Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
When investigating the possibility of concealed Qabalistic symbolism in The Book of the Law, we do well to begin with the words of the Text:
II:55- “Thou shalt obtain the order & value of the English Alphabet; thou shalt find new symbols to attribute them unto.”
II:76- “4 6 3 8 ABK 2 4 ALGMOR 3 Yx 24 89 RPSTOVAL. What meaneth this, o prophet? Thou knowest not; nor shalt thou know ever. There cometh one to follow thee: he shall expound it. But remember, o chosen one, to be me; to follow the love of Nu in the star-lit heaven; to look forth upon men, to tell them this glad word.”
III:47- “This book shall be translated into all tongues: but always with the original in the writing of the Beast; for in the chance shape of the letters and their position to one another: in these are mysteries that no Beast shall divine. Let him not seek to try: but one cometh after him, whence I say not, who shall discover the Key of it all. Then this line drawn is a key: then this circle squared in its failure is a key also. And Abrahadabra. It shall be his child & that strangely. Let him not seek after this; for thereby alone can he fall from it.”
These 3 Verses of Liber Legis have long inspired
speculation and controversy among Thelemites, all the
way back to the first, Frater Perdurabo himself. He
first claimed to have solved the question of an
English Qabalh with Liber Trigrammaton, written in
1907. In later years he would hail Frater Achad’s
discovery of the 31 Key, and the resulting LAShTAL
formula, as the fulfillment of the prophecy, only to
retract this endorsement as Achad’s deficiencies and
hubris became apparent; though it should be noted that
Frater P. always affirmed the validity of the 31 Key
itself. He would later attempt to solve the riddle by
way of phonetics, but was again unsatisfied with his
results, as evidenced from this quote from Magick
Without Tears, published in 1943, four years before
his death: "The Book of the Law itself insists upon
the fact that it contains a Qabalah which was beyond
me at the time of its dictation, is beyond me now, and
always will be beyond me in this incarnation."
Since Crowley’s death there have been thousands
of attempts to decode an English gematria as
prophesied in the Text. These speculations reflect
the initiations of their creators, and thus vary
greatly in their worth. Some, such as the
Trigrammaton English Qabalah of R.L. Gillis and the
work of Frater A.M.O. among others, are quite
interesting and worthy of study. Others have blatant
flaws. I was drawn to the study of these systems long
before I began independent research, intuiting that an
English gematria decrypted from Liber Legis would give
English a power of expressing the truths of the Holy
Qabalh analogous to the majestic symmetry of the
Hebrew language, and would be an invaluable tool for
the advancement of Western esoteric science.
I thus approached the problem as one that might
have already been solved: I was open to the
possibility that one of the existing o&v systems might
have been the one intended by Aiwaz. None of them
that I came across at the time, however, convincingly
solved the riddles of II:76 and III:47; nor did they
resonate true to me as does Hebrew. I therefore
deemed it neccesary for my continued initiation to
decipher the code for myself. Here follows an account
of the discovery, penned 2 weeks after the Lux finally
dawned, while it was still fresh in my mind:

Origins:
This cipher is encoded in the graph page of Liber AL
vel Legis, original manuscript, page 16 of chapter 3,
comprising most of Verse III:47.
The code was unlocked via the following keys:
1) The 8X10 graph itself.
2) The horizontal line of 8 letters.
3) The vertical line of 10 numbers.
4) The line drawn through center of page indicates A as the beginning of the sequence.
5) The Circle squared in its failure indicates X as the end of the sequence, and provided a clue about the numerical values.
6) Abrahadabra =418 by Hebrew gematria provided the final clue to the numerical values.
Proofs:
Liber Al vel Legis, II:76-
4, 6, 3, 8, ABK, 2, 4, ALGMOR, 3, Y, X, 24, 89,
RPSTOVAL
Equals 418 by simple addition.
Thelema =93.
I began working on this decryption in either March or April of 2002. I was originally drawn to the problem because it was a puzzle that no one had ever solved to my satisfaction. I began by continuing the sequence of letters on the graph page of 220, original manuscript, page 16 of Chapter 3, (top horizontal line) from A-Z, and numbers (left vertical line) from 1-26 that was begun in the original text. I then began looking at the clues provided in the words of verse III: 47:
"Then this line drawn is a key: then this circle squared in its failure is a key also. And Abrahadabra."
At first I was obsessed by the fact that the line drawn defines a space of 26 or 27 letters, depending on whether you count its topmost extension. I thought perhaps these 26 squares contained the alphabet code, but there was a major problem with this approach: 20 letters appeared once, 3 (A,S,K) appeared twice, and 3 (F,N,V) appeared not at all.
I tried everything I could think of to get a coherent sequence from this theory; it felt like beating my brain against a brick wall until it was bloody and disoriented. So I let go of my attempt. I gave my research books and notes to Frater G.S. and moved to New Orleans, moved back to Arkansas, did some migrant labor in Illinois, and finally back to Arkansas again.
My return to the code was inspired by the Scarlet Woman N., who loved logic puzzles and was always scribbling on graph paper. I couldn't resist showing her the grid page of Liber Legis as the ultimate word puzzle. She could not solve it, being at that time unversed in Qabalh of any kind, but she did make many helpful suggestions. This return to the project occurred in December of 2002.
My illumination as to the true beginning of the sequence occurred in the middle of January, 2003. I was contemplating the 3 Keys of the text: the line drawn, the circle squared, and Abrahadabra. Needless to say, I tried out many dead-ends attempting to interpret and implement these Keys. Finally I came across something substantial: a 26 letter sequence wherein all letters are present and there are no repeats (see below). This sequence may be found by beginning from the lowermost end of the Line, an A-square, and going vertically top to bottom, left to right. You will note that technically there is one repeat- the A that occupies the second-to-last space on the grid. Because this square initiates a new letter sequence that is not finished, unlike the other three A's on the graph (3x26=78), I considered it trivia that could be safely ignored.
So I had the order: A,I,Q, etc. For the numerical values, I had an intuition that since 26 may only be divided as 13x2 there should be 2 columns of 13 letters each. Intuition also told me that one of these columns must be devoted to prime numbers. On January 26 of 2003, after Invoking Horus by the word Abrahadabra, I came upon the numerical values as shown above.
That is all that needs to be said about the origins of the key. I have read enough essays by long-winded Thelemites that I don’t want to be one of them. I seek not to convert; let every man and every woman judge this code by its merit and their own inner guidance, as they will.
Love is the law, love under will.

I set the following criteria for judging the validity of my work:
1) The discovery of the Key must follow and/or explain the hints given in III:47.
2) The Word Thelema must translate to a meaningful number.
3) The II:76 string of numbers and letters must translate to a meaningful number, and express an arcanum in the form of a Qabalistic equation.
4) The system must fit coherently onto the Tree of Life and/or some other metasystem of symbolic relations, else it would be a mere numerology, not a Qabalh.
5) The system must provide mathematical formulae that shed light on both the process of initiation and the concealed passages of Liber Legis.
The Toavotea Key as here presented satisfies my personal requirements for a sacred alphabet. It may be nothing more than that: personal, something I created to help me communicate with God more clearly. If it provides meaningful results for others then all the better; as that would be in accord with my will to contribute towards the pursuit of understanding. Regardless, my purpose in sharing the Key publicly is one of open scientific inquiry. I have no will to join the depressingly long list of claimants to the titles of “Beast”, “Child of the Prophet”, etc. This seems to me like ego, and the madness of Chronozon. In one sense, Frater Perdurabo as Magus of the Aeon of Horus is the spiritual father of all Thelemites, thus we are all children of the Beast. In another sense, success is our proof. When the Child of prophecy arrives his presence will be unmistakable. Aiwass is steering the ship, and the thing will take its course. We need not worry or argue about it.
To apply the Key to Chapter 1 of Liber Legis is the primary focus of this writing. Let us now turn to questions of methodology.
Principles of Exegesis
The Book of the Law is a symphony of language, number, and communication. We do not claim this study as a definitive or authorized commentary on the Book, far from it. For that students are referred solely to the writings of Aleister Crowley. That the subject of this research is a Book of infinite dimensions we are also well aware. We make no claim herein to define or contain the message of the Book, for it is without limit. The purpose of this Exegesis is to provide an example of Qabalistic inquiry guided by the methods of science. We thus approach the subject with reverence, seeking only our own will to be worthy students of these mysteries.
Experimental Parameters
For our methodological structure we turn first to the writings of the Beast. In The Equinox of the Gods, revised edition Copyright 1991 {Caliphate} Ordo Templi Orientis, published by New Falcon Publications in 1997, page 128, we find the following concerning principles of Exegesis:
“Wherever
a. The words of the Text are obscure in themselves; where
b. The expression is strained; where
c. The Syntax,
d. Grammar,
e. Spelling, or
f. The use of capital letters present peculiarities; where
g. Non-English words occur; where the style suggests
h. Paronomasia,
i. Ambiguity, or
j. Obliquity; or where
k. A problem is explicitly declared to exist; in all such cases I shall seek for a hidden meaning by means of Qabalistic correspondences, cryptography, or literary subtleties. I shall admit no solution which is not at once simple, striking, consonant with the general plan of the Book; and not only adequate but necessary.”
Since we are working with a numeric key we also add the following:
a. All individual words shall be enumerated by Toavotea Qabalh.
b. Hyphenated words shall be considered both as their sum and their individual components.
c. The numerical values of all complete statements, coherent phrases, titles, and verses shall be recorded.
d. Whenever two or more words or phrases have the same numerical value this shall be recorded.
e. When the numerical value of words or phrases in Liber Legis have correspondences in Hebrew QBLH that strike the researchers as interesting this shall be recorded.
f. We will pay especial attention to any numerical patterns seeming to flow through the Text.
g. All numbers and patterns shall be duly recorded, regardless of their seeming significance or lack thereof. We recognize that much trivial data will thus accrue, but think this not too high a price to pay in pursuit of thoroughness.
I experimented with this key and other Qabalaistic techniques from January of 098 until the time of this writing in May of 100. The results here presented therefore span over a year of enquiry, and no attempt has been made to weave them into a continuous narrative. These reflections were originally presented to the Thelemaic community as internet Libers, and retain their discrete identities in this collection. The essays here issued will be:

Now, without further ado, I present these numbers and words for your listening pleasure.
A Toavotea Decryption of Liber AL vel Legis, II:76
The aim of religion, the method of science: this simple aphorism was intended by Frater Perdurabo to be the foundation of the Work of the Order in the Aeon of Heru-ra-ha. Magick and its sister mysticism are one of humankind’s most ancient and instinctual subjects of study. The Aeon of Isis has become to us a dreamtime, an age of myth, when were performed many wonders of the Art. Osiris divided everything in the mind and culture of man, as He Himself was divided. In the West, magick was driven underground due to Christian dogmatism and persecution, militarism, the repression of women, and the burning of the Great Libraries. Religion, magick, philosophy, science, and art were artificially divorced, where in pagan times they were a unity. Alchemy was the root of scientific inquiry; yet in later centuries the ideology of science rejected investigation of any but the mechanical realm of phenomena, for which it developed a somewhat organized and consistent method of approaching. One of Crowley’s prime insights was that this methodological structure could be gainfully applied to the surviving Wisdom traditions of the world, wherein the Stone of the alchemists was still sought under diverse names.
Qabalh in particular lends itself to a structured approach, as it speaks in the common language of Number where repeatable results may be obtained. Pythagoras taught that numbers are the essential element of the universe, and supported his hypothesis by the fact that numerical patterns dance through all observable existence. The Hebrews developed a similar concept, understanding Number as a language of God. This is attested to by the poetry of the ThORA, most essential of ancient Jewish writings. This book expresses its Truth using multiple techniques including gematria, showing that the roots of QBLH are at least as old as Judaism itself. The later Qabalists became one of the most advanced mystical schools in recorded history, using number theory to develop visionary, meditative, and magickal practices. In Verse 1, Chapter 1 of the Sepher Yetzirah (which Tradition claims to be the esoteric teachings of Abraham), we find Number listed as one of three original forms of divine emanation:
“With 32 mystical paths of Wisdom engraved IH IHVH
XBAVTh
ALHI of Israel
ALHIM CIIM
King of the universe
AL ShDI
Merciful and Gracious
High and Exalted
Dwelling in eternity
Whose Name is Holy
He is lofty and holy-
He created His universe with three Books:
with Writing, with Number, and with Communication”.
Liber Legis (the Thora of Thelema) may be considered a concealed and encoded document having extensive instructions on the investigation of number.
A first step towards decoding it must be obtaining of
the order and value of the English alphabet as
commanded in II:55. This would translate the Book
into numeric language, opening new dimensions of
meaning. Like many others, I became curious about
this puzzle and attempted to solve it. I ended up
with the Toavotea Key, whereby the word “Thelema”
equals 93 and the string of numbers and letters of
II:76 sums to 418. The alphabet code is expressed as
2 columns of 13 letters each, as follows:
A-1~*~ Z-0
I-4~*~ G-2
Q-6~*~ O-3
Y-8~*~ W-5
F-10~*~ E-7
N-12~*~ M-11
V-14~*~ U-13
D-16~*~ C-17
L-18~*~ K-19
T-20~*~ S-23
B-22~*~ H-29
J-24~*~ P-31
R-26~*~ X-28
A numerical Exegesis of the first Chapter of
Liber Legis and information about the origins of the
Key may be found online at:
https://www.angelfire.com/zine2/majik/Exegesis1ToavoteaKey.html
There is a useful gematria calculator at the bottom of the page, with this and at least 8 other EQ systems.
In considering the question of the order and value of the English Alphabet as foretold in the Text, any proposed English Qabalh is a hypothesis. It must be measured against the Book, whose final litmus test is the encoded sequence of Verse 76 of Chapter 2. Let us examine this Verse by Toavotea enumeration, to see what patterns may emerge:
Liber AL vel Legis, II:76
4 6 3 8 (42A B K) 2 4 (61A L G M O R) 3 (36Y X )24 89
(136R P S T O V A L). 55What 87meaneth 76this, 3o 147prophet? 65Thou 89knowest 35not; 41nor 91shalt 65thou 39know 54ever. 89There 87cometh 22one 23to 57follow 63thee: 36he 89shall 110expound 24it. 55But 117remember, 3o 91chosen 22one, 23to 29be 18me; 23to 57follow 56the 42love 13of 25Nu 16in 56the 112(70star-42lit) 70heaven; 23to 43look 88forth 59upon 30men, 23to 63tell 67them 76this 37glad 50word.
Possible Verse Values: 3109 (31x09 =279) with numerals uncounted, 3162
(93x34 =3162, 31+62 =93) with numerals counted as digits, 3252 (542x6) with 24 and 89 counted in full.
Notes:
“4 6 3 8 A B K 2 4 A L G M O R 3 Y X 24 89 R P S T O V A L” equals 418 by simple addition. There are several ways we may analyze this string of numbers and words:
Method 1: 418 being the primary gematria of the encoded sequence, we may profit from from using this number as a key. Concerning the Word Abrahadabra, its Hebrew numeration is 418, which is 38 (note 3+8) x 11. As the Word consists of 11 letters, the number 38 may be considered an elemental root of the Great Work, or House of God, which is expressed by the letters Cheth and Pe, the eight and eighty of Nuit’s formula of nothing in 220, 1:46. 88 is a number of Tahuti or Mercury. The English gematria of Abrahadabra is 146 (note 1+4+6), which numerals are the first three values of the English Alphabet- A, I, & Q. Note that these three letters equal 111 in Hebrew. 73 is the elemental root of 146, and 73 plus the root of 418, 38, also equals 111. It is worthy of note that there is similarity of meaning between the Hebrew words CITH (the letter Cheth, Fence) and SVP (Limit, as in Ain Soph). These 2 words sum to 418 and 146 respectively.
The following words of Liber Legis enumerate to 418:
the consciousness of the continuity = 418
Accursed! Accursed! be it to the aeons =418
will, unassuaged of purpose, delivered = 418
words and signs. Ra Hoor Khuit hath = 418
Ra Hoor Khuit hath taken his seat = 418
floor of that palace is of silver and gold = 418
pure heart, and the Serpent flame = 418
wings, and arouse the coiled splendour = 418
rapturous love song unto me! Burn to me = 418
the blue lidded daughter of Sunset = 418
pure joy that all the sorrows are = 418
I am none indeed. The Empress and the King = 418
of me, for there is a further secret = 418
I am The Empress & the Hierophant = 418
innocence is a lie. Be strong, o man, lust, enjoy = 418
am the secret Serpent coiled about = 418
venom, then is rapture of the earth = 418
the 4: there is a fifth who is invisible = 418
is a fifth who is invisible, therein am I as = 418
thou shalt look upon with gladness = 418
Nu! prophet of Had! prophet of Ra = 418
our agelong love. Come, lift up thine heart = 418
o chosen one, to be me, to follow the love of Nu in = 418
me; to follow the love of Nu in the star lit = 418
your Kiblah for ever. It shall not fade = 418
Ra Hoor Khu is with thee. Worship = 418
Fear not at all fear neither men nor Fates = 418
Abramelin and olive oil and afterward soften = 418
of the moon monthly; then the fresh = 418
or dropping from the host of heaven = 418
is of open brass work, burn thereon = 418
gods and death To tremble before Thee = 418
have made a secret door Into the House of = 418
shall make swift and secure thy pen = 418
laugh at their fear spit upon them = 418
crawl through dusk wet streets = 418
herself in pride. Let her follow me in = 418
with joy with my force shall she see = 418
shall be translated into all tongues = 418
discover the Key of it all. Then this = 418
laugh at their fear, spit upon them = 418
also. And Abrahadabra. It shall be his = 418
fourfold word, the blasphemy against = 418
Method 2) By converting all letters of the string into English numbers we obtain the following code of 42 numbers:
463812219241182113263828248926312320314118.
If these digits be added together they sum to 148, a permutation of 418.
148 is the Hebrew gematria of the the God-Name AHIH IH
IHVH ALHIM,
translated I Am (Will Be) Father and Mother, Tetragrammaton of the Unknowable Synthesis. Other Hebrew words and phrases summing to 148 include BNI ALHIM, The Sons of the Creative God/dess; CMQ, to withdraw into Silence; MAZNIM, the Scales of Justice; and NXC, Victory, the Sephira of the number 7.
Further, the numbers of the 148 sequence may be arranged as 21 2-digit pairs:
46+38+12+21+92+41+18+21+13+26+38+28+24+89+26+31+23+20+31+41+18.
24 and 89, being the only 2-digit numbers in the original sequence as emphasized in the Manuscript, are here considered as pivots for interpreting the stream.
If you sum the numbers up to and including 24 you arrive at 418. If you sum the number pairs from 89 to the end of the sequence you arrive at 279, 93x3, and Hebrew gematria of the magical name of Fr. Omnia Redementur, Aoyn Rysh Tyth. This name was received some 4 years before Fr. O.R. began work on the Toavotea decryption. Should the student will to investigate further he or she may consider that the English gematria of the name is 187, and its Hebrew gematria is 1059 in full. Also 1059-666 = 393.
Other phrases from Liber Legis that sum to 279 include:
no wrong, if he look but close = 279
I, Hadit, am the complement = 279
Let the evil ones be cast = 279
the good ones be purged by = 279
man, lust, enjoy all things = 279
not that any God shall deny = 279
Because! Be he damned for a dog = 279
the seal of the promise = 279
in thy rapture fall not = 279
is none like unto thee among men = 279
o bless’d Beast and thou = 279
to exalt me I am the visible = 279
Equinox, when Hrumachis = 279
greet Thy presence O Ra = 279
make to establish thy way = 279
I breed from her a child = 279
Through the fourth = 279
Some of these values are probably incidental regardless of the validity of the Key.
This Method 2 of analysis is supported by the gematria of the Text: the first two segments of the sequence enumerate to 21 and 42 respectively, implying the binary encoding here expounded. Note the 42 Judges of the dead in Amennti and the 42-fold Name of the Creative God.
418+279 =697, which is 17 (IAO) x 41 (AM, the Primal Mother), and thus refers to AHIH IH IHVH ALHIM. The phrase “he shall expound it. But remember, o chosen one, to be me; to follow” = 697.
If we sum the numbers as single digits through 89 they add to 111, with the numbers of RPSTOVAL completing the quaternary by providing the final 37. Considering that RPSTOVAL equals 696 (IPSOS, a Word of Ma’at) by Hebrew gematria (Rish Peh Shin Tith Ayin Vav Alef Lamed), we may see this fourfold equation as expressing the progression of Aeons, and perhaps a Tetragrammatic formula as well.
The 111+37 equation may also be understood in light of 37 as the root of the Scale of Unity, expressing the Ten Sephiroth:
1) 37x1 =37. 3+7=10. 1+0=1.
2) 37x2=74. 7+4=11. 1+1=2.
3) 37x3=111. 1+1+1=3.
4) 37x4=148. 1+4+8=13. 1+3=4.
5) 37x5=185. 1+8+5=14. 1+4=5.
6) 37x6=222. 2+2+2=6.
7) 37x7=259. 2+5+9=16. 1+6=7.
8) 37x8=296. 2+9+6=17. 1+7=8.
9) 37x9=333. 3+3+3=9.
10) 37x10=370. 3+7+0=10. 1+0=1.
This pattern repeats forever. 37 (ICIDH, The Crown) is the 13th prime number, further showing 37 as an expression of Unity.
Method 3) As 11 numerals and 19 letters. 11x19 =209, half 418.
The 11 numerals add to 143, 13x11.
The 19 letters add to 275, 25x11. Also 55x5- note the explosive force of this number. 275 as the value of the letters of the sequence perhaps speaks of the creative power of language. (13+25)x11 =418. 13 is the unity of Kether; 25 identifies the Aeon with Mars. 275-143 = 132, gematric value of the name Heru-ra-ha. 1+4+3+2+7+5=22, the number of letters in the Hebrew alphabet and Abrahadabra by AIQ BKR. 22x19 =418.
Method 4: We may accept the natural segmentation of the Text, then multiply each segment by 11, which has proven itself a universal Key in unlocking Liber Legis. The letters should be considered as both their Hebrew and English Values. With this technique we observe the following:
4+6+3+8 = 21, x 11 = 231, sum of the numbers 1-21 and sum of the Master Numbers 11-66. Alternately, we could use the values of the pairs: 46 and 38. 46x11= 506, which is 418+88, as by 220, 1:46. See Method 7. 38x11= 418.
ABK = 23 in Hebrew, 42 in English.
23x11 = 253, sum of the numbers 1-22 and half of 506. 253 is the value of the phrase “Every number is infinite”.
42x11= 462, 231x2.
2+4= 6. 6x11 =66, sum of the numbers 1-11 and sum of the Master Numbers 11-33.
ALGMOR = 344 in Hebrew, 61 in English.
344 is 86(ALHIM) x4; may be understood as the Pentagram expressed through the square of manifest elements, with Spirit concealed within. Note 3x44 =132, Heru-ra-ha.
344x11 = 3784, or 86 x 44(DM, Blood). Also note 37+84 =121, 11x11.
61x11 =671, perhaps the holiest of Jewish numbers, being the gematria of
ThORA, the Law, the Word of God most high. Also ThROA, the Gate; ROThA, the Wheel; and ADNI spelt in full.
3x11 = 33. Note that the sum of the numbers 1-33 is 561, a permutation of 156 and 165. 561 is the number of AThQIN, Cain; also DXNIVThA, Concealed Mystery. Mystery is a name of Babalon, Mother of harlots, and abominations of the Earth. Also note 56x1, and 5x61 =305, ALHIM spelt in full.
YX = 100 in Hebrew, 36 in English. 100x11 = 1100, 220x5 and 55x20, as if it were said: The Fortune of MLKVTh is the moving Wheel of Law. 36x11= 396, 132 (Heru-ra-ha) x3 and sum of the Master Numbers 11-88.
24x11= 264, 132 x2. 89x11 =979. 24+89 =113, the 31st Prime number. 113x11 = 1243.
RPSTOVAL equals 696 in Hebrew, 136 in English. 696x 11= 7656. 76+56 =132.
136x11 = 1496. 1496-1243 = 253.
Method 5: We may consider the straightforward gematria of the sequence: 4+6+3+8 =21, AHIH in Hebrew, sum of the numbers 1-6. Mystic Number of ThPARTh: the 6th Sephira, gematria 1081, sum of the numbers 1-46, and the Hierophant or Redeemer- may be referred to the Holy Guardian Angel.
21+697=718.
ABK =42, the English value of the words Agape and Love.
2+4 =6, sum of the numbers 1-3. Also note 24 as the English gematria of the words Law and Tao.
ALGMOR =61, AIN.
3- sum of the numbers 1-2, referred to both CKMH and BINH. To address this apparent ambiguity, I suggest that the technique of creating Mystical Numbers (such as identifying 28 with Netzach because it is the sum of the numbers is 1-7) reveals the evolution of numerical emanation. Kether (1) + Chokmah (2) = Binah
(3). To continue the cycling, 1+2+3 = 6, as Binah is the Mother of Tiphareth. 1+2+3+4 = Malkuth. The Kingdom is thus the child of the Supernals and Chesed, AL, the 4th Sephira being the first level of dualistic manifestation and highest level of form in manifest existence. After the Tree is graphed thus, the sums begin a new cycle, continuing their commentary through the Names of God:
Sum of the numbers 1-5: 15. IH, Father and Mother conjoined in the Child. Ra Hoor Khuit as Mars.
“ “ 1-6: 21. AHIH, the eternal affirmation. The solar Logos: the Word.
“ “ 1-7: 28. ICVD, Love, the power of Union. Our Lady Babalon, Venus.
“ “ 1-8: 36. ALH, the mercurial Logos: the speaking of the Word.
“ “ 1-9: 45. ADM, the lunar human form.
“ “ 1-10: 55. KLH, the Bride. The Now.
A new cycle begins with 11, showing the pathway of the aspirant.
YX =36, sum of the numbers 1-8, 8 being CITh, 418.
Also note that the sum of the numbers 1-36 is 666.
24 (Law)+89(Knowledge) =113, the 31st prime number and gematria of the words “continuity” and “extended.”
RPSTOVAL = 136, 17(IAO) x 8(CITh, HVD). 136 is the gematria of the following words in the Law: “threefold”, “double-wanded”, “expiration” and “penetrant”.
Method 6: We may turn the numbers of the code into words and extract the gematria, thus: four six three eight ABK two four ALGMOR three YX twenty-four eighty-nine RPSTOVAL=931 by Toavotea. Note 93x1 and 9x31.
Other phrases in Liber Legis summing to 931 include:
lest there be folly he shall comment thereupon by the wisdom of Ra Hoor Khu it = 931
Let it be that state of manyhood bound and loathing So with thy all thou hast no right=931
But to love me is better than all things if under the nightstars in the desert =931
if under the nightstars in the desert thou presently burnest mine incense = 931
all prophets true save only that they understand a little solve the first = 931
Lift up thyself for there is none like unto thee among men or among Gods Lift up thyself = 931
shalt thyself convey it with worship o prophet though thou likest it not = 931
slain Ankh af na khonsu Whose words are truth I invoke I greet Thy presence O Ra Hoor = 931
O Ra Hoor Khuit Unity uttermost showed I adore the might of Thy breath Supreme = 931
is a key also And Abrahadabra It shall be his child & that strangely Let him not seek = 931
Method 7: We may apply Keys found in other parts of the Book, such as the numbers 55, 165, 253, 506, and 671. These numbers unlock the Text as follows:
Liber Legis, I:46- "Nothing is a secret key of this law. Sixty-one the Jews call it; I call it eight, eighty, four hundred & eighteen".
I:47- "But they have the half: unite by thine art so that all disappear".
88+418 =506 (concentrates to 56, 11); 46 (Had) x11. 671 (ThORA) = 61x11.
671-418 (38x11) = 253, sum of the numbers 1-22, half of 506, and 23x11. The phrase “Every number is infinite” = 253.
61-38-23= 0. Or, 671-418-253 = 0.
165= sum of master numbers 11-55, 55x3, 15x11, 33x5. Crowley states in 777 and Other Qabalistic Writings: “165. 11 x XV, should be a number Capricorni Pneumatici. Not yet fulfilled”.
I offer these formulae towards its fulfillment:
165+55 =220.
165+88= 253.
165+220= 385.
165+253= 418.
165+341= 506. See Method 8 for more on 341.
165+385= 550, 55x10.
165+506= 671.
165+671= 836, 418x2.
165x5= 825, 515+310.
55= Aum Ha.
55 is the mystic number of MLKVTh, sum of the numbers 1-10.
55x4 =220. 55x7, 77x5 =385, ShKINH. 55+77 =132(Heru ra ha). 132+253 =385.
"eight, eighty" =132.
The Qabalist Nemo Pandragon offered these reflections on the I:46
Keys in private correspondence:
“165 is 33 x 5 and 55 x 3. 55 is the sum of the numbers from 1 to 10. The number 3 always makes me think that it is whirling around trying to find the missing piece. It's needy. If we satisfy its need with another 55 it becomes 220. In Sepher Sephiroth 165 is, among other things, NEMO, a name of the Master of the Temple.
253 is, as you point out, the sum of the numbers from 1 to 22. It is 11 x 23. Now, 22 is one of my very favorite numbers for obvious reasons, but 23 shows up all the time as if to say: "Get over it." I think 23 is the transcendence of 22 as 11 is the transcendence of 10. Both 10 and 22 show a complete cycle, they have no need. They are complete and thus run the risk of being static, of not changing. 11 and 23 are like new beginnings. So I think 253 is a powerfully active number. One of the correspondences in Sephir Sephiroth is "proselytes." Proselytes have made a new beginning.
506, according to Sephir Sephiroth, is Taurus, the bull. Note that if we rotate the symbol for Taurus 90 degrees clockwise it is the first Greek letter Alpha. If we continue around for another 90 degrees it is the English letter A. Although Aleph means ox its symbol looks more like the plow that would be pulled behind an ox. Also 500 is the numeration of the final form of Kaph, the mouth, and 6 the number of Vav the nail, slang for penis. This seems to point to a combination of the most subtle spiritual thought and the male ejaculation. The notion is that you can use your own body to make drugs to illuminate the mind. Certainly, the body of a well formed bud will illuminates the mind when eaten.
671 is a lovely number. The magical self which both is and is not. It's a bit like the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. 'For pure will, unassuaged of purpose, delivered from the lust of result, is every way perfect. The Perfect and the Perfect are one Perfect and not two; nay, are none!' - 220, 1: 44 & 45. The number 671 is 61, the number of Ain (aleph-yod-nun), nothing, multiplied by 11, the number of Magick and an iteration of the 0 = 2 formula. All the purpose of the will is present, without any taken away, but the conniving, self-conscious, and self interested egoism of power-over is nil, completely absent. This Magick is an act offaith rather than calculation. The outcome is a greater connection to here and now, in which is found the secret door, not some lifeless object denoting wealth or social advantage. It is the mating of Nuit (61) and Hadit (11), hence all and none at once.”
When these Keys are applied to II:76, further equations evolve:
165+279 =444.
253+444 =697.
165+148 =313, the 66th Prime. 66 is the sum of the numbers 1-11. Also note 31x3.
506-148 =358, MShIC and NCSh.
253+148 =401, ATh, the Alpha and Omega, refers to Name or Essence.
671-279 =392, 56x7.
55+220 =275, 55x5. See Method 3.
253+209 =462. 671-209 also equals 462. 462 is 42(Agape) x11.
55+418 =473, 11x43. 253+220 also =473.
132+209 =341, 11x31.
Method 8: Let us finally consider the gematric value of some other phrases of II:76.
a>“The love of Nu” and RPSTOVAL both =136.
b> “one to follow thee” =165.
c>“look forth upon men” =220.
d>“to be me, to follow” =149, value of the phrase
“Love is the law”.
e>”be me, to follow the love of Nu in the star lit
heaven, to look forth”= 671.
f>“tell them this” = 206, DBR, Word or Voice. “tell
them this glad word” =293.
g>“to be me” = 70, gematria of the words Hadit and
Heaven.
h>“o chosen one, to be” =168, 56x3. “o chosen one, to be me” =186,
93x2 and gematria of the phrases “Do what thou wilt” and “Equinox of the Gods”.
i> “not nor shalt thou know ever. There cometh one to follow thee” =666.
j> “expound it. But remember, o chosen one, to be” =474, Hebrew DOTh, Knowledge.
k> “Nu in the star lit heaven” = 279. “he shall expound it. But remember, o chosen one, to be me; to follow” = 697.
l>“There cometh one to follow thee” = 341, a ThAShRAQ of 143 (see method 3), 31x11, and sum of the 3 Mother Letters.
m> “he shall expound it” =259, 37x7 and gematria of the phrase “four hundred & eighteen”.
Again, all partial phrases are considered as possibly irrelevant, but are here recorded for future evaluation.
These are but preliminary investigations of a continuing research project- I’m certain there are other patterns here that have not been found. I haven’t begun to explore the possible Temurah permutations of the II:76 sequence, the application of Liber Trigrammaton, nor the full implications of the 42 number code of Method 2. II:76 should also be considered in relation to III:47 and III:73, which is not here attempted. I know others will see things that I would never think to look for- a Qabalist who is also a trained mathematician would perhaps be better suited to interpret the data here presented. This essay, far from being comprehensive or final, is intended to demonstrate the value of the Toavotea Key and record some initial lines of inquiry. Being in Class C it is open ended speculation: some of the results are meaningful and some are probably dead ends, of which there have been many more than here written. This may not be the Key intended by Aiwass- I enjoy trying to imagine what a better one might do. My hope is that this Work may at the least contribute towards the evolution of scientific discipline in future speculative Qabalh exercises among Thelemites- while Ra Hoor abideth at the helm and is Received as pure will, Tahuti guides through the Ruach. Without coherent methodology we’re just another bunch of armchair philosophers, wingnuts, and newage flakes- the state of affairs our founder spent his life trying to remedy. Magick is art and science conjoined; should it be lacking in either capacity then is disease in the body of ADM QDMVN. Magick is of CKMH, intuition BINH: the Ruach aspires to ThPARTh where it may begin its journey home by Camel through Knowledge and Annihilation. But it will not reach the Encounter with itSelf at the center of the Tree at all unless it travel the paths of Apocalypse and the Open Eye, from the Daughter through Splendour to Beauty. Let the fine be tried in intellect- may we neglect not the Ordeals of 8.
I lay down this sword, that it may serve as a yardstick: I’m skeptical of the Toavotea Key; but any past or future attempts to solve the order and value of the English Alphabet should work as well or better to invite further consideration. Its quite possible that Aiwass employed multiple ciphers in the writing of the Book- there may be more than one correct answer, or the answer may be in the seeking. An evaluation of methodology and results among the most well known EQ systems would be a rewarding thesis; to my knowledge no one has yet done a comparison study. Considering the wealth of teaching that would in theory be expressed by an English letter code correctly riddled from Liber Legis, it is worth the time and effort to investigate. May we serve our own wills, and do honor to the Aeon in our hands.
