[1] INTRODUCTION
Magick as we know it today would be seriously retarded if not
for the massive volumes of information recorded and expounded by
Aleister Crowley. This well known and accepted fact is backed up by
the wide spread reference to his works from those who both favor and
oppose his theory and concepts.
Anyone who takes the time to research this man and his
writings will soon discover that "The Book of The Law" is truly the
most profound and important of all his writings. "The Law" was
dictated (through automatic writing) in Cairo, Egypt between noon and
1 pm on three successive days, April 8th, 9th, and 10th in the year
1904. The importance of the writings explain a current change in the
universal unconsciousness which dominate the evolutionary process of
humans. It is a shift in rule, represented by Egyptian gods. Our
current rule, or the Aeon of Horus, has been in place since 1904,
hence Crowley's Cairo writings.
The Book of The Law is brief in nature consisting of three
parts. In part two, verse 76, there is a Qabalistic test comprised of
a series of letters and numbers. The test is an invitation to any
person who may claim to be the magical heir of the Beast. It also
states in verse 76 that Crowley is never to know this mystery.
The fact that this was a mathematical challenge probably fit
well with Crowley who emphasized that mathematics was the first key
ingedient on the art of training the mind.
"Now, concerning the first foundation of thy Mind I will say
somewhat. Thou shalt study with Diligence in the Mathematics,
because thereby shall be revealed unto thee the Laws of thine
own Reason and the Limitations thereof. This Science
manifesteth unto thee thy true Nature in respect of the
Machinery whereby it worketh, and showeth in pure Nakedness,
without Clothing of Personality or Desire, the Anatomy of thy
conscious Self. Furthermore, by this thou mayst understand
the Essence of the Relations between all Things, and the
Knowledge of Form. For this Mathematics is as it were the
last Veil before the Image of Truth, so that there is no
better way than our Holy Qabalah, which analyseth all Things
soever, and reduceth them to pure Number; and thus their
Natures being no longer coloured and confused, they may be
regulated and formulated in Simplicity by the Operation of
Pure Reason, to thy great Comfort in the Work of our
Transcedental Art, whereby Many become One."
-Aleister Crowley, from Liber Aleph, vel CXI
Yes mathematics is a very important part of Magick. But this
shouldn't be a hang-up. Basic mathematical understanding and the
ability to "think" mathematically are all that is required. I,
myself, am computer illiterate and in my senior high school year I had
a 35% average in Algebra going into the multiple choice departamental
final. Answering three of the fifty questions, then circling "C" on
the remainder I managed to graduate with a passing grade. In an
unfinished attempt at university my only math class (101) had a final
grade of D.
Aside of my low math status I never lost sight of the
importance basic math had in the study of Magick. And further
incentive came to me when reading in Aleister Crowley's book 777 and
Other Qabalistic Writings where he stated: "But this is the final
test; repeat my researches, obtain your own holy numbers; then, and
not before, will you fully understand their Validity, and the Infinite
wisdom of the Grand Arithmetician of the Universe."
Obtain holy numbers I did, waking from a restless sleep at 3
am on a January morning in 1993 to jot down a numeric value of the
English alphabet.
[2] THE PROFOUND KEY OF IT ALL
"Thou shalt obtain the order & value of the English Alphabet;
thou shalt find new symbols to attribute them unto."
- The Book of The Law, Part II, Verse 55
A = 1
B = 20
C = 6
D = 5
E = 70
F = 17
G = 3
H = 50
I = 1^2
J = 13
K = 10
L = 4
M = 9
N = 8
O = 2^2
P = 60
Q = 30
R = 90
S = 80
T = 100
U = 7
V = 2
W = 6^2
X = 0
Y = 40
Z = 0^2
(NOTE: The symbol ^ means exponent)
A + B + C + D + E + F + G + H + I + J + K + L + M +
N + O + P + Q + R + S + T + U + V + W + X + Y + Z =
1+20+6+5+70+17+3+50+1^2+13+10+4+9+
8+2^2+60+30+90+80+100+7+2+6^2+0+40+0^2 = 666
HOLY NUMERIC VALUE OF ITSELF =
(50+2^2+4+40)+(8+7+9+70+90+1^2+6)+(2+1+4+7+70)+(2^2+17)+(1^2+100+80+70+4+17)=
98 + 191 + 84 + 21 + 272 = 666
ALEISTER CROWLEY =
(1+4+70+1^2+80+100+70+90)+(6+90+2^2+6^2+4+70+40) =
416 + 250 = 666
THE PROFOUND KEY OF IT ALL =
(100+50+70)+(60+90+2^2+17+2^2+7+8+5)+(10+70+40)+(2^2+17)+(1^2+100)+(1+4+4)
=
220 + 195 + 120 + 21 + 101 + 9 = 666
[3] VERSE 76, PART II
"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.
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."
Keeping in the Masonic tradition of "half concealed, half
revealed" the mystery is solveable by adding the "concealed" value of
the letters to "revealed" value of the numbers.
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 =
4+6+3+8+(1)+(20)+(10)+2+4+(1)+(4)+(3)+(9)+
(2^2)+(90)+3+(40)+(0)+24+89+(90)+(60)+(80)+(100)+(2^2)+(2)+(1)+(4) =
75 + 591 = 666
The following is from "The Law is for All", Crowley's
commentary on Verse 76: "Verse 76 appears to be a Qabalistic test (on
the regular pattern) of any person who may claim to be the magical
heir of the Beast. Be ye well assured all, that the solution, when it
is found will be unquestionable. It will be marked by the most
sublime simplicity, and carry immediate conviction."
SIMPLE PROVEN SOLUTION =
(80+1^2+9+60+4+70)+(60+90+2^2+2+70+8)+(80+2^2+4+7+100+1^2+2^2+8) =
224 + 234 + 208 = 666

The following quote is from the Chapter known as The
Twelvefold Renunciation of God and the Unity thereof in "The
Pathworkings of Aleister Crowley" : "O my God, Thou mighty One, Thou
Creator of all things, I renounce unto Thee the kisses of my mistress,
and the murmur of her mouth, and all the trembling of her firm young
breast; so that I may be rolled in a flame in Thy fiery embrace, and
be consumed in the unutterable joy of Thine everlasting rapture."

15. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast
should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the
beast should be killed.

number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is
Six hundred and Sixty Six.
