Spirit Whirled: July's End with Black Swans

IGNE NATURA RENOVATUR INTEGRA

Through fire, Nature is reborn whole. Does that sentence not contain the imagery of the phoenix? Eve means life. But life comes from the divine spirit of God, the One: I. The Yod is 10 in numerology, which becomes 1 (1 + 0) and looks almost identical to the first letter of the word life. Life comes from God, El, which is the power of the One. The Hebrew name of the Great Architect is יהוה (pronounced Yo-vuh, which is why the Pope pronounces Jove like Ho-vuh), and it starts with Yod (10, which is 1).

Hebrew reads from right to left, from dexter to sinister, and so it is spelled Yod, he, vav, he (IEVE, 1-EVE, or JHVH). The name Eve (חַוָּה) looks similar to the name of God (יהוה) even in Ancient Hebrew, and it is similar to Eva and Ava in every language, which brings Ave Maria to mind. Eve (as a verb) is to be, and so Jeve/Ieve/1-eve is the one being. The alone one, Solus, is encoded in the name John (I-ON-ES), the One, the being, the fire (the Sun).

The Yod forms all other letters. It is the unity of consciousness. To know one is to know the other. This is the Principle of Correspondence. This book touches upon numerology, Gematria, Theosophical reduction and addition, and other forms of occult systems. It is important to stress my viewpoint that though these systems exist, they are not natural sciences. Mankind invented them to explain things when ideas and other symbolism fell short in conveying value. These systems do not exist in nature and thus have no bearing on your life in the natural world. So until otherwise proven (in nature), it is my view that these systems do not predict your future, they do not determine the quality of your life, and you are not destined for any particular fate due to the numerological value of the letters in your name or the dates of your birthday, or anything else. They can be fun to play with, but they should not be used for divination.

The Yod is 10, the He is 5, and the Vav is 6. In the name of God, there are two He letters because they show the dualism of God. God (Yod) divided by two is He (10/2 = 5). Yod + He +Vav + He = 26. The doubling of He equals God (Yod). 5 + 5 = 10. 55 = EE. EE reflected looks like 33. The He represents all things corresponding to the sacred feminine while the Yod represents all that corresponds to the sacred masculine. The first letter of the Hebrew alphabet (aleph: א) is composed of four Yods (י). Contemplate all the things there are four of in the immutable laws of this construct, world, or realm. When you contemplate that Yod's meaning of hand (of God) and Jew and their correspondence to Iota, I, and J, it's easy to see how the first letter in the Hebrew name corresponds to Jew'Pater, Iuppiter, Jupiter, who is Jove, the Great Architect of the Masonic tradition. Why? Refer to The Blackest of All Magick to discover what a Hebrew really is. So if the religions of Ancient Egypt, Freemasonry, Judaism, and Christianity all share the same Great Architect, what can you discover about them?

Conceptualize Yod as the soul and the He as life. Vav corresponds to 6, not only because it is the sixth letter, but also because it is the affinity between active and passive nature, between Yod (10) + He (5) = 15 = 6 (Vav). This relationship symbolizes Ego—Non-Ego and the affinity between them. The second He represents this trinity generating its metaphysical properties into the physical world it creates. If only these three letters are examined, their trinity is Yod-He-Vav. Say it aloud as though it were one word. What does it sound like? Jehovah.
