THE QABALAH
51
When investigating the name and other words communicated
to you by such beings as you meet there, or invoke, many
more will come up in their proper connections. Very soon
you will have quite a nice little Sepher Sephiroth of your
very own. Remember to aim, above all things, at coherence.
It is excellent practice, by the way, to do some mental
arithmetic on your walks; acquire the habit of adding up any
names that you have come across in your morning's reading.
Nietzsche has well observed that the best thoughts come by
walking; and it has happened to me, more than once or twice,
that really important correspondences have come, as by a
flashlight, when I was padding the old hoof.
You will have noticed that in this curt exposition I have
confined myself to Gematria, the direct relation of number
and word, omitting any reference to Notariqon, the accursed
art of making words out of initials, like (in profane life) Wren
and Gestapo and their horrid brood, or to Temurah, the art
of altering the position of the letters in a word, a sort of
cipher; for these are almost always frivolous. To base any
serious calculations on them would be absurd.
Love is the law, love under will.
Fraternally,

P.S. You should study The Equinox. Vol. I, No.5, The
Temple of Solomon the King for a more elaborate exposition
of the Qabalah.
