The Blood of the Lamb
-
The concepts of the "Lamb of God" and the "Blood of the Lamb" according to a scholar friend of mine, has an interesting background.
According to him, when a nursing mother lamb dies leaving a couple of little lambs with no means for nourishment, they will be rejected by another mother lamb because they don't smell like hers.
The solution in order to save the little lambs is to kill one of her own and bathe the orphans with that blood. What happens is that this will make the orphans "smell" correctly and she will accept them.
I just thought this was very cool.93s

DM (44) + CR (220) = SDR (264).
On first glance, 44 and 220 seem to be very "Aeon of Horus" numbers, but there are resonances that reach back. DMCR is the Rosicrucian Damcar, as all good readers of the Golden Dawn 5=6 will know...
SDR is not only the Passover Seder, but also Hebrew for "order" or "arrangement." A few clicks into Wikipedia took me to some unfamiliar bits of emanationist kabbalah from the Hasidic tradition that seem to fit right in with "our" Hermetic Qabalah.
"The solution in order to save the little lambs is to kill one of her own and bathe the orphans with that blood. What happens is that this will make the orphans "smell" correctly and she will accept them."
This hearkens back to the Meditation of the Day for 19 January (CCXX III:23-24)...
