"93 Bereshith,
Thank you for your help and input! Very true! I agree of course we have an unconcious process that allows us to unlock these sorts of fancy solutions, however if they are products that have worth or objective use (i.e. Liber Tav) dont they justify themselves? "
Yes, they justify themselves if the product is of practical use and does not depend on others being required to accept the subjective choices of the process of discovery. Liber Tav creates a tarot layout that has great practical applications for meditation on the interconnectedness of the tarot, whether or not its source was Liber AL. Paul Foster Case presents a similar layout (though reversed - which I'm not sure matters since the layout is symmetrical) and does not credit any authority for its production other than tradition (that I recall).
"I hardly see "justification" for Liber Tavs format, (in terms of pure mechanics) thann this one. "
What meditation or practical application to magic does it provide for others that is not required to be based in acceptance of the method of its discovery?
"I guess what Im saying is, arent ALL "solutions" a product of these same things your citing anyway? "
Absolutely.
"What is the process or a solution example that wouldnt?"
It would have to achieve the solution by methods that do not require the unquestioning acceptance of another individual's subjective leaps of intuition and association.
"I dont know if this matters, but the only enumeration required is the first which does stay in place. That is 0 through 12 (not 13) & 13 down 25. The "mirrored" part is, I believe an extra hidden confirnation for the reduced being the "values". I disagree it is easy to arrive at such numbers in such a clear significant way. "
I didn't say it was easy. I said it was an activation of, and an accomplishment of, your unconscious genius. I said it was no small accomplishment to activate it or receive its creative response.
"666 "foursquare"? 418 in a cross? Deriving 666 by 6 lines of 111? 666 being a total of a 36 square quater? All from mirroring and reducing?"
Yes, but with no* logical *justification for the mirroring and reducing except that it ends up resulting in such things. That your mind discovered this is a work of art and genius. Does that seem so small to you? Must it be objectively confirmable by others for it to be a meaningful and significant demonstration of your genius by you, for you? It's only when we start claiming that our solution is obvious, final, and authoritative for everyone that it becomes necessary to apply the rules of rational methodology and objectivity. If we make no such claims, then it still remains that wonderful, mysterious interaction and demonstration of your own genius by you, for you.
"Again, your obviously an intelligent man, and I respect your feedback. I will look into what you say however. Just pointing out wgat MY mind argues.
93 93/93"
Absolutely understandable.
Love under Will.

Aha! I get it! Ok, thank you Bereshith. I think I finally understand! Your smarter than the average bear I see lol.
Ok, taking it now as a purely personal system, could you give me your opinion on my attributions of elements to the 5 letters of Abrahadabra? IF going by my idea of the cards shown? Id appreciate any advice!
Thank you!

Bereshith! One last question that came to me! A possible arguement; could we be throwing the perverbial baby out with the bathwater? Assuming personal, unjustified, or erroneous ideas lead to a valid result, does that really matter?
Would Crowley have thrown out the "AL" key had Achad said he arrived at it by playing scrabble?
How can anyone legitamately use these "keys" (clues) such as the "line drawn" and "circle squared" by NOT using intuitive interpretation with a solution? Their symbols after all, meant to provoke inspiration. We may all react or think of different ideas based on them.
Maybe these words, chance shapes, drawn symbols, and "the number & the words" could be meant to "strangely" or uniquely inspire a particular individual? Are we perhaps putting to much importance on HOW we arrive at a solution, rather than that solutions validity itself?
After all, maybe that is what "success is thy proof" means? Otherwise, we may make the reverse mistake, taking a wrong solution as having objective truth based on a convincing origin.
I dont know, just a thought. Still I get your points, and appreciate your thoughts.
Love under will

"Well, it's a simplified analogy, but if a person came to you and said "Eureka! I've got it! 4+55=666!" how would you react?"
Your missing my point. Sorry I didnt make it more clear.
Your mistaking an illogical process or method for arriving at a result. Im saying couldnt a verse or symbol inspire an IDEA for a method or process that yields a valid result?
For example, to address your issue with no justification for reducing, and mirroring this graph; could we not allow for "paste the sheets right to left and top to bottom" to mean several things? Or inspire the IDEA of each side "top", reverse "bottom" & "left" to "right" being this mirroring? Taking the meaning as a reversal also?
The "circle squared" inspiring the IDEA for 22 plus 4 = 26 & english? Also the suggesting addition of these four sides, as visually described as a cross? The glyph is interpreted by ME, inspiring a METHOD resulting in a valid solution.
Hope that explains it a bit better. My apologies for not being very articulate! Lol

"Wait a minute. This isnt making much sense to me now.
How can we exclude a solution simply because others would be required to accept the subjective choices of its originator?
If thats the criteria, it would basically be impossible for any solution to meet the requirement. That may be possible in fields such as science etc., but magick is an art as well, very subjective material no?
These symbols we leap from making subjective choices can inspire specific process that themselves are justified.
Liber Legis is of course very personal, individual, how the verses strike me - what they inspire is personal. You dont have to understand, nor agree how one arrives at a particular summit, but if he end up at that summit another may understand & verify his position.
I can not dictate HOW I believe a verse or symbol should move you, or inspire you. Nor can I dictate the validity of your particular inspiration, regardless if "correct" or not. One may get a vision of Nuit from a symbol of Hadit, but if the vision itself is of universal worth and use, does it matter?
Perhaps these subjective choices are the subjective "keys" that open up meaning for an individual leading to a very objective solution.

Subjective choices:
A. Taking the "sheets" to be the Tarot.
Someone has to make a subjective choice to what these "sheets" are. How can anyone avoid this? Besides, my idea is the same as others far greater than myself in knowledge.
B. Taking "right to left and top to bottom" as outline of a graph. How is that unreasonable, if not perfectly logical?
C. Interpreting the SYMBOL of a circle with a cross inside as ROTA (Tarot 22), & 4 elements. Also it inspiring the idea of adding (even reducing) the "circle" of cards.
D. Why couldnt it be taken as legitimate to have "Abrahadabra" in this context suggest uniting the 5 & 6 divisions of these cards or "circle squared"?
C. Following logically the graph outline suggested, why is it unjustified to add these cards?
D. Why isnt it enough justification to reduce and mirror this graph outline simply because all the above led me to try? Or that the words "right to left and top to bottom" gave ME a further idea of reflecting each side? Or the word "behold" to investigate?
How are the above personal inspirations that I derived from the "keys" given (and for a reason) reason to reject the results I obtain, that further fit verses? I.e. "foursquare, mystic, wonderful, the number of the man (666), and the name of thy house 418".
A Tablet foursquare 666, and cross 418, inspired BY "keys" given in Liber Al, unjustified because it would ask others to accept HOW I came to those inpirations for my methods?
Doesnt make sense, and precludes many others ideas arrived at the same way as well. Magick IS subjective.

"How can we exclude a solution simply because others would be required to accept the subjective choices of its originator?
"Begs the question of what a solution is.
It's like saying, "How can we exlude a mathematical formula just because it doesn't make any sense unless you're a Christian?"
If I have to be Christian for a mathematical formula to make sense, it isn't a mathematical formula.
If I have to place faith in the person who solved a riddle instead of being able understand it, I have no business giving importance to riddles.

A solution is of course the answer to a problem. In this case, the answer to the riddles hidden in Liber Al, specifically the secret of the pasting of the sheets, and the English Qabalah. In addition making sense to many other mysterious verses, that point to a hidden answer.
Im not sure I get your analogy, the "mathmatical formula" aka my theory (method), doesnt require a change in belief systems. Your a Thelemite. Im a Thelemite. You understand the fundamental concepts of Qabalah, and Thelemic and magical theory and techniques, as I do, and probably better.
Therefore, this does not require one to abandon "Thelemic" or "magical" reason or points of view etc. But simply to accept the individual inspiration that LED to a process (formula) that further leads to a reasonable answer.
Do you feel, besides the subjective choices, that the system/theory itself is flawed or unworkable somehow? That IT alone, forgetting about HOW it was derived, has no merit or worth? If so, how or what are your reasons?
Otherwise, I am stumped how you justify rejecting ANY solution that is valid, simply based on how particular symbols influenced another.
Your not placing faith in a person. Of course Awaiss etc., works through us, directing us. IF a solution comes, its not from that personality or person, but as you said, thier Higher Genius or HGA, right? Wouldnt ANY solution come from a person? Look at Frater Achad! You accept AL as the universal key to the Book of the Law dont you?

"93 Bereshith,
Thank you. Yes, I agree, as I state at the beginning, its up to every individual to ultimately decide. Im not here to "declare" anything other than a possible solutuon.
My "argument" was simply on the assertion any solution that "requires one to accept anothers subjective choices" should be tossed out.
I was qualifying a "valid" & reasonable/plausable solution as still viable REGARDLESS of how the symbols etc., inspired them.
IF a technique unfolds from that inspiration - that is valid in its own right, yielding a plausable answer, it should be condidered.
I feel, this idea here is of that caliber.
However, I whole heartedly agree with you, one should only accept what they understand, and use descretion.

"Hey Daegal, I was thinking over your work this morning and I had a sudden flash of inspiration about 666. When we work in base 7 - the Septenary - then 666 is the highest number of the hundreds before 1000. I was wondering if the English Qabalah isn't meant to work in Base 10 but in Base 7? Or maybe base 8... as 777 too seems to have a lot of significance to Crowley - the seal of Babalon etc. The point is these two values, being at the end of each base's hundred values, are a bit like values for something that is the most fully manifested. Like an Amen!
666 is the fully manifested Solar Energy. 777 is the fully manifested Temple. etc.
Just a thought!
Btw - I very much agree with you about how personal intuition and inspiration lead to solutions of general significance. Issac Newton had a personal experience with an Apple falling on his head that lead to the Theory of Gravity... but some of the guys around here at the moment would have told him he was rubbish and wrong and shouldn't have given the apple falling on his head any significance. Then they probably would have asked him for citations for his theory of Gravity too!
Respect!"
Hello Dar,
93
Thank you for the thought. However, as you say for your theory, its not US that decides lol. What I mean by that is; most of this theory Im displaying is already there. Or it "feels" like it is. So, the letters already have values, arrived at by simply reducing the "order" numbers. I try not to "fiddle" with anything too much.
I try to stay away from methods such as "D = Daleth, and Daleth is the Empress thus Venus, and so D = 7." Etc., because THAT is just me threshing out connections. Arbitrary, and not concrete. And if a theory is built solely on that sort of "subjective reasoning" then its shaky.
Others can do that, with even my system, on their own for personal exploration & insights.
So, your idea is interesting, but if its not already evident, I cant "change" it to reflect a particular base, or what have you.
Its interesting that, before I discovered this idea, (formula), I revered the number 93. I found it shocking, and curious when I found all the relevent numbers somewhere in this Tablet; 666,418,56,31,25,26,14,5,6,0 - but NOT a 93 anywhere! Wasnt what I expected. I feel somehow thats good, that it DIDNT have, in a lot of ways what I expected or wanted.
A lot is out of MY hands. Pasting these sheets etc., doing a little adding, thats pretty much IT. I feel more like im simply assembling a peice of furniture from Ikea - following a set of directions than deciding anything.
Respect.

I thought I should clarify a few aspects, and add further to this theories use of the "keys" of verse 3.47, and justification on how they were interpreted and applied.
- "this line drawn"
Describing how the line was drawn, is the key. Notice the verse says "this line drawn", using the word "drawn" seems to - well draw attention to it.
If we use a pages sides as our reference points, we could say:
"left to right and top to bottom" &
"right to left and bottom to top."We could say "diagonally, left to right", however I feel Awaiss knew once the diviner realized the simularity, they would "get it", and know what words were meant to inspire.
It hints at both English, and a flipping of the pasting of the sheet arrangement. Which, at this step is "failing" to be squared.
- The "circled squared", points out to use the English to propely square it.
The "circle squared in its failure" has many layers of meaning, however, all link to 26.
The first clue of this symbol, is its definite relation to the number 26, and hence an additional hint at the English Alphabet, elswhere mentioned in Liber Al.
David Allen Hulse, in his book entitled "The Key of it All", mentions this number and its relationship to the squaring of the circle:
"The Squaring of the Circle. As the Hermetic mathmatical puzzle of the squaring of the circle, 26 is the value of the circle and the square combined: the circle is 22 (in light of pi being 22/7) while the square is 4. Thus the circle and square conjoined is 26. This numbering also applies to any symbol combining a circle with
a cross (which is also valued at 4)."Sub layer: Hidden justification for the method of mirroring & reducing?
Among all these clues, is perhaps another describing the method of reducing & mirroring the graph. The circle is the cards, ROTA, the wheel that surrounds the "cross". The cross could be seen as all four sides of the Tablet, equalibriated. If we look at the glyph this way, the cross unites four sides of this "circle", a mirror of a macrocosmic set, and a macrocosmic set. Could this "wheel" turn? Or is the cross a symbol of equalibriating each square with its opposite? Its possible, and either way it inspired the idea in me to experiment, as I feel the word "behold", found at the end of verse 3:73 implies.
The cross, also of course suggests addition if taken as a "plus sign". The circle around this addition sign then could then describe using addition with the cards, and why would experimentation in adding in various ways be excluded? Reducing is taking addition to its final limit, and a cross could be taken as a symbol of reducing as well, as Hadit, the infinitely contracting rood.
The cross also suggests the reflection, as a mirrored graph because a cross is a mirror. Each arm a reflection of an opposite polarity, East vs. West, North - South etc. Again, its possible, and either way, I dont feel its too much of a stretch to see this as a seed of inspiration.
In the end, it works, and so there can be said, at least in some respect, "success". Success in terms of a valid, functional system, that produces instantly important Thelemic numbers, as well as being congruent with various Thelemic ideas and verses.
Lastly, Abrahadabra fits in perfectly with these symbols interpretation, staying in line with both the ideas of 26, and the Rose Cross. It is in fact an ideal symbol to end these three clues, as it reflects the actual function and over all purpose of the Tablet, the prior clues describe.

I believe one of the strongest arguements for this theory is the Tablets "foursquare" arrangment of the number 666, and its cross being 418. To me, its blantantly described, and foretold in verse 2.78 Here Jim Eshelman comments upon this verse, and the mysterious "foursquare";
"He is advised that 'they shall worship thy name, foursquare, mystic, wonderful, the number of the man. ' The last phrase, from the Book of Revelations, makes clear that the name is 666. It has always seemed important to me that To Mega Therion’s name bore 'the number of a man, ' for, like few other prophets of note, he was emphatically a man, a man among men.
How this number is 'foursquare' I do not know. I vaguely recognize this phrase as a very old phrase. I should perform a concordance search for a Biblical usage.
Done; but with no exciting results. 'Foursquare' appears ten times in the King James Version of the Bible, the last time in Revelations 21:16. Most of the occurrences are in Exodus. Both the Tabernacle in the Wilderness and the New Jerusalem were described as 'foursquare, ' the Greek of which is tetragonos ('four-sided'), and the Hebrew of which is rabah; but nowhere do I find a phrase equivalent to the one used here in CCXX 2:78. I now suspect it refers to the Kamea of Sol which inherently declares the Name 666.
'They' shall also worship 'the name of thy house 418. ' Crowley interpreted this to mean Boleskine (BVLShKYN) = 418. I think this interpretation is convenient at best. I believe the answer is more universal. First of all, 418 = Cheth, Cancer, ruled by the Moon. is Leo, Teth = 419, correspondent to the Sun. Cancer and the Moon clearly fill the bill as 'the house' of the Sun and, in fact, ideas of house and home are commonly attributed to Cancer in astrology.
'House' is, of course, BYTh = 412. The phrase 'thy house' is BYThH = 417; but 'his house' is BYThV = 418. (This is much more satisfying to me than AC’s forced BYTh ABBA.)
The idea of a 'holy house, ' which also comes up in that way in Cap. III, is likely, ultimately, to be an allusion to similar points in the Fama Fraternitatis.
On examining the N.C. for v. 77, I chuckle to see that AC commenced with precisely the same points of Qabalistic analysis as did I.
'thy name' =ShMH, an anagram (temurah) of both ha-Shem (HShM), 'the Name [of Tetragrammaton], ' and of Mosheh (MShH), 'Moses. ' Its value is 345. AC reinforces an idea I failed to emphasize above, that it is his name that will be worshipped — 666 and all that it means — not Crowley himself.
Regarding 'foursquare': This is verse 144, or 12 x 12. This number brings forth many ideas from the Apocalypse, where these are the key numbers representing the dimensions of the New Jerusalem — which, in turn, is a symbol of the microcosm of the human body. See also T.'.O.'.T.'."
Crowleys comment upon the same verses seems even more pertinent:
"II:77 Thou the prophet had in a way at this time identified himself with the number 666, he considered the magic square drawn therefrom rather silly and artificial, if indeed it had yet been devised, on which point he is uncertain. The true Square is as follows: (It follows when it is discovered)."
What magic "Square"? Did he know of another secret magical square for 666? Could it be this foursquare 666 Tablet? He continues with the comment below on verse II:78;
"II:78 There are certain occult wonders concealed in the first part of this text (see Liber CCCLXX). The solution of the last sentence may depend upon the number of the verse, which is Mezla, the Influx from the Highest, and of the Book of Thoth, or Tarot."
I Think its prertty damn significant when he specifically relates the possible connection of the last sentence of the verse - "They shall worship thy name, foursquare, mystic, wonderful, the number of the man, and the name of thy house 418" to the Tarot!
That is in fact EXACTLY true, the Tablet produced having four 36 sub-quadrants totalling 666, and a central cross totalling 418, DO involve a solution using the Book of Thoth! I find this very convincing as an arguement, and justification for this proposed solutions objective truth.

Tabulation II. The second enumeration method displaying the numerical arrangement in the squares that distinguish the divisions of the Tablet. The elemental quadrants are colored according to its element, each totalling 666. The white central cross is attributed to Spirit and totals to 418.
http://i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u564/daegal93/ThelemicTablet_zpsb744a57f.jpg
This is not the final appearance, just a generalization of divisions with the numerical foundation. The final rendition has of course letters within the center of the squares, and each side of the truncated pyramids are attributed colors of the two blended Tarot cards, as well as the various elemental mixtures. This gives just an over view of the general layout.

THE NAILS OF THE HOUSE & ABRAHADABRA
Here is a further note on the symbolic significance of the three numbers of enumeration method 2.
Tabulation II, generates four solar gates and a central cross, distinguished by their significant totals. It does this as already pointed out through the use of only three numbers: 5,14,23.
All these can be reduced to the number 5. These numbers also, if taken as the new English letter order, spell FOX, which if related to both Hebrew and Greek letters total 666. In fact if we reduce 5,14,23 and take the reduced outcome of 5 as a Trump number we get the Hierophant - which is attributed to the Hebrew letter Vav (6).
If every square then, has a number reducing to 5, it is possible to say the whole Tablet is filled with "nails", which symbolises union. Abrahadabra is to be hung upon these nails, which acts as a guardian of the Temple so to speak - the "reward" of Ra Hoor Khut.
We could also see, if we take each of these numbers as their Hebrew & Greek equivalents (according to the related English), all numbers upon the Tablet can be reduced to 6 as well. The whole Tablet can be found to then reduce easily to either a 5 or 6, another way it reflects the Great Work and the H.G.A.
5,14,23 reduce to 5. 5 = Trump V. The Heirophant = Vav 6.
Paul Foster Case says of the letter Vav; "In Hebrew, the letter Vav is the equivalent of the English 'and.' Thus the grammatical use of the letter is derived directly from its literal meaning. The conjunction 'and' links together a series of nouns describing various objects, as, 'apples and pears and lemons.' It also introduces dependent clauses in a sentence. In Hebrew, the letter Vav is used in precisely the same way. Thus, like a nail, it binds the parts of a sentence together, and clauses or phrases introduced by it hang from it, like pictures supported by hooks driven into a wall."
This is significant, because besides the obvious symbology of the Great Work, this is a hidden clue to the the letters that go upon the face of this Tablet, which would be the obvious last aspect completing the Enochian style structure.
The last clue given along with the "line drawn" & "circled squared" was Abrahadabra. This last clue, is in fact the last aspect of the Tablet, not just as a general summation if the whole function, but a final hidden clue revealing what letters go upon the face of this Tablet. The real clue to this is in how this last clue is cleverly worded; "And Abrahadabra." It is phrased as its own seperate little sentence - two words "And", and "Abrahadabra." As you can see above from the quote of Case, "and" is the conjunction of the Hebrew letter Vav, union, a nail.
Taking this in the context of the other clues given in this verse, and if this is the correct meaning of these symbols, which I feel there is ample evidence to support, this last clue then could say "hang Abrahadabra upon the nails." The whole Tablet, every square can be found as a 5, and so a 6, and so a nail, upon which we hang the word of the Aeon, which perfectly symbolises the function of the Tablet.
Keep this idea in mind when reading the first two verses of the third chapter:
III:1. Abrahadabra; the reward of Ra Hoof Khut.
III:2. There is division hither homeward; there is a word not known. Spelling is defunct; all is not aught. Beware! Hold! Raise the spell of Ra-Hoor-Khuit!"
We have already established how this Tablet can be related to a "house" or a "palace", and these two verses seem to point to the idea aimed at a house, obviously in the word "homeward", but even in the first verse and in regard to the word "reward", as Crowley points out this could mean to "re guard" or to "guard again" as Abrahadabra acting as a sentinal to the fortress.
Any letters upon the face of this Tablet, just as they do in the Enochian Tablets, act as a sort of "guard", as the words of power that unlock the treasures hidden in the Tablet. Looking at it as such, we can also see how it is also indeed a"reward." These letters are what form various names that unlock the various squares, so taking this into consideration, looking at Abrahadabra in this light, the verses make sense.
The first problem that pops up when we think of this idea is the fact Abrahadabra has 11 letters, and the Tablet has 13 x 13 squares or holes to put it in. How do we resolve that problem? Again, verse III:2 seems to speak to this problem, saying "there is division hither homeward; there is a word not known. Spelling is defunct; all is not aught." Abrahadabra is composed of 5 different letters, and coincedentally the Tablet has 5 divisions. If we break up Abrahadabra into its component parts, then the verse starts to make sense yet again. The words "division hither homeward" then easily can be seen as Abrahadabra being divided up in regard to this secret house or palace of Ra Hoof Khuit. Of course, doing this "spelling" becomes "defunct", or no longer functional.
We shouldn't ignore the use of the word "spelling", as a further hint at Abrahadabras role in this Tablet. Just as the Enochian letters play a vital role in the Enochian systems "spell-casting", so then would the word Abrahadabra. By breaking up this word, and placing it in a special manner upon the Tablet, we enable one to use it in ritual using the Tablet.
Last, notice that the verse says "Beware! Hold! Raise the spell of Ra-Hoor-Khuit!" The words "Raise the spell of Ra-Hoor-Khuit" is now effectively 13 spaces, as we have 11 letters (same as in Abrahadabra) and two dashes now added. Notice in the first verse III:1. the name "Ra Hoor Khut" has no dashes and is missing a letter "I". This is significant, in that it symbolises the condition of one guarded against, outside the palace, or house of Ra Hoor Khuit, compared to the latter name including the "I" (Ra-Hoor-Khuit). Of course, the other significance is the additional dashes are only included latter, after there is "division" & "spelling is defunct", effectively turning the "spell" into 13. Another subtle and layered clue to the solution of "And Abrahadabra." The "word not known" can then be referring to this Tablet as a whole, where Abrahadabra is to play a vital role, and also hints at the new "words", or formula this process of weaving the word creates.
I will go into how we weave this spell of Abrahadabra onto the Tablet soon, if, as I said before there is interest. I an reluctant to reveal this last step, which becomes a bit more detailed if no one is really willing to read it.

Dar,
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
You actually bring up a subject that I was planning to add here. You hit the NAIL on the head.
- There is a word to say about the Hierophantic task. Behold! there are three ordeals in one, and it may be given in three ways. The gross must pass through fire; let the fine be tried in intellect, and the lofty chosen ones in the highest. Thus ye have star & star[,] system & system[;] let not one know well the other.
[Just a side note; it seems to me this world "Behold!" may be a hidden reference to this whole Tablet thing. We often see it here and there mysteriously, and relates to Heh & this 5.]
There are basically THREE enumeration methods. The first is the general graph, right to left and top to bottom using 0 - 25. This gives us the Tabulation starting with 13 and ending in 37, which sort of swirl or zigzag. The Second is the reduced "mirrored" version, that gives us the 666 & 418. However the THIRD is done the exact same as the second EXCEPT we do not reduce. If we mirror the graph and add all sides for every square we get:

50 50 50 50 50 50 50 50 50 50 50 50 50This tabulation I haven't gotten into yet, but notice the number of the verse you point out, 50. Here all reduces to Death, Nun 50, Scorpio.
Each quadrant now 36 x 50 = 1800 (36x5 = 180 = 18) each reduce to 18, The Moon. Notice this is the total of the quarter that is a square of the Sun.
Central cross 13x13 = 13 x 50 = 650 (65) 650 + 650 = 1300 (13). Significance obvious.
One of the functional methods of this Tablet which ill go into as well, is how the names work on the Tablet, although I'm getting a little ahead of myself here, ill say there are "twins", names horizontal and vertical. Each square is ruled by two names (or two that combine into one) a macrocosmic vertical name, and a horizontal microcosmic name.
This means in each of the four quadrants there is technically a 6 lettered vertical name, and a 5 lettered horizontal name (5&6). Adding then the 50 for these we get 50 x 11 = 550 (55). Each name of 6 then is 300 (my word is 6 and 50).
Each 5 lettered name in the Spirit Tablet, is 5 x 50 = 250 (25).
Of course, yet again, all reduce to 5. The number of Force, or energy. It goes on and on, seeing that there is so much more to say about the relevence of 50 to the Death card, and Nun, and 6.
Thank you for your observation and suggestion. I feel no one really sees all this but me, and I'm little down because of that. Is this all some "illusion"? Anyway, Thank you, and I appreciate any feedback.
Love is the law, love under Will.
