I took some liberties with the order of the kana to make it fit better on the middle pillar. You'll notice that Yesod and Malkuth borrow some kana from Keter. Also, the voiced syllables like ga, za, ba, pa, etc. default to their unvoiced roots. Let me know how this works for you and if there's anything I can do to improve it. The 0 and 1 refer to hiragana and katakana, respective. You can interchange them to form binary numbers.

It's pretty, but... what is it? whee
I mean, I know what the Tree of Life is, and I have a vague recollection of what the points are, but other than that I'm lost.

Well, for now it's just a list of correspondences, but I'm hoping to flesh it out into a magical system using both spoken and written Japanese, similar to Enochian.

Correspondences of what, though? Why are the kana where they are, and what do the elements mean?
This does explain what that "middle pillar" thing I keep hearing about might be, hehe. I think I may have been too simplistic saying I know what the Tree of Life is (I know it's Kabbalah, road to enlightenment/god/wisdom, two-sided, that sort of thing).
Sorry if I'm a bit dense; I'm new to this Things Have Structure thing, and ignorant. :B

I'm still very new to Hermetecism, so I don't understand the idea of converting it to Japanese. Is it for ease of pronunciation or aesthetics?

Grant Morrison I'm still very new to Hermetecism, so I don't understand the idea of converting it to Japanese. Is it for ease of pronunciation or aesthetics? Aesthetics. I'm working on using Japanese as a magical language.

Hum, there's a lot of work on Japanese as a magical language, prayer wheels and notes, written seals etc...
I've seen more than a few references to magical writings before anyway though I mist confess that I haven't done deep research into it, I'm planning on Learning Japanese first.
Back on topic though, will you be able to keep the interplay between the spheres and the neumorology involved in the Sepherioth the same with a Japanese conversion?

Do you plan on speaking various sounds from Japanese, or are you hoping for traditional meaning behind the corresponding characters? If you need kanji help, I'm sure I can find you some. I have a relative that excels in Japanese (it's her major).

What is your basis for placing the hirogana/katakan where you did? I mean, what preampted you to assign A to Fire and Keter?
