 The Sword & Serpent

The colors of the Minutum Mundum are also the key to those which compose the Sword and Serpent; and thus by
their aid it may be the better examined and comprehended. The one is ascending, the other is descending; the one is
fixed, the other is volatile; the one unites the Sephiroth, the other the Paths. Furthermore, in the Serpent of Wisdom
is shown the ascending Spiral, and in the Sword the rush of the descending White Brilliance from beyond Kether, dif-
ferentiated into various shades and colors, darkening more and more as they near Malkuth.
