Tarot - Arcanum No. 7

The Arcanum No. 7 represents magical power in all its strength, the Holy Seven is the Sanctum Regnum of Sacred Magic, of High Esoteric Magic in Kabbalah, the Chariot of War.

The Arcanum No. 7 is the Chariot of War that the Monad has created in order to be able to act in this world, having power to work in this field of life. It is the already realized Monad, manifesting itself through the 7 Bodies.

From another perspective, the No. 7 means struggles, battles, difficulties; however, despite all the battles, it is always victorious.

The Arcanum No. 7 represents the 7 Notes of the Lyre of Orpheus, the 7 musical Notes, the 7 Colors of the solar prism, the 7 Planets, the 7 Vices that we must transmute into the 7 Virtues, the 7 Sidereal Genii, the 7 Bodies, the 7 Dimensions, the 7 Degrees of the Power of the Fire, the 7 Secret Words that were spoken by the Solar Logos (of Calvary), etc.

The No. 7 is the Intimate, our Real Being, assisted by all of the Elemental Forces of the Nature. Nature is a great living organism; in a final synthesis this great machine is controlled by Elemental Forces. The Human Being has Seven Bodies, each body has its Spinal Medulla and its Sacred Serpent.

The Seven Bodies of the Human Being are the following:

1. PHYSICAL BODY
2. VITAL BODY
3. ASTRAL BODY OR BODY OF DESIRE
4. MENTAL BODY
5. CAUSAL BODY OR BODY OF WILL
6. BODY OF THE CONSCIOUSNESS
7. BODY OF THE INTIMATE

There are seven vices that we have to transmute:

• THE SOLAR PRIDE:INTO FAITH, HUMILITY
• THE LUNAR AVARICE: INTO ALTRUISM
• THE VENUSIAN LUST: INTO CHASTITY
• THE MARTIAN ANGER: INTO LOVE
• THE MERCURIAN LAZINESS: INTO DILIGENCE
• THE SATURNIAN GLUTTONY: INTO TEMPERANCE
• THE JUPITERIAN ENVY:INTO HAPPINESS FOR THE WELLBEING OF OTHERS

We can disintegrate our Defects and dissolve the Psychological "I" only by means of the Science of Transmutations. We can modify our errors, transmute the vile metals into Pure Gold and govern only by means of the Science of Transmutations. Work with the Arcanum A.Z.F. so that you can receive the Sword.

The Arcanum No. 7 "Triumph" is attained through great struggles and bitterness, this is seen in the Seven Capital Sins that we must transmute into Seven Virtues: the transmutation of the 7 Inferior Metals into Pure Gold.

The Governors of the Seven Planets are:

• GABRIEL - MOON
• RAPHAEL - MERCURY
• URIEL - VENUS
• MICHAEL - SUN
• SAMAEL - MARS
• ZACHARIEL - JUPITER
• ORIFIEL - SATURN

Arcanum No. 7 is Struggle, Battle, Difficulties. The Warrior must learn to use the Staff and the Sword, thus he will attain the Great Victory. Our device is Thelema (Willpower).

• Kabbalistic Sephiroth: „NETZACH”
• Hebrew Letter: „ZAIN”
• Transcendental Axiom: „When science shall enter into your heart and wisdom shall be sweet to your soul, ask and it shall be granted to you.”
• Forecasting Element: "It guarantees magnetic power, appropriate understanding (union of intellect and intuition), justice and reparations, honor and dishonor, achievement of that which is pursued with determination, satisfactions and disappointments."

SYNTHESIS:

• The "Pater Noster" (Lord’s Prayer) is the most perfect prayer. The Lord’s Prayer with its Seven Esoteric Petitions is one of the magical prayers. One has to meditate upon each petition.
• Whoever wants to become a Magus must attain the Sword.
• The Sword is the Kundalini. The Sword is the Fire of the Holy Spirit.
• One has to work with the Arcanum A.Z.F. in order to attain the Sword. The struggle is terrible. The warrior can free himself from the Four Bodies of Sin only by means of the Arcanum A.Z.F.
• We gain nothing by filling our heads with theories.
• It is better to love a good woman and practice Sexual Magic with her daily, rather than to waste time with polemics, intellectualism and theories.
• In this manner we acquire the Sword of Kundalini and we awaken all of our Magical Powers so as to enter through the gates of the Triumphant City.
