Cheth (ח)

Cheth, the eighteenth path, connects Binah and Geburah. It is the character "Ch".

Cheth is one of the twelve simple letters, which represent astrological signs. The simple letters are secondary directions, the edges of the box, connecting its faces. Its attributions are:

Yetsiratic Attribution[1] House of Influence (consciousness of the house of influx, Sekhel Bet HaShefa, שכל בית השפע), by the greatness of whose abundance the influx of good things upon created beings is increased; and from the midst of the investigation the arcana and hidden senses are drawn forth, which dwell in its shade and which cling to it, from the Cause of all causes.

The Ari teaches that ח connects Chesed to Tiphareth. The Gra teaches that it connects Binah to Tiphareth.

Because the enumeration of Cheth is 418, it is the house (i.e., Babalon Liber AL II:78) of the Prophet: Understanding joined to Strength. But, of course, since Beth is a house, 418 (and, by extension, Cheth) = 2 (Beth).

Oh, but wait. Because Cheth is a fortress, it also represents the refuge we find in Nuit, as shown by Liber AL III:17: Nu is your refuge. So again Cheth = Beth. Eventually, you know, we will show that everything equals everything else. Isn't this fun!?!
