"Theogony" by Hesiod is the only surviving sacred ancient text of the Greeks. For Hesiod, seized by the "divine madness" of poets, praises the immortal generations in sequential order.
The solid foundation of the 1,022 verses of Theogony presents the psychogenesis of gods and monsters in the psychology of mortals. From the monsters of our collective unconscious to the virtue of the superconscious. It begins with Chaos, Gaia, the intermediary Tartarus, and "life-giving" Eros, and concludes with the divine lineage of Zeus, his nine divine consorts, and their twenty-seven divine offspring.
The mystical cycle of the 33 tropical years of the sun, known to the Orphics, is found in the sum of the divine beings by type and intersects with the line of verses at the point of transformation of the types. The Theogony carves the traces of a new way of thinking. Invisible, the precision of numbers guides our reasoning.
Numbers are connected with the cycles of celestial bodies to indicate to mortals the errors and exploits of their souls. Numbers lead the way, followed by two symbols: the six-pointed and the five-pointed star, the image of the soul and the body of man, a reflection of its essence.
These ancient Greek numbers and symbols bear no relation to later religions, mystical organizations, or Eastern or Western paths.
