"The Sphinx is the synthesis of the four living creatures of Ezekiel and of the Apocalypse — the man, the bull, the lion, and the eagle. It is the symbol of the fourfold power of the Magus: to know, to dare, to will, and to keep silence. In her lies the secret of the Tetragrammaton — four letters, four forms, four elements united in one ineffable name." — Éliphas Lévi – Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie
