each is itself divisible : thus, Chesedand Geburah01 Tiphareth are the breasts; Tiphareth theheart; Netzach and Hod the testicles; Jesodthe membrum virile; and Malkuth the anus.The signs of the Zodiac are variously given, andthe Planets agree with the face: thus, b and?! , the ears; & and ? , the nostrils; Θ and
