Summary

Description

Typographic Cabalistic diagram numbered 1–10, with labels including Crown, Spirit, Water, Air, Celestial Fire or Light, Astral Light and Holy Temple. It forms part of the article Cabalism. The Sepher Jetzera or Book of Creation, signed Zeus, in The Spiritual Scientist, vol. IV, no. 17, 29 June 1876, printed p. 194. The article signature does not establish a separate designer of the diagram.

The diagram and its labels match the illustration within the continued article on H. P. Blavatsky's Scrapbooks, volume 1, page 162. This is part of the article, not an independently captioned engraving or a separate scrapbook clipping.
