Septem Portae
Albedo · 3/7 refined
Albedo · 3 of seven spheres refined
With two or three dispositions surrendered, the chaos first settles and shows a ground colour. The work of whitening is washing and discernment: do not rush upward — first guard the clarity already won, like cloth bleaching under moonlight.
I
The seven spheres
- BindingMoonThe force of growth and waning — the involuntary swelling and shrinking that follows every external tide
- BindingMercuryMachination — the habit of bending intelligence into cunning and contrivance
- BindingVenusIllusory desire — love that projects the infinite onto finite objects
- BindingSunThe arrogance of rulership — mistaking one's central place for supremacy
- RefinedMarsTempered courage — the strength that knows what is fearful and advances nonetheless
- RefinedJupiterGenerosity — letting abundance flow through oneself without damming it
- RefinedSaturnTruth — looking limits in the face without being deceived by them
