Worked Example Sources
A shared note page behind the worked-example family: not a finished bibliography yet, but a visible record of which source families each chain should eventually cite.
How to read this page
Each chain has four recurring citation targets: weekday naming, the planet-metal pair, the later table-world sephirah alignment, and the color node. The point is not to force every route into a single bibliography style immediately. The point is to keep the method honest about where a historical claim should eventually be sourced.
Three directional note types now govern the page: table-jump cues move downward into source families, return-path cues move back to exact claim cards, and onward-path cues move outward into the larger method layer.
When a source-note panel on a worked-example page says “placeholder citation target,” this is the family it means. As the archive matures, these entries can expand into full references, editions, translators, and route-specific note blocks.
The navigation on this page is now precise rather than generic: section backlinks land on the exact weekday, metal, table-world, or color claim card inside each worked example, and those cards carry a return chip back to the relevant bibliography family.
Grid roles: the legend cards above describe navigation behavior, while the family cards below describe the four correspondence chains whose sources this page tracks.
Chain progression: these four family cards are the summary heads for the same chains that appear row by row in the source table below.
Table behavior: the bibliography cells below are clickable in-page jumps. Use them to move from a chain row directly into the matching source family section.
| Chain | Weekday naming target | Metal target | Table-world alignment target | Color node target |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mars → Geburah → Iron → Tuesday → RedRoman planetary-week naming plus later war-god translation layers. | Starter bibliography now exists below for the Roman planetary-week layer and later European preservation of the Martian weekday slot. | Starter bibliography now exists below for the seven-planet / seven-metal schema and martial-metal traditions around iron. | Starter bibliography now exists below for later Hermetic-Qabalistic transmission layers that place Mars in Geburah without treating the pairing as timeless universality. | Starter bibliography now exists below for later occult color-scale tables that assign red in the Martian register. |
| Sun → Tiphareth → Gold → Sunday → YellowDirect solar weekday naming in calendar history. | Starter bibliography now exists below for direct solar weekday naming and broader calendar-history context. | Starter bibliography now exists below for the seven-planet / seven-metal schema and gold's solar affinity in traditional symbolism. | Starter bibliography now exists below for later Hermetic-Qabalistic transmission layers that align the Sun with Tiphareth. | Starter bibliography now exists below for later occult color-scale tables that place yellow in the solar register. |
| Venus → Netzach → Copper → Friday → GreenPlanetary-week naming and later goddess-translation layers. | Starter bibliography now exists below for Friday as Venus's day in Latin and later translated naming histories. | Starter bibliography now exists below for the seven-planet / seven-metal schema and Aphroditic / Cypriot copper traditions. | Starter bibliography now exists below for later Hermetic-Qabalistic transmission layers that place Venus in Netzach. | Starter bibliography now exists below for later occult color-scale tables that assign green in the Venusian register. |
| Mercury → Hod → Quicksilver → Wednesday → OrangeRoman naming plus Germanic translation of the Mercurial slot. | Starter bibliography now exists below for dies Mercurii and the Woden/Odin translation layer in calendar reception. | Starter bibliography now exists below for the seven-planet / seven-metal schema and alchemical Mercurius traditions for quicksilver. | Starter bibliography now exists below for later Hermetic-Qabalistic transmission layers that place Mercury in Hod. | Starter bibliography now exists below for later occult color-scale tables that place orange in the Hod register, especially Golden Dawn-derived systems. |
Family expansion: the bibliography sections below reopen these same four source families column by column: weekday naming, planet-metal, table-world alignment, and color-node.
Return path: the route chips inside each bibliography section below land on the exact matching claim card inside the worked examples, not just on the page top.
Section order: the bibliography stack below keeps the same order as the source-table columns: weekday naming, planet-metal, table-world alignment, color-node.
Late-stack sequencing: from the third bibliography panel onward, this page keeps a low-intensity sequence signal through shell, text, links, and motion so deep repetition stays legible without restarting heavy onboarding. The sequence begins at panel three because panel one serves as the entry surface and panel two marks the transition into repetition. These cues are navigational rather than evidentiary: they mark position in the reading rhythm, not stronger source weight.
Weekday Naming Starter Bibliography
This is the first column of the worked-example sources table to move beyond placeholder language. These references cover the calendar-history layer behind Roman weekday naming and the Germanic translation layer that helps explain English Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday.
Entry note: this first panel is the entry surface for the bibliography stack, carrying the extra onboarding cues before the page transitions into its repeating lower sections. Those extra cues are entry-specific rather than the template for every later section.
Claim-card backlinks: the route chips under each section land on the exact matching claim card inside the worked examples, not on a generic page heading.
Evidence-card pattern: the later bibliography panels reuse this same card structure, but with different source families filling the list.
Repeating rhythm: from here forward, each bibliography panel reuses the same structure with a different source family occupying the same positions.
Planet-Metal Starter Bibliography
This is the second column of the worked-example sources table to move beyond placeholder language. These references cover the classical planet-metal schema, the alchemical imagination around metallic symbolism, and the later occult tables that keep iron, gold, copper, and quicksilver inside one governed family.
Stable rhythm: the remaining bibliography panels now reuse this same section structure without further onboarding cues.
Transition note: this second panel is the handoff into repetition, bridging the entry-weighted first section and the lower-intensity late-stack sequence that begins with panel three. These transition cues are specific to that handoff rather than the template for every later panel.
Table-World Alignment Starter Bibliography
This is the third column of the worked-example sources table to move beyond placeholder language. These references cover the later Hermetic-Qabalistic transmission layer where Mars/Geburah, Sun/Tiphareth, Venus/Netzach, and Mercury/Hod become governed table pairings inside operative occult systems rather than universal claims about all Kabbalistic history.
Color-Node Starter Bibliography
This is the fourth column of the worked-example sources table to move beyond placeholder language. These references cover later occult color-scale traditions, especially Golden Dawn and Golden Dawn-adjacent tables, where red, yellow, green, and orange become governed sephirotic or planetary color nodes rather than free-floating symbolic generalities.
