PROPHECY

the Tree whose root is 31, and the entire numerical-verbal 
system based thereupon organized with incredibly simple 
intricacy; well, that is an Eohippus of an entirely different 
tint! It is no more the chance (if happy) statement of any 
smooth-tongued philosopher, but the evidence of, and the 
key to, an incalculably vast design. As well attribute the 
Riemann-Christoffel Tensor to the "happy thought" of some 
post -prandial rna them a tician. 
Here is another case. 
Now then this two-in-One letter <. 0, is the third Key to 
this Law; and on the discovery of that fact, after years of 
constant seeking, what sudden splendours of Truth, sacred as 
secret, blazed in he midnight of my mind! Observe now; "this 
circle squared in its failure is a key also.' Now I knew that in 
the value of the letters of ALHIM, 'the Gods', the Jews had 
concealed a not quite correct value of n, the ratio of a 
circle's circumference to its diameter, to 4 places of decimals: 
3.1415; nearer would be 3.1416. If I prefix our Key, 31 
putting ()« 0, Set or Satan, before the old Gods, I get 
3.141593,1T correct to Six places, Six being my own number 
and that of Horus the Sun. 
And one more, this time an actual prediction. 
Here again is what might at first seem almost an evasion! 
"One cometh after him," indeed! I suppose so. It fits 
anybody who discovers it or claims to have done so. 
Not one little bit! 
For when the time came, and the Key was found, the 
finder's name in the Order was-and had been from the 
moment of his admission as a Probationer-A chad , the 
Hebrew word for "One." And he came "after him" in the 
precise technical sense, that he was in fact the next person to 
undertake the Adventure of the Abyss. 
I hope you are not getting the idea that my Prophetic 
ambit 
is limited 
to these high-falutin' 
metaphysical 
masterpieces of Runic Lore. In case you do, I now propose to 
break your "seven green withes that were never dried"
