Blavatsky, H. P. (Helena Petrovna)
Theosophy
IN CHALDEA.
The trinity--Anu, Bel, Hoa (or Sin, Samas, Bin), blend into
ONE who is Anu (double-sexed) through the Virgin Mylitta.
IN THE OPHITE SYSTEM.
The trinity consisted of the Mystery named Sigè, Bythos,
Ennoia. These become ONE who is _Abrasax_, from the Virgin
_Sophia_ (or _Pneuma_), who herself is an emanation of Bythos
and the Mystery-god and emanates through them, Christos.
To place it still clearer, the Babylonian System recognizes first--the
ONE (Ad, or Ad-ad), who is never named, but only acknowledged in
thought as the Hindu Swayambhuva. From this he becomes manifest as Anu
or Ana--the one above all--Monas. Next comes the Demiurge called Bel
or Elu, who is the active power of the Godhead. The third is the
principle of Wisdom, Hea or Hoa, who also rules the sea and the
underworld. Each of these has his divine consort, giving us Anata,
Belta, and Davkina. These, however, are only like the _Saktis_, and
not especially remarked by theologists. But the female principle is
denoted by Mylitta, the Great Mother, called also Ishtar. So with the
three male gods, we have the Triad or Trimurti, and with Mylitta
added, the _Arba_ or Four (Tetraktys of Pythagoras), which perfects
and potentializes all. Hence, the above-given modes of expression. The
following Chaldean diagram may serve as an illustration for all
others:
⎧ Anu, ⎫ Mylitta--Arba-il,
Triad ⎨ Bel, ⎬ or
⎩ Hoa, ⎭ Four-fold God,
become, with the Christians,
⎧God the Father, ⎫ Mary, or mother of these three Gods
Trinity ⎨God the Son, ⎬ since they are one,
⎩God the Holy Ghost,⎭ or, the Christian Heavenly Tetraktys.
Hence, Hebron, the city of the Kabeiri was called Kirjath-Arba, city
of the Four. The Kabeiri were Axieros--the noble Eros, Axiokersos,
the worthy horned one, Axiokersa, Demeter and Kadmiel, Hoa, etc.
The Pythagorean ten denoted the Arba-Il or Divine Four, emblematized
by the Hindu Lingham: Anu, 1; Bel, 2; Hoa, 3, which makes 6. The
triad and Mylitta as 4 make the ten.
