CURSE

A symbol of limitation of activity through Divine laws and conditions imposed upon matter.

"Rhea (Nut) having companied with Kronos (Seb) by stealth, was discovered by Helios (Ra), who laid a curse upon her, that she should not be delivered in any month or year." - PLUTARCH, Isis and Osiris, § 12.

Space (Nut) and Time (Seb), implying Form and Number, are rendered apparent through the forthpouring action of the Logos (Ra). The curse is a symbol of limitation of matter in time and space, for matter of herself cannot bring forth in any period.
