Creative Lords

The seven entities known as "CREATIVE LORDS" were key figures in the Mysteries, representing the Elohim to the Jews and the Builders to the Egyptians. They played a essential part in the creation of the inferior spheres by carving the universe from primordial substance, employing what was referred to as great knives. This process involved transforming the unformed material of the universe into structured cosmic spheres, demonstrating their immense power and skill within the domain of cosmic construction.

II. Colors & Tetractys

The Tetractys, an entity deeply rooted in Greek philosophy, symbolizes the profound correspondences between color, music, and the cosmos. This entity represents the theories of the ancient Greeks, encapsulating their understanding of the universe's creation from the white light of the Supreme Deity. In this context, both the Tetractys and the associated colors signify the extraction and manifestation of the spectrum of light within the framework of the cosmos. The colors within the Tetractys are specifically tied to the theory that these hues and tones stem from the white light of the Supreme Deity, reflecting the Greeks' belief in the harmonious relationship between light and music in the divine creation. Thus, the Tetractys serves as a visual and conceptual bridge between the divine, the physical world, and the artistic expressions of ancient Greek culture.
