The correspondences for the Hebrew letters are from the "Musical Qabalah" which are based on the Golden Dawn notebooks of Allen Bennett. Among Bennett's students were Dion Fortune and Aleister Crowley. Paul Foster Case applied these correspondences to form a system of invocation and healing which is still being taught by the Builders of the Adytum (BOTA).

Some
of the more unusual color names derive
from the labels on Winsor & Newton
Designer Gouche opaque water colors. That
was the brand used by the Order of the
Golden Dawn, still available. |
