New Aeon English Qaballa

  First of All let me apologize for any information I leave out, and the cluttered appearance my thoughts may be in. It has been a long night and a very long day. I finally pulled all my journals and notes out of storage and just got little Master William ( my 7 month old son) to sleep.
   This is the Very first Magick Essay I have written for the enjoyment of others, so please any feedback is good feedback.
 
Remember this is just a basic Primer of the system, and non of this is my own personal work. I will be posting a blog in the next few weeks detailing my own personal experiments with the system. This Primer is most likely just going to be one of several. There is quite a bit of information on this, for just one quick essay.
 
  Lets start things off right and go with a little background information for the layman into what cause this system to be discovered/created, depending on how you look at it, in 1904
Aleister Crowley was contacted by a being named Aiwass and during the several days of communication Crowley was dictated The Book of the Law or Liber AL vel Legis.
 He was commanded
  " Thou Shalt obtain the order & Value of the English Alphabet; Thou shalt find new symbols to attribute them unto" (Liber AL vel Legis II:55)

Crowley did make an honest attempt at doing just that in Liber Trigrammaton, but he was never fully satisfied with the results.
"There cometh one to follow thee: he shall expound it." (Liber AL Vel Legis II: 76)

So the mystery of an English Valued system stayed in open season, there have been many attempts at an ordering and valuing of the language over the years. Most common have been simply translating into Hebrew or Latin or Greek and using that system, or simply give A the value of 1, B the Value of 2 and so on and so forth. Let me say this, there is nothing wrong with any of the approaches, the nature of being a magician means, trial and error, experimenting but when it comes down to it, what is right for you is right. Simple as that. Also let me say this, i am not saying that this system is any better than other systems in existence, i am just saying it is right for me, and I believe everyone should if they will it. Give this system a chance and perform  some experiments with it. Now back to my story.
In the 70's a few individuals began experimenting with the riddle and stumbled onto some interesting coincidence. The main clue they stumbled upon came from Frater Achad in his Liber 31

" Then I noticed another very important thing. I was wondering why A and L should be chosen, or rather why L the 12th letter of the Hebrew alphabet should follow A, the first."


Now I am not saying this is the key to the cypher but let me start handing out some of the evidence Jim Lees discovered that convinced him.
The number 11 is an important number in the book of the law.
There is 11 letters between A and L. So Jim began counting 11 and produced this Key

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

Here are some interesting facts

• First letter A, Second B, Third is W nice anagram for law but nothing that is all that amazing.
•   The second fact is that the grid in the hand written manuscript for Liber AL  Chapter III verse 47 contains a line that reads. "Then This Line drawn is a key

  Now take the same grid and Vertical from the first column Fill it in A,B,C,D and so on till J then move on to the next column and start again with K, L, so on. Repeat till Z and Start the alphabet over again. It should look something like this, forgive me my scanner is acting up so i have to use a substitute.

In the first diagram you see a circle and a cross a traditional symbol for the Rosy Cross. Using this system Rosy Cross = 81
The manuscript continues " Then this circle squared in it's failure, is a key also."

Note the circle is drawn where the letter K would be positioned using this system. K=9. 9 squared is 81 and 81= rosy cross.

Note the circle infringes upon the square where U would be located.
K=9 ans U= 17
By adding them all together we end up with 26 which is the number of letters in the English alphabet.

• Researcher Jake Stratton-Kent, discovered if you convert all the letters in Liber AL II: 76 into the English Qabalah equivalents, you received a value of 351. If you add all the letters of the English alphabet together you also received the vale 351
• English Alphabet= 187 two words that also =187 are " Magnificent" " Perfection"
• Read Chapter I verse 24  Then Check the numeric value of Nuit. it comes out too 78
• Multiply 7 and 8 that equals 56 which is the same thing as saying six and fifty

Ok rather than saying Love is the law, love under will. we say 93 93/93. When converted in NAEQ Love is the law, love under will, it equals 279. 93*3= 279

These are just a few reasons while a lot of researchers in Thelema are starting to lean towards using this system.
Those of you interested in learning more, I will continue posting more detailed uses of this system.
Remember this is not my work, but the work of countless others who came before me
Special thanks to Gerald Del Campo for his book The Heretics Guide to Thelema. From Which I learned a significant amount of this material.

Sincerely,
