Atable of magical correspondences is a list ofmagical correspondences between items belonging to different categories, such as correspondences between certain deities, heavenly bodies, plants, perfumes, precious stones, etc.[1] Such lists were compiled by 19th-centuryoccultists likeSamuel Liddell Mathers andWilliam Wynn Westcott (both members of theHermetic Order of the Golden Dawn), who in the 1890s prepared an (unpublished) manuscript calledThe Book of Correspondences.[2] This manuscript was later reworked byAleister Crowley, who anonymously published it in 1909 asLiber 777.[3] These tables of correspondences were meant to be used in a ceremonial context, where specific magical objects were assigned to specific deities orKabbalistic emanations (sefirot).[4]
