While "Gamaliel" has been the order of qlippoth corresponding to the sephira Yesod since the days of the Golden Dawn, does anyone know where Mathers found this attribution? Other researches on the word "Gamaliel" show it to be the proper name of a Rabbi well-regarded in both Christian and Judaic tradition.
I do not challenge the material presented here, as "Gamaliel" has been used in this sense for over a hundred years now, but I do wonder if the name was a "blind" introduced by Mathers to put a safer word of power into the GD teachings, rather than a more traditional, and dangerous, Hebrew name. Anybody? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.185.211.21 (talk • contribs) 03:53, 17 February 2006
