178 The <strong>Kabbalah</strong> <strong>of</strong><strong>the</strong> <strong>Golden</strong> <strong>Dawn</strong><br />
brethren, and let him dip his foot in oil. Thy shoes shall be<br />
iron and brass, and as thy days, so shall thy strength be." The<br />
armorial bearings <strong>of</strong> Asher are Purple, a Cup. All this coincides<br />
with <strong>the</strong> natur« <strong>of</strong> Venus and Libra, wblle <strong>the</strong> feet refer<br />
to <strong>the</strong> sign <strong>of</strong> Pisces, which rule <strong>the</strong> feet, and in whIch Venus<br />
is exalted. Iron emd Br"ss arc <strong>the</strong> metals <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> friendly planers<br />
Mars and Venus.<br />
Of Dan, Scorpio, Jacob says-"Dan shall judge his people<br />
as one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> tribes <strong>of</strong> Israel. Dan shall be a serpent by <strong>the</strong> way,<br />
an adder in <strong>the</strong> path, that l-iterh <strong>the</strong> horse's heels, so that his<br />
rider shall fall backward. I have waited for thy salvation, ()<br />
Lord." Moses says, "Dan is a lion's whelp, he shall leap from<br />
Bashan." The armorial benrings <strong>of</strong> Dan are Green, an Eagle.<br />
These things fit with <strong>the</strong> martial and fierce nature <strong>of</strong> this sign,<br />
in which Mars principally bears sway. To <strong>the</strong> sign <strong>of</strong> Scorpio,<br />
<strong>the</strong> Egyptians attributed <strong>the</strong> Serpent, and also Typhon, <strong>the</strong><br />
Slayer <strong>of</strong> Osiris, and on this account <strong>the</strong>y call it <strong>the</strong> "Accursed<br />
Sign." In good symbolism It is generally represented by <strong>the</strong><br />
Eagle. The; horse's heeL; which Ihe Serpent hires are found in<br />
<strong>the</strong> Centaur figure <strong>of</strong> Sagittarius which follows Scorpio in <strong>the</strong><br />
ZodIac.<br />
Of Benjamin, Sagitranus, Jacob says, "Benjamin shall ravin<br />
as a wolf in <strong>the</strong> morning he shall devour <strong>the</strong> prey, and at night<br />
he shall divide <strong>the</strong> spoil." Moses says-"The beloved <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
Lord shall dwell in safety by him; and <strong>the</strong> Lord shall cover him<br />
all <strong>the</strong> day long, and he shall dwell between his shoulders."<br />
The armorial bearings <strong>of</strong> Benjamin me-Green, a Wolf. These<br />
suit <strong>the</strong> character <strong>of</strong> Sagittarim, portly keen, partly uf <strong>the</strong><br />
nature <strong>of</strong> Jupiter, and partly brutal.<br />
Of Zebulon, Capricurn, Jacoh says-"!.ebulon shall dwell<br />
at <strong>the</strong> haven <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> sea, and he shall be for a haven <strong>of</strong> ships,<br />
ond his border shall be unto Sidon." Moses says, "Rejoice<br />
Zebulon in thy going out, and Issachar in thy tents, <strong>the</strong>y shall<br />
call <strong>the</strong> people unro <strong>the</strong> mountain, <strong>the</strong>re <strong>the</strong> v shall <strong>of</strong>fer sacrifices<br />
<strong>of</strong> righteousness, for <strong>the</strong>y shall suck <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> abundance <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> sea, <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> treasures hid in <strong>the</strong> sands." This suits well <strong>the</strong><br />
tropical, earthy and water signs <strong>of</strong> Capricorn ond Cancer. The<br />
armonaI beanngs <strong>of</strong> Zebulon are- Purple, a Ship.<br />
Of Reuben, Aquanus, jacob says-"Reuben, thou art my<br />
firstborn, my might, and <strong>the</strong> beginning <strong>of</strong> my strength, <strong>the</strong><br />
excellency <strong>of</strong> dignity and <strong>the</strong> excellency <strong>of</strong> puwer. Unstable as<br />
water, thou shalt not excel, because thou wcntest up to thy<br />
fa<strong>the</strong>r's bed, <strong>the</strong>n dcfiledsr thou it; he went up to my couch."
