Hermeticum: 10 Powers of Purification (Virtues) vs. 12 Torments of Darkness

[causticus]

The 10 Powers of Purification, from the Corpus Hermeticum, Chapter VII:

1. Revelation of God defeats Ignorance.
2. Knowledge of Joy defeats Sorrow.
3. Power of Temperance defeats Intemperance.
4. Continence is the power over Concupiscence (Sensual Longing), and this continence is the foundation of Justice.
5. And this Justice derived from the above, defeats Injustice.
6. Communion is the virtue which defeats Covetousness.
7. Truth defeats Error, Deceit and Envy.

Special note: only 7 powers are directly listed in the text...I'll surely be looking for the other 3 ;) ...that Pythagorean decad must be completed.
