Tetractys.

The Tetractys (also known as the Decad) is an equilateral Triangle formed from the sequence of the first ten numbers aligned in four rows. It is both a Mathematical idea and a Metaphysical Symbol that embraces within itself - in Seedlike form - the Principles of the Natural World, the Harmony of the Cosmos, the Ascent to the Divine, and the Mysteries of the Divine Realm. So revered was this Ancient Symbol that it inspired Ancient Philosophers to swear by the name of the one who brought this gift to Humanity - Pythagoras.

Annibal Barlet - Chart of Cosmic Elements,  “Le Vray et Methodique Cours de la Physique Resolutive Vulgairement dite Chymie” (”The True and Methodical Course in Resolutive Physick, Commonly called Chemistry”), 1657.

Annibal Barlet proposed a number of Cosmological arguments that included Elements of Alchemy and Astrology. This is the sixth example, bringing together his previous five Cosmic arguments and joining them with the Animal, Vegetable, Mineral and Metal ‘Kingdoms’ to form a Cosmic model of the World.

The Fifteen Nityas.

The Nityas or Eternities of Lalita represent the fifteen Lunar days or Tithis of the Waxing Moon. The full circle of the Nityas also represents the 21,600 Breaths a Human Being takes in a full day and night. The 15 Nityas are modifications of Lalita as Red Goddess with her three Gunas and her five Elements of Ether, Air, Fire, Water and Earth. Each Nitya has her own Mantra, Yantra and group of Energies (Shaktis).

The Upanishad says that the Human Body is to be conceived as the Sri Chakra, being the Expression of one’s own Self. The Body is to be regarded as not different from the Atma, the Entire Cosmic System associated with the Body is also the same. This Manifestation rests on Time, Space and a combination of the two. The 15 lunar Tithis are to be regarded as Identical with the 15 Nityas. The sixteenth Kala called Sadakhya should be viewed as one with Lalita or the Supreme Deity Herself, being the 16th day or Full Moon.
