I just wanted to share a little bit of what it has been like to translate the psalms these past few weeks and make a note about my thoughts.
As I shared in the lodge, i believe the sum of all verses makes up for a composition, a 72 verse song that speaks of God’s attributes and our relationship to him.

So far what we have recieved is “mirrored” verses, two that speak of different sides of the same concept…love,faith…I believe we are on our way to find something symmetric and beautiful as a whole…and that this is meant to be a symphony.

As for the translations, I’ve had two main rules: to stay as close as possible to the original latin and to look for the usages of the words in different contexts.
Semantics becomes very important for this exercise, as the interpretations may divert greatly from the official ones.

I highly recommend reading the entire psalms weekly, as I’ve found them to be truly powerful and effective.

Lastly, I want to thank everyone that has reached out to me during the process, your experiences are invaluable to me. Thank you!

Here is a list of the first psalms we are reciting. I’ve transcribed them myself so there could be mistakes!

Ps. I’ve used /ch/ to produce a hard “H” sound.

This is Psalm 104, incredibly powerful and beautiful.

I’ve started transcribing some passages of the bible in both ancient greek and hebrew. I wanted to share it with everyone 🙂

Hi Jenn! I was reading the Grimoire of the Shem by Farrell and it does reference Violet, yellow and black as colours related to the angel of YLY. Hope this is helpful!

[Manu]

Thanks!!!
I’m using the tree on the bottom to establish a correspondence between the psalm and the sefirot…just by intuition.
