Clarification on ABRHD
-
93
I was hoping for a bit of information on the five letters of Abrahadabra. The five letters that make up the word seem to be given elemental qualities; AC says "A, the Crown, B, the Wand, D, the Cup, H, the Sword, and R the RC". Ive asked before, but am still confused. Can anyone explain the significance of specifically these five letters and AC's comments in regards to the apparent elemental symbols?

That was an early note - very early - before he realized that Heh is not Aries/Emperor.
But, at the time, he was saying: Aleph (Air) = Crown, Beth (Mercury) = Wand (as in Caduceus), Daleth (Venus) = Cup (as feminine idea broadly = yoni), Heh (Aries, as then thought) = Sword (a Mars idea), and Resh (The Sun) = the Rosy Cross lamen (self-evident).
More broadly... they represent many things. There's no one formula or translation. It's a large formula capable of diverse implementation. One of my favorites is a treatment in Liber Aleph in which he pointed out that the four distinct consonants are the letters of Venus, Mercury, and the Sun - a straight path inward from Earth - anchored outwardly by the Stars (Heh = Aquarius). This leads to several useful mystical and magical applications.
Broadly, the 5 As vs. the 6 consonants make the structure or the word. Among the things you can do is to read A as the life-breath flowing through the pattern created by the other letters.
