an accumulation of images theresa found worth collecting so far (always incomplete) without any explanations, no order
apart from this and a lot of others, Gershom Scholem (solitary scholar on the grounds of academic research of jewish mysticism) also wrote a lot about Kabbalah which i personally prefer in its elaboration, but also on colour theory and the symbolic content of art and music. Maths and the mystical interpretation of the bible.

according to wikipedia Samael Aun Weor on religion:
Colours after Aleister Crowley in his liber 777
Crowley - the stare. megalomania?
recommend the full foreword to the interested
"The Tree of Life is the skeleton on which this body of truth is built. The juxtaposition and proportion of its parts should be fully studied. Practice alone will enable the student to determine how far an analogy may be followed out. Again, some analogies may escape a superficial study. The Beetle is only connected with the sign Pisces through the Tarot Trump “The Moon.” The Camel is only connected with the High Priestess through the letter Gimel."

In Flaubert's Salammbô,
Moloch - Fallen Angel, Prince of Hell (Saturn, Cronos, Minotaur, Baal)
in the Moloch: Fire as the gate to immortality. Moloch demanding a very costly sacrifice, shame, to the false god. in the bible described as "whoring to moloch"
he is made of brass, has heated up hands (hands up!, functionally), drums are covering the screaming, the deathly grin becomes a sardonic laughter.
Flaubert also talks about three black stones with three yellow circles around them representing three eyeballs on his brow, he has wings and is covered in "the great scarlett colour"
---- in nordic mythology Odin gave up an eye in exchange for knowledge and it is hidden. after doom (ragnarök, Götterdämmerung) when the gods destroyed each other resp themselves, the appearance of Nidhogg the dragon who is bearing corpses in his wings.
in the poetic edda: voluspo (the seer's prophecy)
Deity Thetis the shape-shifter, the black mare. She immortalized her son Achill by dipping him into fire at night and rubbing him with ambrosia by day (sometimes also dipping him in the Hades) on his heel, but was discovered to do so by her mortal husband, so Achill's heel was always his weakness.
as in Cabiria (see other post about this film) there is a human pyramid on which the hero climbs the hostile wall of Carthage
feline columns of the carthagian temple

Double Axe - labyrinth - diamond shape - tomb - womb?
The eternal weaver character. deceased must thread their way through a maze drawn by the guardian ghost. each shaman has a guardian ghost as a spirit partner. (e.g. "Morphine")

banality of evil - holocaust (Arendt)
(tanit) hands up figure:

Ariadne gave Theseus the golden threat of initiation to find his way out of the maze when he went to kill the Minotaur.

Belial: another prince of hell
beli ya'al means "never to rise"
Wiki The Hebrew term beli·ya′‛al is applied to ideas, words, and counsel, to calamitous circumstances, and most frequently, to good-for-nothing men of the lowest sort—for example, men who would induce worship of other gods; those of Benjamin who committed the sex crime at Gibeah; the wicked sons of Eli; insolent Nabal; opposers of God’s anointed, David; Rehoboam’s unsteady associates; Jezebel's conspirators against Naboth; and men in general who stir up contention.

four qlipothic shells surrounding holiness / the pure (Qlipoth is the root of impurity, ascribing false dualism in the Divine, concealing the divine unity, it is a spiritual obstacle). In Ezekiel's vision they are described: "a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it..."
Qlipoth either unfolded, because the Shechinah (dwelling or settling divine presence of God) is seperated in Creation from the Sephiroth by man's sin, or because Divinity is exiled in the Qlipoth from prior initial Catastrophe in Creation.
but!!! repentance out of Love turns sin into virtue retrospectively
Samael and Lilith
Samael the black serpent who seduced Eva
Lilith who was Adam's partner
became an evil couple (representing Baphomet on which i havent read up yet, sorry)
each representing evil twins of the sephiroth in the tree of life (then tree of death, Qlipothic tree)
(Sephiroth being ten attributes surrounding the infinite, evil twins being adverse Sephiroth: ciphers, chiffres, 0 , codes - turning names' letters around to new names, for example the sephiroth Yesod who represents the vital body, uncoscious dealing with sexual expression and a lot of things, becomes gradually, by suppression, obscenity and at the complete turn is its evil twin Gamaliel.)
