“All these old letters of my Book are aright; but Tz is not the Star.
This also is secret: my prophet shall reveal it to the wise.”
It is that the Hebrew letters are in their right place, but that the English names for the
Tarot Keys are not correct. I interpreted this verse to say that The Star is not the correct Key
name for Tz = Aquarius = Purple = Key XVII as 18 & 90. If Key XVII is not The Star, then
which Key is? Seeing the words “The Star” I’d written, I naturally concluded that Key XIX was
The Star as our solar sun, as Key XVII was The Sun. I noticed this name swap occured between
2 Keys with opposite colors, the purple of aquarius with the yellow of the sun. I liked The Star
as the name for Key XIX, as it equals 91 in S.E., as does the word Phoenix. I liked that it is a
solar number, equalling RA in M.E., and as Σ(1-13) represents the sun in the center of the 12
zodiac signs. I noticed “This also is secret” from AL I:54 = 201 in S.E., which equals RA in
M.H. I related this present discovery to two other grammatometrics I had found: that
BABALON Υ∆ΡΧΟΟΣ as Babalon Aquarius, or Babalon the Water-Bearer, equals 4774 (as
3330 + 1444 by a combination of Metric Sanskrit digital and Metric Greek), and that the portion
AL I:52 “Expect him not from the East nor from the West, for from no expected house cometh
that child” = 900 in S.E., which equals Tzaddi final.
~2:00-2:54am est
Although unwritten, I obviously thought to try to find the True Names as it were for all
the Tarot Keys. My method seems to have consisted of starting with the word “The” whenever
possible and basing the name on the Hebrew hieroglyphic letter meaning or the zodiacal
meaning. I recall I was thinking of archetypes, of a person manifesting on earth and just kind of
pointing things out by saying “The …”. Here are the names I arrived at (see scan page 03):
O 1 The Fool 81
I 2 The Magus 94
II 3 The High Priestess 195
III 4 The Empress 128
IV 5 The King 74
V 6 The Hierophant 114
VI 7 The Lovers 124
VII 8 The Chariot 107
VIII 9 The Lion 83
IX 10 The Hermit 73
(Phosphorescent)[2:54am] (181)
ABRAHADABRA 90
X 11 The Wheel
XI 12 The Balance 71
XII 13 The Hanged Man 100
XIII 14 The Fish 75
XIV 15 The Archer 86
XV 16 The Devil 85
XVI 17 The Tower 114
XVII 18 The Sun 87
XVIII 19 The Moon 90
XIX 20 The Star 91
XX 21 The Aeon 68
XXI 22 The Universal 154
During this time, Key X The Wheel was changed to Key X The Abrahadabra, and Key
IX The Hermit was changed to Key IX Phosphorescent. I would have thought I had arrived at
the S.E. sum of 1,000 for Keys O-VIII first, as these are fairly straightforward names, but it
appears not to be the case (see scan page 10):
“I noticed that in Serial English the Tarot Trump names for Keys X through XXI
equalled 1,111! Then I noticed that in Serial English the names for Keys O through VIII
equalled 1,000! I was then left at the position of The Hermit, and decided to subtract 1,111 from
1,292, which revealed 181 as “The Hermit,” which equals “Phosphorescent” in Serial English.”
Therefore during this time I came upon the sum of Keys O-VIII as 1,000, IX as 181, and
X-XXI as 1,111, to sum to 2,292. I also correlated this threefold division to ABRA = Keys O-
VIII, HAD = Key IX, ABRA = Keys X-XXI. Note I misnumbered “The Hierophant” as 114, it
should be numbered as 147. This mistake allowed me to arrive at the correct enumerations. It
was 2:54am when I arrived at Phosphorescent = 181 for Key IX, and thus found the correct
number schema.
12:33pm est
I note further the 9-1-13 division in the Tarot schema, and relate it back to my initial AL
I:54 discovery that The Star is the Key name for Key XIX The Star = Sun. 9-1 as 91 = The Star
and Phoenix in S.E., RA in M.E., and is Σ(1-13) as the 1 sun amidst the 12 zodiac signs. In
relation to my discovering the true Tarot Key names, I state that “AL II:55 has been fulfilled by
this find”. This is partially correct, as the new names and numberings are symbols.
12:56pm est
I finally realize the excellent flow established by naming Key XVII The Sun, as it
correlates well with Key XVIII being named The Moon. The Sun, The Moon, & The Star for
Keys XVII-XIX has a better ring to it than The Star, The Moon, The Sun.
1:13pm est
I exclaim “The Name of The Hermit is Ictheus Nympas!!!!!!!!” I’m not sure why I
wouldn’t have known this name to equal 181 in S.E. as well, but apparently I put something
together here. “Ictheus Nympas” (93+88) was a received name for The Hermit of the Tarot I had
received previously.
2:15pm est
I exclaim “The whole alphabet is proven as one shimmering Satan!” This is prophetic, as
I will soon extend the Keys to 30 in number, the last being named Key XXIX Satan, attributed to
the Quintessence, and being represented by The 4774 Sword.
9:41pm
I form the hypothesis that the Keys which start with the word “The” are more exterior
cards, while the few that do not are more interior. The Self is looking out upon the world,
pointing to archetypes, and saying The Fish, etc. In the case of Ictheus Nympas (note his initials
I.N.) it is the Self Itself, or in the case of Phosphorescent is an attribute of the Self, as in a
Voluptuousness of Ecstatic Being.
10:49pm est
I note “Hrumachis-Horus” also equals 181 in S.E. and consider it the potential name for
Key IX, which seems to be a toss up between “Ictheus Nympas” and “Phosphorescent”. I relate
that the name “Ictheus Nympas was received by me a few days prior to my Tarot Trump Name
Revelations of last night”. At some date most likely days prior to this time, I woke up from
some sort of dream remembering the words “There are 3 keys to each of the 7 lower veils,”
which I play around with a bit here.
The grand values from 23 on are incorrectly numbered, which I will discover much later.
None of these attributions I presently agree with, but the fact that I attributed Wizardiaoan to
Key 27 denotes that I had enumerated it to 900 in S.E.T. by this time. I probably also knew that
Walt = 299 in S.E.T. too. These correlations reverberate the AL I:52 portion of the verse which
equals 900 in S.E.: “Expect him not from the East nor from the West, for from no expected
house cometh that child”.
In this letter it is also documented that I had linked BRAShITh “Creation,” which equals
913 in M.H. to the 9-1-13 Key division. I also relate having found that by S.E.T. Satan = 418, I
was able to my satisfaction solve AL I:42, the 8, 80, 418 riddle.
1/2/2000 12:25pm
I realize that “The Snake” is the Key name for Leo and that this makes the LMNOPQ =
4774 equation composed of 419 letters (419 = TITh, Teth, the Hebrew letter name for T = 9).
This mirrors exactly the 419 parts in my AL III:47 solution.
Yea! deem not of change: ye shall be as ye are, & not other. Therefore
the kings of the earth shall be Kings for ever: the slaves shall serve.
There is none that shall be cast down or lifted up: all is ever as it was.
"All is ever as it was" seemingly indicates that the authors of Liber AL vel Legis initially
created the universe with the intimate knowledge of its exact unfoldment through time. The
great proof of their omniscience and omnipotence is their knowledge in 1904 of the particular
nature of my incarnation in 1974, being the one who would discover 4,774's alphanumeric and
qabalistic synchronicities. The important fact to note well concerning Liber DCLXVI SATAN is
that the intelligences of AL were already referring to it and making use of it in the text of AL.
Initial Calculations
At a time after 1:15 AM EST but before 2:32 AM EST on 5/1/1999 I had enumerated
Keys X - XXI to 1,111, beginning with Key XXI, as:
Immediately thereafter I enumerated the following nine Trumps to find they equalled
1,000, as:
O The Fool 81
I The Magus 94
II The High Priestess 195
III The Empress 128
IV The King 74
V The Hierophant 114
VI The Lovers 124
VII The Chariot 107
VIII The Lion 83
1,000
Nextly, at 2:54 AM EST I became aware that “Phosphorescent” = 181 was the True
Name for Key IX, which brought the 22 Keys' sum to 2,292 as 1,000 + 181 + 1,111 in Serial
English. To recap, my intent to find the true Tarot Trump Names was initiated by my correct
solution to AL I:57, which is that Key XVII was “The Sun” and that Key XIX was “The Star”,
rather than being the other way around. After this I began enumerating the Tarot Keys from Key
XXI on down, and became surprised when I found that Keys XXI-X equalled 1,111. The names
of the Keys I enumerated sprang from my own creative mind intuitively and fairly
spontaneously, and the ones found upon my manuscript pages are the first ones that I had
thought of and written down. My names for the Keys were based upon the Tarot Key's
traditional name and meaning as well as their corresponding Hebrew letter's hieroglyphic
meaning, with the intent to begin each Key with the word “The” to archetypalize it whenever
possible.
The new names I at that time invented for the Keys and why I chose them are as follows:
XXI THE UNIVERSAL: I loved the fact that Universal = 121 in Serial English, which
thus equates it with Wizardiaoan which also equals 121 in Serial English, and SATAN which
equals 121 in Metric Hebrew. The name The Universal was more dramatic than The World,
which did not have the same ring to it. I liked the fact that 154 = The Universal in Serial
English is a multiple of 4,774 as 154 x 31.
XX THE AEON: I liked this title rather than the boring name Judgement, because of
my love for Thelema, and the Hebrew letter ShIN's ties to periods of time, as it symbolizes “the
sun between two mountain peaks”, which would occur at sunrise and sunset of any given day.
XIX THE STAR: I liked this title to represent our solar orb much better than the more
passive name of “The Sun”, and also because “The Star” = 91 = “Phoenix” in Serial English. 91
is (1-13), which implies our solar orb as the 1 in 12, the twelve being the zodiac.
XVII THE SUN: This name correlated wonderfully with the next card, Key XVIII THE
MOON, which assured me that “The Sun” was Key XVII's correct name. I also liked Key
XVII's ties with “Truth” and “Hastur”, all of which also equal 87 in Serial English.
XIV THE ARCHER: I certainly liked this name much better than the boring traditional
names of “Temperance” and “Art,” and liked the number 86, the sum in Serial English of the
name “The Archer”, for it seemed of a very beautific nature.
XIII THE FISH: I really liked my change of name for this card rather than its grim
traditional and yet again very uncreative name of “Death”. I didn't even think of naming it “The
Scorpion”, for scorpions are not really major archetype. I knew the corresponding Hebrew letter
N's hieroglyphic letter meaning and name of NVN meant “fish”, and this is what I went by.
XI THE BALANCE: I liked this name better than the rather ambiguous title of
“Justice”. I liked that ”The Balance” began with the word “The”, and it flowed much better than
“Justice”.
X THE ABRAHADABRA: I was very pleased with this inventive name, as it described
the beautific vision of the wonder of AL Reality. I actually had the name “The Wheel” at first, a
much better rendition of the lengthy “The Wheel of Fortune”, but “The Abrahadabra” as anme
for this Key is most excellent.
IX PHOSPHORESCENT: I had “The Hermit” at first, but when finding that 181 +
1,000 + 1,111 equals 2,292 with its addition, I knew “Phosphorescent” was the correct word for
Key IX. The word “Phosphorescent” had been swirling in my subconscious for years. At 20,
besides having painted with phosphorescent black light paints I had written some rap type songs,
one of which began: “’Cause I'm The Phosphorescent Magus, alius The Funkarine, and you’re
my Fungal People soul scream!”
VIII THE SNAKE: I first named this Key The Lion, and liked this name much better
than giving the key the quality of “Strength”, lion being a noun of something actually in reality.
I liked its enumeration of 83, as I knew 83 equalled “Wisdom” in Serial English. I found on
5/24/1999 that “The Snake” also equalled 83 and had the grand value of 682, though I kept the
name “The Lion” because I thought the lion a more noble animal. I found shortly after “The
Owl” also equals 83, denoting the general quality of initiated wisdom this Key signifies, which
possesses the grand value of 485. It would not be until eight months later, on 1/2/2000, that I
could definitively prove “The Snake” as the True Name for Key VIII.
IV THE KING: I liked “The King” = 74 in Serial English much better than “The
Emperor” = 123 in Serial English. I was also aware that Liber AL vel Legis itself uses this name
for Key IV in verse II:15, “The Empress and The King are not of me”.
The English Tarot Trump Names, their attributions, and their Serial English enumerations
that I had arrived at by, but probably well before, 9pm est on 5/3/1999 are as follows (note 23-
26's attributions are incorrect):
The grand enumerations are produced by feeding the Tarot Key values back in upon
themselves, for example Key XII THE MAN = T (The Star = 91) + H (The Chariot = 107) + E
(The King = 74) + M (The Man = 61) + A (The Fool = 81) + N (The Fish) = 489.
S A T A N
The Moon The Fool The Star The Fool The Fish
90 81 91 81 75
AL I:42 states: “Nothing is a secret key of this law. Sixty-one the Jews call it; I call it
eight, eighty, four hundred & eighteen.” I discovered that the “8, 80” part of the solution
referred to the proportional perimeter measurements of the pentagram upon seeing them given in
the second section of the revised edition of Israel Regardie's The Middle Pillar, the one edited by
Chic and Sandra Tabitha Cicero. 8 is the proportional measurement of one side of the perimeter
of a pentagram's arm, and so thus 80 is the proportional measurement of the perimeter of all five
arms of a pentagram. My discovery that Satan = 418 by the Serial English Tarot Trumps of
Liber DCLXVI SATAN is the second half of the solution. The word SATAN is composed of 5
letters, so one letter may be correlated to each arm of a pentagram, as in the following
arrangement:
A A
S N
Although I correctly solved AL I:42 on 5/3/1999, I did not fully understand its meaning
until after I included Satan as the 30th Key of my tarotic schema. Since Key XXIX Satan is the
Omega Key, being the last, the implication of AL I:42 is that “infinity = zero”, or “everything =
nothing”.
My Solution to AL III:73
Now that I had a tarotic schema of 1-28, events were set for me to discover the correct
matrice which AL III:73 was referring to. It seems likely that by the time I discovered AL III:73's
correct solution, I would already have added the final two keys, being Key XXVIII The It and
Key XXIX Satan, but this is only conjecture, and I really do not know when these last two Keys
were added. I was looking for this verse's correct solution now that my solution to AL I:57
disproved that AL III:73's traditional solution was correct. The traditional solution has been to
interpret AL III:73's instructions to “Paste the sheets from right to left and from top to bottom” as
referring to the following Hebrew alphabet order, the "sheets" being synonymous with the
Hebrew alphabet letters/Tarot Trumps:
K I T Ch Z V H D G B A
L M N S O P Tz Q R Sh Th
With this alignment, seeing that Tzaddi (the letter refered to in AL I:53) is directly below
Heh, the notion has been to switch these two letters' astrological attributions, making Tzaddi =
“The Emperor” and Heh = “The Star”. Most non-Thelemites working with the traditional tarotic
attributions of the Hebrew Alphabet probably view this alignment as ridiculous, and it is. It is an
improper solution, mixing up the true tarotic order upon which every true magickal language is
based (the tarotic order itself being ultimately based upon the the serial progression of pure
number).
I had the intuitional insight to hypothesize that AL III:73 might be referring to the English
Alphabet rather than Hebrew, the language in which Liber AL vel Legis itself was written. I also
had the insight to ponder that the true matrice referred to might be in the form of an equilateral
cross, for another discrepancy the traditional solution to AL III:73 possesses is that its order does
not really follow AL III:73's directions. Its order more aptly follows a “From right to left, and
from left to right” pattern. In contrast, the form of the equilateral cross remains true to AL
III:73's wording. After following this train of thought, the task of finding the true solution to AL
III:73 proved very simple, for I now only had to divide the Tarot schema by four, the logical
dividend being the number 28 to include as many Keys as possible. The true solution to AL
III:73 I believe is thus the following matrice:
O
P
Q
R
S
T
U
N M L K J I H It G F E D C B A
V
W
X
Y
Z
Sh
Th
This is the matrice which accurately follows the instructions of AL III:73. Every circle of
letters, such as ANOTh, sum to 58, the value of STAR in Serial English. The outermost rim of
letters, ANOTh, equal 1,111, which is the value of “The Star Hadit”, as 621 + 490, using the
Serial English Tarot Grammatometric Order. Since in Serial English every circle of letters
equals 58, Key XXVIII THE It, as It = 29, seems to synchronously occupy the center position,
29 being exactly half of 58. Key XXIX SATAN is the quintessence of all the letters, being in
symbol the black circle surrounding the equilateral cross as The World Serpent Oroboros, or
IORMUNGANDR = 121 in Serial Elder Futhark Runes. Here we have Spirit = white = It as the
center letter, and The Quintessence of AL Reality = 4774 = black = Oo as the circumference.
LMNOPQ = 4,774
Sometime after the above discoveries were made, I found I had made a mistake in my
original calculations. It is that “The Hierophant” = 147 in Serial English, not 114. Hierophant
by itself equals 114. However, I did not discover this fact until right after I had discovered that
the grand values for the series LMNOPQ equal 4,774, as: 943 + 489 + 666 + 903 + 782 + 991. I
believe my reception of Liber DCLXVI SATAN was subtly aided by the help of occult
intelligences, and that two of their key influences was firstly to make me initially mistakenly
enumerate The Hierophant as 114 and secondly to make me find the equation LMNOPQ = 4,774
before I was to notice my mistaken calculation. My reason for believing this is that if I would
have initially calculated Key V THE HIEROPHANT as 147, I would have never gotten
anywhere to begin with, and Liber DCLXVI SATAN would have never come into existence.
The LMNOPQ = 4,774 equation is of immense importance in understanding Liber
DCLXVI SATAN. I have used this equation as my ground to prove and verify three very
important hypothesis:
1.) Key V Hierophant = 114 is the True Name for Key V rather than The Hierophant
= 147. If Key V is The Hierophant then LMNOPQ does not equal 4,774, for both N (The Fish)
and Q (The Fortress) each have an F (the English letter corresponding to Key V) in their names.
2.) LMNOPQ = 4,774 proves that my solution to AL III:73 is correct. It does so by
being the sum of the last three letters composing the horizontal line and the first three letters
composing the vertical line. It thus marks the center of the 28-fold alphabet, and that LMNOPQ
= 330 in Serial English further connotes a center balance, as 330 = HRVMAChIS in M.H. and
SATOR AREPO TEXET OPERA ROTAS in S.E.
3.) LMNOPQ = 4,774 proves that Key VIII is The Snake rather than The Lion or The
Owl. I first discovered on 1/2/2000 at 12:25pm est that with Key VIII as The Snake the tarotic
sequence LMNOPQ = 4,774 is composed of exactly 419 letters, which is the Metric Hebrew
value for TITh, Teth, meaning “snake”, the Hebrew letter name for the Hebrew alphabet's 9th
letter, T = 9 = Key VIII The Snake = Leo = Yellow.
On 11/20/1999, circa 5PM, I realized that Key VIII might be THE SNAKE due to its
appearance in AL II:21.
