Peculiar gematria for a word
-
I came across the word παροδικός (parodikos), an adjective which translates as transient, and equals 555. At first I was considering it as a motto and it struck a stong chord in me, but after giving it more thought I have mixed feelings about it.
What I find so peculiar is the connection 555 has with Hadit. My understanding of Hadit is that he is motion, enery, and the act of going; which I think makes sense for the word if it were a noun, but it is an adjective. The problem I find with this is that Hadit is permanent and perpetual change, not fleeting or ephemeral change. Hadit is not a flame that goes out. I am curious as to know any of your thoughts on the matter. Here are some of my notes for the number 555:
555 = The Magical Number of the Pentagram or Pentalpha which is composed of 5 A’s. A is Aleph in Hebrew, and Aleph spelled in full is 111. 5x111=555=HAD spelled in full. Thus the Pentagram is a symbol of HAD (Hadit), the flame that burns in every heart of man and in the core of every Star.

I'm always impressed by gematria, and have a lot of appreciation for what you've unraveled. I will say that I also think of Hadit as the unmoving center of the Wheel, as the infinitesimal. Your definition brings to mind Liber AL II.9: "Remember all ye that existence is pure joy; that all the sorrows are but as shadows; they pass & are done; but there is that which remains."
Also, I checked Liddell & Scott's lexicon, and thought I'd try my own hand at fleshing out some of the numerological correspondences. I've not really done this before, and it was quite interesting.
The noun πάροδος is defined as, "a by-way, passage … 2. A going by, passing. II. A side-entrance, a narrow entrance or approach… III. A coming forward, esp. before the assembly to speak… 2. The first entrance of the chorus, their first song.” If I've done this correctly, it adds to 773, which reduces to 17 = 8. The noun παροδίτης means “a passer-by, wayfarer.” It also adds to 773. Note Liber AL II.15: "For I am perfect, being Not; and my number is nine by the fools; but with the just I am eight, and one in eight: Which is vital, for I am none indeed. The Empress and the King are not of me; for there is a further secret."
The ancient verb form is παροδεύω, meaning “to pass by” or “to go past.” It adds to 1460, which reduces to 11. Note Liber AL II.16: "I am The Empress & the Hierophant. Thus eleven, as my bride is eleven."
παροδικός is not in the lexicon, so I would presume it was not used by the ancients and is a more modern term.
I hope the above adds some color for you. I think you can view the translation to "transient," as the quality of a transient person, i.e. wayfarer. Or perhaps even a Hermit.
Note Liber AL II.24: "Behold! these be grave mysteries; for there are also of my friends who be hermits...."On a lark, I check to see if, "parody," shares the root, but found that it does not.
Love is the law, love under will.

Thank you for the input. I had never used Liddell & Scott's lexicon, and now that I have discovered it, it is infinitely useful.
I found this interesting correspondance in William Sterling's The Canon for any of those who are familiar with the Holy Oblation of Ezekiel:
"The name Sphinx has the value of 773, or the perimeter of the Holy Oblation taking the sun's distance at 10. St. Clement (“Miscell.,” bk. v., ch.8 ) says,“The sphinx is not the comprehension of the universe, and the revolution of the world, according to the poet Aratus . . . But it is better to regard it as the Ether, which holds together and presses all things.” By gematria Sphinx is equivalent to Syrinx, the pipe of seven reeds shown in the hand of Pan (fig.25). And doubtless her well-known riddle, whose answer was a Man, mystically adumbrated the Microcosm whose body is measured by the number 773."
