Liber Trigrammaton
Sub Figura XXVII
(with notes and commentary by Joel Love)
Being the Book of the Trigrams of the Mutations of the Tao with the Yin and the Yang
Here is Nothing under its three forms. It is not,
yet informeth all things. |
Dot is Zero.
Single line is One.
Broken line is Two.
The trigrams can be seen as base three numbers. The EQ values from 1 to 26 can be assigned to the trigrams by their value as a number. As the first trigram is 000 = 0, it is not assigned a letter (silence).
|
Now cometh the glory of the Single One,
as an imperfection and stain. |
001 = 1 = A : EQ value
100 = 9 = A : Cipher X value
Cipher X is obtained by taking the letter assigned by Eq values and giving it the value of the trigram read top to bottom (inverted).
Using the values the letters in both ciphers it is possible to plot out Liber XXVII on a graph. Click here to see a picture of the graph and a calculator for both values.
|
But by the Weak One the Mother was it equilibrated. |
002 = 2 = L : EQ value
200 = 18 = L : Cipher X value
Note that the Graph of Liber XXVII when plotted out, can be projected onto a cube (the cube in the circle) The Blue line was added to help visualize the cube. This may be useful in the construction of 3D sigils.
|
Also the purity was divided by Strength,
the force of the Demiurge. |
010 = 3 = W : EQ value
010 = 3 = W : Cipher X value
This is the last trigram that falls in the classic EQ pattern (0ALW). The rest of the trigrams are skew-wise and the line formed by plotting them on the Graph is Red.
|
And the Cross was formulated in the Universe that as yet was not. |
020 = 6 = D : EQ value
020 = 6 = D : Cipher X value
Zero and Eight of the Letters have trigrams with the same values in both EQ and Cipher X.
0WVDCJBIP
Their value in both EQ and CX is 117. It can be seen as the diagonal line running from Zero to P in the Cube.
|
But now the Imperfection became manifest,
presiding over the fading of perfection. |
100 = 9 = K : EQ value
001 = 1 = K : Cipher X value
Note the relationship of 1/9 and A/K. Reflections in base three. In 'A' we have the "glory of the Single One, as an imperfection" and in 'K' we have "the Imperfection became manifest". Implying that the Cipher X values are the manifest values of their EQ reflection. Or to look at it with an existing view, it is the "Reward" of the letters seen as base three numbers.
|
Also the Woman arose,
and veiled the Upper Heaven with her body of stars. |
200 = 18 = F : EQ value
002 = 2 = F : Cipher X value
Again note the relationship between 2/18 and F/L. "the Woman" in this trigram and "the Mother" in 'L'.
|
Now then a giant arose, of terrible strength;
and asserted the Spirit in a secret rite. |
011 = 4 = H : EQ value
110 = 12 = H : Cipher X value
|
And the Master of the Temple balancing all things arose; his stature was above the Heaven and below Earth and Hell. |
012 = 5 = S : EQ value
210 = 21 = S : Cipher X value
|
Against him the Brothers of the Left-hand Path,
confusing the symbols.
They concealed their horror [in this symbol];
for in truth they were
|
021 = 7 = O : EQ value
120 = 15 = O : Cipher X value
This is the only verse to have two trigrams. The primary trigram is not well defined.
|
The master flamed forth as a star and set a guard of Water in every
Abyss. |
022 = 8 = Z : EQ value
220 = 24 = Z : Cipher X value
|
Also certain secret ones concealed the Light of Purity in
themselves,
protecting it from the Persecutions. |
101 = 10 = V : EQ value
101 = 10 = V : Cipher X value
|
Likewise also did certain sons and daughters of Hermes and of
Aphrodite,
more openly |
102 = 11 = G : EQ value
201 = 19 = G : Cipher X value
|
But the Enemy confused them.
They pretended to conceal that Light,
that they might betray it,
and profane it. |
201 = 19 = Q : EQ value
102 = 11 = Q : Cipher X value
|
Yet certain holy nuns concealed the secret in songs upon the lyre. |
202 = 20 = B : EQ value
202 = 20 = B : Cipher X value
|
Now did the Horror of Time pervert all things,
hiding the Purity with a loathsome thing,
a thing unnameable. |
110 = 12 = R : EQ value
011 = 4 = R : Cipher X value
|
Yea,
and there arose sensualists upon the firmament,
as a foul stain of storm upon the sky. |
120 = 15 = Y : EQ value
021 = 7 = Y : Cipher X value
|
And the Black Brothers raised their heads;
yea,
they unveiled themselves without shame or fear. |
210 = 21 = M : EQ value
012 = 5 = M : Cipher X value
|
Also there rose up a soul of filth and of weakness,
and it corrupted all the rule of the Tao. |
220 = 24 = T : EQ value
022 = 8 = T : Cipher X value
|
Also did Heaven manifest in violent light, |
112 = 14 = N : EQ value
211 = 22 = N : Cipher X value
|
And in soft light. |
121 = 16 = J : EQ value
121 = 16 = J : Cipher X value
|
Then were the waters gathered together from the heaven,
|
211 = 22 = X : EQ value
112 = 14 = X : Cipher X value
|
And a crust of earth concealed the core of flame.
|
122 = 17 = U : EQ value
221 = 25 = U : Cipher X value
|
Around the globe gathered the wide air,
|
212 = 23 = I : EQ value
212 = 23 = I : Cipher X value
|
And men began to light fires upon the earth. |
221 = 25 = E : EQ value
122 = 17 = E : Cipher X value
|
Therefore was the end of it sorrow;
yet in that sorrow a sixfold star of glory whereby they might see
to return unto the stainless Abode;
yea,
unto the Stainless Abode. |
222 = 26 = P : EQ value
222 = 26 = P : Cipher X value
This could be accomplished by the formula of 2 = 0.
