Coinage elements in alchemy and Magick
For the physical and chemical properties of the elements, see, e.g., http://www.chemicalelements.com/, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_element, etc.
The coinage elements include: copper, silver, terbium, gold, berkelium, roentgenium, which are respectively associated with Venus, Luna, Earth, the Sun, the Centaurs (comets whose highly irregular orbits lie between the orbits of Jupiter and Neptune), and the spheroidal Oort Cloud of comets that surrounds the Solar System. Notice that the Z- or proton-numbers of these elements are respectively 29, 47, 65, 79, 97, and 111. These produce the following Qaballistic reductions:
29 --> 2 + 9 = 11, the number of Magick and of Uranus, ruler of Magick and liberty.
47 --> 4 + 7 = 11, the number of Magick and of Uranus, ruler of Magick and liberty.
65 --> 6 + 5 = 11, the number of Magick and of Uranus, ruler of Magick and liberty.
79 --> 7 + 9 = 16 --> 1 + 6 = 7, the number of perfection and of Venus and love.
97 --> 7 + 9 = 16 --> 1 + 6 = 7, the number of perfection and of Venus and love.
111 --> 1 + 1 + 1 = 3, a number of Luna; and 111 is also the sum of the Hebrew letters that spell out ALePh, which is associated with Atu 0, the Path connecting Sephirah 1, Kether, associated with Pluto, with Sephirah 2, associated with Neptune. Aleph is also associated with Uranus and thus with Magick and liberty.
Magick is the Art and Science of causing change in conformity with Will, and is thus the discipline of the directed and cohered exercise of the Will. Love is the foundation of all successful Magick. So these six chemical elements together represent the doctrine of Thelema: "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. Love is the law, love under Will." The number of that doctine is 93, the atomic number of neptunium, associated with Neptune, and the ordinal number (counting from helium up) of plutonium, associated with Pluto.
