Titles: Strength, Power, Might, Din, Justice, Pachad-Fear

God name: Elohim Gibor: Gods of Strength and Power. This Can be feminized
to Elohim Giborah. Older Semitic tribes, of which the Hebrew are one, had a
Goddess of War and Love called Anat or Anatha who was said to be the wife of
Yahweh, although another of her titles was the Compasssionate Virgin. Anat
did not make wars, but fought and finshed them. This emphasizes Geburah as
not the cause of imbalance but the cure.
Archangel Khamael: "The Burner of God" Angel of Justice and Severity, the
Angel who tests the purity of our intents. Linked with Sammael, the
Destroyer and Angel of Death whose task it is to erase imperfections from the
cosmic Drawing board. An Analogy would be that of Resistence and Conduction
(Geburah and Chesed) of the Power from the Middle Pillar. Khamael is the
resistance that modifies divine power in such a way that it can safely be
used further down the Tree as it begins to physically manifest.
Angels of Geburah: Seraphim, Fiery Serpents, the root SRP means to burn by
fire, and a Seraph was placed as a guard before the Gates of Paradise after
Adam and Eve's exile. Seraphim as angels of flame help us in burning away
that which is unnecessary or no longer needed whether it be mental,
emotional or spiritual waste - the key is to make sure that they are
selective in burning away only that which is outworn. They do not punish,
they purify - we are not allowed into paradise without first passing the
Seraphim.
Geburah's Planet of Assiah and Mundane Chakra is Mars. In the world of
action, Mars gives us strength of will, fire, drive, ability to act and to
stand up against our foes. Mars is also incredible discipline where the
proper amount of energy is always expended, nothing more nor less.
Geburah is force, might, power and courage. "Nature red in tooth and claw" -
this is not cruelty but the absence of Mercy. The Merciful Lion does not
eat, and soon dies.
Called the Radical Intelligence, Geburah unites itself to Binah in a higher
energy sequence to keep the cosmic order.
Deities of Geburah include Kali, the Morrigan, Athena, Ares and all warrior
Gods and Goddesses.
Chesed and Geburah are often worked with together because they represent the
extremes of either polarity. Together they complement and balance one
another very well to encourage manifestation on this physical level of
existence. Their balancing aspects are shown by their respective titles:
Mercy (Chesed) and Severity (Geburah). In our next article we'll examine
Chesed in detail and compare its energies to Geburah so that you get a
balanced understanding.
