Notes
Book of Power
"Hieroglyphically the Zain expresses an arrow, and therefore it suggests the idea of a weapon, of the instrument which man uses to rule and conquer, and to attain his object."[1]
"A Conquerer, crowned with a coronet."[2]
"Man performing the function of God the Creator."[3]
"(The Chariot occupied by the Master assuming the direction of collective work.) The Initiate submits to the 'Set Square' which points to the master chosen to direct the work. The elected chief shows himself to be conciliating, sociable, always concerned with maintaining harmony. Out of the clash of warring opinions he can draw the conclusion which reveals impartially that part of truth which is implicit in these opinions.
"[4] [Seems to be suggesting insertion into a hierarchy, where the "chiefs" are conciliating and social, always striving to maintain harmony between each other.]
