The dual associations of the metals with the Sephiroth are confusing
and relate to various stages of the experiment. I must confess that I

A rectification of this would be as follows:
Kether
Chokmah
Binah
Daath
Chesed
Geburah
Tiphareth
Netzach
Hod
Yesod
Malkuth
Mercury
Sulphur
Salt
Lead
Tin
Iron
Gold
Copper
Quicksilver
Silver
Metallic Root
