GREEN COLOUR
The symbolic color of the astral plane, being the
plane of growth through desire. Hence the "green sea”; “grass,”
“herbs,” “vegetation,” etc., also "wood."
"If thou wouldst destroy Apep, thou shalt say this chapter over a
figure of Apep which hath been drawn in green colour upon a sheet of
new papyrus, and over a wax figure of Apep upon which his name hath
been cut and inlaid with green colour; and thou shalt lay them upon
the fire so that it may consume the enemy of Ra." - From "The Book
of Overthrowing Apep," DR. BUDGE, Egyptian Magic, p. 80.
The serpent Apep is a symbol of desire which inhabits, and energises
upon, the astral plane. The “saying of the chapter" signifies the
passing through the period of experience which shall develop the
desire nature and make it of service in the soul's progress. The "
drawing and figure of Apep" signify the illusoriness and
transitoriness of the things of the lower planes, which truth the
soul gradually realises; and the burning is the symbol of final
purification, and the ridding the soul of the desire-nature the
opponent of the Divine.
