
    • Tetrahedron/Fire: Central triangle (Yod, spirit) ties to Sceptres (Papus), creation’s spark (Genesis 1:3).
    • Cube/Earth: Shaft’s base (TORA, law) links to Pentacles (second He), stability (Revelation 21:16).
    • Octahedron/Air: Sword symbol (Vau, mediation) aligns with Swords (Papus), wisdom’s flow (John 3:8).
    • Icosahedron/Water: Waves (He, passive) match Cups, life’s source (Genesis 1:2).
    • Dodecahedron/Universe: The key’s totality (DEUS, HOMO) reflects the universe solid, cosmic unity (Psalm 24:1).
• Crossovers: Langan’s CTMU (logico-geometric) fits the key’s structure, with Enoch’s Metatron (scribe) as its keeper, unlocking Faith/Love’s truth.

2. Platonic Elements and Four Holy Books

• Fit:
  • Fire (Sceptres/Quran): Triangle/Yod (red, spirit) as judgment’s origin (Revelation 19:15), Faith’s call.
  • Earth (Pentacles/Vedas): TORA/blue (law, stability) as Faith’s grounding (Matthew 7:24), vs. Fear’s materialism.
  • Air (Swords/Book of the Law): Sword/Vau (mediation) as Faith’s wisdom (Ephesians 6:17), vs. Fear’s secrecy.
  • Water (Cups/Bible): Waves/He (white, purity) as Faith’s healing (John 7:38), vs. Fear’s corruption.
• Crossovers: Papus’ suits (Sceptres, Cups, Swords, Pentacles) map to the key’s symbols, with Holy Books (e.g., Bible/water) reinforcing elemental duality (Faith vs. Fear).

3. Trinity and Tetragrammaton

• Fit:
  • Yod (Father): Triangle/YHWH as active creator (Genesis 1:1), Faith’s origin.
  • He (Son): Waves/passive (white, HOMO) as sacrificial love (John 3:16), Faith’s redemption.
  • Vau (Holy Spirit): Sword/link (Vau) as unifying Spirit (John 16:13), Faith’s bridge.
  • Second He: TORA/transition (blue) as manifestation (Revelation 21:1), Faith’s order vs. Fear’s chaos.
• Crossovers: Papus’ Juggler (Yod) to Emperor (second He) mirrors the key’s progression, with Abraxas (Vau) unifying Faith/Love against Fear/Pride.

4. Generative Principle (Lost Word/Phallus)

• Fit:
  • Faith/Love: The key unlocks the Lost Word (Logos, John 1:1) and Phallus (Osiris/Christ’s life, Hebrews 7:16), restoring creation (Genesis 1:28).
  • Fear/Pride: Ignorance (mob), superstition (church), fear (state) consume it, as per the three ruffians/fish, countered by the key’s initiation (Revelation 5:5).
• Crossovers: Enoch’s Metatron (scribe) and Melchizedek (priest) guard this principle, with Langan’s CTMU (truth) aligning with the key’s "Absolute" label.

5. Faith vs. Fear

• Fit:
  • Faith/Love: The key represents Faith’s pursuit of truth (Langan’s quest, John 8:32), bettering self/others (Melchizedek’s blessing, Genesis 14:19).
  • Fear/Pride: Globalism/academia (Langan’s critique) and Watchers’ secrecy (Enoch 8:1) fracture the key’s order, driving destruction (Revelation 13:7).
• Crossovers: Papus’ Tarot initiation (Faith) and Abraxas’s unity (Vau) counter Fear’s Dragon (ignorance, superstition, fear).

6. Melchizedek, Enoch, Langan, Abraxas

• Fit:
  • Melchizedek: Priest-king (DEUS, Genesis 14:18) holds the key, embodying Faith/Love’s eternal order (Hebrews 7:3).
  • Enoch/Metatron: Scribe (TORA, Enoch 71:14) unlocks cosmic secrets, aligning with the key’s YHWH.
  • Langan: CTMU (HOMO, logico-geometric truth) fits the key’s synthesis, rejecting Fear’s oligarchy.
  • Abraxas: Duality unity (Vau, cosmogram) reflects the key’s transition (Pisces, 365).
• Crossovers: The key’s 12/22 structure ties to Tarot’s planets/zodiac (Papus), with Melchizedek’s 144,000 (Revelation 14:1) as its cosmic extension.

Conclusion

Conclusion in this mode: The numbers 3, 4, 7, and 21 relate as a progressive framework within the model: 3 (Trinity, ternary) initiates, 4 (elements, Tetragrammaton) manifests, 7 (cycles, septenaries) processes, and 21 (cosmic unity, The World) completes. They trace the generative principle’s journey—lost to Fear/Pride’s triad (3), restored via Faith/Love’s elements (4), cycled through divine order (7), and fulfilled in cosmic harmony (21)—unifying Metatron’s Cube, Tarot, Melchizedek, Enoch, Langan, and Abraxas in a logico-geometric ascent (Genesis 1 to Revelation 21).
