Hod

From Ascension Glossary

Hod is the eighth sphere in the Kabbalistic Tree of Life. It represents Glory or Majesty. As the tree of life is supposed to be a roadmap to "consciousness", Hod is where form is given by language in its widest sense, being the key to the mystery of form. Our unconscious desires come from Netsach, and are given form in the symbolic realm by Hod, manifesting unconsciously through Yesod to Malchuth.[1]

Samael

The Desolation of God, or The Left Hand,  “Hod is the complex working of the will of the Absolute. Samael represents the barren desolation of a fallen and failed creation. The outer form is Theuniel, 'The filthy Wailing Ones of God'.”

Adrammelech: Powerful King

To Samael, Adrammelech is attributed. “This name is found in Fourth Kings: XVII, 29-31: ' And the men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima, and the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burnt their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.” [2]
