The Planet - The Moon (veiling a planet) References
in The Secret Doctrine
- "The moon is now the cold residual quantity, the shadow dragged after the new body,
into which her living powers are transfused. She now is doomed for long ages to be ever
pursuing the Earth, to be attracted by and to attract her progeny. Constantly vampirized
by her child, she revenges herself on it, by soaking it through and through with the
nefarious, invisible and poisonous influence which emanates from the occult side of her
nature. For she is a dead, yet a living body. The particles of her decaying
corpse are full of active and destructive life, although the body which they had formed,
is soulless and lifeless." (Vol. I, 180) [665]
- "The Earth is a satellite of the Moon." (Vol. I, 212) (i.e., as the soul is
today the satellite of form.)
- "The Moon is the symbol of evil." (Vol. I, 246)
- "The moon is not a sacred planet." (Vol. II, 36)
- "The moon is the king of the planets." (Vol. II, 401, Note)
