It does seem to get taken seriously by a certain group that includes some notable writers.<br /><br />I find it a valuable tool for communuication which explains why I bother to write about it.Oz Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06061222169144560970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361223727037711552.post-15571529642902955412011-07-12T20:33:41.577-07:002011-07-12T20:33:41.577-07:00Interesting.

I had taken this so literally and had never thought of such exact correspondences.<br /><br />Gemetria is fascinating but IMHO opinion not to be taken too seriously (Crowley warns about the two types of fool). Arithmology is another way of describing "Gemetria". Its fun applying it outside its original contexts (in the case of the Qabalah, Hebrew religious texts) but the connections only have limited significance. Crowley often bent the rules to get the right number. <br /><br />As for the correct numbers to be ascribed to the Roman alphabet in the context of the "Liber Al", there have been attempts...<br /><br />Just an anecdote: I once met a guy a who was actually certifiably insane (he often took rests in institutions)who was convinced that Bill Gates was the devil because his name added up to 666 in ASCII code (apparently it nearly does.)

Reading this passage further in "Through the Looking Glass," Humpty Dumpty says:<br /><br />"It's a cravat, child, and a beautiful one, as you say. It's a present from the White King and Queen. There now!" which shows the Daleth correspondence.Oz Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06061222169144560970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361223727037711552.post-23294891322489624562011-07-07T09:31:10.813-07:002011-07-07T09:31:10.813-07:00When Crowley talks about "the identity of the...When Crowley talks about "the identity of the three reciprocating paths of Daleth, Teth, and Pé," he means the three horizontal paths on the Tree of Life. This refers to when Alice tells Humpty Dumpty, "What a beautiful belt you've got on!" She emends that to "a beautiful cravat, I should have said - no, a belt, I mean - I beg your pardon."Eric Wagnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04312033917401203598noreply@blogger.com
