Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law

I here reveal what I believe to be the correct solution to the

grand cipher of Aleister Crowley’s Book of Law. The normal serial

order of English (A-Z = 1-26) and the universal stroke count order

are used to unravel the cipher. Prior to the date I discovered my

solution, I had suspected for a long time that the “line drawn”

within the cipher of the Book of Law III:47 subtracted the letters it

touched from the verse’s total Serial English sum to reveal an

important intended number. Specifically, I thought this intended

number was 4,774—an idea which occurred to me after enumerat-

ing the Book of Law III:47 in Serial English and finding its sum

total very close to 4,774 in number value.

My reason for positing that it would equal the number 4,774

specifically was due to the many correlations I had made with this

number. Firstly, I myself was born on 4/7/1974, Sun, at 7:24 p.m.,

where the month, day, and last two year numbers reduce to 4774.

4/7 is the day before the Book of Law was communicated to

Aleister Crowley, and 47 is the number of the verse that contains

the grand cipher. 47 + 74 = 121 = 11x11, and 11 is the number of

the sphere of תעד upon the Tree of Life, which equals 474 in

Metric Hebrew and means “knowledge.” The word Satan also

when written and spelled in full in Hebrew as ןאטאס equals 121

as 60+1+9+1+50 (which again is 47+74, or 11x11).

Two weeks after my 21st birthday I discovered a glyph created

by the symmetrization of the numerals 4774 (see frontispiece). For

lack of a better word I call it the 4774 Sword.1 This glyph was

discovered by me noticing that 4 & 7 could be related to the ideas

of will & love through the Tree of Life. I put the trident of the two

combined 4s above to represent the Jupiterean will of 4 as דסח ,

then I put the two combined 7s below to represent the Venusian

love of 7 as חצנ . Thus I found the 4774 Sword to be the visual

symbol for the magickal formula of “love under will.”

Further still I saw the glyph constituted as a crowned penta-

gram, symbolic of the perfected man. I saw it as an alternate

symbol of the Hebrew letter ש, which is the formula of the sacred

triad of father, mother, child. The father & mother are the two

hooks of the trident, while the child is the pentagram. I made the

connection that my age of 21 when I first discovered the 4774

Sword was also the Serial Hebrew value for the letter ש, which is

attributed to Key XX The Aeon. Upon calculating 4,774’s divisors,

I found that 11x434 = 4774, which allowed me to correlate the

word Abrahadabra to it. Abrahadabra’s common 4-3-4 letter

division as ABRA-HAD-ABRA taken as 434, multiplied by its 11

letters, is seen to encode the number 4,774. This can be read as

“the magickal door = 4774.” 11 is תעד as 474 and is also the num-

ber of magick. The 4th Hebrew letter ד is named תלד , numbered

as 434, and means “door.” Together this signifies 4774 as “the

magickal door.” The symbolism is aptly visualized by the 4774

Sword inside a vesica piscis (4x7 is the fourth geometric approxi-

mation of the vesica’s dimensions). Lastly my frater name of

Wizardiaoan, which was received six months after I discovered

the 4774 Sword, equals 121 (47+74) in Serial English. If Wiz-

ardiaoan is transliterated in Hebrew as ןאעאידראזיו it equals 360

in Metric Hebrew. When the name is numbered by the Metric

Square Hebrew order, it equals the amazing 47,704!

These correlations were made within six months after I first

discovered the 4774 Sword in April of 1995.2 A new wave of

correlative knowledge would come concerning 4774 after being

exposed to David Hulse’s Liber CCCXXX Abrahadabra, which

introduced me to the importance of the number 330 and the Mars

S.A.T.O.R. anagram. In December of 1998 I discovered the equa-

tion: 1,111 x 4 + 330 = 4,774. I used this equation to build a new

pentagram ritual, using the S.A.T.O.R. anagram as the diagram

within the circle of the temple’s floor.

This equation posits 1,111 as each elemental quarter, and 330

as its center. Upon knowledge of this equation I was also supplied

with the god names to use in each quarter and the center, for I had

already known that Hoor-paar-kraat as תרכרפורה equals 121 &

1,111 in Hebrew, and that Hru-ma-chis as סיחאמורה equals 78 &

330 in Hebrew. The god name of תרכרפורה is vibrated in each

elemental quarter, while the god name of סיחאמורה is vibrated in

the center to represent Spirit. These 5 god names of 8 letters each,

all in a 3-2-3 letter division and composed of the same first 3

letters (being ורה ), combine to create the grand 40 letter god name

of 4,774,3 who’s initials are ההההה :

A few months after this on 2/2/1999 I discovered the solution

to the cipher of the Book of Law II:76, being the glad word SATOR

AREPO TEXET OPERA ROTAS written upon the magickal square

of Mars.4 Upon playing around with its possible translations and

enumerations in various languages, I was amazed to find that

ΣΑΤΩΡ ΑΡΕΠΩ ΩΠΕΡΑ ΡΩΤΑΣ = 4,774 in Metric Greek, which

validated to me my solution. At this point, having just solved the

Book of Law II:76, I was now quite sure that the cipher of the Book

of Law III:47 must encode the number 4774 in its Serial English

verse sum.

I looked further into my early numbering of this verse using

the serial order of English and analyzed the “line drawn” in the

original manuscript to be sure upon what letters it touched. On

2/13/1999, two weeks after my solution to the Book of Law II:76, I

posited the letters the “line drawn” touches correctly as “a, f, yas,

I, t, eB, t, s,” = 127 in Serial English, but had the verse numbered

incorrectly in Serial English as 4,851 (ironically enough being off

by 47). Some months later I arrived at the correct verse sum for the

Book of Law III:47 in Serial English, which is 4,898 not counting

ampersands or the glyph of the “circle squared.” My partial

solution came on 8/14/1999, when I posited the correct equation:

4,898 – 127 + 3 = 4,774. Here I realized that just as the “line drawn”

subtracted the Serial English values of the letters “a, f, yas, I, t, eB,

t, s” from the verse sum, the “circle squared” in some way added

value to the verse sum as +3. At this time I could not surmise why

the “circle squared” was numbered in this way however.

My complete solution came to me on 8/23/1999, Sun, at

exactly 8:23 p.m. (823 is the 143rd prime, and 143 = “Hoor-paar-

kraat” in Serial English). This is when I realized that the “circle

squared” equals the value of 3 according to the number of strokes

it took to make it, by the non-alphabet specific stroke count order.

One cannot be sure of the exact stroke order in which Crowley

penned the “circle squared” originally, but it is certain that it is

composed of 3 strokes, being: 1) A clockwise circle; 2) A vertical

line; 3) A horizontal line.

My solution to the Book of Law III:47 is thus the equation

4,898 – 127 + 3 = 4,774 (being the glyph of the 4774 Sword). The

“line drawn” subtracts the Serial English values of the letters it

touches, being “a, f, yas, I, t, eB, t, s” = 127, from the verse’s sum of

4,898 in Serial English to yield 4,771. The “circle squared” then

adds 3 to the verse sum by the stroke count order, which are the

number of strokes it took to make it, as: 1) A clockwise circle; 2) A

vertical line; 3) A horizontal line. In this way of subtracting from

and then adding to the verse sum it is indeed seen that the final

value of 4,774 is attained.

The verse refers to three keys. The first is the “line drawn,” the

second is the “circle squared,” and the third is the word Abra-

hadabra. Beyond being used in the equation above, I believe they

are meant to be symbolic of the sacred triad (which it has been

demonstrated that the 4774 Sword represents), and particularly

the three speakers of the Book of Law. The “line drawn” repre-

sents the father as Hadit, who is part, point, and individual. Hadit

cuts through all manifestation as a black hole just as the “line

drawn” does, for he is always 0 as “not extended”: he kills or eats

up, subtracts, takes away. The “circle squared” represents the

mother as Nuit, who is whole, circumference, the universal infini-

ty: she gives life, adds to. The word Abrahadabra represents the

unity of these two opposites as the child, who is Ra-Hoor-Khuit:

he rejoices in the interplay of the two opposites. Abrahadabra is

the third key for the reason that it implies the triune formula

above, as well as encoding the number 4,774 within it as previous-

ly noted: its 4-3-4 letter division as ABRA-HAD-ABRA, multiplied

by its 11 letters, equals 4,774 as 11 x 434.5

The correct solution is described within the verse itself as “the

Key of it all.” The importance of “the Key of it all” is that it is the

ultimate sigil & summation of reality. The 4774 Sword fulfills this

phrase by being the unity of the sacred triad as related above.

However there is another way in which the 4774 Sword is seen as

being literally “the Key of it all,” and this is as the Tarot Key of the

all.

Three months before this solution came to me I was involved

in an ordeal concerning the Tarot, spurred by me realizing that the

phrase “צ is not the Star” from the Book of Law I:54 meant that

the English Tarot name for Key XVII was not named “The Star,”

but rather “The Sun.” I also posited that the Keys cannot be dou-

bly attributed, which left Spirit and Earth unaccounted for within

the 22-fold system. Both of these factors led me to consider possi-

ble tarotic attributions for the numbers past 22, which eventually

led to a 30-fold system being created, modeled upon Sanskrit and

other alphabets.

In this system I posited a new “element” as it were for the

number 30 & 3,000, which had the color black, and was symbolic

of the all as “the quintessence of all reality.” I needed a new sym-

bol for it, and thought to use my glyph of the 4774 Sword for it

(based upon its symbolic unity and the many correlations I had

made concerning it). Although not readily apparent to me at the

time, this does indeed posit the 4774 Sword quite literally as “the

Key of it all,” as it is the Tarot Key symbol for Key 30 & 3,000,

which in my system represents the black all that contains all color

within it as the quintessence of all reality.6 My solution to the Book

of Law III:47 is thus most simply the sigil of the 4774 Sword as

“the Key of it all,” being 4774 symmetrized.7
