Correspondences between the Aethyrs and the Tree of Life

In a prior post I listed the Good Ministers of the Aethyrs from Enochian magic. I'm still researching occultism for game design so I'm no expert, but on another blog I found a correspondence given between the orders of the Good Ministers and the Tree of Life from Kabbalah. You can see the full accounting at that blog, but I summarize these on the table below:

Sefira

In Atziluth

In Beriah

In Yetzirah

In Assiah

Kether

Ordo 1

Ordo 11

Ordo 21

Great Kings

Chokmah

Ordo 2

Ordo 12

Ordo 22

Seniors

Binah

Ordo 3

Ordo 13

Ordo 23

Transportation

Chesed

Ordo 4

Ordo 14

Ordo 24

Natural Substances

Geburah

Ordo 5

Ordo 15

Ordo 25

Mechanical Arts

Tifareth

Ordo 6

Ordo 16

Ordo 26

Secret Discovery

Netzach

Ordo 7

Ordo 17

Ordo 27

Medicine

Hod

Ordo 8

Ordo 18

Ordo 28

Transformation

Yesod

Ordo 9

Ordo 19

Ordo 29

Living Beings

Malkuth

Ordo 10

Ordo 20

Ordo 30

Precious Stones

As I noted before in the French version, different Invocations were assigned to different Sefirot but the associations were essentially arbitrary (although 3e certainly tried to make it feel less so by assigning specific themes to each Sefira, some of which actually drew from the symbolism noted above!) and not really based in any of the genuine occult symbolism. But now we have an assignment of Good Ministers to Sefirot based in genuine occult symbolism.

And here is some bonus symbolism for the Sefirot (as noted here, here, and here):

Sefira

Archangel

Angelic Host

Planet

Malkuth

Sandalphon

Ashim

Earth

Yesod

Gabriel

Kerubim

Moon

Hod

Raphael

Beni Elohim

Mercury

Netzach

Haniel

Tarshishim

Venus

Tifareth

Michael

Malakim

Sun

Geburah

Kamael

Seraphim

Mars

Chesed

Tzadqiel

Chashmalim

Jupiter

Binah

Tzaphqiel

Aralim

Saturn

Chokmah

Raziel

Auphanim

Zodiac

Kether

Metatron

Chaioth ha-Qodesh

Galaxy

Some of these made their way into the list of Invocations in the game rules, but not always consistently. This is why some of the summons are called Ashim, Kerubim, Tarshishim, and so on.

Hope you enjoyed!

“Fixing” the setting

These posts assume that the reader is already familiar with Nephilim , so don't expect an explanation of the game here. In addition to the clunky rules, and probably more important, the Nephilim game had fluff that alienated players in the Anglosphere. The rulebook frontloaded potential players with millennia of lore that they had to keep track of. Perhaps the most criticized aspect was that the titular nephilim were presented as parasites who possessed unwilling human hosts to pursue their agendas. While players were seemingly okay with playing murderous psychopaths in other games of the 90s, apparently body-thieves just weren't kosher. The English mailing list had numerous debates over this during its heyday. Rather than rehash those here, I'll cut straight to the point: in my revision of the setting, the nephilim are fusions of a human being and a soulless mindless elemental spirit . The human soul (Sol, Solar-Ka) provides will, purpose, desire, etc. The elemental spirit...

Simplifying the rules

One of the problems with the Nephilim game was that its rules, a variant of the venerable  BRP , were overly complicated and probably not all that well suited to it. The French version eventually dropped BRP entirely starting in its third edition, and the current fifth edition uses a dramatically simplified rules system. This has inspired me to devise my own simplified rules system for the English adaptation. I'm not going to convert to Fate like certain others have tried . The task resolution system will still be BRP's roll under d100 with difficulty levels and variable results. But all the character traits will change. The standard attributes/characteristics are Air-Ka, Earth-Ka, Fire-Ka, Lunar-Ka, Solar-Ka, and Water-Ka. These represent the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of the character. For nephilim characters, these also represent supernatural aspects. Rather than distinct skills, characters are described in freeform terms and given general competence ratings....

The spiritual pentacle and the elements

Image
In this post I explain the spiritual meaning of the Nephilim’s pentacle and the Ka-elements themselves. Although linked to specific game statistics, like Fire to Strength and Moon to Charisma, all of the elements have physical, mental and spiritual correspondences and manifestations.  It’s not one or the other . You don’t have to posit different cultures all have different elements to explain varying beliefs. Real occultism isn’t supposed to be accurate in the game world anyway, but the result of information leaks and cargo cults by muggles. Liam Routt gave a good explanation in  his old FAQ : (I’m putting it between horizontal rules because blogger has issues with formatting) The Spiritual Pentagram Traditionally, the pentagram represents our spiritual, mental, emotional and physical composition: Fire Doing—Fire is energy, the power to act. But it is pure action, undirected by thought or feeling. Air Thinking—Air is thinking, ideation, mental activity, but it can...
