Analysis of Liber Al Vel Legis

Ø – denotes Hebrew Key Tf – denotes t final used Sf – denotes s final used Nf – denotes n final used ĸ – denotes hard c  − denotes L upright ω − denotes initial w

Demonstration
  • The Law = 220 (hence number of the BOOK CCXX)
    The Law = (98 + 7 + 1) + (50 + 4 + 60) = 220
  • HORUS= 440 = (  ) Crowley = Knowledge = Winged Globe = Secret Word = Kundalini
    HORUSf and HORUS. These are 458 and 440 respectively. We expect the current of Horus to persist through this Aeon. Taking the formula for this current then, with a non-final (non-terminating) S we have 440, a further glyph of these currents and a general formula for many operations under this new scheme : --- As 40 into 11 it is the magickal force (11) of the glyph M (M=40), whose properties are also general attributions of the God: e.g. They typical image of the God is that of a naked child, surrounded by an egg of blue, and pressing the index finger to his lips. The egg of blue is the womb, which is the motherhood of M, this womb is the sea of Binah, which is M, and finger to the lips denotes the silence of M. ---- As 220 into 2, it is the intelligible manifestation of The Law (220) in the sphere of the Living Word (2, Chokmah). ---- As 44 into 10, it is Authority (4 into 11, the magickal force of Jupiter, and the elements) over the 10th sphere or Material Plane (Malkuth).
  • AIWAZ = 4 + 4 + 60 + 4 + 6 = 78
    (that is, Aiwaz manifest in Kether versus Aiwass the same force manifest into Chokmah) This is the number given by Him for His name. It had not been confirmed until now.
    N.B 78 = Σ12 the summation of all numbers from 1 to 12, and their synthesis.
  • AIWASS (SSf) = 4 + 4 + 60 + 42 + 42 = 156
    (Aiwaz manifest into Chokmah = 78 × 2 = 156. Note the curious transition from the Z to the double s and the accompanying phonetic changes. A mystery is here concealed as to the distinction between these two manifestations.)
    S is the serpent that climbs the Tree of Life, while Z is the Lightning that flashes through the sephiroth.
  • AIWAZ (W) = 4 + 4 + 400 + 4 + 6 = 418
    (Aiwaz with W activated gives us the formulaic number for this Being, as declared by Himself in Liber Al vel Legis.)
  • HOOR= 7 + 200 + 200 + 9 = 416 = Winged Secret Flame, The Sacred Mysteries, Place of Silence
    The elemental Form of Horus (Note his Two Eyes) explained below.
  • RA HOORKHU = 13 + 416 + 237 = 666 = Σ36 = LUXFIRE = Edward Alexander Crowley
    Ra = The Sun
    Hoor = The Horizon
    Khu = Means Light, and symbolized to the Ancient Egyptians the concept of the Self (The impersonal Life force that manifests in the Soul) For religionists, Khu can be interpreted as the Soul and the phrase “The Khabs is in the Khu, not the Khu in the Khabs” – Liber vel Legis I, 8 and can be translated as “Heaven is in the Soul; not the Soul in Heaven”. Note that, hbha = 5+ 2+ 5+ 1= 13= dja = 4+ 8+ 1Ø, and that AHBH which in the new Key is 22: the entirety of the old Law, which the Book of the Law now places in proper relation as under Will, i.e. under Thelema (Will is English for the Greek ΘΕΛΗΜΑ). 24 Note that Ra-Hoor-Khuit is called “The Visible Object of Worship”; MESSIAH = 40 + 1 + 24 + 24 +4 + 4 + 7 = 104.
    LUXFIRE-- What generations past corrupted as Lucifer: The Morning Star, Herald of Dawn, The One who comes raging like a comet from the sky, and in falling, burns and lights the Heavens for the Eyes of the Children of the Earth. A holy name concealing the marriage of Light and Fire. It is the Initiate’s Love and his Lust for the Earth which has him fall and give of this Fire and Light to Others.
  • RA-HOOR-KHU or 13 + 416 + 237 is now 666, the word into Tiphareth, versus 444 of the old system (the word into Chesed), essentially reaffirming this force as Solar. See mystical numbers of the heavenly bodies.
    Ra-Hoor or The Sun on the Horizon
    Ra-Hoor-Khu or The Light of the Sun on the Horizon
    13 = Ra (The Sun) = YH the Father and the Mother of the old glyph, and also AHBH (hbha, Love) and AChD (dja , Unity) of the same.
    416 denotes the God’s elemental Form (104 × 4) or the Messiah24into the 4th sphere (Power) which further breaks down to Love acting Materially (13 × 8 × 4) through Mercury (The Word).
    Combining this with Ra we have 13 + 13 × 32 = 13 × 33 or 13 × 11 × 3 for RA HOOR: The Magical Force (11) acting upon Love (13) acting upon Binah (3). Note the idea of Power and how this magickal force is applied to Binah in one case (the active and not in the passive form) in light of the 12th Aire: “There is no power that may endure save only the power that descendeth in this my chariot from Babylon”. ( Babylon is a corruption of BABALON, the Formula by which one transcends and releases the Energies of Binah.)
  • Note that RA HOOR= 13 × 11 × 3 while HOORPAARKRAAT = 13 × 11 × 4 and that RA HOOR and HOORPAARKRAAT are the active and passive formulae of the same God HORUS.
    237 is Khu: He is the very Self of RA-HOORand all that this entails as explained above.
    237 = 79 × 3; 79 a prime oddly omitted from the traditional literature26, and this current acting upon Binah once again, so it is again that Power that descends along Cheth (which is 418 spelt fully Cheth + Yod + Tau = 8 + 10 + 400) the Chariot of BABALON and the path uniting Binah to Geburah, the 5th sphere.
    When combined into the Unity of the God’s name, these add up to 666 which is the summation (and so contains the idea) of all the glyphs from 1 to 36. It is the most mystical of the numbers for the Sun, and reaffirms this as essentially a Solar diety. It is the triple Aleph or the Living Word into the 6th sphere, Tiphareth, the Human Consciousness.
  • RA HOORKHUIT = 759 = 666 + 93
    (93, a number dear to Thelemites, denoting the Old Aeon glyph for Aiwass and Thelema, is here added as a termination to the God Name, indicating the manifestation of the God
  • PAARKRAAT = 156 = KAOS = BABALON = KAOS, the Victorious Queen in the old Key. Reference notes on Aiwass.
  • HOORPAARKRAAT = 416 + 156 = 572 = O Nuit! = The Prophet and his Bride [Hoor (416) + PAARKRAAT (156) ] = LOTUS = One Sword = One of Heaven = Universal Heart
    Here we see the elemental form of the God (HOOR) combining with the Supernal energies. Observe that:
    RA HOOR= 11 × 13 × 3 : The Magical Force (11) acting upon Love (13) acting upon Binah (3), while:
    HOORPAARKRAAT = 11 × 13 × 4, The Magical Force (11) acting upon Love (13) acting upon Chesed (4)
    And that these are two halves of the One God HERU RA HA.
    Note also, The Prophet and his Bride = 572 = HOOR(416) + BABALON (156), of which The Beast and The Scarlet Woman are emissaries. HOORPAARKRAAT is Harpocrates in the Greek or HORUS the Child. He is the Child God of the Love Between these two Forces.
    His is The Universal Heart of the Aspirant. He is denoted as the Silent and Passive form of the God HERU RA HA.
  • HOORPA KRAAT = 416 + 7 + 136 = 559
    13 is left out of formulae in this title of the God
  • ANKH F Nf KHONSU = 111 + 2 + 6 + 531 = 650 = L.U.X.
    ANKH AF NA KHONSU = 111+ 6 + 74 + 531= 722
    = RA HOORKHUIT + 56
    ANKH AF NA KHONSU (ŏ) = 111+ 6 + 74 + 531= 602
    ANKH = 111 (The triple Aleph – an old glyph of the Word emanating from Creation.)
  • KHONSU (ŏ) = 401 = “He is the First and Last” : the Aleph(1) and the Tau (400); that is, he is EW on the scale, the East and the West – HE contains the entire tradition / Path with Him.
  • KHONSU = 531 = The Virgin and the Man = Inviolate = The glory Ineffable = Thy Secret Temple = Secret & Not
  • HAD = 19
    A prime number, indicating the current to be found in the 2nd Aire. Traditionally, interpreted as the feminine glyph. See also Job in the Tradition.
  • NU = 270 = 3^3 × 10
    The Supreme Goddess Unmanifest. Note this action upon the 3rd sephira raised exponentially (think: recursively) upon itself : and this acting upon Malkuth, the Kingdom, or the glyph 1 0 which as Unit and Space contains All.
  • IT = 93
    (A suffix to God names and formulae, indicating manifestation, i.e. that He or She is manifest: eg, Nu, Had versus Nuit, Hadit)
  • HADIT =112 = An Ibis, Chit, Ptah, Path, Beth, Magician
    All these ideas pertaining to Chokmah and the Grade Therein : (112 = 56 × 2, the old glyph for Nu upon Chokmah; i.e. Mazloth – a star in Her body); the Ibis which is sacred to Thoth, the Egyptian form of Mercury which “presides” over Chokmah in his office as the Living Word; Ptah partaking of this Sephira as well as after Uranus; Chit is the mindstuff – the effusive river of energies called thought; Beth is the corresponding Path of the Magician, i.e. the Magus28
  • THELEMA = 221 = The Shrine
    The word of the law is Thelema” might translate : The Word (Aleph) + The Law = Thelema : 1 + 220 = 221)
  • BES NA MAUT = 456 = Enginery of War = The Chief of All (L averse) = O Blessed Beast (L averse) = Uraeus
  • MAUT = 333 = Fallen and Defiled
    The number of Choronzon in the old Key
  • MAAT = 137 = Thebes
  • TA NECH = 93 + 108 = 201, Tf
    TA NECH = 102 + 108 = 210 = Σ20 = A Babe in an Egg, Titan
  • COPH NIA = 93 + 78 (= 93 + AIWAZ) = 171
  • ABRAHADABRA = 23 + HAD + 23 = 65 = Aleph = (The double word of power uniting the 6 and 5 = 65)
  • L.U.X. = 650 = Ankh f n Khonsu (= 65 x 10 = Abrahadabra x 10) = Night of Time = NOX (ŏ)
    L.U.X. which culiminates in the Union with HGA is the equivalent of 65 (or the two-fold word, ABRAHADABRA) into the material plane or 10th sphere (650) is the other half of N.O.X. which

    together are 13 x 10 x 10.
  • My heart =156 = AIWASS = BABALON = KAOS
  • My tongue = 699 = Word of the Law = A Secret Key of this Law
  • Restriction = 465 = Σ30 = Black Brothers = Double = Wickedness
  • BE-WITH-US = 418 = Let ASARbe with ISA = The Silver Star = Perfection = The Prophet (ŏ)
    (418 – a Glyph for the Great Work accomplished and Abrahadabra (Ø) in the old Key. Note also in the injunction: “Let Asar be With Isa” that ASAR+ ISA = 333 in the old Key and 73 in the new. This may be suggestive to NEMO.)
  • Seven spirits of unrighteousness = 1550 = 155 into Malkuth (155 = evil, veil)
  • NEMO = 311 = The Beast & His Bride = TARO = ROTA = Every way Perfect = The Self-Slain (See Ankh-af-na-Khonsu)
  • SEBEK = 439 = Crocodile
  • Crowned Child = 450 =“Amoun”
    (Amoun is mate to Maut, father to Ankh-af-na-Khonsu: a revision of the YHVH formulae) He is both the father and son of their love.
    Moloch, is Baal, which is Abel, or Apis the Bull and he ap­pears as a man with the head of a bull, and later, a calf. In a sense, He is the dark or averse side of Kether, and has been alternately viewed as a God and a demon depending on the culture of the nation. He demands great sacrifice (often the first born), and the Initiate must slay the God’s appearance in the final projection of this sphere.
  • Great work = 440 Tf
  • The Great Work = 777
  • No-thing = 469 = Being Not = Let Being be Empty = The Chief of All
  • English Alphabet = 486 = Key of this Law
  • Cosmos = 518 = Chaos is my name = Egg of Blackness
    (Cosmos is the Naming of Chaos i.e. attributing an Order to elements in the Universe: the Egg of Blackness, which is Spirit.)
  • O Prophet = 521 = A Word = Saviour = ISIS, my mother = Strange Pale God = Be done with Speech = The work is ended = Annihilation = Divine Perfection
    An interesting set of entries. Taken from Liber vel Legis, technically it refers to the scribe of the Book, who as a Student in Chokmah, was the Word made Flesh, which children of Men take for Messianic force (Saviour). This prophet is extolled to abandon this bloodless Life (Strange Pale God), to be Silent*, for the Work is ended, and the Annihilation of Himself into this Force, that is the Word (instead of opposing and so refracting it in Speech) results in the Divine Perfection – a title of Kether. *Liber Bvel Magi 2-3: “2. …the Word that is God is none other than He. 3. How shall He end His Speech with Silence? For He is Speech.”
  • MERCURIUS = 535 = The Ruby Star = The Serpent Flame Therein = Beast of the Field
  • The Great Work = 777 = Key of the Vault = Three Ordeals in One = Yea Than, Yea Theli, yea Lilith*
    *The three ordeals and their passwords.
  • The Understanding = 701 = The Gate of the Abyss = The Four Beasts = Knowledge and Delight
  • City of Fifty Gates = 718 = Of All Truth = Company of Heaven
  • Secret Understanding = 731 = Secretest Chamber of the Palace = One Knowledge = Absolute Bliss = Sweeter than death (ϖ)
  • Power of Understanding = 1070 = Stabat Crux Juxta Lucem*= Stabat Lux Juxta Crucem* = Light, LIFE, LOVE, Force, Fantasy, FIRE = Wisdom and Folly
    The first two entries denote the proper means of acquiring and increasing such Power as witnessed in the 10th Aire. The third lists the virtues of such a Power. The car called Millions of Years refers to the soul’s path. Power of Understanding as we know by the incidence, reciprocity and identity (See BABALON AND KAOS) is equivalent to Wisdom (the traditional title for Chokmah) which leads to Folly (The Fool, is a title corresponding to the Kether).
    *Two means of achieving such power. See the 6th Aire. Lat: Erect the Cross near the Light; and, Erect the Light near the Cross.
  • The Gates of Understanding = 1156 (scale of 156) = The Wisdom of the New Aeon
    (A beautiful example of the Geometries revealed by the Key. Here we have the two Supernal Formulae, contiguous and counterbalancing themselves on the more material continuum of 103, Understanding or Binah and Wisdom or Chokmah, being technical terms corresponding to 2nd and 3rd spheres and here adding to 156 × 10, whose formula for transcendence and release is 156.)
  • The Throne of Understanding = 1288 = Watchtowers of the Universe (see Liber 418)
  • Winners of the Ordeal X = 1087 = The Royal and the Lofty
  • That Mighty Devil Choronzon = 1317 = Weird and Monstrous Speech*= Tremble ye O Pillars of the Universe (from 10th Aire before confrontation with this Demon) *See 10th Aire.
  • The Stone of the Philosophers = 1366 = The Gross must pass through fire = Hold! Hold! Bear up in thy Rapture = In swoon of the Excellent Kisses!
    Succumbing to the ecstasies and the Bliss destroys the Energies that are the cause of which it is the effect. Orgasm or Samadhi—these are Death. The Communion is over. Yet, it is the Reward of the Operation.
  • The Whirlpool and Leviathan and the Great Stone = 1371 = The dung of Choronzon = The Great Snake of Khem, the Holy One
    (Note: This is one less than the Lord of the Forces of Matter. See doctrine on the Shame of Khem and 4th Aire wherein all this is enacted.)
  • The Lord of the Forces of Matter = 1372 = The great princes of the Evil of the World = Olalam Imal Tutulu (Regards Mayan, and the 2nd and 3rd Aires)
    Note here the (666 + 20) into Chokmah. 666 reduces to the Unity for it is the Number of a Magus, for “He is One”*. It is also three circles, taking in from above by the glyph of the numeral (see doctrine on three Wheels). * “One is the Magus, twain his forces…” Liber Bvel Magi, 00
  • Victory over Choronzon = 1519 = Aye! Listen to the Numbers and the Words = The Athanoor called Dissolution = Unity Uttermost Showed
    Aye! Listen to the Numbers and the Words: a promise to NEMO who confronts this dispersive Force. In this wise, Let Him be Sure.
  • The Key of the Pylon of Power = 1403 = The Chosen Priest & Apostle of Infinite Space = Warrior of Ra Hoor Khu*= The wisdom of Ra Hoor Khuit* = The Reward of Ra Hoor Khut*
    * Different manifestations of the God taken verbatim from the text.
  • The Stabilities of Being and of Consciousness and of Bliss = 1777 = Leaping Laughter and Delicious Langour (  )
  • The Direful Judgments of Ra Hoor Khuit = 1812 = The Palace of Two Hundred and Eighty Judgments = The Wings of Maut the Vulture
    Self-explanatory. Recall that Maut = 333. The Palace of Two Hundred and Eighty Judgments is encountered in the 3rd Aire after where the Seer de-feathering the Vulture takes these for the plumes of his Arrow.
  • Thus Is the Art and Craft of the Magus But Glamour = 2222 (Note this action : the Grand Scale of 2 and its rela­tion to Chokmah.)

New Book on English Qabalah


Pulled this from the wiki: Now someone appears to have hijacked it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Qabalah

'''English Qabalah''' refers to several different systems of mysticism that interpret the letters of the English alphabet or Roman Script as symbols. Hermetic Qabalah is a system of mysticism that seeks to harmonize symbol through correspondence and thus arrive at a manageable and intelligible description of the perceptual universe. Hermetic Qabalah is partially derived from the Jewish Kabbalah, which consists of a vast body of work which is inter-disciplinary in nature.
History
There have been a number of proposed systems of mapping the Roman Script to their numerical equivalents. These attempts have failed to convince with their results, and appear arbitrary in their construction sometimes assigning sequential values to the letters as in the case of Mr Lees work. In 2008, direct derivation of the glyph values was determined and found to concord with values determined in previous scripts (Hebrew, Greek, etc) for known formulae. There results were published in Samuel K. Vincent's ''The English Qabalah'' Vincent, Samuel K. (2008) which for the first time presents a clear mapping of the letter glyphs along with their mystical interpretations providing a basis on which to construct the system of the English Qabalah and its concordances.
The English Qabalah

The English Qabalah is a system of mysticism that interprets letter and number as symbol. Similar to other forms of Qabalah, most notably the Hebrew, these are often symbols taken of natural states or physical objects. Thus the A is called “The Star” in the English system, and the aleph (the Hebrew equivalent) is an Ox.
However, these states or objects are in themselves symbols. Thus, according to Vincent, A in the English Qabalah corresponds to “Star” and denotes not the physical body of burning gases that comprise a star or Sun, but the relation of the star to the observer.

The A, or the Star, is that Point of Light that shines in the Darkness of Night; it is that which is fixed above the revolving earth to guide the Traveller.
-Samuel K. Vincent, Notes on the Qabalah, Symposium IV

Likewise, A, or the ''Aleph'' in the Hebrew system which signifies Ox, denotes not only the animal, but the plowing of soil – inherent not only in the powers of agriculture, but also all that which overturns the Earth.The Zohar, trans. Harry Sperling and Maurice Simon, 5 vols. (London and New York: Soncino Press 1984)
There are some distinctions: In the Hebrew Qabalah, the name for the letter actually denotes the object. Thus, ''aleph'' is actually Hebrew for Ox, and ''beth'' for House. “Eigh” or “Ey” is not a word in English, and “Bee” corresponds not to a bee in the English system but to a book.
In practice, Qabalists often analyze holy or inspired texts, translating the letters into their symbols and reinterpreting the words accordingly.

Significance of English letters
A – The Star
B – The Book
C – The Sky, The Yoni
D – The Bow
E – The Triple Light, The Triple Flame
F – Space, Force
G – The Wheel
H – The Throne
I – A Column, The Lingam
J – The Horn of Plenty, A Hook
K – The Virgin
L – Balance
M – A Wave, A Valley
N – A Gate
O – The Moon, The Eye, The Universe (all Circles)
P – The Pregnant Goddess
Q – The Spermatazoon
R – Birth
S – The Son, The Serpent
T – The Table, The Altar
U – The Cup (The Urn)
V – The Horns of Power
W – The Eyes
X – The Wheel, The Cross
Y – The Tree of the World
Z – The Lightning Fla
English Gematria
A further extension of this practical system is gematria, in which letters are equated to number values. The letters comprising the word or name of person or object are then summed together. The number of this sum is termed the key of that particular word. Words sharing the same key are said to share properties. Thus Love = Selflessness = 331 in English and KAOS = BABALON = 156. The letters are often tabulated along with their numerical equivalents:


The English Qabalah system differs from the Hebrew and Greek systems in that the letters are further broken down in their
phonemes. In the Hebrew and Greek systems, the value of a letter is unique to it and determined by its position (final or not). Though this is also true in the English system, a further distinction is made as to the sound of the letter. Thus the hard c as in the word "cat" and the soft c as in the word "cedar", though in the old systems would have identical values, in the English do not. Hence, in terms of the set mappings from the letters to the numbers, there is no longer a 1-1 relationship bijective but a 1 to many surjective.

Jim Lees Versus Samuel K Vincent


A number of systems have been proposed which seek to map the English Alphabet to their numerical equivalents. These have been arrived at through the attempt to decipher a sequence of letters found in the Book of the Law:

"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.”
Crowley, Aleister. ''The Book of the Law'', II,76

Among these we are a system of Hermetic Qabalah invented by Jim Lees . You also have David Cherubim's ''The Key of it All'' (1996), some others and finally we have Samuel K. Vincent's The English Qabalah with a mystical and numerical concordance for the Roman Script Glyph Set.

David Cherubim takes the letters in their order in the alphabet and increments them according to this order by multiples of 6. Mr. Lee’s systems adopts some arbitrary method based on a misapplication of basic algebra. Both systems fail to convince the reader by their results. the nonsensical results of the application of this key confirm the nonsense of their system.

Mr. Vincent’s work however is different. Not only due to the results of the Key’s application speak for themselves, but he develops a cogent and coherent system based on the English Alphabet Glyphs which constitutes the birth of English Qabalah.

Samuel K. Vincent's System

Order and Value
Samuel K. Vincent develops the new Aeon mapping of the Roman Scripts by utilising the known formulae, as well as those keys found in the ''The Book of the Law'', II,76 by showing how the equivalences hold in both the old Aeons mappings as well as in the New Aeon mappings. Each of the Symbols in the verse are deconstructed to their elemental set in the old Aeon Key before transitioning. In his book, ''The English Qabalah'' he writes,

“We Understand that any new Law or Key must fulfill the old Law in a very similar way that Quantum Mechanics must contain and further explain Newtonian Physics: The truth unfolds; it is never displaced. This new Key must be a development of the systems we’ve known to date. It will find its birth precisely at the point where the old system breaks down.
Vincent, Samuel K. (2007) Symposium IV, The English Qabalah

Mr. Vincent also claims that errors have been made in assuming the typesets for the print of this text. He provides corrections to the interpretation of the glyphs contained in the verse:

“The editors in the process of typesetting have made assumptions. For instance, the eighth character has been established as the numeral “2” ever since the book was first printed. There has never been any question made of this. However it might just as easily be the letter “z”. More grieving still, some of the characters are not letters at all, though they have been printed as such. Among these we note the 12th position which editors give as G, and the 17th which is given as Y.

In reality, the former is the sign of the failure of the squaring of the circle mentioned: “then this circle squared in its failure is a key also.” – Liber Al, 3, 47. × is not a multiplication sign as some have suggested, nor the letter X as others have; but the male half of the squaring of the circle the symbol of which is: as shown in the text, which in its two variant forms lead to the success or failure of this squaring.
The remaining characters are symbols that the Student will recognize. Some are numbers, some are letters. The nineteenth and twentieth figures appear with arcs drawn above and below them suggesting a reversal of digits
. Vincent, Samuel K. (2008)


Mr. Lee's Systems

Order and Value

Jim Lees arrives at the ''order & value'' of the letters by superimposing on one of the pages of manuscript of Liber AL on which this verse appears (sheet 16 of Chapter III). Also appearing on this page are a diagonal line and a circled cross. Smith continues with her explanation:

“There are letters along the top of the page, and it would seem to be obvious to continue with the alphabet in the manner indicated, but the clue is in the numbers down the side. A is written instead of 1 which suggests that B is 2, C 3 and so on. Fill in all the squares on the grid in this manner, repeating the alphabet when one gets to Z. To proceed to the next step the instruction is written on the page, for those who have eyes to see. 'Then this line drawn is a key.' The line drawn is a diagonal line across the page. If one reads any diagonal across the square one gets the order of the English alphabet to be used in the English Qabala. Whichever diagonal is read the order of the letters is obtained. There is only one order which can be obtained and all 26 letters appear in this order.”

“As there are ten squares per column, this method is equivalent to taking every eleventh letter of the alphabet as the ''order'' and then assigning them sequential ''values'' "

This is kind of nonsense is almost laughable.

Here’s what they come up with.
A=1 L=2 W=3 H=4 S=5 D=6 O=7 Z=8 K=9 V=10 G=11 R=12 C=13
N=14 Y=15 J=16 U=17 F=18 Q=19 B=20 M=21 X=22 I=23 T=24 E=25 P=26

According to Jake Stratton-Kent, "the English Qabala is a qabalah and not a system of numerology. A qabalah is specifically related to three factors: one, a language; two, a 'holy' text or texts; three, mathematical laws at work in these two."

That is all very well, but their results are inconsistent and produce no discovery.

Nature and Discovery

Mr Vincent uses the Key he discovers, applying it to known formulae and the text of the Book of the Law, itself, to demonstrate that the results are integral. He explains, for instance:

“The book’s technical title is Liber AL vel Legis, sub figura CCXX. It contains 220 verses, which fact was given as the reason for its numeration as CCXX in Roman Numerals. We are now able to verify that “The Law” has a key of 220 in the English Key though the Authors at the Time could not know this. Qabalistically then, “The Book of the Law” can be transliterated as “The Book of 220” which coincides with its technical name: Liber CCXX which we confirm through Gematria: The Law = (98+7+1) + (50+4+60) = 220
- Vincent, Samuel K. (2008)

The Book of the Law is said to have been “delivered” by 418 to DCLXVI

We learn that the author of the Book calls Himself AIWAZ and provides the Key of this Name as 418. We see that the English Key confirms this as AIWAZ = 4 + 4 + 400 + 4 + 6 = 418.
These details are interesting because it predates the discovery of the key by over a century, and suggests that the Author had Knowledge the Scribe did not possess, and is the first indication of the evidence to be found within its pages of the praeterhuman origin of the Key and the Intelligent Design of these Historic Events.

Mr. Vincent writes,
“Also note, that the book is declared as “given by 418 to DCLXVI” which is 666 in Roman numerals, and that this coincides with the birth name of the scribe, though he was not at the time in possession of the Key, and sought in vain to confirm this attribution, transliterating to Greek and Hebrew. Finally, the scribe’s Name under the ordinance of that Order (Perdurabo), equates not only with his birth name, but also with that of the God presiding over the Book.”
Vincent, Samuel K. (2008)

By applying the New Aeon mappings that he's found Mr. Vincent, is able to confirm these equalities for Edward Alexander Crowley (the legal birth name of the scribe) = Alastair Crowley (A variant of his name used to publish his literary works) = 666 in the English Key; while Aleister Crowley translates to 440 + 220 that is Knowledge (or Horus) + The Law.

Alastair Crowley = Edward Alexander Crowley = 666= S36
Edward = 1 + 8 + 60 + 4 + 9 + 8 = 90
Alexander = 4 + 50 + 1 + 9 + 4 + 70 + 8 + 1 + 9 = 156
Alastair = 4 + 70 + 4 + 131 + 4 + 4 + 9 = 226 = Edward Alexander Crowley = 30 + 9 + 200 + 60 + 50 + 1 + 70 = 420
and
Perdurabo = Crowley = Horus = 440 (“The Law” into Chokmah i.e. 220 x 2), a number of perfection already experientally dear to Thelemites: and here they have their confirmation.


As regards, Aiwass, Mr. Vincent is able to confirm the old Aeon values, and provide further insight as to the New Aeon manifestations of the same. He writes:

“As already noted, AIWAZ with W activated is 418, the glyph for the Great Work accomplished coinciding with the enumeration of the same name in the Greek key. But taking w=60, AIWASS or AIWAZ, we find that AIWAZ sums to 78 and AIWASS to 156 in the new key, providing us with a further clue as to the interpretations and the scale of geometries we wish to apply. As AIWAZ, He is 78 or that current into Kether or the first sphere of emanation. When manifest as AIWASS, He is 78 × 2 or 156 which is the number for KAOS and BABALON in the English key and is the same current into the second sphere of manifestation, the Intelligible Word, Chokmah. Observe also that this transition from the closed Z termination of the first variant of the name, into the prolonged double S in the second and the accompanying phonetic changes (the sound of steam escaping) acts as a further hint of the nature of this Change.
Vincent, Samuel K. (2008)

Note that according to this system,
K A O S = 156 = B A B A L O N
30 + 4 + 80 + 42 = 156 = 6 + 4 + 6 + 4 + 50 + 80 + 6


Stratton-Kent describes his discovery as follows:

“When I first had my attention drawn to the existence of a purported English Qabala, my first reaction as a qabalist was to use it on this meaningless string of digits and characters. I converted all the letters into their numerical equivalents in the E.Q., and added them to the numbers in the series.”
“There are seventeen numbers and letters in the first line and eleven in the second ... but in the manuscript the 'X' at the beginning of line two looks like a multiplication symbol, so I made this calculation; 17x11=187, the numerical value of the phrase ENGLISH ALPHABET.”

Stratton-Kent (March 1988)

Congratulations Mr. Vincent I believe the evidence speaks for itself. We can finally put this English Key business to rest, and all the charlatans like Lees, Kent and others with it.
