RHEA, GODDESS (NŪT)

A symbol of space.

"Rhea is represented as a daughter of Uranus and Ge, and the wife of Cronos, by whom she became the mother of Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, Poseidon and Zeus." - Smith's Class. Dict.

Space is said to be originated by Spirit and Matter (Uranus and Ge). It is united to Time, by which it brings forth the physical (Hestia), the lower buddhic (Demeter), the higher buddhic (Hera), the astral (Hades), and the atmic (Poseidon) planes; also the Higher Self (Zeus).

"The Secret Doctrine,-postulating that conditioned or limited space (location) has no real being except in this world of illusion, or in other words, in our perceptive faculties,-teaches that every one of the higher, as of the lower worlds, is interblended with our objective world." - H. P. BLAVATSKY, Secret Doctrine, Vol. I. p. 662.
