Figures

This page is a lexicon of all 81 figures. You can peruse them however you’d like or use the search function to find specific ones.

Please note: this page is very much a work-in-progress and will go through continuous revisions and updates as I learn more and discover more.

Core Figure Grammar

As a reminder, the key to understanding any figure is through its structure:

Elements

Row	Domain	Element
1	awareness & intentionality	Fire
2	reasoning & classification	Air
3	emotion & raw experience	Water
4	action & physicality	Earth

States of Being

Value	State	Glyph
1	Manifest
2	Liminal
3	Latent

Each entry starts from that structure. Its image, commentary, and divinatory meaning suggest ways the four rows might work together in a reading; the question and chart position determine how to apply them.

Preliminary Notes

Each figure is given its own special name.

The elemental signature names a suggested flavor, including a quality held in latency; it does not replace reading all four rows.

Names were chosen to preserve some abstract resemblance to the four stacked marks whenever possible. A name may come from the silhouette, the figure’s motion, the emotional impression of the pattern, or all three at once.

Each entry will always contain:

• Alternate identities
• Keywords
• Elemental signature
• Commentary
• Divinatory meaning

You may additionally find notes pertaining to:

• Qabalah
• Astrology
• Tarot
• Runes
• Chart-position

The first sixteen figures name their inherited geomantic heritage and traditional planetary or zodiacal attributions. Zodiacal comparisons for the other sixty-five figures, and every figure-level Sephirah, Hebrew-letter path, Tarot, and rune comparison, are experimental. They belong to this modern vocabulary and should be set aside if the four-row structure disagrees with them.

The Hebrew-letter endpoints here follow the Hermetic Kircher/Golden Dawn Tree, the scheme used alongside Tarot in Western esotericism. They are not placements from the Jewish trees associated with Moses Cordovero or Isaac Luria. The Hermetic letter assignments used here can be checked in this Golden Dawn path table. A figure’s Sephirah, path, and Tarot card are independent analogies, not a single inherited attribution table: the path need not touch its Sephirah or correspond to its Tarot card.

There are also proposed chart resonances.

“Strong” and “weak” chart relationships are not traditional essential dignities. They are proposed Tetriamantic resonances derived from the figure’s elemental character and the tetrahedral registers:

• A: Will / Atziluth / Fire
• B: Encounter / Briah / Water
• C: Form / Yetzirah / Air
• D: Actuality / Assiah / Earth

They are intended to work somewhat like a memorable dignity/debility system without pretending the tetrahedral chart is an astrological house system.

1-1-1-1

Name: The Pilgrim
Complement: The Chorus (3-3-3-3)
Geomantic heritage: Via
Alternate identities: The Road, The Wanderer, The Fourfold Way
Keywords: movement, flow, momentum, journey, full emergence

Visual form:

Visual mnemonic: A road opening under first light, every step already becoming the journey.

Elemental signature: Water (manifest); secondary Fire
Chart relationship: strong in A, AD, and ABCD; weak in BCD and the most static expressions of D
Experimental Sephirah resonance: Yesod
Experimental Hermetic path resonance: Cheth — Binah–Geburah
Traditional zodiac / planet: Cancer / Moon
Experimental Thoth Tarot analogue: The Chariot
Experimental rune analogue: Raidho

Commentary. All four registers are manifest: purpose, understanding, feeling, and action reinforce one another. Movement is visible at every level.

Divinatory meaning. A matter is moving openly with little hidden resistance. Follow its momentum if progress serves the question; if stillness is needed, it may carry too much into view.

---

3-3-3-3

Name: The Chorus
Complement: The Pilgrim (1-1-1-1)
Geomantic heritage: Populus
Alternate identities: The Four Voices, The Congregation, The Drone
Keywords: crowd, diffusion, collectivity, passivity, multitude

Visual form:

Visual mnemonic: Four lone points stand one above another like four heads on four choir risers: soprano, alto, tenor, bass. The figure is not a crowd seen from above; it is a vertical stack of voices whose individual bodies disappear into the sound.

Elemental signature: Water (latent); secondary Fire
Chart relationship: strong in B, BCD, and ABCD; weak in A and direct AD-style intervention
Experimental Sephirah resonance: Yesod
Experimental Hermetic path resonance: Gimel — Kether–Tiphareth
Traditional zodiac / planet: Cancer / Moon
Experimental Thoth Tarot analogue: The Priestess
Experimental rune analogue: Mannaz

Commentary. All four registers are latent. The choir names shared potential or atmosphere without any one voice yet declaring or acting.

Divinatory meaning. Look for unspoken consensus or a mood larger than one person. It can shelter possibility, but a question requiring individual initiative may remain unanswered.

---

1-1-1-3

Name: The Closing Gate
Complement: The Mourner (3-3-3-1)
Geomantic heritage: Cauda Draconis
Alternate identities: The Last Door, The Dragon’s Tail, The Cut Cord

Chart relationship: strong in A, AC, and ABC; weak in BCD and BD
Experimental Sephirah resonance: Geburah
Experimental Hermetic path resonance: Nun — Tiphareth–Netzach
Traditional zodiac / planet: South Node / Lunar South Node
Experimental Thoth Tarot analogue: Death
Experimental rune analogue: Anglo-Saxon Ear

Commentary. Intention, explanation, and feeling are expressed while action has withdrawn. An ending can be clear inwardly before it is completed outwardly.

Divinatory meaning. A release is understood and felt, but a practical step may remain. In questions of reconciliation, the refusal to act may itself be significant.

---

3-3-3-1

Name: The Cairn
Complement: The Closing Gate (1-1-1-3)
Geomantic heritage: Tristitia
Alternate identities: The Grave Stone, The Weight, The Downward Bell

Experimental Hermetic path resonance: Nun — Tiphareth–Netzach
Traditional zodiac / planet: Aquarius / Saturn
Experimental Thoth Tarot analogue: 3 of Swords — Sorrow
Experimental rune analogue: Anglo-Saxon Ear

Commentary. Only Earth is manifest. The stone’s weight is a fact while desire, explanation, and feeling remain unspoken.

Divinatory meaning. A burden has material consequences before anyone can explain or mourn it. Address practical needs without assuming the visible weight tells the whole story.

---

1-1-3-1

Name: The Red Spear
Complement: The White Vessel (3-3-1-3)

Experimental Hermetic path resonance: Heh — Chokmah–Tiphareth
Traditional zodiac / planet: Aries / Mars
Experimental Thoth Tarot analogue: 5 of Wands — Strife
Experimental rune analogue: Tiwaz / Anglo-Saxon Gar

Commentary. Fire, Air, and Earth are manifest while Water is latent. The spear has direction, justification, and force but little admitted experience of its impact.

Divinatory meaning. Decisive action may break a stalemate or escalate conflict. Ask whether those acting have made room to feel its consequences.

---

3-3-1-3

Name: The Dagger’s Reflection Complement: The Red Spear (1-1-3-1)

Experimental Hermetic path resonance: Gimel — Kether–Tiphareth
Traditional zodiac / planet: Gemini / Mercury

Experimental rune analogue: Laguz / Anglo-Saxon Calc

Commentary. Water alone is manifest. Clarity is experiential here: something is unmistakably felt before its cause or next step becomes clear.

Divinatory meaning. Trust the immediate experience without forcing a premature plan. Reflection helps, but a strong feeling is not yet a complete account of the facts.

Experimental Hermetic path resonance: Teth — Chesed–Geburah

---

Complement: The Mirror (1-3-1-1)
Geomantic heritage: Rubeus
Alternate identities: The Overturned Cup, The Red Warning, The Unshed Wine
Keywords: feared rupture, volatile judgment, unspent heat, warning

Visual form:

Visual mnemonic: A broad line of thought sits between three latent rows. The red cup is still upright: the imagined spill is more present than any actual rupture.

Elemental signature: Air (manifest); secondary Fire (latent)
Chart relationship: strong in C, AC, and CD as an interpretive warning; weak in B and D as evidence of a concrete rupture
Experimental Sephirah resonance: Hod
Experimental Hermetic path resonance: Ayin — Tiphareth–Hod
Traditional zodiac / planet: Scorpio / Mars
Experimental Thoth Tarot analogue: 8 of Swords — Interference
Experimental rune analogue: Thurisaz

Commentary. Air is manifest while Fire, Water, and Earth are latent. The overturned cup is a feared or narrated possibility; the spill has not yet occurred.

Experimental Hermetic path resonance: Ayin — Tiphareth–Hod
Traditional zodiac / planet: Capricorn / Saturn
Experimental Thoth Tarot analogue: The Devil
Experimental rune analogue: Nauthiz

Commentary. Fire and Earth are manifest around latent thought and feeling. The prison is a real condition or repeated action whose sustaining story remains hidden.

Geomantic heritage: Conjunctio
Alternate identities: The Crossing, The Joined Roads, The Exchange

Experimental Sephirah resonance: Chesed
Experimental Hermetic path resonance: Aleph — Kether–Chokmah
Traditional zodiac / planet: Pisces / Jupiter
Experimental Thoth Tarot analogue: The Fool
Experimental rune analogue: Wunjo

Experimental Sephirah resonance: Tiphareth
Experimental Hermetic path resonance: Samekh — Tiphareth–Yesod
Experimental zodiac / planetary analogue: Aries / Mars
Experimental Thoth Tarot analogue: Art
Experimental rune analogue: Raidho

Commentary. Fire, Air, and Water agree while Earth remains at a threshold. The fork is a practical choice after purpose and feeling have become clear.

Alternate identities: The Stirring Corpse, The Returned Thing, Ashen Feet
Keywords: recurrence, dormant consequence, first movement, unfinished business

Alternate identities: The Shaking Spear, The Unsteady Hand, The Divided Charge

Experimental Sephirah resonance: Geburah
Experimental Hermetic path resonance: Heh — Chokmah–Tiphareth

Experimental rune analogue: Tiwaz (or Anglo-Saxon Gar)

Commentary. Will, reason, and action are expressed while feeling is still moving. The spear is committed, but the hand holding it is unsettled.

Alternate identities: The Crossroads, The Branching Gate, The Four Exits

Experimental Sephirah resonance: Tiphareth
Experimental Hermetic path resonance: Kaph — Chesed–Netzach

Experimental rune analogue: Perthro

Commentary. Fire and Air are manifest; Water and Earth can each resolve in more than one direction. The four gates show a genuine branching structure.

Experimental rune analogue: Tiwaz (or Anglo-Saxon Gar)

Experimental Thoth Tarot analogue: Art
Experimental rune analogue: Laguz

Commentary. Intention and reasoning are expressed, feeling is withheld, and action is poised. The bow holds force without release.

Experimental zodiac / planetary analogue: Cancer / Moon
Experimental Thoth Tarot analogue: The Magus
Experimental rune analogue: Ansuz

Commentary. Will, feeling, and action are manifest while interpretation changes. The open mouth gives experience public force before meaning settles.

Experimental rune analogue: Isa

Commentary. Air alone is liminal. A new interpretation is forming behind closed doors while intention, feeling, and action remain latent.

Divinatory meaning. Withdrawal offers space to reconsider a story. It can protect discernment or become avoidance; look for evidence that private thought is eventually clarifying something.
