Deadly Sins, Elements, & Masks of Satan

I took liberty to translate brother Kavi's suggestion from the Finnish side:
The deadly, or mortal, or cardinal sins are for me a permanent key for approaching occult & psychological challenges, as can be seen from several books of mine. To connect this 7+1 or 4+4 schema of the Azazelian deadly sins (Sloth, Gluttony, Greed, Envy on the lower side, and Lust, Wrath, Pride, Despair on the higher side) to other septenaries & quoternaries is definitely possible. Actually I just recently wrote an article (not published yet) about the deadly sins' connection to the annual wheel of ours: solstices, equinoxes, and the rites of seasons' passing.

I tried to define it like a psychological fixation, but in [a quotation from Pauli Pylkkö] there are some ideas to note, in case there will come a discussion about pride, for example.
Would anyone be willing to write/discuss about these things in their connection to different elements and, as a wild flight of thought, to the seven masks of Satan?
I don't know the connection, because this came to me just now.
It would be interesting to read and think about more of this.
In lodge Thanatos we advancd to the archetype of Death and the Absolute is still waiting [of the "Seven Faces of Satan" book]. The deadly sins were pondered a couple of years, and they became an interesting topic for thought for today.
