      From wikipedia:

      Mise-en-scène (French: [mi.z‿ɑ̃.sɛn]; English: “placing on stage” or “what is put into the scene”) is the stage design and arrangement of actors in scenes for a theatre or film production,[1] both in visual arts through storyboarding, visual theme, and cinematography, and in narrative storytelling through direction. The term is also commonly used to refer to single scenes that are representative of a film. Mise-en-scène has been called film criticism’s “grand undefined term.”

      Dion Fortune was talking about Binah as an anthropomorphized ancient God (implied Ancient Egyptian time period in the vision). I was wondering if there was a deity that Binah was pulled from for the Qabbalah?

        Good question, not sure about a deity in Qabbalah related to Binah, but, Binah in Hebrew begins with the letter (Bet) which is significant because the Hebrew Bible begins with the (Bet)/Bereshit meaning “in the beginning.”

        Betzalel (also beginning with Bet), was the architect of the Ark of the Covenant, and his qualifications according to Exodus 31:3 “I have filled him with the Spirit of God (Kether), with Wisdom (Chakmah), with Understanding (Binah)…” so this appears to suggest Binah may signal to the Creation account in Genesis (Bereshit), and the building of the Ark of the Covenant.

        Also, Wisdom (Chakmah) and Understanding (Binah) may imply Solomon, and the building of the Temple. It may be the case that when Fortune signals to Binah, she is signaling to the temple-building/world creation aspect in housing a deity that would be consistent with the story line in Moon Magic.

        Thoughts?
