My Magickal Name
-
I have a question. I was considering the Magickal name Valiscephala, Valisefala, or some other permutation of that word, but I cant understand the charts in 777, and to be honest, 776 1/2 isnt that much help either. What I want to know is- is the word Valiscephala qabbalistically significant? what does it add up to?

Did I include this word in 776 1/2? If so, it's slipping my mind. I don't recognize it at all. Where did it come from? Does it show in a specific table in 777 and/or 776.5? Please give context.

No,no, I made it up as far as I can see. I just used a combination of the name Valis as in the entity that got in Philip K Dicks mind for 20 odd years and cephala as in like cephalization. I thought that I could look up the letters in 777 or 776 1/2, and see if there was any numerical significancem, but thats not as as easy as I assumed. Also, as long as Im here, why does this forum automatically edit my spelling of Magick?

I think what you're asking is how to figure out its enumeration??
Basically Hebrew Greek and Latin have a gematria associated with them. There's lots of threads here about it. There's also a school of thought that will take English words and put the English letters into the nearest Hebrew form, even though that is NOT the same as translating English into Hebrew- so Valis might be transcribed as Vav-Aleph-Lamed-Yod-Samekh, or something like that.
You'd need to play around with the alphabets. Cephal- is a Greek stem, I believe. Valis "sounds" Latin. IMHO you'd just want to take the English letters, put them into Hebrew in various ways (like would you choose Beth or Vav for V in Valis??), add them up and see what happens.
