Notes
These tables of correspondences are intended to correct misunderstandings of the significance of theI formula that have become common through the wide distribution of the Golden Dawn material. Whil ai within a limited area of application, the G.D. interpretations distort and obscure the relevaceofth formula in a wider context of human life, and obscure its essential richness. The thematicsimlartie shown between four traditional myth systems and several modern myths should provide thereadr wih a etter understanding of its true meaning.
The INRI formula is an "elemental" formula in that its four letters can be validly equated to Earth,er, Fire, and Air. Unlike IHVH, however, the astrological representation of the elements through h ied signs, and their planetary rulers and exaltations, is of as great a significance as the actviy f he pure elements. True appreciation of the formula comes through a comprehension of the comple dace f resonances between these three groups of powers.
The sequences in which the elements appear can be considered as initiatory and creative sequences, aposed to the natural or demiurgic sequence of IHVH. Its area of application is specifically to th xeiences and behaviors of conscious beings, both individual and group. Within its area of referece te onditions it symbolizes appear almost universally.
The formula has four valid forms:
1. I1 N R I2
2. I1 R N I2
3. I2 N R I1
4. I2 R N I1
Which can manifest in one of three modes:
1. Cyclically - as a series of repeating or seasonal events.
2. Progressively - as a series of steps leading to a goal.
3. Statically - as a group of factors present simultaneously, acting either independently or in a stof tension with each other.
And each of the twelve types of appearance thus generated can express itself
1. Vertically - describing relationships between different planes of the Tree of Life.
2. Horizontally - describing relationships existing within any one plane or sephira of the Tree.
Thus there are a total of twenty-four possible manifestations of the formula. Twelve of these (basedthe two latter forms listed) are incarnational or creative expressions, dealing with the ways in hc deas become manifested in matter. The other twelve are evolutionary or initiatory formulas, delig it the way in which material beings are transformed into spirit. These latter are those that pper mst requently in human experience, social behavior, and literature.
The first three columns show the fundamental attributes, on which the interpretation of all the othelumns is based. The parenthesized alternate attributes in columns II and III are more appropriatewe pplying the formula to the personality or character of men and women. The standard attributes n hoe olumns are more suitable when the formula is used to describe the path of initiation.
Taurus and Aquarius are substituted as attributes of the two I's in order to make the formula more ecit, and to reflect the way in which the formula actually works out in practice. The original attiue Virgo, is appropriate to both Earth and Air because the sign itself is Earthy while its rulerMecuy s Airy. And there is no doubt that both in gematria and as a visual image, INRI has more inlusve esoances than any alternate symbolization I have found.
The relation of INRI to various Twin myths is covered in some detail in another paper, Set / Horus.
In magickal work, the attributes of the letters with respect to minerals, plants, animals, perfumes,. should follow the zodiacal or planetary attributes of columns II and III rather than the ele metlatributes.
Columns IV, V, XI, XII, XIII, XIV, XV, XIX, XX, XXI, XIV
The Ritual of the King
(Vertical, progressive)
The Ritual of the Dead and Resurrected King is the oldest and most frequently seen version of the INormula. Archaeological and anthropological evidence shows that it has existed substantially un chne ince at least the late neolithic period. Columns IV and V provide the basic framework of the Rtul.Th relation of the Ritual to INRI has perhaps been obscured by the fact that the Ritual follows for (IRNI2) of the formula, while the formula itself (owing to its appearance in the Christian Bible spopuarly presented as form 1. The relationship is further obscured because the formula can be apledto th Tree of Life in two different ways, one of which is a subset of the other:
Lesser Formula
Greater Formula
I1
Malkuth
Triangle bounded by Malkuth, Hod, & Netzach
N
Yesod

R
Hod & Netzach
Golden Rectangle bounded by Hod, Netzach, Geburah and Chesed (centered on Tiphereth)
I2
Tiphereth
Triangle bounded by Kether, Chokmah, Binah
Most of the columns dealt with here follow the more inclusive of these two attributes, but each alsows a few elements of the less inclusive form. In each case, the transformation from the Growth stg othe Kingship stage involves an exposure to death or some other factor appropriate to Scorpio. ilamsh King Arthur and Paul Atreides are stimulated to become rulers by the deaths of their fathes. esu cofronts the Devil in the Wilderness, as does Paul Atreides while fleeing his father's murerer.
However, it is important to note that the person undergoing the Ritual does not experience death him at this stage. He remains relatively uninvolved in the event. His own experience of Death never oe ntil after the Kingship stage.
Column XV (Hal Mayne's Voyage) is an exception to this rule in that the events shown represent the ss of the less inclusive form, passing from Malkuth only as far as Tiphereth. At the end of The Fia nyclopedia, he becomes the solar King by assuming the Directorship of the Encyclopedia. The tru Soriostage of the more inclusive form begins in the next book (The Chantry Guild) with his withdawa frm te Directorship and retreat into the intense self-delving typical of the sign. It ends wih a elf-ille death, followed by a true resurrection which passes him into the final divine, airy,stage
Also note that Hal Mayne is just one incarnation of a being who has a total of four incarnations witthe Dorsai mythos. Each of these incarnations is also attributable to INRI (col. XIV), and their re ollows the usual sequence of Growth/Preparation - Kingship - Death - Resurrection/Illumination
Column VI. -- Archetypal Humans
(Horizontal, static)
In Western culture, dramas and stories of any genre typically have primary characters based on thesehetypes. Socially, the roles expected of us as men and women also follow the same pattern. But inti atter case the archetypes have become stereotypes, since the forms are demanded without compreenio o their mythical foundation.
The archetypes themselves reflect the two zodiacal axes of Taurus-Scorpio and Aries-Libra.
I1 - Woman as Life-giver and Lover relates to Taurus, ruled by Venus, the planet of female sexualityth Luna, the planet of birth and nurturing, exalted.
N - The Man-Who-Dies is the Tester or Questioner, the one who does not accept what is normally take truth without testing it himself. As such he is an object of fear to most people, who are happie ihcomfortable lies than uncomfortable truths, and is characterized as a devil, rebel, or dan gerusheetc of one sort or another. His testing of accepted norms usually brings him into a position her hefins himself working to bring about change in the status quo so that new growth can occur, r toresit th excesses of an entrenched power. Normally he ends up being killed, imprisoned or othrwisepunised bythe guardians of the status quo. He relates to Scor pio as the sign of testing anddeath,to itsrulingplanet Mars and exalted planet Uranus as bringer of sudden change.
R - The Man-Who-Lives is the Solar Hero. As protagonist or opponent, his goals are to achieve a posn of rulership and to either preserve the status quo, or twist the status quo to his own advantag.H s charismatic and depends on his projected image to gain him support from the public. When nota urlyLeonian charismatic he follows the pattern of Aries, sign of the warrior-kings, which is sef-ealttio (=Sol, exalted planet) through the use of force (= Mars, ruling planet).
I2 - The Wise-Woman and the Woman-Who-Judges or Crone follow the traits of Libra, sign of judgment, Venus again ruling, but with Saturn (traditionally the planet of wisdom) exalted. Saturn is actual he planet of accumulated knowledge handed down from the past.
The Enlightened One of either sex follows the pattern of Aquarius. Having used the power of Uranus iorpio to break out of the mold of the past, he/she uses the same power as it rules Aquarius to cla wy the debris left by the breakout, leaving a clean slate on which knowledge of a new way of dongthng (=Mercury, exalted in Aquarius) can be written.
Column VII. -- Egyptian Gods
The gods shown here are actually two different sets. The first, comprising Isis, Set, Horus the Eldend Nepthys, are the original children of Seb and Nut, the fourfold product of the joining of Mat e n Spirit. The second set, comprising Isis, Set, Horus-son-of-Osiris, and Thoth, are from a late sag i the development of Egyptian mythologies, and show the influence of the agricultural themesof olun I. See the paper Set / Horus for a detailed treatment of the symbolism of these gods.
Column VIII & XI -- Gilgamesh Characters
(Horizontal, static)
(Some of the characters listed do not appear in the original version of the Epic of Gilgamesh, but ar in later re-tellings in the Asian Moslem cultures of the medieval period.)
I1 - Inanna as the Mother Goddess is attributed to Earth. Lilith represents the more "earthy" of Herributes. Lilith is unnamed but present in the Gilgamesh story as the priestess who uses her charm oatract Enkidu away from his wild life and into human civilization.
This dual manifestation of the Mother is typical of Late Stone Age and Bronze Age Goddess-religions. worship of Inanna is one of the earliest about which we have much information. Later manifestatin olow the same themes. The high priestess (also called Inanna) represented the more ethereal aspct o te Goddess, while a second priestess called Lilith was responsible for attracting men to thetemle o prticipate in the conjugal rites of the Goddess, thus representing Her more "earthy" aspet. I Canan te Liliths were so effective in converting the Hebrews to Goddess-worship that the Levtes culd oly conter them by conditioning their subjects from childhood to the idea that the Lilits werereallyarch-dmonesses.
N - Enkidu, like Merlin, is a Wild Man of the Woods, and the Man-Who-Dies, both appropriate to Scor
R - Gilgamesh as King, and as the Man-Who-Lives, is fitting to Sol.
I2 - Inanna as the most spiritualized manifestation of the Goddess is appropriate to Air.
Column IX. -- Arthurian Characters
(Horizontal, static)
The entire Arthurian mythos reveals the strange dual character of the English people of its time. On hand the rulers adopt the patristic customs of their Roman conquerors, including the last and motfdish of Roman exports, orthodox Christianity and "divine right of Kings". On the other hand, th cmmn olk continue to be steeped in the traditions of the Old Religion and of their Celtic predecssos, ithemphasis on nature, the Divine Mother, and the quasi-shamanistic view of the nobility an divnityof idividuals.
Merlin and Viviane/Niniane represent the persistent presence of the Mother Goddess, while Lancelot auenivere represent the patristic side of the conflict. As child of a Roman father and Celtic mothr rhur supposedly represents the union of the two conflicting camps with his kingship joining the ate te manner of the Solar aspect of the R of INRI.
I1 - Again we see the dual manifestation typical of the Goddess-religions. "Viviane" means "full of ", making her a direct correspondence to the fertile Mother of the Old Religion. Her characteristc ssorceress and fertility-figure are the characteristics commonly attributed to the goddess unde hr or "earthy" aspect.
Niniane (who may or may not be the same person) was "Lady of the Lake", priestess of the Isle of Glathe last operating temple of the Goddess in Britain. In some interpretations, "Niniane" means "fulo race". She represents the ethereal, airy aspect of the Goddess.
N - Being the "child of a maiden and a demon" Merlin clearly belongs to the Taurus-Scorpio axis. Hisickal abilities place him at the Scorpio pole, as do the frequent accusations that he was a demonhmef, and his association with Vortigern's dragons in his youth.
The legendary circumstances of Merlin's disappearance reveal strange echoes of the old rites of the ess. His "besotment" with Viviane is typical of a magician working to unite with the God dess thruhhr earthly representative through some sort of tantric work. The "trance" into which she placesMeli i a typical result of such work. The final image of Merlin buried in the cave could reflect he antic ractice of concentrating the consciousness in the penis within the womb of one's partner whih wob isvisualized as the womb of the Goddess. Since sex magick is at least partially conneced tothe sgn ofScorpio, such work is wholly appropriate to Mer lin's attribution to that sign.
R - Arthur as King clearly corresponds to the "R" of INRI as that letter relates to Sol. Lancelot reents the zodiacal relation of the letter to the sign Aries, sign of warriors in general and warrirnblity in particular. He complements the character of Guenivere, who represents Libra.
I2 - The name Guenivere comes from a Celtic word meaning "white shadow", which was also a name for tarn owl. The owl being a night-hunting bird, she equates to the Lady of Night, Nepthys (and pos sbywth Saturnian Minerva). Note also that Guenivere was presumed to be sterile since she could notgie rtur a child, making her the opposite of the "full of life" Viviane, and showing the "steriliy" f wmens lives under the patristic Christian regimen in contrast to the full ness of their live in oddes-doinated areas. Her inability to choose between Arthur and Lancelot is typically Libran
Column X. -- The Beatles
(Horizontal, static)
The Beatles present a very pure expression of INRI operating as a horizontal, static formula. Study he images presented by their publicists during the group's existence is very revealing. Just a fe ueficial points are touched here.
I1 - Ringo's character is very earthy and "common" in the English sense of the word. At one point, hid that his greatest ambition in life was to own a beauty shop (= Taurus, ruled by Venus, Moon exle)
N - John being the dead Beatle, his association with Scorpio is obvious. But even during his life hehibited the characteristics of rebelliousness and seeking of intense experience typical of the sin
R - Baby-faced Paul's charismatic effect on audiences, and his evident willingness to do anything thill keep him in the limelight, are typically Leonian.
I2 - George the "spiritual" Beatle, given to interest in mysticism, philosophy, meditation, etc., ispropriately attributed to air.
Note that as in INRI, the earthy and airy members of the group tended to be somewhat in the back gro while the main public attention rested on the fiery and watery personalities.
Column XI. -- Life of Gilgamesh
(Vertical, progressive)
Gilgamesh's path of initiation follows the typical stages:
I1 - Childhood, training, and preparation for Kingship at a foreign court.
R - Return and assumption of Kingship.
N - Abandonment of Kingship and wandering in the Wilderness. Diving into the sea (= the Abyss) and ly drowning in the attempt to reach the Pearl of Immortality.
I2 - Finding of the Pearl of Immortality. Unlike most instances of the formula, Gilgamesh loses the s of physical immortality almost as soon as he achieves it. The Pearl is swallowed by a serpent, h ared animal of the Goddess. Possibly this loss in due to his neglect of or poor relations with heGodes's representative.
Columns XII, XIII -- Lives of Christ and King Arthur
The relation of these characters to the symbolic journey of column V has been dealt with by many reshers in the past, and need not be repeated here, except to note their similarity to the other INR yh presented here. Readers are referred to the works of Joseph Campbell for a recent detailed traten.
Column XIV -- Dorsai #1 Time's Soldier
(Vertical, progressive)
We can assume that at least some of the INRI - related symbolism in Gordon R. Dickson's Dorsai novel deliberate. The author has frequently referred to an archetypal pattern he was attempting to expesi the series. The published delineations of this pattern that I have seen appear to be a statemntofth pattern described earlier, but in terms more suited to a student of literature than those f acablis. The precise ratio of conscious to unconscious use of the formula remains open to queston.
Donal Graeme, Paul Formain, and Hal Mayne are all incarnations of the same being, gradually evolvingr the course of several books, while attempting to resolve a crisis in the race-soul of humanity.Ceu Graeme and Sir John Hawkwood (who may be another Hal Mayne incarnation) de fine the environmet n hih this evolution takes place. (Note that much of the significance of the earlier incarnatios i no reealed until the appearance of Hal Mayne.)
I1 Cletus Graeme's work is the foundation on which Donal Graeme builds his kingship over the known ds of the Dorsai universe.
Sir John Hawkwood's actions were the root of the historical situation being worked out by the race- through Hal Mayne and Bleys Ahrens. (Column XVIII)
R Donal Graeme is the archetypal warrior-king. Like Genghis Khan, he created peace in his world throthe creative use of force. But he realized that his achievement was transitory, and that the peac ol fall apart with his own death. He decided to travel back in time, not to change events, but t cane eople's perception of events in such a way that the unity of the worlds would continue.
N Donal Graeme travels back in time and incarnates in the body of a mining engineer, Paul Formain, wied by drowning. In the course of achieving his goal, he has a death experience and exper iences h drk night of the soul" generated by Walter Blunt's cabal. After "crossing the Abyss" through thseexerences, he realizes that his efforts have produced precisely the opposite of the effect he ws itening The unity of the worlds will continue, but under circumstances that will ultimately mea thedeat of he human race. Instead of alleviating the conflict in the race-soul, he has brought i to ahead n hisown future era.
I2 In order to make himself able to resolve the conflict, Donal has to discard all that he has become must, in Crowley's words, give "every drop of blood into the cup of Babalon", or, following theCrsian parlance he must "become as a little child". He does this literally, regressing his body t ifacyand erasing his memories so that he can grow again without the influence of his past lives.Gron aainas Hal Mayne, he possesses the abilities and knowledge to bring the con flict to an end.
Columns XVII -- Dorsai #4 Planetary Character
(Horizontal, static)
Throughout the Dorsai mythos, the action tends to center on the planets listed here, or on the actiof persons from these planets. They are intended to be archetypes of certain highly developed as pcso the human race-soul. The remaining planets of the Dorsai universe are "splinter" cultures, incaabe f sustaining themselves except in contact with the cultures of one or more of these planets
I1 - In the Dorsai universe, the planet Earth, like the element, is treated as the repository the paf the race, both culturally and genetically. Its people stubbornly follow their own ways despite h rssures and influences of the younger worlds. In the Hal Mayne sections of the myth, it re-absobsth mst valuable and worthy aspects of the younger worlds, as the element Earth absorbs the actiityof he ther elements and transforms them into a stable form. Finally, Hal raises the protectiveshied arund t, turning it into the fortress or four-walled castle (Caer Benoic) in which the grai is t be peservd.
N - The two Friendly worlds are expressions of the power of Faith, which is watery in nature. This it the submissive Faith typical of the sign Cancer, but an intense, individualistic, combative faih ef-instilled and self-maintained, following the character of Scorpio with Mars ruling and Uranu ealed
R - Dorsai produces the ultimate warrior-kings, Cletus and Donal Graeme. The planet itself possessesolitical and social system in which each man effectively rules himself and no man rules another, nwih all men and women are Kings of their own kingdoms.
I2 - The Exotics emphasize the exploration and development of the mind, hence their airy attribute.
Column XVIII - Dorsai #5 Hal's Women
Each of the women listed presents an archetype of the character of her respective planet.
Column XIX. - The Atreides Men
(Vertical, cyclic)
I1 Paul's grandfather died after being gored by a bull. (Taurus)
R Leto I, Paul's father, was a warrior-king.(Leo)
N Paul Muad-Dib became a seer and magician through the use of poisonous spice-essence from the Sandw He also relates to Scorpio because he is the ultimate product of a centuries-long ser ies of exprmns in breeding and genetic manipulation.
I2 Leto II, the God-Emperor, united himself with the spirit of the Worm.(Aquarius)
Leto II is present in his spiritual form (as a "Spark of Awareness" in the sandworms) in the last tooks of the series despite his death in the third-to-last (God-Emperor of Dune). His spirit contiust control events in his universe until all but one of the worms are killed at the end of Heretis f un. At the end of Chapterhouse: Dune the priestess Sheena (= Inanna, Earth God dess) disappeas ito he reater universe in a ship containing both sandworms and clone-cells of all the major actrs i allof te Dune novels, implying that the entire cycle will now begin again somewhere else.
Column XX. -- Life of Paul Muad-Dib
(Vertical, progressive)
Paul Atreides stands out among the questers listed as the only example of a man who fails in the queLike Lancelot, he is unable to withstand the power of the grail, and it become the task of his so oacomplish the task at which he fails. (Note also that his actions in the Solar stage create cone uece that can only be solved from a higher level, as was the case in column XIV.)
I1 - Trained as a typical ruling-class child, Paul is forced to flee to the desert when his father illed and his kingdom taken over by a usurper. He is found by the desert dwellers, adopted into thi oiety, and trained in their ways of survival and war.
R - By taking the poisonous spice-essence Paul acquires magickal powers, becoming the Savior-King oe desert dwellers. He uses his powers and the military force of his Fremen followers to overcome h srper and take back his kingdom. But he soon discovers the dark side of Kingship, which is thatth Kngbecomes the prisoner of the forces he has coordinated and concentrated.
N - Paul's oracular vision shows him the horrors that will result from the working of the forces he set in motion, but it also leaves him unable to either disengage from those forces or to take th n tep that would prevent the evil from happening. Blinded and with his personal life in ruins, h wlk of into the desert to die. But he returns in the guise of the rebellious blind prophet, preahin agins the religion founded in his name. When finally aware that his son has achieved what he imsef di notdare, he sacrifices himself in one last act of rebellion against the status quo.
I2 - Paul continues to exist in the genetic "other memory" of his son Leto II, but only as a will-lehost of the past.
Column XXII. -- Dune Organizations
(Horizontal, static)
I1 CHOAM, a purely mercantile organization, is appropriate to the sign of Taurus.
Leto II's empire is a deliberately-created peasant economy.
N The Bene Gesserit and Bene Tleilax both relate to Scorpio through their intense involvement in gen manipulation and their incorporation of "past lives" into present-day experience. Addi tionally h ee Gesserit relate to Scorpio through their instrument of initiation: poisoned spice-essence frm heSadworm.
The various ranks of the Bene Gesserit follow the AGLA formula, a feminine complement to INRI:
A1 - Acolyte stage. Air representing the innocence of the virgin.
G - Breeding Mistresses. Luna as planet of reproduction and motherhood.
L - Reverend Mothers. Acting in a state of perpetual judgment upon each other. Government based on all-powerful jury. Taking responsibility for balancing the consequences of the past ac tions of terc, due to the demands of "other memory".
A2 - "Other memory". Air as the guiding spiritual purpose of the Reverend Mothers.
R The Landsraad and Padishah Emperor are typical noble classes, appropriate to Sol and Leo.
I2 The high-tech foundation of these two organizations is appropriate to Aquarius and the element of.
Column XXIII. -- Vita Merlini Characters
I1 - Guendolena, Merlin's wife, is an utterly sexual and loving woman, expressing the more earthy ass of the Goddess.
R - King Rhydderch is the archetypal Good King.
Taliesen the Bard expresses the focus of all knowledge and wisdom in the sphere of Art.
N - The greater part of Vita Merlini concentrates on the Scorpio stage of Merlin's life, the detail which are best studied in the original. As madman, Wild Man of the Woods, and sacrificial King-Sa eechoes the roles of Enkidu and the sacrificed Christ.
I2 - The three women listed as well as several others in Vita Merlini represent the Goddess in her methereal form, as source of wisdom, inspiration, and guidance.
Column XXIV. -- Life of Merlin
Merlin follows the typical stages shown in column V, but with a decidedly Celtic aspect. Readers areerred to R.J. Stewart's The Mystic Life of Merlin for an examination of the details of these stagsa hown in Vita Merlini. While his examination is sometimes marred by an insistence on the super ortyofthe Christian revelation, the correspondences he draws are usually right on the mark.

Columns XXV, XXVI -- The Chakras
The attributes in column XXV are certain, those in column XXVI less so. The upper chakras do not lenemselves as well to elemental attributes. Their functions seem in most cases to be mixtures of th ulties of two or more elements. However, some writers, notably Alice Bailey and the theosophists sres fourfold involvement with respect to these centers. The parenthesized attributes in columnXXV folowthis latter idea.
The Anahata center as earth is suggested by it cabalistic correspondence to Tiphereth, which acts ashannel by which energies from the lower planes pass upward, and vice versa. Using Manipura for Eat olows an idea which is emphasized repeatedly in Bailey's works, i.e. that when the upper center bcoe ctive, the functions of the lower centers are gradually absorbed into the solar plexus chaka.
Very little connects Visuddha with the watery member of IRNI, save its its place in the sequence of ras. It's connection with voice and communication suggests rather an airy attribute.
Ajna as the fiery member of the upper sequence is suggested by its connection with sight and light, latter being physically and literally a higher vibration of the heat energy connected with the soa lxus. The alternate attribute of Anahata comes again from its solar correspondence in the Tree f if.
In column XXV, Anahata is considered airy both from a cabalistic standpoint and as the representativ "spiritus" with respect to the lower planes. The spleen center is connected with air through itsfnton in the absorbtion and distribution of prana.
In column XXVI, Sahasrara is airy due to its connection with thought, its cabalistic correspondence iry Kether, and through its function as the primary entry-point of "spirit", energies from higherlvl, into the human body. In Bailey, the Ajna center is often treated as a subsidiary center of heSaasara, whose functions can be wholly or partially taken over by the latter.
Note that rebels and revolutionaries as such are not necessarily attributed to this letter. More o than not, such persons are really just less-successful solar types who, given power, end up bein o uch different from those they overthrew. The real Scorpian type seeks a true break with the pat,no jst a change of his own position within the current social matrix.
Even with extensive propaganda, the Levites were unable to eradicate all the Goddess-derived cus t For instance, the custom of women weeping at the "Wailing Wall" in Jerusalem is a direct holdove rmthe rites of the Goddess in Her form as Ashera.
A form of Christianity had been present in Britain since early days, but in the absence of a stroniting Church it had blended with the local religions and become more than a little heretical, fro h iew of Rome. Hence Rome's effort to co-opt the followers of the local version by making all th od riish and Celtic gods into Christian "saints".
As an alternative, it might be taken as a sign that the power of the Goddess (concentrated in Her st, Merlin) had "gone underground" in response to the growing Christian persecution, being held utlcnditions were right for it to resurface.
