"To understand what occurs once these archetypes have descended into Tiphareth one needs to appreciate the magickal formula of ABRAHADABRA of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost which Crowley says works out of the lower Ruach. In this formula the Father represents the nature of the archetypal or syncronistic seed (Abra) descending through Tiphareth from Above while the Son represents the cause and effect of Phallic energy (Abra) through the sphere of Hod on the Below. The Holy Ghost (Had) is seen as a female divinity known in Gnosticism as Sophia, the Goddess of Wisdom. She represents the goddess Nuit in her lower manifestation which resides within the sphere of Netzach. The Gnostics believed that Christ and Sophia are the left and right hands of God, both husband and wife above the Abyss, and Son and daughter Below. ... The Gnostics understood that Christ can only manifest his Logos or Word into the world through Sophia.... Finally, the Goddess Sophia or HAD, which lies between ABRA (one hand) and ABRA (another hand), is also known as the Greek goddess of Wisdom or Metis. She is central to the Mysteries of Baphomet." -- J. Edward Cornelius
