Sathariel



Sathariel (Hebrew סתריאל) is one of the Qliphoth, corresponding to the SephirotBinah on the kabbalistic tree of life. It represents the Concealment of God, which hides the face of Mercy. The form of the demons attached to this Qliphah are of black veiled heads with horns, with hideous eyes seen through the veil, followed by evil centaurs.

The Qliphoth are the shadow of the Sephirot, the chaotic force that exists when the Sephirah is unbalanced. Binah is the Sephirah that gives birth to form, the great mother of the cosmos, the eternal womb. Through her, the spiritual energy of Keter and Chokmah are woven into the matrix that eventually becomes matter. But when this force is unbalanced, then the spiritual principle is hidden, matter is taken to be simply matter, and is not understood to be simply condensed energy, which is crudified spirit. Binah, the giver of form, becomes Sathariel, the concealer of spirit.

"Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and consciencious stupidity."

Martin Luther King, Jr

"What else is woman but a foe to friendship, an unescapable punishment, a necessary evil, a natural temptation, a desirable calamity, a domestic danger, a delectable detriment, an evil of nature, painted with fair colours."

"It should be noted that there was a defect in the formation of the first woman, since she was formed from a bent rib, that is, a rib of the breast, which is bent as it were in a contrary direction to man. And since through this defect she is an imperfect animal, she always deceives".

"(When Eve answered the serpent) she showed that she doubted and had little faith in the word of God. All this is indicated by the etymology of the word; for Femina (Latin for "woman") comes from Fe (=faith) and Minus (=less) since she is ever weaker to hold and preserve the faith".

This position has two distinct effects, and you may experience one or the other. The first of these effects is a definite problem in getting along with people at close range. The problem is that you think of a relationship as a responsibility that has very few compensating pleasures. Even though you feel quite lonely at times, you prefer to be alone.

If you experience the other effect of this placement, you still view relationships as a responsibility, but that only makes you more conscientious about living up to your end of the bargain rather than fearful of entering into one. Also you are careful to choose partners who are worth your while, people who can do something for you or teach you something. Thus you often prefer to be with older people.

Let the mad poets say whate'er they please
Of the sweets of Fairies, Peris, Goddesses,
There is not such a treat among them all,
Haunters of cavern, lake, and waterfall,
As a real woman, lineal indeed

Keats

A shy person, you prefer to stay in the background if possible; in fact, you like to hide.
You have more compassion for others than most young people do. You love mysteries and secrets, imagination and fantasy.

You will form your own opinions very early in life, although you will probably change them as you grow older. But you always have to be free to draw your own conclusions. If someone tries to limit your thinking or keep you from thinking about certain ideas, you will be even more attracted by those forbidden ideas.

As you go through life you will be in touch with your own and other people's inner feelings and psychological currents. Your rational mind is more influenced than most by feelings and intuitions, which will deepen your understanding of the world. It will take time before your ability to express yourself catches up with what you already know intuitively.

You will use your mind to help you understand human nature. You are a natural psychologist, and you will be able to communicate your ideas to others through speaking or writing.
You will spend much time planning and arranging your future in your head. Instead of falling into a career by accident, you will work out everything you must do to get where you want to go.

The Goat is the eighth Sign of the Chinese Zodiac, and is a Yin Sign associated with the Fire Element. Goats are genuinely nice people -- charming, amiable, and sympathetic to the needs of others. They hate to criticize and always look for the best in people, including themselves.

A Goat will prefer to forget grievances rather than brood over them and will keep any resentment tightly under control in order maintain peace and prosperity among the group. Goats live in the present, which they attempt to enjoy to the best of their abilities. Thanks to their sensitive natures, Goats are the most creative and expressive of all the Signs in the Chinese Zodiac.

Earth is a stable Element and the Goat is a stable sign. Put them both together and you have a character who needs their pulse taken every five minutes to be sure their heart is still beating. The Earth Goat is patience incarnate. You know this and prefer to make use of it by playing a waiting game. Eventually you'll be the last one standing, by default, as your enemies fail to maintain concentration.

Let early life snafus be forgotten; all will be righted the older you get. You prefer quality over quantity. You may seem a bit dull until you finally meet the right person to serve as a catalyst -- someone to extract and refine the fascinating core of yourself from out of the prison of comforting routine you have constructed for yourself to survive life within.

People born under the year of the Goat/Sheep tend to take on the role of the "good Samaritan". The Sheep is the most feminine sign of all of the Chinese animals. Usually they are very good-natured, genuine, timid and bashful, which can sometimes lead to them being taken 'for a ride' by others. Some of their other traits include: being overwhelmed by their emotions, a tendency to become somewhat negative, gloomy and introvert. They are natural born worriers who will always predict and expect the worst. They especially loathe criticism and regulation and sometimes find it difficult to maintain an objective view on things. However they are kindhearted, mild, understanding and very forgiving. They would rather be in a huff than come to blows. On the whole people tend to "care deeply" for them and they will always have the things that they require in life. They have an enduring personality that prefers not to disclose troubles unless really forced to. Sheep people deny themselves nothing and are "hopeless romantics".

The Goat year is one that will be a time for caring, bringing out creative talent, imagination and emotion, whilst remaining, calm, smooth and slow. "Harmony with moderation" are the key words with a warning about the danger of negativity.

The Moon in the First House.

The Moon in the First House can give a "moony" appearance, with a round face, full bright eyes and a dreamy expression. They may look like their mothers, and have many of the same attitudes. Like the Moon, they tend to be very visible sometimes, and fade into the background at other times.

How wrong it is for a woman to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than to create it herself.

Once upon a sunny morning a man who sat in a breakfast nook looked up from his scrambled eggs to see a white unicorn with a golden horn quietly cropping the roses in the garden. The man went up to the bedroom where his wife was still asleep and woke her. "There's a unicorn in the garden," he said. "Eating roses." She opened one unfriendly eye and looked at him. "The unicorn is a mythical beast," she said, and turned her back on him. The man walked slowly downstairs and out into the garden. The unicorn was still there; he was now browsing among the tulips. "Here, unicorn," said the man and pulled up a lily and gave it to him. The unicorn ate it gravely. With a high heart, because there was a unicorn in his garden, the man went upstairs and roused his wife again. "The unicorn," he said, "ate a lily." His wife sat up in bed and looked at him, coldly. "You are a booby," she said, "and I am going to have you put in a booby-hatch." The man, who never liked the words "booby" and "booby-hatch," and who liked them even less on a shining morning when there was a unicorn in the garden, thought for a moment. "We'll see about that," he said. He walked over to the door. "He has a golden horn in the middle of his forehead," he told her. Then he went back to the garden to watch the unicorn; but the unicorn had gone away. The man sat among the roses and went to sleep.

And as soon as the husband had gone out of the house, the wife got up and dressed as fast as she could. She was very excited and there was a gloat in her eye. She telephoned the police and she telephoned the psychiatrist; she told them to hurry to her house and bring a strait-jacket. When the police and the psychiatrist looked at her with great interest. "My husband," she said, "saw a unicorn this morning." The police looked at the psychiatrist and the psychiatrist looked at the police. "He told me it ate a lily," she said. The psychiatrist looked at the police and the police looked at the psychiatrist. "He told me it had a golden horn in the middle of its forehead," she said. At a solemn signal from the signal from the psychiatrist, the police leaped from their chairs and seized the wife. They had a hard time subduing her, for she put up a terrific struggle, but they finally subdued her. Just as they got her into the strait-jacket, the husband came back into the house.

"Did you tell your wife you saw a unicorn?" asked the police. "Of course not," said the husband. "The unicorn is a mythical beast." "That's all I wanted to know," said the psychiatrist. "Take her away. I'm sorry, sir, but your wife is as crazy as a jay bird." So they took her away, cursing and screaming, and shut her up in an institution. The husband lived happily ever after.

Moral: Don't count your boobies until they are hatched.

"We are so vain that we even care for the opinion of those we don't care for.”
