Nine Medibgóëse Muses

The Nine Medibgóëse Muses represent various, successive magical states of consciousness and were taught early on in the training of a young mage, especially in Medibgö and other schools that derived from the Medibgóêse system of magic. They are thought to have correspondence with the nine Phœnix-Dragons. The value of three and is of great esoteric significance in arcane studies. The number nine is particularly valued as the power of three times itself. The number twenty seven, 3 to the third power is also seen as significant.

In some systems, the first three muses are the first trinity, associated with the power of magic in the physical and natural world. The second trinity are associated with magic in the spiritual or esoteric world. The third or last trinity of muses represent the power of magic in the transcendental or divine world. The muses have been roughly compared to the seven chakras, ascending from the lowest chakra which is part of the physical or elemental world, through the fourth chakra which is considered part of the spiritual world, and ending with the seventh chakra which is the culmination of transcendence, although the correspondence is imperfect between seven and nine.
