The number 52
-
I remember reading somewhere by Crowley that he thought 52 was a really bad number. Why is that? What does it mean in a magickal sense?
Nice new forum btw!

...probably not what you're seeking but 52 is the gematria of Tetragrammaton spelled in full.

My gematria notebook doesn't have a Crowley quote treating this as a bad number. I have quite a lot on that page, but nothing of that sort.
52 is striking as a number that simultaneously declares Son, Father, and Mother - being BN, "son;" AYMA, "mother;" and, as already mentioned, Tetragrammaton spelled in plenitude as a way of saying "Father." In all of this, it's an important part of the 13 series, being double 26. (In fact, one Crowley quote on the number I have is that, as 13x4, it is “Mercy and the influence of the Father.”)

"Perhaps you're thinking of 51?
This is the numeration of ADVM ('Edom'), AN ('pain'), NA ('failure'), HVM ('to harrass/perturb') and AIM ('terrible') according to Sepher Sephiroth.edit: 'ADIM' ≠ 51

Oh, I see. Yes, it's quite possible it was 51 I was thinking of, because that description sounds sort of familiar. Well then, I've been trying to avoid 52 for nothing then. Thanks for clearing this up!
