NOTE:  Now that we've moved up the the Tree through the spheres of Malkuth, Yesod and Hod take a look at the color attributions of the spheres through the 4 worlds. There is an interesting pattern and cross relationship that carries through with the thought that the Tree occurs simultaneously in multiple replications of itself within each of the spheres. 

In the Assiac world yellow and Gold run through each of the spheres thus far. And at the level of Atziluth, Malkuth and Netzach share a base of yellow (amber is yellow and brown) and Yesod and Hod each have a deep red undertone - Indigo being red and blue and violet purple being red, blue and a touch of yellow in base. See how many cross connections you can make...

Atziluth – the Creative Urge 

The Supreme Lord of Life

Deity of Beauty and  Love

  Egyptian: Hathor- Lady of Music, the Arts and Love

Greek - Aphrodite - Goddess of Love  

In the sphere of Hod,  Atziluth is exemplified in the archetypical energy of those deity who provide the the essence of thought and idea in its most pure and abstract sense.  To balance and refine this purer thought, Netzach offers the place of the Orphic Path.  Intellect without the balance and containment of emotion seeds the potential for dogma and irreverence and disregard for the human aspects and needs. This aspect of creative urge fosters the yearning and desire for union of the mind and the heart at a mid point where each is fed and nurtured by the other and the downpour of manifest progeny can begin.

As exemplified by the Aphrodite, love is the basis of all creation. It is in love that the Divine split in the polarized outpour of male and female, mind and heart. It is love that the we find the elements needed to soar above our own limited personality and it is love that if mind or rationale and heart or feeling are co-joined and working collaboratively that we bring the highest form of this combined effort into being. 

 Briah – Creation of a Concept- Archangel

Archangel Haniel

"Glory of God"

The Archangel Haniel is associated with lunar energies and our natural instincts, passions and creative urge. Haniels' work is to bring us to the place of recognizing our own beauty and divinity within. This is the lesson of the ehart and the balance of duality through polarization. This occurs. with the work of synthesis between the Hod and Netzach, mind and heart. As the greater light and beauty is revealed than we see more clearly the place we have as manifest reflections of the Gods and Goddesses. Healing is also one of the attributes of Haniel. Healing at the level of transforming what was cut away by the sword of Michael in the sphere of Hod.

Yetzirah – Forming the Image of the concept

Angels – Elohim - Gods

Netzach is the life force that gives essence to what would otherwise be only lifeless form and reason. With Netzach's energy of the Elohim - the Gods who sired the progeny of the Beni Elohim (sons of the Gods )-  working in conjunction with and natural emanation into the pure intellect of Hod , thought now has a "reason" to come to life.  "All of these "children", however, are the result of the polarizing effects of the union of male and female energy constructs. These are Divine thoughtforms, born of polarized Divine consciousness that have come down to a place of being more readily available to the expanded human consciousness."

This life force is the result of the multiple paths or facets of expression in Netzach of the One source of Divinity. This Singular Source has within this sphere moved to an expression through the many and varied Gods. At this level the One has become many. With this thought comes the opportunity for multiple levels of connection to this sphere. Each facet is unique and highly specialized in its energy, and because of this the energies of emotion and feeling must be utilized as the selective and driving urge towards union.

 Assiah – The World of Expression-Planetary

Venus

Nogah

The planet Venus was called phosphorus by the Greeks which means "Lightbearer" and Nogah in Hebrew which means "The Shiner". Venus shines most brightly in the sky in the morning. In the Assiatic World, Netzach is the light that illuminates and refines the mind stream of Hod. Enlivening and empowering it to reach its fullest potential of  expression. Just as Venus is at its brightest at the beginning of the day, Netzach is the first impulse and place of outpour towards the illumined mind. It is both the light that shines at the beginning of the ascent up the Tree- having drawn the energies of pure thought from Hod towards un-manifest form and just before the carefully constructed mind of ideas on the descent downward towards the filtering energies of Yesod.
