Heptachord The seven-stringed lyre of Apollo, corresponding to septenates in general, such as seven musical tones, seven prismatic colors, seven human or cosmic principles, etc. From it the god evoked the harmony that governs the worlds in their motions.

One of its correspondences is the seven sacred planets, Apollo being the sun. As the ancients all regarded the sun, under whatever name, as a seven- or twelve-rayed one -- the allusions here being to the doctrine of the logoi proceeding from the sun's heart and finding their respective individual habitations in the planets -- the heptachord is thus the actual or organic structure of the solar system; and in reality Apollo's heptachord is Apollo's own self flowing forth in seven logoic powers.

Karabtanos (Gnostic) In the Codex Nazaraeus, the spirit of blind or animal desire, son of Spiritus (Anima Mundi or the astral light), and generator, by the astral light as mother, of seven other spirits of his own kind: pure spirit fails at creation, so that it is only when Karabtanos "consents to help his mother, that the 'Spiritus' conceives and brings forth 'Seven Figures,' and again 'Seven' and once more 'Seven' (the Seven Virtues, Seven Sins and Seven Worlds" (BCW 6:192n). He is a symbol of matter; also of kama-rupas in the astral world, said to be without sense or judgment.
