God the Son (and Maker of fine Weather)

God the Son is the second Person of the Christian Trinity, the eternal Logos incarnate as Jesus Christ. The subtitle “and Maker of fine Weather” is a peculiar liturgical or folk epithet that appears in English prayer-book traditions, specifically in the context of prayers for fair weather—a concrete, almost homely office assigned to the celestial King who governs the clouds and the sunshine.

Position on the Tree of Life

This title corresponds to Sephirah 6, Tiphereth (Beauty), the central, harmonizing sphere on the Pillar of Balance. Here God the Son stands as the perfect mediator between the stern judgment of Geburah (Christ coming to Judge the World) and the merciful rain-making of Chesed (God the Farmer’s Friend). Tiphereth is the sun of the Tree, and fine weather is its most literal physical analogue: clear skies, gentle warmth, the flourishing of life under a balanced sky.

Astrological and planetary correspondence

Tiphereth is ruled by the Sun. God the Son as Maker of fine Weather thus aligns with solar radiance, the principle of conscious self-awareness and generative light that both illuminates and warms. In planetary magic, this name may be invoked for operations seeking clarity, justice tempered with mercy, or the dispelling of spiritual “storm clouds.”

Historical context

The epithet appears in the Book of Common Prayer (1662), in the “Prayer for Fair Weather,” which petitions God to send “clear and fair weather” that the people may “receive the fruits of the earth in due season.” Theologically, it is Christ who “rebuked the wind and the sea” (Matthew 8:26) and who is described in Colossians 1:17 as the one “in whom all things hold together.” The English rural tradition, reflected in almanacs and harvest blessings, often assigned the role of weather-maker to Christ as the cosmic Logos who orders the elements. This same figure appears in Liber 777 as the Tiphereth expression of the Selection of Christian Gods—neither the remote Father nor the inspiring Spirit, but the Son who walks among farmers and fishermen, whose sovereignty extends to the barometer as well as the soul.

Closing

In Liber 777, at scale step 6 (Tiphereth), God the Son (and Maker of fine Weather) occupies the cell of the sun-lit center of the Christian pantheon: a figure of balanced power, equally at home in the Nicene Creed and in the rustic prayer for a bright harvest-day.
