Introduction to Primitive Cabalistic Science

There is no other means of finding the sympathy of numbers a mystical or natural correspondence between numerical values and physical reality than to concentrate them and reduce them to units—that is, from 1 to 9—as has been demonstrated here in the addition.

If one observes the numbers of each planetary character symbolic or numerical representations assigned to the planets shown on the first table and adds each one individually, one becomes aware of the progression used by the original creator of this arithmetic game to determine the sympathy of numbers in this specific way and no other.

Once the Egyptians, after many years of observation and calculation, had reached the point where they could specify the periodic orbit of the planets around the sun, their distance from the earth, the difference in their diameters, and consequently their size and solidity, they examined the weather conditions observed according to their orbits—or rather their orbital stations specific points or positions in a planet's path—in relation to the four trigons groups of three zodiac signs belonging to the same element; here used to classify the seasons of the twelve heavenly signs. They used this name to designate the four seasons.

They found that spring warms that which had grown cold;
summer ripens and dries that which grows through warming;
autumn brings decay through moisture;
winter freezes, chills, and places all into a state of inertia from the Latin 'inertia,' referring here to a state of total inactivity or physical rest in nature.
