Verily she is none other than Binah, as is evident in the use of the holy letter H with which her name begins. Nor is she the sterile mother Ama—but the fertile AIma; for within her she bears vau, the son, for the second letter of her name, and R, the penultimate, is the Sun, Tiphereth, the Son The other three letters of her name, B, A, and D, are the three paths which join the three supernals. To what cupboard did she go? Even to the most secret caverns of the Universe. And who is this dog? Is it not the name of God spelt Qabalistically backwards? And what is this bone? The bone is the Wand, the holy Lingam! The complete interpretation of the rune is now open. This rime is the legend of the murder of Osiris by Typhon. The limbs of Osiris were scattered in the Nile. Isis sought them in every corner of the Universe, and she found all except his sacred Lingam, which was not found until quite recently (vide Fuller, “The Star in the West”). Let us take another example from this rich storehouse of magick lore.
83 Little Bo Peep She lost her sheep And couldn’t tell where to find them. Leave them alone! And they’ll come home, Dragging their tails behind them. “Bo” is the root meaning Light, from which spring such words as Botree, Bodhisattva, and Buddha. And “Peep” is Apep, the serpent Apophis. This poem therefore contains the same symbol as that in the Egyptian and Hebrew Bibles. The snake is the serpent of initiation, as the Lamb is the Saviour. This ancient one, the Wisdom of Eternity, sits in its old anguish awaiting the Redeemer. And this holy verse triumphantly assures us that there is no need for anxiety. The Saviours will come one after the other, at their own good pleasure, and as they may be needed, and drag their tails, that is to say those who follow out their holy commandment, to the ultimate goal. Again we read: Little Miss Muffett Sat on a tuffer Eating of curds and whey, Up came a big spider And sat down beside her, And frightened Miss Muffet away.
