TUTULU

What, with your handle you're asking us? LOL
As Liber Lapis Lazuli says in Cap. VII, vv. 6-8:
"6. We know why all is hidden in the stone, within the coffin, within the mighty sepulchre, and we too answer Olalam! Imal! Tutulu! as it is written in the ancient book.
- Three words of that book are as life to a new aeon; no god has read the whole.
- But thou and I, O God, have written it page by page. "
Chapter VII was the one I memorized as a Neophyte, so, once upon a time, I spent quite a bit of time thinking about those words. I'm pretty sure that nothing earth-shattering came out of all of that thinking
Now, one fairly obvious part of this is that the three words have the initials OIT, so they are an elucidation on the Table of OIT (see Liber 418 etc.). But an even more obvious comment is that the text speaks of their ineffability.
Now, by straight Hebrew transliteration, TUTULU = 66, which has a very great deal to say (especially things consistent with the Teth beginning). But, again, as the text infers, there is an immeasurable amount (it always felt to me like entire universes) in even the individual letters
Was there a specific question?

What is the Table of OIT? Are you referring to the first line of the central tablet(for lack of a proper name) of the Magical Table?
"Now, by straight Hebrew transliteration, TUTULU = 66, which has a very great deal to say (especially things consistent with the Teth beginning)."
I believe I am missing the connections between 66 & Teth. Are you referring to Liber 66 & Atu XI?

Yes. It's mentioned in various aethyrs of Liber 418 also.

That's one good place to start. A purely numerical correlation also is that 66 is the sum of the first 11 (= XI) numbers. In general, 66 - especially in the Latin Qabalah Simplex, but also in other associations - is an enormously important solar-stellar-serpentine number scintillating with magical power.

This word appears in the call OLALAM IMAL TUTULU which occurs in Liber Lapis Lazuli. It's not without interest in my opinion that this call also contains LAM and its reversal MAL.
The word TUTULU also appears in the 27th Aethyr of Crowley's The Vision and the Voice, as being amongst several utterences heard from the Angel of that Aethyr. In the first such utterance, again there are a couple of occurrences of the word LAM, always with other syllables. One such occurrence is LAMA.
Crowley did offer a translation of the Angelic utterence in which TUTULU occurs, but says that this particular word cannot be translated, and of course refers to the call from Liber Lapis Lazuli.
There's a short chapter on this word in Kenneth Grant's book Outer Gateways, drawing possible parallels with Cthulhu, drawing attention to the enumeration of 66 as being the sum of the numbers in the series 1...11, and of course noting its occurrence in Liber Lapis Lazuli. Grant also suggests that the word might be translated as 'Who Shall Attain'.
Best wishes,
Michael.

In Liber Stellae Rubeae as well as The 2nd Aethyr is given an invocation in Moon language. In the fourth & fifth lines of the first stanza is given the phrase "Tu fu tulu!" which translates to "Who Will shall attain!". If 'fu'(Will) is removed then what remains is 'Tu tulu'. Might we be able to assume that 'TUTULU' could mean "Who shall attain" - possibly implying 'He who shall attain'?

Oh jeez.
"Crowley did offer a translation of the Angelic utterence in which TUTULU occurs, but says that this particular word cannot be translated, and of course refers to the call from Liber Lapis Lazuli."
Now see, why would people want to translate an 'Angelic utterence' which is ineffable? Its about on par with translating/altering the Barbarous names.

LOL again.
