A Hermetic mage might be as likely to call a Sphere by its Sephirot name, and should be encouraged to think of the implications the rulership of that sphere has. For example, a pacifistic mage would avoid Entropy magicks, which are ruled by the warlike sephiroth Geburah. I will list the Sephirot, its associated Sphere, then the Ruling Planet, the day associated with the planet, and the traditional one-word description of the Sephiroth.
