DECANS, "THE 36,-(36 × 10 = 360 degrees)"These are indicative of the degrees of power in the functionings of the Logos upon the planes, during the cycle of life. “The 36 Egyptian decans are the stars who watched for ten days each over the 360 days of the Egyptian year, and were divided into two classes, or hemispheres, those of the day and of the night.” – Sayce, Rel. of Anc. Egypt. and Babyl., p. 237. The 36 stars serve to symbolise the path of the sun through the Zodiac, that is, the path of the Higher Self, or Divine Ego, through the cycle of life (year). The decans signify degrees of spiritual energy shown in the functionings on the planes. In the outgoing (day) the Spirit appears to become weaker and weaker; in the incoming (night) stronger and stronger. “Beneath the Circle of this all-embracing frame, are ranged the Six and Thirty Decans, between this Circle of the Universe and that one of the Animals, determining the boundaries of both these Circles, and, as it were, holding that of the Animals aloft up in the air, and so perfect defining it.” – “The Sermon,” G. R. S. Mead, T. G. Hermes, Vol. II, p. 46. The “Circle encompassing all things” signifies the Absolute—the Eternal Source. The “Circle of the Animals, or the Life-giving Circle,” signifies the Cycle of Life, represented by the Zodiac and its animal signs. When manifestation commences, the latent Cycle of Life is, as it were, held aloft in the heavens and energised. |
