Tharmas

In the mythological writings of William Blake, Tharmas is one of the four Zoas, who were created when Albion, the primordial man, was divided fourfold.

Tharmas is connected to the direction point West and his fallen state is to mark the Circumference of the world.

[2] As connected to the body and sensation, his fallen state's separation from Enion/sex causes him to turn into the spectre Eternal Death.

[3] When separated from Enion, she creates the "Circle of Destiny", and, with it, the Gate of the tongue, which Tharmas is connected to, was closed.

Tharmas creates the foundation but leaves as Los sets about rebuilding the universe.

He is depicted in the designs as a young, winged man that lies near the Sea of Time and Space.

The designs depicting him in Jerusalem show a bearded man that is shaping the circumference of a sphere while Enion is chasing after the young Los and Enitharmon.

In the "Circle of Life" design, he is young and without a beard, and, in Blake's illustrations of Genesis, he has the head of an ox.
