"What's the sources of mystic numbers ?
Also 231? 78?"
Mystic numbers can be found in 777 Col. X. They are power series of the Sephiroth and paths.
231 is the power series from 0-21 and also mystic number of Atu XXI. It symbolizes all of the Atu. It is also a number of the Qliphoth. See Liber 231 and Nightside.
78 is the number of Aiwaz and Mezla, the mystic number of Atu I, and is 6 * 13 and 2 * 39. 78 cards in the Tarot.

"Referenced 777, all the numbers you listed from column X are completely off. explanation?"Make sure you are looking by the Path number, not the Atu. The one that is different is Atu XVII which is swapped with Atu IV."
Or just use 776 1/2 where these are all sorted out correctly.

"I haven't bought that book yet, but based on other things I've read, you should buy it for other reasons. As far as tables of correspondence, you should do the G.'.D.'. thing and sort it out for yourself and add to it as your grow. That is, do as i have done (not just as i have said) and have a composition book with your own corrected tables.
But still, we should buy Jim's book.

Thanks. I always wondered why thelemapedia didn't have that corrected.... (seems to be pretty glaring with Crowley's tarot interp. TSADE IS NOT THE STAR. REPEAT) As an Aquarius, I find humor here.

Thats it. I'm not sure if it is an error in 777 or a purposeful blind for academics who cannot transcend. Because if you go strictly by mathematics and power series, it makes 'rational' sense. The change is supra-rational.

Quite right on the method. I have many journals filled, with many more to fill, be it the Will of the Eternal n(O)ne. The best library is full of books you write yourself. Aspirants will need a good supply of journals, they can be inexpensive. Or practice the ancient art of bookmaking and make the journals with your own hands. Number the pages, and leave room for a table of contents at the beginning, and a numbers and term index at the end. Fill in the content and update the contents and indexes accordingly as you do the Work. The Work should be neat and orderly, not haphazard and scrawled about. A regular pen and a fine tip pen are useful for writing and making footnotes with the fine tip. Label each journal, maybe with a number or some other description, as you will want to find these quickly and possibly reference them in other journals. Have some liquid paper on hand, mistakes will happen, and should be corrected but in an orderly way. A ruler is handy for making tables and squares and symbols. Jim's book is a fine reference book, but the best books are the ones you write. Besides, a day may come when we can't google our arcana or order books and need to do the Work the old fashioned way by necessity.
