Table of Correspondences

As above, so below — the single grid on which every system in this vault is a different reading.

This is the vault's own Liber 777: the master table that shows how the separate collections — Tarot, Astrology, the Kabbalah and its Tree of Life, the Elements, the Chakras, Alchemy, and Sacred Geometry — are all readings of one structure. A planet is also a metal, a colour, an incense, a god, an archangel, a sphere of the Tree, and a card of the deck; a sign rules a part of the body; even the Chinese trigrams echo the four elements. Read across any row and the whole web lights up.

Beneath the many named collections lie three connective spines — the Tree, the planets, and the elements — and every other system reads off one of them:

The Tree of Life — The Master Glyph

Everything below is a table; this is the picture the tables describe. The ten Sephiroth are the numbered circles — each a planet, a metal, a god, an archangel. The twenty-two lines joining them are the paths, and each path is a Hebrew letter (shown on the line) which is also a tarot trump. To read a correspondence is to trace a route on this glyph: the Sun (6, Tiphareth) reaches the Moon (9, Yesod) along path ס — Samekh — which is Temperance. The whole table is this diagram, unfolded into rows.

The three pillars — Severity (left), Mildness (centre), Mercy (right) — and the descent from crown (1) to kingdom (10). Path letters run א (11) through ת (32); the paths table below gives each its trump.

The Elements

The Gemstones

Where the four elements are the abstract principles, the stones are those principles fallen all the way into matter — the correspondence web crystallized, each mineral a fixed point where a colour, a chakra, an element, and a planet meet in something you can hold in your hand.

The Planets

The seven classical planets are the hinge of the whole table: each is one identity read seven ways — a wandering light, a metal, a god, an archangel, a sphere on the Tree, and a trump in the deck. Read a planet's row and you are reading a single power under all its names.

(Khamael, Tzadkiel, and Tzaphkiel are the traditional archangels of Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.)

The Zodiac

The twelve signs take those same planetary rulers and thread them through the elements and modalities — the wheel is where planet meets element meets season, each sign a specific weather of one of the four principles.

The 36 Decans

The deepest layer of the table is the one that ties the most systems together at once. Each ten-degree decan is simultaneously a third of a sign, a minor-arcana pip card, a planetary ruler, and a pair of Shem angels and Goetic spirits — the seventy-two of each filling the seventy-two half-decans exactly. The full thirty-six-row cross-index lives in The 36 Decans.

The Eight Trigrams

The one Eastern system that maps cleanly onto the Western elemental grid is the bagua of the I Ching (the eight Trigrams) — eight three-line figures built from broken (yin) and solid (yang) lines, each a natural force and a member of the archetypal family. Where the West works in four elements, the Chinese scheme works in eight images and five phases, but the logic is the same: a small set of principles whose combinations describe everything.

The directions given are the Later Heaven (King Wen) arrangement, the one used for feng shui and divination. A fuller Taoist treatment — the 64 hexagrams, yin-yang, the five phases — is its own study; here the eight sit as the Eastern echo of the Elements.

The Sephiroth

The Tree of Life is the skeleton the rest of the table hangs on: ten spheres of emanation onto which the planets, the metals, the gods, and the cards all map. Every other system in this vault is, in a sense, a way of walking this structure.

The Major Arcana & the Paths

The twenty-two trumps are the twenty-two paths that join the Sephiroth, each a Hebrew letter and an astrological attribution.

As Above, So Below

This table runs on one axiom, the one the epigraph borrows from the Emerald Tablet by way of Hermeticism: as above, so below. The Kabbalistic cosmos does not stay singular — it unfolds, sphere into sphere down the Tree of Life, the one light differentiating into the many orders. Every row above is a slice of that descent.

System 777 carries the living counterpart to this grid. Its Personal Angels framework reads the same emanationist logic inward: if the macrocosm is structured as a descending host of intelligences — archangels at the cardinal points, and on down — then as above, so below holds for the microcosm too, and a single soul carries the same architecture in miniature, its own inner celestial entourage. Where this table maps the orders of the cosmos, that framework maps the daimones of one interior — the Shekhinah in her indwelling aspect, the presence that dwells within rather than beyond.

Held, as that note holds itself, as worldview and meaning — a way of understanding the shape of an inner life — and not as clinical or metaphysical proof. The same correspondence web, read once toward the heavens and once toward home.
