PREFACE
The Moon Tarot card is number 18. Numerologically 1 + 8 = 9 that is the number of
The Hermit card also associated (in part) with the solitary persuasions of the moon and is
the ruling planet of the Sun sign Cancer. Mathematically, 8 - 1 = 7 which is the number of
The Chariot tarot card, is assigned to the sign of Cancer and a more than reasonable
comparison with card 1 of the Lenormand deck, The Rider (by association of movement &
modes of transport) which speaks of new beginnings echoed incidentally in the moon’s
waxing cycles. The Moon card (which is a powerful indicator of psychic awareness)
relates numerically to Lenormand’s Dog card, and which creatures have famous affinities
with the full moon? Wolves, from which all dogs are descended. Is it just a coincidence
that Cancerians tend to be particularly avid animal carers? (I have a Cancerian uncle, by
the by, who’s intuition is so powerful was able to tell the ladies in his office when they
were pregnant before they even knew - the moon which rules his sign being known to
induce even delayed child-birth when it is full).
Is it also a coincidence that The Fool card of the Tarot classically also portrays a dog
on the cliff - an image which portends a new beginning or a journey, just like The Rider of
the same attributed number?
The Hermit card numerically links with Lenormand’s Flowers card which attributes
the playing-card pip Queen of Spades. Associated with Tarot’s Queen of Swords, the
suggestions completely bypass the Flowers meanings of happiness, aestheticism and gifts
yet they echo deeper associations with the Sword Queen’s solitudes and intelligence - all
attributes of The Hermit and its assigned Sun Sign Virgo’s ruling planet, Mercury.
8.
Mercury (along with Uranus and Neptune) also links with Tarot card 1, The Magician,
which speaks of manifestation and initiation and is also not out of synch with the no. 1
Lenormand card, The Rider, either in terms of activity or movement and realizations of
energy flow.
Is this coincidence, creative association and/or pre-destination? Actually, I think it
is a little of each. I believe that coincidence is not always just misinterpreted synchronicity
because innocence exists, whereas synchronicity speaks of calculation and planning
somehow - even before that ‘synchronicity’ happens surprisingly upon it’s possibly pre-
destined subjects. If you ask me, creative imagination is the link between this innocence of
‘coincidence’ and the hierarchical ordinance of pre-destination, in the same manner that
creative visualization can be a very powerful gateway to the physical manifestation of
desire. I am always mindful of the fundamental phenomenon that embraces the
expansion of matter (being anything tangible or metaphysical) wherever energy is
concentrated.
Whether you believe in or agree with Einstein’s concept of the Holographic
Universe or not, science discovers more and more each day that this theory holds great
merit. I would really love to go off on one about it in this book but there are perfectly
excellent esoterically and scientifically inclined discussions and reasoning about it from
authors such as John Kehoe and Christopher Penczak to name but a couple of them.
The Six Degrees of Separation is also a concept that is truly a fantastic esoteric
indulgence - even if discarded as being twaddle or the Barnum Effect by the more cynical
school of thought. There’s a connection to be found somewhere in everything directly
related in one way or another. Well, to me that’s just plain obvious. The trick, I find, is to
9.
know how to look for it when it is not readily discernible. Of course, there is also the need
for the wisdom and the intuition to know when you are disadvantageously delving too
deep - and then to know the similarities between wisdom and intuition in the times they
are in fact not the same thing. Sometimes they are the same thing because intuition is
practically impossible as being fully effective without the supportive powers of wisdom to
usher it into more conscious comprehension. Sometimes they are not the same thing
because wisdom must exist separately in order to differentiate whether bouts of so-called
‘intuition’ are merely wishful thinking or fantasyland trips.
This is why logic and rationalization can be the Golden Mean, the mediator and the
universal equilibrium. If something can be deduced logically and rationally to show
factual evidence of the credibility or existence of something, especially when it happens to
fall outside of any one particular belief system (which then causes obstacles to generic
reasoning and progress), this is when the pragmatically earned wisdom takes the place of
the sometimes elusive intuition. Everyone is actually allowed the access to truth somehow
even if they must access it from different angles of free understanding.
It is only in a small part that I have written this book self-indulgently. It quells my
thirst for deep dissection, and allows me to expound my eccentric notions in the
abandonment of the danger of offending or confusing real-time conversationalists terribly
- one of my occasional party tricks...apparently...
But I am very happy to announce (with much less self-importance than this
announcement might sound thus far) that a grand 98% of it has been written with great
love, best of intentions and inspired by my very sincere appreciation for discovering as
much truth as I can before I wilt from interaction with this life someday. I have always
10.
been very drawn to divination and have found it’s light to be immeasurable in times of the
most indescribable darkness’s - which I assure you I have endured like many of you out
there will similarly have done.
Unfortunately, sometimes that very darkness was paradoxically caused by
divination through misinterpretation, and once you’ve experienced that you will know
that it can rival a Hydra chasing you in a nightmare.
I believe that there is such a massive responsibility when trying to uncover hidden
knowledge for just yourself let alone another being. This is what has always encouraged
me to seek links, find relationships and bridge gaps between unknown or conflicting
territories, and to seek the surety and protection offered by established awareness. The
responsibility, I feel, has been very painfully earned and has driven me to leave no card or
stone unturned until I at least definitely feel 100% satisfied and certain that not even the
smallest fragment of deception or misinterpretation has eluded me - certainly as far as
tangible evidence is concerned.
I do not actually believe that there is such a thing as ‘over-analysis’. I believe that
such a concept only relates to instances when the wrong things are being analyzed in the
first place. If any amount of intensive investigation will lead to the truth - how can this be
too extreme?
All of life is a paradox. Truth is simple and yet created from the most complex
natures of our universe. Sometimes you really do have to go back to go forwards and,
sometimes when the lantern candle dies, you have no alternative but to look into the
darkness and find your way in faith. Wisdom and intuition are allies to those who are
11.
fortunate to possess them, as is rationality and deduced reasoning a great companion to
those who have yet to discover the more crucial assistance of those magnificent wonders.
Faith is the greatest paradox of all. It requires you to have it in order to know it,
and yet it does not show itself to you unless you can recognize it without ever having
encountered it before.
In faith, and with love I send this offering out to the world. Whether you believe in
science, spirit or placebo, I can only say that I hope your experience here will not be void
of trust as you consistently recall the great Socrates’ wisdom - “I know one thing: that I know
nothing”.
My best wishes to you on your remarkable life-journey. It is the wish of this book
that at some stage on the path it may provide some sturdy spades for your deeper
excavations of truth...

INTRODUCTION
Divination
You do not have to have psychic awareness or even possess developed intuitive
skills in order to conduct a perfectly reasonable divinatory consultation. If I am not really
technically minded and I have an instruction manual which clearly indicates to me what
goes where and why when I am assembling a new home appliance or installing software
on my computer, the chances are I will end up, perhaps with some added luck, with a
working artifact just the same in the end. Of course, the difference would be that I may do
it more proficiently and with less cursing and frustration if I did have adept knowledge of
this assembly and an innate persuasion towards mechanics.
The same thing applies to divination for sure. The borders of the pictures on the
cards could stand to represent boundaries between the card’s divinatory meanings and a
wider territory of understanding and perception. Most certainly this would be the case if
the archetypal High Priestess, Hierophant and Hermit were not inherently present within
our spiritual centers as ‘ferry-folk’ to transport our pilgrimages across the lakes of the
unseen to the landscapes where the roots of all subconscious awareness and secret
knowledge sprouts.
A ‘perfectly reasonable’ reading could be considered to have an amount of value, or
none at all - just like anything viewed from an applicable angle. It may have absolutely no
value to someone who seeks a consultation with a profound need for deeper
understanding and insight from a seasoned reader whom has been entrusted with the
13.
responsibility to deliver a safe and truthful map of insights. The querent could then just as
well lay the cards down for them-self and read the divinatory meanings in the deck’s
provided booklet or companion guide and glean little more knowledge than a complete
stranger would by the same process.
However, in the situation where there is no available access to psychic awareness,
developed intuition or experienced wisdom, a ‘perfectly reasonable’ reading could very
well have it’s worth elated to that of consultations with the presence of the entire cosmic
force because a reading in that sense is miraculously possible at all (even in the absence of
facets that can ultimately empower it) as a result of mere instruction and pre-determined
information. A battery-driven electrical device running on full power with an empty-ish
battery cell, so to speak.
Without empirical evidence, it can only be assumed that the majority of people who
acquire their very first oracle system have relied rather intensely on the accompanying
instructions and universal meanings, at least in the beginning. Many may very well have
found that the very trial and error of this way of deepening understanding and learning
the messages was principal in their eventual ability to grasp the inherent power within
them in order to discard the ‘paddling-wings’ as they waded ever deep into the pools of
their subconscious.
Assuming that someone has no access to an authority on the subject, has no
conscious acceptance or awareness of any psychic skill and is relying completely on the
provided directions, how else would one discover whether or not what one was
attempting to divine was the truth or not? If they never seemed to stumble on an activity
in their day that was indicated by the instruction booklet’s divinatory meaning for their
14.
daily spread or what have you, they might very well have thrown in the towel and placed
their deck up for bidding on eBay.
But the fact that people who begin this way and find themselves twenty years or so
down the line to be experienced and highly intuitive diviners does indicate that there was
most certainly more than one case of assimilation between the instruction book and their
daily life experiences. In fact, it was that accuracy in multiple cases that encouraged them,
helped develop their skills and taught them the fundamental messages of their chosen
divinatory systems.
So, it was those ‘perfectly reasonable’ readings that led them eventually to conduct
truly inspired and insightful ones and that developed their awareness to the point of
seeing the hidden meaning in the lives of complete strangers - and certainly not least
within themselves as well.
When you know yourself, you have truly come to know others around you. This
principle applies to the relationship between you and your chosen method/s of divination
too. Even in prayer, we must have some understanding of who we are in order to know
what to ask for.
Within the images, positions and patterns universally accepted and described in the
instructions lies the presence of fundamental truths and existences which already
encapsulate the higher knowledge that you are attempting to open yourself up to listen to.
As with anything, the key is in fine-tuning your hearing so that you might hear all or even
more than what has been readily available up to that point. Often, what we do not hear is
the things that is calling us the loudest and without healthy expansion, all things either
become stagnant or begin the reversal process of dying.
15.
Any divinatory system that is carefully and persistently explored and employed
will expand personal awareness and esoteric skill the same as weight-lifting builds muscle
in the gym. You can only grow whilst you learn things you have never been aware of
before and also whilst you are unveiling aspects of your own existence that no other being
could show you in entirety but yourself through being open and receptive to that truth.
This book is intended for the adept and the beginner of divinatory systems alike.
The intention is for adepts to be able to enhance their abilities even further by way of new
consideration and for the beginner to have a resource that will allow them to advance
(hopefully much more swiftly than before through current divinatory instruction) to an
immediate level that could compare with at least the lower echelons of psychically skilled
adepts. Whilst learning cannot be rushed it may be enhanced and, as each precious day of
our lives leaves us so very quickly, time is the most valuable asset we possess. If you will,
this book intends in part and with humility to offer a way of using that time wisely and
economically. Eventually...
Keeping Things In Perspective: A Personal View
Divination is something that is far less mystical by nature than it is given credit for,
in my humble opinion. Yes, there are undeniable ‘coincidences’ involved - uncanny
occurrences appearing to be guided by unseen forces can be plentiful in this area - and yet
once a structure or explanation of order is provided there is an understanding that these
things have potentially easy explanation.
16.
If the belief is taken into account that there is in existence an Akashic Record - a
spiritual library of all that has ever been, is now and ever will be - then it surely will also
be taken into account that it contains all that could have been, maybe is and could ever be.
Because of the nature of ‘destiny‘ and ‘fate’, and how we are constantly changing our
minds and therefore our choices and actions, surely there must be preparation in advance
in accounting for any eventuality?
In this sense, divination is not some ‘evil’ act of looking into the future and seeing
‘what should and can only be seen by a force higher than ourselves’. It is a perfectly
natural and accessible one. How many times have you heard someone say in hindsight
“If only I knew then what I know now!”.
There are mediums with undeniable gifts who are capable of being a
communicative ‘device’ between the departed souls in the ethers and those still alive in
our dimensions. The Christian Bible tells a man to trust his wife’s intuition - a gift, and
perfectly natural facet of human life. Taking into account that we have both masculine
and feminine qualities in us (if not just because of how we develop genetically in the
womb) it is not blasphemy to acknowledge that men are often very powerfully gifted with
this trait as well.
The lyrics from the song Que Sera Sera which ponder “Whatever will be will be, the
future’s not ours to see...” take on an entirely different meaning when applied to this
philosophy because it simply then translates to say that we have not yet made our minds
up about what we would like to happen in the future (where any control truthfully
remains to be ours) and that until we look for guidance and options, we cannot see what
will occur for certain - only what could be the outcome of a question at the given time of
divining - should we not veer from the suggested course of action.
17.
I believe that the ability to ‘see into the future’ is simply an ability for the
subconscious to latch onto pre-determined options which have been found in an astral
filing system by way of universal imagery and connection which stimulate directions to
the aisle and cabinet number in the universal subconscious filing room, and then reads
those contents of the file into conscious thought. Programming also has it’s nature firmly
planted in the human subconscious and we witness this in how we are conditioned to
believe or not to believe in things since the day we are born.
Furthermore, when we set out to do an equation, like calculating item prices
towards to final total whilst grocery shopping at the supermarket, we intend to discover a
precise result in order for us to make choices based on that precise result. In this sense, the
simple fact that so many formal entries of more mystically attributed mantic systems are
based so blatantly upon the power of the number - there has to figure at some point that
the result has been intended to be precise and even more so - calculable.
Incense, pan-flute music, candles, veils, tents and crystals...all of these tools provide
a very helpful addition to many people’s divination sessions because of the mood that it
puts them into. As Anthony Louis relays it succinctly in his book Tarot Plain and Simple, a
sense of expectancy and atmosphere can be extremely important when approaching any
divinatory tool for answers as it relaxes the body and gears the mind towards being
optimally receptive. Some people find no need for this, but there is undoubted
recognition of the benefits of feeling present in any sort of place and time that is not
mundane, in order to receive the divine. Austin Osman Spare recognized this profoundly
as a way for the subconscious mind to access programming through the state of Gnosis.
Where there lies the opportunity for The Barnum Effect (or Forer Effect) to arise as
reasoning, then mathematics or any other precise order can assist in greatly eradicating
18.
this. Where Barnum’s theory applies to information that is offered after awareness of how
it could apply to multiple cases of acceptance, numerology (or any definitive order)
conducted for drawing comparisons and universal links between aspects of existence
which are very far removed in origin and have never been affiliated before the discovery is
made, the truth of what is being presented stands unstained by pre-emption because the
natural laws of relativity and parallelism govern the findings.
I believe that the ‘mysticism’ involved in divination is not apparent in the manner
in how we are able to access it, yet in the manner in which we are able to receive and
accept and ‘compute’ it. I would far rather know how to potentially avoid hurting
someone or prevent myself from walking into unnecessary pitfalls by discovering the
readily available information that can assist me in doing so. The chances are that if you
believe that demons are deceiving you with false information through divination, then the
chances are also that you may believe they are hidden and alive in that bar of chocolate
that is sitting on the table in front of you that you know you shouldn’t have, but...
No. I do not believe that divination is neither temptation nor reprimandable
curiosity. Of course, like anything that is abused, most often it is the abuser who pays the
greatest price ultimately. I believe that we must be responsible for our choices and
recognize that blaming anything that isn’t ourselves for every ‘evil’ that we can potentially
cross is the greatest sin of all, because it castrates the spirit within us from having any
power and truth - the two things which have caused some of the most beautiful things to
exist in our universe and some of the most positive advancements to occur in our world.
Everything in our universe is made of light and dark at the same time. Sometimes
dark seems light and sometimes light seems dark. Sometimes we need the accidents and
the mistakes in order to help us grow. Sometimes we certainly do not.
19.
I do not believe that we are ever given information that will help us evade lessons
that are ultimately for our highest good and therefore the highest good of all. Where
divination can really help in the instances that it cannot shield us from our karma, is that it
most definitely can bring us to heal from it through providing understanding.
It may be more important than anything during these explorations to remember the
fundamental way in which divinatory systems work in a bid to continue the
demystification in favor of scientific amalgamation, only so far as to promote the
awareness amongst the more superstitious that they will not necessarily burn in hell for
the shuffling of a Tarot deck any more than they would for using their memory intently
and creatively.
When you visit your favorite holiday location with that special view of the scenery
that is so beloved by you, you take a photograph to take back home with you - a passage
through which you can see the past and recall the fond memories you associate with it. In
the same way you look down that passage whilst considering and imagining the future
events in that image. And often to accompany the snapshot you take, you stand there for
a moment, feeling the wind and smelling the nature around you in order for you to have a
clear experience when you reminisce through that two-dimensional portal of pixels.
There is absolutely no difference between that example and the way in which a
system such as Tarot is handled. Instruction books will suggest to you that you should
study each and every card in the deck and record your own personal impressions so that
you may see what you are looking to find. The act of tantalizing your subconscious into
recreation is the mantra of the sigil and the oracle alike. There is no juju, hoodoo or
20.
witchcraft, and no special magick involved in the recollection ritual of your holiday spot.
Through the tools you have made and the details you have retained, you are able to travel
through time and be as one as possible with the experience you seek to duplicate or
divine. It’s a process we experience every day of our lives through the human act of
thinking.
To employ an image that you did not create yourself, and which does not in any
specific way relate to an experience that you yourself have had or wished to retain
somehow in order to gain knowledge of an unknown experience or truth is on a par with
the act of going to a movie to see what the big Hollywood style poster for it is banging on
about.
An oracle is a system based on pre-determined truths, and devised for
compatibility and the comprehension of how we as humans attempt to find (and indeed
need as a part of a healthy and normal existence) the information that our brains were put
into our skulls to absorb. There is no magick or paranormality in wanting to learn the
truth, and there is no mystical force that teaches it. The mystical aspect of divination is
you. You want to believe...
The Devil of the Tarot majors is a reminder, if anything that the force associated
with it is very much in existence. The French poet, Baudelaire wrote a short story in 1864
which contains a valuable quote: “My dear brothers, never forget, when you hear the progress of
enlightenment vaunted, that the devil's best trick is to persuade you that he doesn't exist!"
It is argued in this statement that those who are the most in danger are those who
are not made aware of this or do not concern themselves with the dangers in their daily
meditations and searches for guidance. Without acknowledgement of this evil, there is the
21.
belief that evil does not exist and therefore nothing is evil. Can you imagine living in a
world with the belief that anybody can do what they like because it is okay when you
consider what people can truly be capable of?
So it can also be argued that the way of the wise is not to shield ones-self from truth
for fear that one will be absorbed by the temptations inherent within that truth. If the
devil truly wants us to believe that it does not exist, would it make those temptations
within truth so obvious to those who have the intelligence and strength to refute their
strongholds?
The point of this discussion is to reflect upon the truth that is denied about the way
that divination works - especially when oracles are employed, and to attempt the
dispelling of myth which, when not donned in it’s bedtime story costume, can be the
greatest evil of all. With the use of oracles and the act of divination - whether seen as evil
or not - we attempt to discover ourselves by a slightly different means but in the same way
that we naturally do on a daily basis as human beings.
Donald Tyson, the late contemporary Magician, recorded accounts of demons
cowering upon hearing the name of Jesus, whom is not refuted or denied by divination
either yet recognized, even by those diviners who do not claim to be Christians, to stand
for and emanate purity, enlightenment and represent the highest evolutions of the soul.
The number of religions in this world which have Jesus Christ as a central figure and
teacher are so varied by their own man-made lists of rights and wrongs (which
incidentally differ and clash in so many cases), one could ponder how these altercations are
weakening the true messages and examples intended for the Light of the World to shine.
22.
It is argued that ignorance and mis-education are the real evil in this world. Where
the hearts of men are weak, they stand to be weaker yet by the lack of knowledge of how
to not allow that weakness to destroy them and the lives of those around them.
The day an oracle or divination system shows me how to destroy my life or any life
around me is the day it goes in the trash - and also a day that hell will freeze over, no
doubt. For an oracle system just simply is not devised in this way. If it wished to show us
lies, it would not show us how to uncover them...if we are wise and have made certain
that we are not using them incorrectly...
Having a chat over tea with a long-time pal and catching up on information that
you are not yet aware of but desire to know is just as much an act of divination as any.
One could consider that idle gossip is the most destructive form of all divination as it
issues lies as truth by way of un-clarified supposition at it’s best.
I like to enjoy my day. I prefer to go out and speak honestly with people and
discover what the cosmos has really been ‘keeping’ from me...
23.
CHAPTER ONE
OCCAM’S RAZOR
There is always going to be a concern when attempting to ‘fiddle’ with ancient,
respected and proven traditions and established systems that things could become
horribly blown out of proportion. There is also the concern that over-simplifying things
could occur by the temptation to discard information which does not fit as readily as other
interlocking tidbits. Surely there must be a reason that - even whilst comparable - mantic
systems exist separately beyond the more basic concerns of historical eras, cultures and
belief systems. There is no denying, in any event, that attempting to punch puzzle pieces
into incorrect spaces will mutilate both the microcosmic shape and the macrocosmic
picture.
Governing all other aspects of life - even those flourishing with the traits of chaos
and seeming disorganization - there is a natural and higher order in the universe. I’m
quite certain that trees could never be planted plentifully enough on the entire surface of
an Earth the size of Jupiter to provide the amounts of paper adequate for the pages of a
book that explains this in full cosmic detail.
We do know however that where there is any sort of order, there is also regulation,
whether naturally inscribed or offered as a result of philosophical or scientific pursuit.
The very reason that balance exists, both as an intrinsic universal rule and by equilibriums
that are set in order for restoration and progress, is a direct result of the existence of
counterparts. Plainly put, chaos is nothing without chaos. Without chaos there is no
24.
order and without order, chaos cannot be compared with order in order for it to be
definable as an opposite.
In addition to this, the assumption that all things natural are intentionally created
the way they are might not be so accepted from someone born with genetic disorders as
just one example. In that case, the disruption of a natural order is caused by a natural
disorder as opposed to a synthetic or man-made elemental interference - the results of
which can be quite devastating and long-lived down the hereditary lineages.
But what of the controversies that have been so present around stem cell research
and considerations and experiments of how the genetic make-up or D.N.A. may be altered
through scientific ‘tampering’ in order to reverse effects of natural devastations or for
modifications of other anomalies? Arguably, science is nature empowered by the
mechanics of it’s own produce - man. From that angle, all changes made to nature that are
man-made are natural - whether detrimental or beneficial is the real question.
The term ‘no man is an island’ possibly enjoys its worth here more than during most
of its other occasional uses because whilst it simply urges us that we do not individually
live alone on this planet, it also reminds us in retrospect that together we are in fact the
small fractions of a much larger equation. Holographically speaking, there is the entire
picture within a minuscule fragment that has been removed from that bigger picture. This
is of course not to say that there is a tiny chip of an actual Rune stone in a Tarot card, but
the same concept applies once the philosophies and attributes between the two systems
are broken down and evaluated - connections are established.
25.
The theologian, scholastic philosopher and English Franciscan friar William of
Ockham was a prominent pioneer of Medieval thought. His principle which is known as
Occam’s Razor is a staple guide used to measure the logistics of problem-solving. It’s states
(like a rational referee in games of logic) that where there are competing hypotheses, the
hypothesis that contains the least assumptions should be selected.
When all factors in such a search are considered, this principle reminds us that
duplicity also exists alongside duality, and can often appear one and the same. This
brings the need for mediation - to sift the veritable from the vanquishable, the significant
from the slight and the meaning from the madness.
Homosexuality is of the most superficial but widely controversial examples of this.
Belief systems may be responsible for the exaltation of its repudiation, but so too is a basic
lack of knowledge. This is, by the by, almost equal in uneducated opinion that when
someone claims that they are psychic, it is often expected that they are claiming
miraculous omniscience.
Back to sexuality controversies though, the main contention on the subject has
always seemed to arise from the idea that in order for nature to thrive, there must be two
separate opposites involved in creation, or the natural order of the universe is either
unbalanced or somehow blasphemed. It is often unknown or forgotten that some 1’500
species on Earth ranging from humans to insects exhibit this nature and are all - and have
always been - part of our aligned ecosystem.
Two parts within the whole is a reflection of two wholes within the part, in the
same manner that the phases of the moon are merely a sequenced glimpse of an entire and
ever-present surface. It stands to reason that in a universe where everything must have a
26.
counterpart in order for there to be balance, then these ‘controversies’ must indeed have
their seating places opposite incontrovertibility at the debate table.
It is lack of knowledge that needs combatting when attempting to tackle the mighty
divinatory systems’ rights to stand like islands in the vast sea of unconscious knowledge
and make them fit together as a single continent. At least, there must be more than
adequate evidence that the only reason this has not yet been achieved by even further
attempt is because of missing gaps of awareness and/or insufficient motivation.
Any hypotheses present within the following writings are partly offered through
experience from a (currently) living and profoundly introspective human being on this
planet, but all are certifiably based either on calculations with evidence of the entire
equations, or a complete eradication of any unfounded assumption.
Whilst being a parsimony of inspired genius, Occam’s Razor will not need to
adjudicate this journey of discovery from here on as it has already pre-determined what
will be encountered in these dealings....

CHAPTER TWO
APPROACHING THE MANTIC SYSTEMS
This is not a history book. It assumes only that you have previously had enough
curiosity and interest in having discovered the basics of the subject of divination. It also
assumes to a minor degree that you have some working knowledge and experience of one
or more of these tools, but does not require for this to be the case in order to assimilate the
ideas investigated. It strives to be a comprehensive study, yet the main area of interest is
not so much the need to have a deeply educated knowledge of the provenance and
development of each divinatory system before the present employments. For the purpose
of exploring the fundamental differences in order to synthesize them, it is desirable to
consider some basic history where applicable and only as a means to move into the future.
Any larger sized and reputable bookstore these days will display a Tarot deck or
divinatory tool of some sort which is flanked in all directions by many more varieties
including books dedicated to every subject within it’s capacities, from general history to
specific advanced styles of spreads to fresh ways of approaching classical texts. A good
and comprehensive list of books on the subject of divinatory systems is listed in the
‘Recommended Reading’ section for any who should feel the wild calls of academia.
Provided here though is a fairly brief discussion, necessary enough to cover the
fundamentals of required understanding. It is definitely not the intention to begin another
divinatory book in the same way that so many others have - no offense to the many
varying and remarkable works already published. If anything, there is little else that can
28.
be written that has not already been expounded in terms of information necessary for this
investigation and so this book concentrates as much as possible on new approaches and
fresh insights.
Bridging any gaps between these systems is the aim of this work. Again, many
writings are published on the opinions and findings of how and why divination and the
specific tools work - whether purely cognizant, spiritual or both. For the purposes of this
greater exercise, the concern is mainly how to marry the systems - however they might
factually or esoterically work.
Divination, like all things, is reliant on natural elements, requires patience,
understanding, education, ingredients as in baking and tools such as in gardening. Any
given range of factors will influence the ability and proficiency between of any two given
diviners.
Both baking and gardening are sciences in themselves and there are established
codes which govern their successful outcomes. Temperature, dry/wet ratio, chemical
compositions and time would in the divinatory sense account for sun sign, state of mind,
awareness of association, sensitivity and open-mindedness as examples.
A water sun sign (Cancer/Scorpio/Pisces) may find natural powers of intuition and
psychic ability to assist the reading and even wash the information in colors alternative to
the instinctually telepathic traits of the air sun signs (Gemini/Libra/Aquarius) who may
concentrate on the more logical than emotional airwaves of the reading, or the grounded
and sensual insights of an earth sun sign (Taurus/Virgo/Capricorn) who might place
emphasis on the most tangible and secure impressions available. Fire sun signs
(Aries/Leo/Sagittarius) might feel ignited in a much more dramatic, adventurous and
29.
passionate element by the information thereby reading and portraying it with a unique
flare to any other elemental sign.
The range and combinations of elements and sub-elements that can influence
destiny are immeasurable. Examples would be, astrologically, where the ascendant of the
sign is different to the sun sign bearing influence and further varying the variable, or the
particular shades of happiness, sadness or fear at the time of a consultation. What is the
planetary hour and what planetary aspects are currently influencing the available
energies?
Einstein’s Theory of Relativity offers much more on this than can be explored in this
book, but nevertheless, factors uncountable and even beyond our control and awareness
are all brought into play at the time of seeking. The idea of entertaining a system which
might (even if it were merely theoretically) bypass many factors interfering with unity
may become much more appealing.
The World of Archetypes
The most fundamental concern that governs the basis for these oracular systems,
most certainly and notably evident in the Tarot and I Ching systems (by correspondence),
are their capacity for encapsulating the rightly respected Carl Jung’s World of Archetypes,
which is described by late Russian writer Sergey Davydov as being the very heart of our
universe, and the starting point for the inspirations that give birth and rise to the
mythological tales and artworks that the greatest artists and storytellers that history has
produced.
30.
Because these Archetypes are considered so sacred mainly due to their universal
encumbrance of all truth and matter, they have been relied upon throughout the ages for
divination as the belief in the fundamental occurrence exists that once these Archetypes
are both collective and conglomerate, there is no idea, situation, concern or philosophy
that can be ignored or overlooked, because everything within the universe is captured
within their assembled core. Within the full presence of these Archetypes is all knowledge
and truth.
Most of the mantic systems that we know today are either inspired by, or are actual
‘maps’ containing symbolic directions towards the hidden treasures of the subconscious.
31.
CHAPTER THREE
THE CONCEPT OF TIME
Next to the natural processes of human thought, Numerology might very well be
considered the greatest form of divination (if not just as being the main underlying one).
This statement is based not merely on the obvious fact that the main mantic systems are
tirelessly built on a foundation of numbered sequences, but the more elemental fact that
all known things about the universe we live in - at least on a physical level - are time-
based.
If we employ the Big Bang Theory as a universal example (for the ease of not
stepping on the toes of any one religious preference) and accredit that as being the father
of time, the baby biological clock has been ticking away ever since and has been
demanding feeding regularly over the eons.
Methods of being able to tell time arose naturally as life progressed on Earth with
mankind needing to discover ways to keep track of it because of reliance on it for survival.
The seasons were amongst the earliest models of time-keeping pieces as were the notably
altering shadows which gave rise to the Shadow Clocks (1500 B.C.) of ancient Egyptian
and Babylonian Astrology and which were modified in many ways into the sundials of
Ancient Greece. As with most durable and essential inventions, the rest is history.
Progress in time-piece design and manufacture continued through the eras and still
does - all suited to the needs of the day and age, yet ringing all together in one cosmic
tintabulation as a tribute to the fundamental puppeteer of life in our cosmos. We, and all
32.
of what we know physically to be real, are timed and governed by no greater master than
numbers.
For obvious reasons, in order to commune with the divine there must be an order of
time as well, because the element that we are is built of it and we rely on its rules.
Biblically, this is recognized by the teaching that one single day in Heaven is equal to
seven years on Earth. Time is also very specifically allocated to our lives in more detail in
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8.
Perception of time can certainly be listed as one of the sub-elements involved in the
manner as to how a divination is conducted. Without our subconscious connection to
time as a result of always having relied on it, we might never grasp the matrix in which
information from beyond the veil is being relayed to us.
The time we are born determines our sun sign, ascendant sign and planetary
aspects which define so many intimate details between us and other humans born at
different times. And most directly as a result, when our names are numerologically
applied to divinatory calculations, we find that hidden insight, guidance and pre-
destination exists within that information - most often supporting the information given
by the time of our birth. We then spend the rest of our days counting them.
All the aforementioned considered, another very great irony is that timing of events
is famously controversial in the arenas of divination. Many systems suppose ways to ‘get
around that’ by association once more - that is, creating further associative meanings in
the cards over and above more generic ones to determine a time-frame. For example, a
cartomancer may decide that they would like to pull a random card from the deck and
assign that card to represent the question they are about to ask. They may then decide to
33.
shuffle it back into the deck deciding that once the entire deck is dealt that the chosen card
landing between or somewhere close in the vicinity of other specified cards would reveal a
particular time-frame.
Many other ways of doing this are employed in all the systems, because natural
elements (next to numbers) are attributed to the systems’ core teachings and philosophies,
and these elements are all pre-assigned to particular seasons which define the placing of
the foretold event within the year e.g.
Even so, it is still widely considered that reliance upon the accuracy of these timings
is somewhat precarious due to the very fact that, in part, the information being received
‘metaphysically’ is of dimensions that disregard the rigidity of our earthly clock in favor of
the recognition that true wisdom and insight is granted outside of the control and confines
of it.
Pilgrims disappear into mountains and deserts for weeks on end with no available
way to remind themselves of the specific hour. They maintain a state of being which
removes them from the normality of their regular existence in order to open their being
and consciousness to higher truth through meditation. This confirms the existence of
information outside of numbers as much as it consolidates the existence of information
within them.
Whatever the case, there are a great many mystical belief systems and movements
throughout history and today which recognize the power and omniscience of numbers.
The mathematicians of ancient Greece who noted it’s frequent appearance in Geometry
studied the Golden Ratio originally. It purports that “two quantities are in the golden ratio if
their ratio is the same as the ratio of their sum to the larger of the two quantities, i.e. their
34.
maximum”. It is used to measure the proportion of things both natural and/or synthetic
and its accuracy is based on its mysteriously and uncannily simple nature. In the same
way that this ratio works, so do the properties and values of numbers. Famously notable
in the Fibonacci sequences, this numeric reflection offers credible and comprehensive
understanding of the dual nature of the universe and the basis for it’s holographic
tendencies due to the sum being contained within its parts.
The journey of the archetypal Fool in the Tarot majors follows a cycle over 22 cards
including itself at number 0. If we consider number 0 to represent The Big Bang, the story
ensues speaking of time-based creation, activity, growth, trial through youthful error and
wisdom through the ages of endurance all culminating with the Universe fully blown into
it’s magnificent and ripened splendor. This cycle is in itself a representation of the entire
continuity of the universe - constant death, birth, processes of time and sequential phases.
The Tarot is a continuous cycle just as the seasons and lessons of life are. Shuffling the
cards one before the other even mirrors this cycle and the way that random events and
orders are also fundamental in the principles of chance and fate.
The Wheel of Fortune card directly at the center of the Fools journey may be
considered the spiritual axis and timer of the system as its references to cycles and duality
are self-explanatory, and governs the seasons of sowing and reaping in karmic terms.
Coming back to the foundations of Numerology in Tarot, each card of both the
major and minor arcana are assigned very calculatedly to a specific number which
resonates the higher universal vibrations or affinities with those mystical values. All of
this will be explored in detail as we feel our way in each single case further on but it is
necessary to note this now as it is the main similarity between Tarot, Lenormand,
35.
Cartomancy, I-Ching, Runes, Astrology and Kabbalah and which we will ultimately
shuffle together in this search for a much greater deal...
36.
CHAPTER FOUR
THE BASICS OF NUMEROLOGY
Numerology accepts that each number from 0 to 9 holds a universal vibration and
therefore holds a specific meaning and set of attributes that make them possible to
correspond with any and all things related to those attributes for the purposes of
divination specifically.
The two most popular acts of practical numerology are Birth Name Numerology
and Birth Date Numerology, the results of which will lead a person to discover their own
particular Life Path Number which they can then research to glean insight from for life
guidance. Again, there is no real necessity in knowing the history of Numerology here but
we will take a look at how it basically works.
There is no one method that is generally correct or better when calculating in
numerology, unless specific areas of information are being divined. Some methods use
one cycle, some methods use three and in this book we will use several. Some people do
equations based on the system of the Chaldeans (also famous for their corresponding
order of the planets in the solar system and the widely used planetary hour system in
Western Astrology) and some rely on the more traditional process employed by
Pythagoras.
There are, though, two real main consistencies throughout - all numbers are added
only and, once interpreting life path numbers, any master or higher path results being 11,
22 or 33 are left as double digits. They can be added as one single number in an equation
37.
of separate digits employing a simple one cycle formula as they will bring precisely the
same result as they would if they had been split and added separately. Here’s an example:
8 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 4 = 33
If 33 was a number for any reason that was to be added to a further calculation,
whether it was split into two separate digits like any others in the equation or kept as a
double digit, the result of that equation would be exactly the same anyway:
Example a). 8 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 4 + 33 = 66
6 + 6 = 12
1+2=3
Example b). 8 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 4 + 3 + 3 = 39
3 + 9 = 12
1+2=3
If dealing with a master number added to a simple equation, I like to keep it as
double digits for clarity and for ease, yet either way is appropriate for the purposes in this
book, at least. You will find that this consistency changes if you begin to use more
complicated numerological equations needing to split the number into two digits for more
definition of results. But this could only bring in deeper insight into what you are trying
to divine so don’t be afraid to research and experiment with different options - after all
that is what the future is all about!
38.
Birth Date Numerology
In order to work out your birth name number in the simplest way, you should note
the date in full like this:
February, 18, 1971 = 02/18/1971
(mm/dd/yy)
or
18, February, 1971 = 18/02/1971
(dd/mm/yy)
Depending on which country you live in, I thought it best to note the possible
difference, just to be on the safe side, as this will make a difference in a three cycle
equation (which we will look at a little further on).
The resulting number for this equation using the (dd/mm/yy) order is:
1 + 8 + 0 + 2 + 1 + 9 + 7 + 1 = 29 = 11
From this basic equation, we see that the final result is a higher path number, but
this is not necessarily an accurate result. It can be noted that the Pythagorean tradition of
equation is considered much more traditional and is far more advisable to use because of
how we are wanting to join different mantic systems together. This method, also known
as a three cycle method, provides separate numbers which mark separate stages of the
39.
persons life and then are added together to divine an overall life number. The result is
deeper as well as governing information and a much less probability based equation
resulting in fewer master numbers as life path numbers. Here’s how to do the three cycle
equation using the example above:
(1 + 8) + (0 + 2) + (1 + 9 + 7 + 1) = (9) + (2) + (18) = 9 + 2 + 9 = 20 = 2
The three final digits in the equation used to calculate the number which will either
be the result or the subtotal which is added again to obtain the result (20 in this case) are
the three cycle numbers of the persons life and are used to explore all manners of
information - most basically early middle and later life.
In this case, the person’s cycle numbers are 9, 2 and 9 and their life path number is
2. A full and professional Numerology chart report will show all aspects of these
meanings and relationships throughout. If you are interested, you might seek a report to
be done or learn to do it entirely yourself as this can only add to information obtained
through exercises later in this book.
For now though, the most important requirement is met with the three cycles and
life path numbers because once we apply them to any other system of divination, either as
ourselves or as numerology readings for the divination tools themselves, they will act as
past, present, future and destiny meanings within these specific cards/stones/coins etc. in
order to deepen the readings and connections further.
40.
Birth Name Numerology
The same ‘rules’ apply as previously with birth name formulas in that all numbers
are added only and that the only numbers left intact within the equation are the master
numbers 11, 22 or 33. This formula differs slightly in that each first, middle and last parts
the full name are calculated separately and then the three numbers are added to give the
full name number. Let’s try some now by noting a full name:
Frederick Jason Montgomery
We would then need to find the numerical value of each letter. Here is the
Pythagorean system in popular use by Western traditions:
A=1 B=2 C=3 D=4 E=5 F=6 G=7
H=8 I=9 J=1 K=2 L=3 M=4 N=5
O=6 P=7 Q=8 R=9 S=1 T=2 U=3
V=4 W=5 X=6 Y=7 Z=8
F+R+E+D+E+R+I+C+K
6 + 9 + 5 + 4 + 5 + 9 + 9 + 3 + 2 = 52 = 7
J+A+S+O+N
1 + 1 + 1 + 6 + 5 = 14 = 5
41.
M+O+N+T+G+O+M+E+R+Y
4 + 6 + 5 + 2 + 7 + 6 + 4 + 5 + 9 + 7 = 55 = 10 = 1
Frederick = 7
Jason = 5
Montgomery = 1
7 + 5 + 1 = 13 = 4
Frederick Jason Montgomery = 4
All of these numbers can be added to birth numbers for further results or compared
with elements of the mantic systems for connections etc. etc. Whatever the case, they will
provide insights and information not necessarily known previously or available before
through ‘creative calculation’.
Because, as with numbers, letters each have a specific meaning as well, the initials
of someone’s full name can be divined for an instant ‘snapshot’ of someone you meet and
are wanting to know more about them than is readily available. This is often done by
equipping the personal knowledge stores with deep understanding of astrology and its
aspects, but for a more humble and overall picture, a combination of meanings assigned to
the initials can be used to form a string or sentence which could provide a lot of insight.
There are a great number of resources, both on the Internet and in bookstores,
which will provide multitudes of meanings for these letters and numbers. You can devise
extensive lists of your own or make up your own association based on impressions other
42.
connected divination tools have given you, which is even better! There are also some
expanded lists in the appendices.
Let’s take the previous name example and apply it this way after looking at the full
list of letter-to-numerological meanings. In this case only one general positive and one
general negative meaning per letter is provided to satisfy the example but also as a quick
preliminary reference for you to try on any name you wish right now:
A - Alert / Arrogant N = Discerning / Jealous
B - Benevolent / Boastful O = Patient/ Overemotional
C - Chivalrous / Crafty P = Commanding / Self-absorbed
D - Orderly / Stubborn Q = Mysterious / Boring
E - Charming / Unreliable R = Tolerant / Short-tempered
F - Compassionate / Melancholic S = Attractive / Impulsive
G = Intuitive / Disregarding T = Strong / Fickle
H = Successful / Selfish U = Emancipated / Greedy
I = Humane / Angry V = Efficient / Unpredictable
J = Honest / Lazy W = Mysterious / Risk-loving
K = Insightful / Dissatisfied X = Sexual / Unfaithful
L = Charitable / Distracted Y = Adventurous / Un-restrainable
M = Self-confident / Hasty Z = Peacemaking / Impatient
Frederick + Jason + Montgomery
F + J + M = (+) Compassionate + Honest + Self-Confident
(-) Melancholic + Lazy + Hasty
43.
Immediately we can see similarities and/or links between the positive traits and the
negative traits from separate letters. These words can then be formed into sentences and
then into a short synopsis. Upon this, one can meditate and/or use intuition to glean
some deeper insights by pondering relationships between the traits and write a more
detailed analysis of the person’s character.
Please note: Unless you are adept/skilled in this area it may not be advisable for you to
divulge what you think of a complete stranger this way unless expressly asked by them. This is
primarily suggested for your own personal and private understanding of what you may and may
not be facing through contact with an unknown character.
The Tree Construction Exercise
The Barnum Effect could still be found as a way to label this sort of practice, and
this is why the removal of as many assumptions as possible should be maintained. Any
existing assumptions should be logically rooted in reason. This exercise will also assist
you in building your divinatory vocabulary, your receptivity to intuitive assistance and
your communicative abilities in relaying information.
Following is a basic divinatory character analysis example based on the individual
Frederick Jason Miller’s name initials:
Construction 1: He is a compassionate person who is honest and who exudes self -
confidence, yet he is prone to melancholy, laziness and tends to be hasty in his
decisions and actions.
44.
That is a concise summary of the equation results that have been formed into an
easy and preliminary statement. Now we can consider why the above statement would be
the case. If we consider the sentence to be the trunk of a tree, we could begin to allow
some branches to grow out from it, connecting more diversity and detail to the main
stream of the core information:
Construction 2:
His sense of self-confidence shows evidence that he is both liked as a person as well as his
capabilities to draw success to himself. His compassion is another reason that he is popular, because
he can champion the underdog and yet still be a peacemaker and negotiator, being honest about the
capabilities and limitations of all involved. His laziness could be due to his capabilities - he is
naturally gifted and therefore has not had to work as hard as others may have to hone his skills, and
as a result, he can become depressed and saddened by a sense of un-fulfillment that can lead to
hasty decisions due to frustration and boredom.
Now that there is a lot more information to work with, we can start to colour the
picture in with more dimension - adding leaves and deeper, stronger roots. Do not be
afraid to let your imagination take over as this is often a passage intersecting the
subconscious planes with the conscious mind - especially when it is not being too
consciously ‘trafficked’. Ponder it, if you will, as a thinking form of Automatic Writing.
Scour the information you have just divined and then, without thinking too much, just
begin to make connections and associations about what the past, present and future of the
person could hold as a result of your insights. Begin speaking or writing fluently without
doubt or hesitation to achieve a similar result to this:
45.
Construction 3:
It is possible that his self-confidence has its roots at a very early age. Perhaps he stems from a
naturally talented family where there has always been a sense of support and encouragement. This
is turn has given him the natural ease of being around people and understanding their various
qualms as a result, reminding him often that not everyone has had it as easy as him. He’s probably
been told often by others how they would love to be able to do what he does, look the way he does
etc. and this has not gone to his head because even though he is confident, his compassion brings an
underlying sense of guilt, giving him a complex which balances off the extremes. People realize
that he is honest and so, because of his charms he can say it like it is and get away with it, though
his compassion never allows him to hurt anyone with bluntness. He is lethargic, possibly as a
result of programming from an early age as well. It is likely that he was doted on by one or both
parents who did everything for him, adding to this complex when he encounters struggling in the
world. The likelihood of his early luxuries suggests that he comes from some money perhaps and
this both reiterates his complex as well as confirms both his laziness and melancholy. It is likely
that, as is the case with not having to hone his talents as a result of a natural bounty of them, his
depressions and boredom stem from too little challenge - both in needing to acquire things as well as
never having met too many people who he feels can intimidate his sense of self-worth and so he has
resigned himself to living a content and yet fairly mundane life.
Don’t be afraid of sounding too judgmental, especially if you are keeping this
information for yourself. Many mediums maintain that in order for communication lines
with the divine to be open and clear that there must be freedom from all complaint, self-
righteousness and judgment in favor of feeling only love and compassion. Whilst this is
likely true in order for encouraging the presence of spiritual entities and for them to be
46.
made welcome, it does not necessarily apply in this instance. Life is really about needing
to make certain superficial judgments as humans, ranging from how far away something
is, to whether someone can be trusted or not. Opinions are not yet fact and allowing any
sense of guilt to impede your creativity can only hinder your free-reigning imagination
and therefore possibly the channels of clear connection also. In fact, if anything you will
most likely find yourself realizing solutions to mysteries and challenges that have evaded
you for the want of all your mental force in concentration and inspection. Sometimes the
most effect form of analysis is to let go and allow all the information to enter. How you
dissect it all from there is no challenge in comparison, because you are now already aware
of things previously ungraspable.
From here on, all manners of equations, combinations, associations and
meditations can add to the thoughts, all just using the meanings of letters based on the
Pythagorean system of letter: digit assignments. Obtaining the person’s sun sign will also
be revealingly beneficial towards a comprehensive overall analysis, and in comparison
with an astrological natal chart, further insights about what could potentially lie ahead for
the person can be made based on a comparison between universal planetary aspects and
your own revelations. The results can be both uncanny and astonishing. I am fully
prepared to make the claim that a great deal of my life has seen me personally
experiencing much accuracy in my appraisals of people and situations in this very manner
- even if sometimes silent and introspectively.
The basis of all of these insights could be used for choosing significators in card
readings (if you use them), and the results of those readings can then be applied back,
based on the card numbers and sequences in the spread added to or compared with the
person’s name.
47.
It is a suggestion that, if you are doing a reading for someone else, that you note all
of the numerical information of the applicable oracular system/s and relate them to the
information gathered numerologically from the querent’s name and make notes of
parallels, similarities, patterns etc. which can be further explored for information not
readily available before. In this way, each person is more open to direct interaction with
divinatory systems beyond asking questions and shuffling/casting cards/runes. Pre-
determined information stored within even the numerical interaction between systems
immediately opens all of them up as ‘collaborators’ with each other.
People often attest to the dangers of reading too deeply into things, and I am
notorious for attesting to the fact that there is actually never an ending to the information
that can be found! In my belief, there is no end to any matter so long as perpetual
beginnings exist.
There will be further discussion on the details of each oracular system and how
they can be primed for connectivity in this system, as well as plentiful practical exercises
for examples and experience further on in this study.

CHAPTER FIVE
EXPLORING THE ORACULAR SYSTEMS
Origins of cartomancy have no real value in this exploration, and neither does a
discussion about the earliest studies of the I-Ching, Astrology or the Quabalistic doctrines.
We know that there are obvious relationships between the Playing Card and the
Tarot decks, and we see a sometimes vague and sometimes vivid connection between the
two within the Lenormand system. The Golden Dawn gave rise to the Hermetic Tarot
system which incorporated a much less naive conglomeration of traditional meanings and
connections than any predecessors through alchemical symbolism and was later amplified
by Crowley’s attributes in the Thoth deck to the planetary system, the Astrological houses
of the Zodiac system and the pathways or Sephiroht of The Tree of Life. More
contemporary mantic pioneers began to compare and assign tarot and I-Ching to and with
each other and also went on further to delegate the Rune stones across the Tarot.
Of course, much of the forthcoming discussions will be based on the precise
relationships of these aspects both within particular systems and comparably with other
systems in order to determine why the attempts to combine these systems is even
plausible, let alone beneficial or necessary. You may already have discovered lists of
resources into the higher learning of these aspects in the ‘Recommended Reading’ section,
but if not - now you know where to find some!
The Tarot and I Ching systems were devised in different parts of the world and
during different ages yet - as has been ascertained by correspondences - all of the core
49.
principles of philosophy, spirituality and numerology are present within both, as are
particular patterns and sequences.
Lenormand, possibly the most famous cartomancer in history, used a system that
combined archetypal images and objects of association with pips from the playing-card
deck that have similar meanings in some cases with both Lenormand and Tarot decks and
in others, completely disassociated with them. The golden ratio in general is that there
also appear to be a number of greater cards within a system of lesser linking cards yet all
remain as significant as each other because of the absolute reliance on combination in
those spreads. Perhaps the Key card in Lenormand’s deck in addition with these
combinations offers a larger assurance of some sort of ‘poetic justice’ in that the cards
unlock destiny by recognizing that both great and small are equal. This may be further
explored by the ‘insets’ of the pips, which appear to be smaller portraits on the gallery
wall of each card. The story within the story may be read between the lines for deeper
meaning and insight and because of the inclusion of the numerical aspects of playing-
cards - not just the numbered sequence of the main aspects of the greater card -
numerology is set to work once more to divine a numerical sequence within a numerical
sequence which unites two different systems into one whole beyond more generic
interpretation. It could be argued that the reason for this was far more practical and that
because Tarot began primarily as a card game, the deck was suitable for both fortune
telling and Snap! Whilst fairly likely so, there are missing gaps in those correspondences
as we will discover later on.
In the Tarot system, this is not ignored, yet there is a much more defined moat
between the archetypal castle of the majors and the minor kingdom that surrounds it.
Where a full reading can be very happily and effectively conducted with only the Trumps
50.
of the Tarot because they encapsulate what can be described as a ‘snapshot of the
macrocosm’ and are less fixed in nature than the minors, The Lenormand cards are more
akin to a lucky dip where both fixed and mutable elements are intertwined and bear a
direct result on the rigidity and mutability of their neighboring clarifications.
51.
CHAPTER SIX
NUMERICALLY-BASED ORACULAR SYSTEMS
Introduction
I would like to begin this chapter in discussion before moving on to categorizing
and breaking the oracular systems down with examples which lean on various authorities
within the/cartomancy/divination arenas. Most notable are the works of Haindl and
Crowley. The Haindl Tarot deck generously places assignments between the I Ching,
Runes and Tarot in addition to the Quabalistic, Numerological and Astrological systems,
whilst Crowley provides the Golden Dawn attributes of astrological decans and their
degrees in relation to The Tree of Life and the suite elements and there combinations. The
work of Davydov also provides a very accurate and interesting system of correspondences
between Tarot and I Ching, which thoroughly couples sets of Minor cards, and
Hexagrams with the Archetypal Majors of the Tarot trumps.
The intention here is to use the Life Path or Destiny number equations as are used
when a person’s birth name is calculated numerologically in order to to derive the result,
and thereby assuming that each segment/card etc. of each divinatory system has one in
the same way. Every single number is separated to form the chain of a numerical
sequences to be added for a single final digit. The only exception here again being the
master numbers 11, 22 & 33.
52.
It should be noted that the number of the corresponding I-Ching Hexagram, Rune
and any associated Tarot cards with double digits have been separately added up prior to
the main numerology equation and, where double digits apply, have been added by the
same system into a single digit for the main equation. For example, all the numbers
relating to the Lenormand Rider card (as shown in the following section) are 1 (Rider), 3 (
12th Rune Jera - 1 + 2 = 3 therefore The Empress and all no.3 pips) 6 ( 42‘nd I-Ching
Hexagram - 4 + 2 = 6 therefore The Lovers and all no. 6 pips), 9 (Nine of Hearts; Nine of
Cups therefore The Hermit, The Moon - 1 + 8 = 9, and all no.9 pips), 10 (The Wheel of
Fortune; The Magician - 1 + 0 = 1 and all the no.10 pips). By this manner of addition, the
number 1 (in divinatory terms) is exemplified specifically by all the associated numbers in
relationship with it, which form it’s heartbeat, mind and spirit:
1 + 3 + 6 + 9 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 8 = 29 = 2 + 9 = 11
I find this really fascinating, that the first card of the Lenormand system
numerically relates (by halving) to the first Higher Path Number 11 which indicates
intuition in Numerology and Justice (or Balance) in Tarot, is a double digit of itself and, if
added, becomes the number 2 governing the Tarot’s High Priestess of intuition and secrets
and which directly alludes to Lenormand’s card 2 The Clover’s promises of luck, chance
and opportunity - most decidedly all direct results of The Rider’s arrival and which
capture the essence of The Wheel of Fortune destined to be present in the equation that
results in a higher path number. The universal attributes of number 2 are balance,
reflection, formation, duality, choice and direction, and we can see that relationship
53.
echoed in The Rider card and throughout the other systems as well. Hexagram 42 of the I-
Ching is called ‘Increase’ which also relates to the Harvest spoken of in the relating Rune
no. 12, Jera. 1 + 2 = 3 which governs The Empress Tarot card and her attributes of
abundance, creation, production and newness. The number 3 itself speaks more highly of
growth, increase, expansion and fertility. The equation of the number 42 that
numerologically adds to 6 governs The Lovers card of the Tarot majors as well which
incorporates the planet Mercury which rules Gemini - the astrological governance of The
Lovers card. Mercury is the planet of communication (Rider), expansion of the mind (I-
Ching Hex. 42) and logical combinations (number 2). Expansion, borne of number 3, are
key attributes of The wheel of Fortune Tarot card, number 10, which is actually number 1
after numerological equations. Number 1 of the Tarot is The Magician, also ruled by
Mercury which emanates qualities of The Rider card and brings it’s idea of newness back
to The Empress which is assigned to number 3.
Whilst looking at the first card/stone/coin etc. of any given divination system for
example - all of these considerations and associations could be used by the diviner as
ingredients, if you will, added to the recipe of deriving the successful manifestation of
desire promised in the Nine of Hearts and the Nine of Cups, the Harvest of the Runes and
the Increase of the I-Ching, the generosity of the 6 of pentacles and so on, eventually
turning any given system into a universal one.
Now let’s begin to break down each applicable system in order to digest them
better, in numerological and general divinatory terms. In each instance, a list of significant
overall pointers will precede a dissection of pertinent details. This includes a
numerological equation - the result of which governs the entire system.
54.
Because there will be lists of card number associations, divinatory meanings and
oracle element lists, the access to any of these actual tools in not necessary in order for any
of the exercises in this book to be completed, but it is not suggested that the actual cards,
stones, coins etc be excluded from your divinations as there are real-time elements that
make these tools so universally effective. Image and color can work wonders on the
psyche and inspire the subconscious to communicate in powerful ways.
Please do not feel that the breakdowns of these systems are conclusive in evidence
in any way as there is as much to learn about each of these tools as there is about personal
impression. Discussions here relate mostly to the aspects of these systems which are
beneficial to this book and a new system system explored further on in this work, as well
as numerological findings associated directly with the needs of this investigation.

TAROT
• The cards are shuffled whilst meditating on a specific question until the intuition or
feeling that adequate mixing of the cards has occurred. The deck is then cut into three
piles to the left and reassembled in the same direction. The cards are then laid out in a
chosen style of spread.
• A deck of 78 cards - 22 Major Arcana or Trumps and 56 Minor Arcana.
• The Major cards deal with universal archetypes and relate to all metaphysical elements
and philosophical enlightenment, wisdom and growth through connection and
communion with the higher planes. They are assigned to the element of Spirit.
Keywords: WITHIN; INNER; HIGHER; I CAN; I SEE; ANDROGYNY
Chakras: Crown/Flowering Lotus; Third Eye
• The Minor cards are a reflection of daily issues - life experienced as a physical being on
Earth and all it’s joys and challenges. Decisions, emotions, thoughts and survival. They
are more uniformly assigned to the four tangible elements.
Keywords: WITHOUT; OUTER; LOWER; NATURAL & SYNTHETIC; I HAVE
Chakras: Base
• 16 of the Minors are called Court Cards and each elemental suit is assigned 4 of these to
signify various stages of life and development. They are people around us as well as
facets of ourselves and also represent analogies of how we respond, react, accept or
reject what we encounter physically.

Tarot Numerology
It is wisest with Numerology, I feel, not to tamper too much with intrinsic nature.
If we are approaching something that we claim the entire universe is encoded with then
one slight miscalculation could send all of existence torrenting down a vortex of oblivion!
Just the same as a misplaced amount of ingredients would upset bakery for the science
that it truly is, then so would failing to recognize that numerology works on a system of
itself i.e. it sees numbers in everything and takes those numbers into account in everything
it encounters. Not excluding the concept of accidents, Einstein’s Theory of Relativity
accounts for those and offers the explanations as to why they may also be pre-determined
as offsetting factors for balance by being counterparts to planning.
Numbers such as higher path numbers remain intact in these equations when they
are pre-determined (no main divisible groups) or represent higher order, such as the 22
cards of the Major Arcana. The 16 court cards however are separately added in the
equation as, whilst they are considered generally to be a part of the Minor Arcana, they
are specifically different for many reasons within that group. For the purpose of these
investigations, a certainly separate group is just the same as a separate number.
Majors: 22; Minors: 40; Court: 16
22 + 4 + 0 + 1+6 = 33 = 3 + 3 = 6
It can be noted that a direct addition of 7 + 8 ( 78 being the total number of cards in
the deck) would numerologically bring the same result of 6, but would omit other
important information. The direct result of the tarot sections formula is the highest path
number of all, number 33. Encased within this number is the resulting structural number
57.
of the tarot, number 6. It is noted that 22 is not broken down primarily as it is a higher
path number and providentially would add up to exactly the same result in this equation.
The Lovers card is a reflection of 6 which speaks of duality, yin and yang and choice - all
traits with two sides. Broadly speaking, it incorporates a precise cross section of the
system in every area which is:
Two Arcana
Higher and lower; spiritual and mundane; inner and outer
Two Court Genders
Male and female,
Yin & Yang
Universal principle, everything is opposite yet everything is the same.
Life path number 6 associates with responsibility and awareness - the two most
important aspects of reading the cards. As with each card, there are positives and
negatives and these do not deviate from particular connection with the tarot in the case of
number 6 either:
Positives
Teaching; guidance; balance
Negatives
Disconnection; unawareness; interference
58.
The Tarot is indeed a tool for teaching, guidance and - balance being the root of
fulfillment and enlightenment - is arguably the unspoken and underlying impulse for each
consultation, whatever the question. When the cards do not seem to ‘play ball’ or when
we are not in the right frame of mind but consult any way, we often experience
disconnection with the messages, unawareness of what we are failing to pick up and there
is interference in our connection with the subconscious/divine. Often in these times our
conscious thought clutters the space and begins to make up answers that it would prefer
to know.
Number 6 also means Justice - the highest of cosmic orders being the law of Karma.
What you give you get. The process of shuffling the cards and handing them to a reader
to deal out the result seems almost humorously uncanny as a process using the tool in that
light. Not to mention that Karma is essentially what the Tarot system is about. Number
11, Justice of the trumps, is the first of the higher path numbers in numerology and
happens also to be a precise division of 22. It would seem that there are truly two sides to
every story, and this is more than factually solidified with the I Ching as well.
The number 6 also relates the Solar center of our galaxy, the Sun. The planetary
table of this planet is constructed with 6 rows and 6 columns. In tarot terms, The Sun
relates to illumination of the truth and the divulgence of secrets.
The three letters of the tarot, relating to 6 by the Pythagorean system, are F, O and X
which spell one of the Lenormand cards, the Fox. A coincidence this may be yet
fortunately as we are still safely within the separated meanings between two system
structures, the Lenormand meaning is happily bypassed here without disregarding the
nature of the creature as being discerning and skillful in it’s light state and revealing
59.
cunningness and trickery in its dark state. This most certainly can be said of any
divinatory system that employs reversed meanings and/or considers the duality of the
Universe. In the same sense, misuse of the tool can manifest deceit as can beneficial use
provide guidance. The Fox is also a creature of stealth and this more than obviously
alludes to hidden meaning - the vistas of the subconscious beyond the veil of The High
Priestess.
On a more technically esoteric level, the combination sentence for these letters is:
F+O+X
(+) Compassionate, Patient, Reproductive
(-) Melancholic, Over-emotional, Unfaithful
All of these traits (both positive and negative) are more than direct illustrations of
number 6, The Lovers card, which governs this system and by reference to the card’s
relationship dualities
The other Major card of the tarot, which adds up to the number 6, is The Devil (15).
This often shows an image of The Lovers chained to their basal desires and their worldly
ignorance - a paradox stemming from partaking of fruit from The Tree of Knowledge.
This is a fitting shadow side of it’s light reflection which often shows an angel which is
blessing the alchemy common to all the universe between the ‘upright’ lovers.
If we take the first letter in the Pythagorean charts attributed to 1 and 5
successively, we get A and E - the first two letters of the names Adam and Eve upon
which The Lovers traditionally are based.

Lenormand Deck
• Considered to be less esoteric than considered as being a tool for entertainment-style
fortune telling and card game use, the deck is used widely in divination by being
shuffled (often with no particular thoughts in mind) and then laid out typically in sets of
3 x 3. These sets are then joined together and read as a whole ‘big picture’ or story etc.
• A deck of 36 cards that can be read as the Lenormand card proper and/or the Playing
Card pip associations.
• 20 have pip attributes and 16 of these cards have no pip attributes.
• 5 human cards (including Rider and Heart); 9 animal cards (including Rider); 12
nature/plant cards (including Heart); 12 objects cards.
• 8 standalone negative cards; 7 standalone positive cards; 21 neutral or majorly
influenced cards.
• Card meanings are singularly universal yet they are enhanced and rely on their position
in a spread and in specific ‘chain’ relation to each other. Like the rows, columns and
diagonals of a planetary square, so are these cards read in succession.
Lenormand Numerology
Numerologically speaking, it’s interesting to note the obvious disassociation of
Lenormand cards with pips 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the four playing-card suits. Could this be
determined as a pre-meditated choice by equation? Of course, the 16 card difference
between the 52 playing-card deck and the 36 Lenormand deck accounts for this gap
superficially, but why specifically these four numbers in each case? Once again,
63.
associating the traditional Lenormand card meanings with the pip counterparts by
numerological definitions will confirm the comfortable placement of each association as it
is. But what is the harm in delving deeper to determine whether there may be some sort
of encoded secret in this gap beyond the more obvious factors?
For example, Let’s look at Lenormand’s 2. Clover card. If we take the number two
and define it esoterically as having the power of generally meaning “balance”, “duality”
and “choice”, and we take the most generic meanings of the Clover card which are
universally accepted as meaning “luck”, “success” and “chance”, we could easily ‘boil’ the
definitions down in each case to reach a final determining pointer. For example:
Balance + Duality + Choice = Perfect Coupling/Union
and
Luck + Success + Chance = Gambling or Fate.
If we then look at the number six which is the associated Clover playing-card pip
from the diamond suite, we can see that the traditional cartomancy definitions range from
“problems in a second marriage” to “credits and loans” to “shyness impeding growth”.
Exploring a few standard numerology meanings of the number 6 e.g.:
Harmony + Equilibrium + Peace = Balance
Here it can be noted that the overall definition of 6 can be derived to be the same (or
similar) to a determining factor of number 2’s definition, and hence we have a link
64.
between the number 2 and the number 6 beyond even numbers. Though, if the reader
desires to fully explore the deeper and philosophical natures of such a link, it may be
considered that ‘chance’, ‘fate’ and ‘gambling’ are also somewhat reliant on duality which is
the root of balance, as an example there.
We go back now to the disassociated 2, 3, 4 and 5 positions between Lenormand
and playing-card assignments. Leaning on the numerology basis for cartomancy
definition, let’s do a typical numerology equation to see what we can find (if anything)
within these numbers:
2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 14
1+4=5
5 = Struggle + Disruption + Challenges
Immediately, it is interesting that the keyword ‘disruption’ presents an actual
activity in form of the broken chain of card assignments. The numerological sum of the
avoided associations is the highest one of those numbers, being 5. Certainly in Tarot, one
might not be that elated (depending entirely on the question) to see any five pip from any
minor arcana suite. Traditionally 5 of wands at worst portrays unwelcome squabbles and
competition, 5 of cups indicates emotional disappointment and loss, whilst 5 of swords
speaks of victory through dishonor and defeat and 5 of pentacles warns of poverty and
dejection. Yet, the number 2, 3, 4 and 5 cards in the Lenormand deck being Clover, Ship,
House and Tree at best all speak of positive issues ranging from luck to protection to
beneficial movement and expansions to healthiness and good karma. It is interesting also
to note that the number 5 of the Tarot’s major arcana being the Hierophant is also a card of
65.
undefined duality which takes it’s ‘light’ from neighboring cards, but significantly
enough, it alludes (in it’s entirety) to encapsulating many of the main themes in the
Lenormand cards. For example:
Hierophant = Tradition + Orthodoxy + Stability
Unless hostile to neighboring cards, these qualities do not in themselves speak of
relationships with the Tarot minor 5’s. Interestingly, as the tarot is famous for indicating
problems and offering guidance by the same interpretations, the head card might speak of
solutions, show reflections or contain hints of how to avoid the issues explored in the
minor cards. For example:
Struggles arise as a result of tradition because of a desire to rebel.
or
Tradition stabilizes causing common ground in struggles.
-----
Disruption manifests because of rigidity and orthodoxy through desires to be free from
control.
or
Orthodoxy provides boundaries which protect from the dangers of disruption.
----
Challenges are provided by stability in both the senses of needing to acquire security or
the need to shed some of it.
66.
In Numerology, the life path of number 5 indicates the need for freedom, change,
adventure and non-conventional experiences. Superficially, at least, this is hardly a
relationship between the Hierophant and the minor fives! Yet the head card does give
warning of what can happen when these desires are not brought into balance and
moderation, and deters extremism of all the indulgences.
But where does this ‘mirroring’ fit in with possible reasons that number 5
assignments were avoided in the Lenormand pips? Well, it really doesn’t. But in the
process of trying to determine this, an analysis and contemplation has taken place which
encourages potentially ‘hidden’ or not previously considered definitions and reflections to
arise.
Perhaps 2-5 was avoided because of differing amounts of cards between the decks.
Perhaps there is a mysterious numerological reason for 2-5 adding up to 5 or perhaps the
lessons learned by the fives of the tarot are equally distributed between card combination
possibilities in the Lenormand system. Any amount of analyzing and conjecture could
lead to a dead-end or dig up untold amounts of previously unconsidered pieces of
information, but the main idea is that through the process of asking these questions, of
noticing synchronicities and becoming acutely aware of discrepancies and relationships,
no card need be left unturned.
Let’s break the Lenormand deck up into clearly definable parts for equation. This
relates specifically to those with pip attributes and those without.
Pip Attributes: 20; No Pip Attributes: 16
(2 + 0) + (1 + 6) = (2) + (7) = 9
67.
The universal number for the Lenormand Deck is 9, which is assigned to The
Bouquet card. Amongst the main interpretations of this card are themes that suggest
‘portfolios’ and ‘array of abilities or applications’. This does very much allude to the nature of
this particular deck for obvious reasons. The deck is used both for fortune-telling as well
as for parlor games, and features an array of cards which have double and triple meanings
and a further dimension of information by way of they links to the playing-card deck. The
Hermit which governs this deck in Tarot terms speaks of searching for answers and
lighting the path, which is obvious in the case of any oracle and could be classed as
Barnum Effect indeed, yet the appearance of the Path card directly after The Mountain
card in the deck’s numerical sequence which directly alludes to pilgrimages can confirm
the ‘spirit’ present within the chain of events.
I really enjoy the fact that the four categories into which the Lenormand cards are
separated, being human, animal, nature and objects, and which are governed by the
amount of cards within each i.e 4, 9, 11 and 13, are more than suggestively encapsulated
by the Tarot Majors that associate with these numbers. The Emperor is often interpreted
as a father figure and ruler of man and The Hermit is the Western equivalent to the
Shaman who quests for enlightenment and communes with the animal guides. Could the
Justice card be a more appropriate governance for nature and the balance upon which our
ecology relies? For me, I cannot help but see a pattern in all of this, especially
consolidated by the Death card which governs the Lenormand Object cards - lifeless and
stationary elements which transform in meaning by association with other cards -
perhaps the most of all - because of the effect their immutability ultimately has on living
and ever-changing elements.
68.
Perhaps, more than anything, attention should be drawn to the link between the
numerological findings and The Tree of Life Path walked upon through this system by
way of The Hermit correspondences. Considering the Hebrew word ‘Shin’ which is the
name of this path which stands for ‘tooth’, I personally take pleasure from the fact that
this deck so often mistakenly assumed for tricks, fun and games is indirectly described by
Kabbalah association as an object of power which "destroys the error that holds us in bondage
to false knowledge."

Playing Card Deck
• A deck of 52 cards divided into four suites, i.e. Heart, Diamonds, Clubs and Spades.
• Used initially for parlor games and gambling, but also used for divination classed as
‘Cartomancy’
• 40 number cards; 12 face cards, 2 Joker cards
• There is no direct rule as to how these cards are read and often it is encouraged or
assumed that the reader’s own personal style should be employed. What is known as
the ‘flow of the cards’ suggests that they are read very similarly to the Lenormand
system of card reading for best effect.
• The cards relate obviously to the numbers and suits of the Tarot, thought definitions
vary between the two decks.
Playing Card Numerology
With Jokers: 54
40 + 12 + 2 = 54 = 9
Without Jokers: 52
40 + 12 = 52 = 7
In order to retain the full body of the numerological attributes, both equations have
been considered. The reason for this is that some systems of Cartomancy employ the Joker
cards as representing Yin and Yang, The Fool of the Tarot in his positive and negative
light, the beginning and the end as in The Fool and The World/Universe and sometimes
70.
as a significator. It is important also for the numerology equation to consider that they are
part of the deck as it stands today, certainly. Because there is such a large school of
Cartomancers who do not employ the use of these two cards, the deck is also considered
numerologically without them.
As the number 9 attributes it is interesting that the deck evaluates at the same
vibration as the Lenormand deck, which has incorporated it. There are also only two
letters available for the number 9 in the Pythagorean system and is the only odd number
out of all the others which have three letters to them. As number 9 the deck has two
Jokers, which are sometimes called ‘odd cards’.
As the number 7, which is the more traditional association with the deck by way of
card divinatory meanings more universally not including the Joker cards. The number 7
attributes a very high level of psychic awareness and also is known to represent protection
and guarding. The Chariot of the Tarot, which governs this aspect of the deck, speaks of
controlling the will and steering energy for advancement. Certainly in it’s natural state,
the playing card deck is a map of strategy, and especially in games of gambling which
involve the need for hunches and secretive hands, this card speaks also of the need to curb
the impulses and basically ‘know when to walk away’ or ‘throw in your hand’.
As The Chariot governs the sign of Cancer it is also especially interesting to note
that Sun Signs need for financial security. Not, of course, that we don’t all need and desire
that to some degree, yet the characteristic of needing more vast stores of cash and solid
material securities in order to feel ‘safe’ and ‘protected’ is curiously noted as a connection
between that sign and the common use of this deck in games of chance and strategy aimed
at the acquiring of more wealth.
71.
As the traditional number 7 attributes, the Pythagorean lettering associated with the
playing-card deck are:
G+P+Y
(+) Intuitive, Commanding, Adventurous
(-) Disregarding, Self-Absorbed, Unrestrained
Specifically with regards to The Chariot, there is the appearance of both the positive
a negative traits of that card, but there is also more than a glimmer of reflection of The
Hermit’s light and dark nuances by way of the number 9.
Combined, both of these numbers encapsulate the deck’s more commercial ‘aura’ in
their allusions to the vast contrasts in energies not only between the uses for games of
chance and fun and their negative counts of competition, greed and secrecy, but also
between the red and the black shades of the deck. Intuition, command and adventure are
commonly attributed to the element of fire, which is portrayed as the color red in Tattva
terms. The intuition, which is more commonly attributed to water, is associated with The
Moon as well as Cancer, but the light of the moon which can show illusions and which is
made of the reflective light within fire. Ambition, corporate command and risk-taking are
all traits of business to which the Diamonds naturally compare, and in games of romantic

hand and chances. In Cartomancy there is much allusion in the black suits to deception
and sternness, but this can also be said of the ‘two-faced’ court cards which stand the right
way up whichever way they are turned. Perhaps the two Jokers in the deck are subtle
reminders of the paradoxical duality within these cards and that the trick of reading them
is to not view them either way, yet in both ways. In the same manner, the deck’s two main
purposes are to conquer and to divulge - the latter being the pre-cursor to the former.

I CHING
• Coins are tossed or yarrow stalks are placed to form Hexagrams from the Trigrams
• An ancient mantic system that is used for both divination and reflection upon the
wisdom of the universe.
• Consists of to main parts which are:
- Upper Cannon (Hexagrams 1-30) - Outer Aspects
- Lower Cannon (Hexagrams 31-64) - Inner Aspects
• The Hexagrams of the I Ching are grouped into pairs - a Hexagram with an odd number
followed by a Hexagram with an even number. A Hexagram from each pair is found by
the 180° rotation of each other with the exception of invariant Hexagrams which have
Hexagrams constructed from the inversion of their lines.
• Solid lines of the Trigrams represent yang - the creative principle. The interrupted lines
of the Trigrams represent yin - the receptive principle.

I Ching Numerology
Because of the considerable complexity of the I Ching structure, and the variables
which are principle in the stories told within it’s Hexagrams, the Life Path Number
equation for the structure of this system is more intricate and takes more divisions into
account over and above the most obvious which are the Upper and Lower Cannons. For
example, The Lenormand deck was definable even beyond it’s most obvious categories of
playing card pip attributes and no playing card pip attributes by the different types of
cards within it’s own system i.e. animal, object, human etc. Those card divisions were not
included in the equation as they are so reliant on each other for their truest meanings -
even more so than the Tarot which is founded heavily on archetypal imageries which can
be (yet not ultimately) potent on their own. Even in the case of Tarot, the most definable
divisions did not even consider the suite elements because of the arcana grouping which
presides over the mutability and immutability of the groups.
The I Ching is truly an oracle of changes. It flows like the water and reflects in it the
earth and the sky. The integration of all of it’s parts are so dissected that each line of each
Hexagram is accounted for by principle and position. For this reason, it has been
considered that all the dimensions available within it’s progressions are added to the
equation. These dimensions are:
Upper Cannon: 1 and it’s Hexagrams: 30; Lower Cannon: 1 and it’s Hexagrams: 34; The
Principles of Yin and Yang: 2; The eight: 8 Upper Trigrams: 3, The eight: 8 Lower
Trigrams: 3; Pairs of Odd and Even: 2
(1) + (3 + 0) + (1) + (3 + 4) + (2) + (8) + (3) + (8) + (3) + (2) = (1) + (3) + (1) + (7) + (2)
+ (8) + (3) + (8) + (3) + (2) = 37 = 10 = 1
75.
By this equation, the Life Path Number of the I Ching is number 1.
Numerologically, this life path relates to innovation and creativity, which are indeed
fundamental echoes of the yin and yang principles, as well as the inner (innovation) and
outer (creativity) worlds. For a mantic system that is often considered to be the oldest
oracle in the world, the relation of the number 1 life path to those who are natural leaders
is more than uncanny.
Interestingly, the appearance of rotation and reflection within the Hexagrams of
this system does particularly warrant a fully balanced view of the number 1 life path,
including it’s more negative aspects (where the Tarot may or may not have specific rules
about reversals) with one in particular which speaks of an over concern with appearance.
Whilst this may not appear to have anything to do with the oracle superficially (or even
negatively), it is interesting to consider the intricate design upon which the flow of
meaning is directed. The pattern of creative and receptive lines stacked upon each other
create visual images (Hexagrams) which determine quite acutely what the message behind
each has to deliver, and once the facade of those Hexagrams are altered in one minute way
- even with the rest of them remaining untouched - the direction of flow is altered
considerably. Each Hexagram’s maxim is accompanied with text which embellishes the
information contained within each separate line of that Hexagram which can in turn be
linked to the same overall plot of a larger story.
Davydov’s assignment of the Tarot across the I Ching system employs the laying of
the deck across the two Cannons (Upper and Lower) simultaneously, with the aces of the
minor arcana attributed to the first two Hexagrams of the Upper Cannon and the first two
Cannons of the Lower Cannon (Hexagrams 1-2 and 31-32). The minor arcana Two’s are
76.
then assigned to Hexagrams 3-4 and 33-34 and so on and so forth. Upon comparison of
the maxims and their more detailed ‘skeletal’ fragments, the images of the Tarot have been
found to correspond in most instances with the correlation in this system. This table

It is also very interesting, numerologically speaking, when we take this system and
isolate the Hexagram groups falling under each individual Tarot trump. In the I Ching
sector of The Magician, the Hexagram sequence follows as 1, 2, 31 and 32:
(1) + (2) + (3 + 1) + (3 + 2) = (1) + (2) + (4) + (5) = 12 = 3
By this equation we can see that the Magician’s Hexagram correspondences also
link directly with The Empress. The Magician, which is the Creative Principle, and The
Empress, which is the Receptive Principle, are overall reflection of the first two
Hexagrams and confirm even more profoundly their associations within this system.
Hexagram 31, Influence, alludes to the Magician’s command upon the elements through
creative manipulation and Hexagram 32, Duration, alludes to The Empresses ‘term of
pregnancy’ as a result of that receptive creativity. The considered nine-month gestation
period connects directly with Tarot 9, The Hermit that speaks of the creativity of wisdom
being born within the solitude of the soul and introspection of the spirit. By this broad
and yet sufficiently paralleled association, we can connect The Magician, The Empress and
The Hermit directly to each other and consider that where the Magician and Empress are
two active principles in the act of creation and receptivity, the ‘child’ which is the actual
fruit of the Empresses womb is in fact The Hermit, an archetypal fetus of the internalized
conglomeration of this creative/receptive act which ultimately gives birth to wisdom.
Magician + Empress + Hermit = Death = Emperor
1 + 3 + 9 = 13 = 4
82.
The subtotal of the three trumps in this equation is 13 , the Tarot Death card (The
Magician (1) + The Empress (3)) which holds the concept of birth at it’s core in it’s renewal
stage (as opposed to the initiation stages) and also contains reflections of The Fool’s
transformation through seeking within as The Hermit. The equation results in the number
4, which numerologically attributes the realization of power, preparation for renewal and
worldly authority. In this aspect, The Emperor becomes not the partner or the ‘mate’ of
The Empress, but The Empresses child, the evolved ‘Fool-Hermit’ who stands as the
protector and provider for his Mother aspect after the initiation of facing his ignorance
and conquering it. This process illustrates the cycle of responsibility when initiating
creative intent and the need to take responsibility in order to protect its manifestation,
which leads straight back to the Magician. The Hexagrams The Creative, The Receptive,
Influence and Duration are all fragmented descriptives that form a whole to describe this
‘prodigal son’ sequence. It can hereby be determined by the correspondence that
Davydov has set forth that there exists within the Tarot trumps a ‘family’ entirely existing
of The Fool which is allocated around the table of Enlightenment (awareness), which is now
considered in this sense to be the governance keyword I would personally choose for the
first Tarot-I Ching correspondence grouping:
Ace of Wands 1. The Creative
Ace of Swords 2. The Receptive

1. The Magician
Ace of Cups 31. Influence
Ace of Pentacles 32. Duration
Governance: Enlightenment
Numbers: 1, 3, 4 & 13
83.
Now let’s delve even deeper and investigate what happens when we take the new
collective numbers for the first correspondence table above excluding 1 that already
appears as both The Magician and Hexagram 1. The Creative. We will now find the 3rd,
4th and 13th Hexagrams and find comparisons between them and The Empress. The
Emperor and Death cards.
If we break down each association, we can practically begin to see new possible
divinatory meanings based on combinations, which are ‘offshoots’, determined by The
Magician table of Davydov Tarot-I Ching correspondences. Here is a new table as an
example of how this breakdown can occur:
84.

Endings, Transformation, Profound Joining Forces, Eradication of
Alterations, Cycles, Renewal, Rebirth Mistrust, Communication 4. Renewed vows and trust.
Eradicating Misunderstanding
5. Seasons of a relationship
What we can do now is take one new divinatory meaning from each combination
and string them together into a philosophical reflection which will become the new
definition for the word Enlightenment. Here is my ‘tree construction’ example of the result:
85.
Enlightenment:
Through the acknowledgement of one’s inexperience, one can face parts of the self that are contrary
to more naturally prominent facets which can show one what must be eradicated within the self and
what must be accepted in order for integration between the outer and inner worlds and/or selves.
The rebirth of the self is the direct result of the death of the old self which is the acknowledgement
which must occur in order for one to realize that it is two, and for two to realize that it is one.
This new definition of Enlightenment based on the above type of breakdown can
now be compared with the overall governing card which is The Magician, and not only
can we see this as forming a perfectly suitable set of aphorisms for that card, but also this
new reflection encapsulates the entirety of the Davydov correspondence for that area.
Taking the Hexagrams assigned to The Magician and applying them as a maxim for the
word Enlightenment, we can get something along the lines of:
Enlightenment:
Receptivity to creativity is dependent on the duration of influence. Therefore, Enlightenment is the
Father if intention, focus and direction.
This statement in turn directly links the Magician with tarot trump 7, The Chariot,
which Davydov attributes to Hexagram 4, Youthful Folly, which has been principle in the
derivation of this new definition of Enlightenment. The Chariot now becomes the focused
willpower of The Magician in this aspect with the acknowledgement that creation without
must come from intention within and in order for this to occur, both yin and yang must be
86.
confronted equally because all of the natural elements are both creative and receptive in
one.
Quite naturally, The Magician will then arrive directly at the very next I Ching
group which falls under the next Tarot trump, The High Priestess, which is the keeper of
female intuition, feminine wisdom and the receptive divine where he will have the
opportunity to face his unseen dualities. the Hexagram sequence is 3, 4, 33 and 34:
(3) + (4) + (33) + (3 + 4) = (3) + (4) + (33) + (7) = 47 = 11
Containing master numbers in both the equation and the result, another Tarot-I
Ching collaborative story is instantly apparent because The esoteric High Priestess now
takes role as The Master Teacher (33) who calls for the impartiality and advice of her
throned sister aspect, Justice (11) in order to teach The Magician that the balance between
male and female, between intention and karma and between the spoken and the silent are
the pivotal equalities in the manifestation of desire which leads directly to the
impregnation of The Empress whom harbors the Hermit-child. The Magician now learns
that the real fruit of his intention will return to him as wisdom and therefore,
Enlightenment is the true power behind creation.
The process that I have outlined here is something that I like to call ‘cross-stitching’.
The thread is looped back upon itself to gather the relevant correspondences and ‘sewn’ in
to the original stitch thereby joining together attributes and associations which do not
necessarily appear on the historical surface of these divinatory meanings in order to create
a new dictionary or compendium of terms from which to divine. By proving (if not at
87.
least to yourself) that the connections are more than viable by the process of deep
dissection, meditation and reflection, not only can you come to a deeper sense of
understanding the universe and your place within it, but also you can practically integrate
all the oracles into one so that your intuition may decide which message is intended for
you to become aware of. Upon pulling The Magician card, the word Enlightenment could
now spark off a whole array of possibilities that were not necessarily available to you
before, and by considering the I Ching aspects that were involve in the derivation of that
word, the answer to your question may become much more readily available to you than
it might if you were considering the Tarot definitions alone for example.
It can be a lengthy and reflectively intensive exercise to go through each section of
this correspondence, cross-stitching and sewing all the threads together into a veil of
subconscious clues, but it is one that I am adamant will be extremely beneficial to you,
especially once you see the synchronicities, the parallels and once you combine all the
oracular systems together in order to incorporate more meaning. This will also create a
workout exercise for the development of both your intuition and your trust in it.
As the life Path Number of the I Ching is determined by this equation to be number
1, it is also beneficial now to reflect upon the First Path of the Tree of Life which is The
Path of Awareness and which represents the Creator becoming aware of the capability of
creation. The three pre-cursor words are “In the beginning...” Perhaps it is most beneficial
in the event of questioning the re-invention of old ways to ponder the relationship
between The Emperor and Youthful Folly in the investigation here, reflecting on his
immaturity in order to wisely decide the way forwards, and that in order for the greatest
advancements to occur, there must be the inclusion of the origin upon which progress is
88.
built. What this does say is that there is recognition that all truth is interlocking and
magnetic. Where there is the presence of truth, there will be the following of it and only
that which can follow can be made to follow. Happy stitching!
Pythagorean lettering for number 1 stands at:
A+I+S
(+) Alert; Humane; Attractive
(-) Arrogant; Angry; Impulsive
Certainly, if we apply the word Enlightenment to these descriptions and the facets
through which it was derived, we see the light and dark aspects of ignorance and
awareness, immaturity and wisdom, self-awareness and selfishness, the fulfilled and the
unfulfilled. For each governance keyword that you define, relay it back to these qualities
and see what they mean to you in relation.

RUNES
• Used as a system for divination, communication and for making decisions
• Stones, wood discs, glass or metal pebbles inscribed with the runic symbols are cast and
read in the manner and the upright or reversed positions that they fall.
• There are 24 Runes which are generally listed in this system numbering by the English
Alphabet e.g. A = Rune 1, B = Rune 2 etc.
• There are 3 categories under which they group called ‘aetts’. They are:
Freyr’s Aett
Keywords: FERTILITY; EXPANSION; LIFE-FORCE; LOVE
Hagall’s Aett
Keywords: FATE; SEEKING WITHIN; BOUNDARIES
Tyr’s Aett
Keywords: INTEGRATION; UNITY; SYNTHESIS; SPIRITUAL CONNECTION

Rune Numerology
The Life Path Number equation for the Runes is considerably simpler than that of
the I Ching as neither is the complexity of structure present nor is the necessity to break
the categories of the Runic symbols up as they are already determined. For these reasons,
it has been considered sufficient to consider the number of symbols and the number of
aetts. The only deviation from this simplicity was to consider the difference between the
aetts (not entirely the same as the difference between the suits of Tarot’s minor arcana) in
that they are governed by three different esoteric entities. Freyr and Tyr are two of the
Norse gods and Hagall is the derived Rune, which is known as the concept of The Divine
Breath which forms the basis of all religion. Although the precise Runes that fall under
each category are not taken into account as they are considered to be so done by taking
their governances into account, it was considered important to discover the numerological
result of each aett’s ruler by adding their Germanic names individually:
F+R+E+Y+R
6 + 9 + 5 + 7 + 9 = 36 = 9
H+A+G+A+L+L
8 + 1 + 7 + 1 + 3 + 3 = 23 = 5
T+Y+R
2+7+9=9
92.
Significantly, all three of these names together add up to 5 which is the number of
Hagall, the highest and most initial force of life. Whether the names are added to the Life
Path equation separately or as the number 5, the result is precisely the same, so the overall
result has been included:
Runic Alphabet: 24; Aetts: 3; Aett Ruler Name Combination: 5
(2 + 4) + (3) + (5) = (6) + (3) + (5) = 14 = 5
It shouldn’t be any surprise that this oracular system, which has the inclusion of the
name it gives this Divine Spark, adds up to the exact same number as that name. I like to
think that this is evidence of not only numerology’s accuracy in detecting the codes of
existence but also that this system is trustworthy by it’s fundamental design alone. At
least, certainly it’s structure does seem to be divinely blessed by parallels.
As was considered in the section on the Lenormand deck, The Hierophant sits on a
very comfortable cathedra also in the abbey of Germanic Esotericism by numerical Tarot
relation (5) to the orthodoxy and tradition that is very ingrained into the Rune oracle
system. Even though ritual has a place in the use of each oracular system to some degree,
there is something specifically ordained by the approach of the preference for casting the
Runes on an East-West axis which cements some sense of pre-determined availability of
access to the unseen dimensions.
The appearance of Hagall at the centre of the Mayan calendar amplifies the
vibration of number 5 further as it forms a core representation of the Five Great Ages
which are time-spans governed by the energies and forces of the five elements. It is then
93.
no further surprise that the subtotal of the Life Path equation tallies in at 14, The
Temperance card of the Tarot, but often called ‘Alchemy’ which merges and unites diverse
forces and speaks of spirit entering the domains of matter. Not a vague and imaginative
relationship once considering that the Runes (of whichever material they are made) are
believed to be store-houses of power by the inscription of the sacred symbols which seal
that energy within. The modulation and temperance of which number 14 speaks are not
only the higher principles that govern the earthly rituals of the Hierophant, but speak also
of a moderated balance in order for their to be a fair equilibrium between chance and pre-
destination. This can most basically be seen in the way the Runes are cast or selected. If
by casting them all at once from the cloth bag, there will be a number of Runes which fall
face down and the rest will fall facing upwards. Only the showing symbols are read in
relation and therefore there is a sense of fate included in the mix as to which message will
appear for the reader. This sort of ‘fair chance’ is not only granted each time the Runes are
cast this way, but even if they are selected one by one for smaller one or three Rune
readings from the bag, similar to the slips of paper selected for a raffle winner’s name.
This considered, the best way to advance within this area in order to discover
further meaning would be to explore the correspondences between the Runes and the
Tarot, as done previously between Tarot and I Ching. Within and between the numerical
and symbolic relations of the two systems, there just may be further insight into the
similarities between the two and how that could implicate the conjunction with I Ching
and other systems as well. In order to set this forth, it was considered most appropriate to
lean of the beloved Haindl Tarot deck and the Runic attributes given by the majors of that
94.
deck. Please note: These are not the same associations in the universal links in this book
which are based on Alphabetical order for numbering.
The Haindl correspondences can be seen in the following table:
TAROT MAJOR RUNE
0. The Fool Wynn
1. The Magician Peoch
2. The High Priestess Ur
3. The Empress Thom
4. The Emperor Ansuz

Immediately, the first important note to make is of Hagall being assigned to The
Chariot, Tarot number 7. The main point of interest here takes us back to the previous
section on I Ching where there was a discussion about the new definition of Enlightenment
and how The Chariot was brought into association by means of numerical connectivity to
represent the willpower, intention and focus of The Magician. It is the same force as is
termed ‘The Divine Spark’ or Hagall that flows through the veins of the Magician’s
intention and which rushes towards the manifestation of matter magnified by focus of
energy. Once we look even deeper and take into account the Rune that Haindl assigns to
The Hierophant, which is Radh, we find that it numerologically adds up to the master
number 22, that of the Master Builder:
R+A+D+H
9 + 1 + 4 + 8 = 22
A very eloquent way of describing the attributes of the number 22 is to consider the
way that Runes are made and cast and what the purpose of their esoteric use is. The
Master Builder is a combination of the inspirational insights given by 11 and the number
4’s methodical nature - within that being the number 14 of Temperance or Alchemy. The
practicality of the Rune system, whether concerning the materials that the elements are
fashioned from or the way in which they are read unites synchronistically with the
element of spirit within them that is brought to descend into the consciousness of the
diviner, causing both a more superficial as well as symbolic synthesis for the basis of the
messages which are built upon them.
96.
Let’s have a look and see what happens when we bring I Ching in to the picture
and combine all the applicable correspondences across the three systems.
TAROT RUNES I CHING
1. The Creative
2. The Receptive
1. The Magician Peoch
31. Influence
32. Duration
9. The Taming Power of the Small

10. Treading
5. The Hierophant Radh
39. Obstruction
40. Deliverance
13. Fellowship With Men

14. Possession In Great Measure
7. The Chariot Hagall
43. Break-Through
44. Coming To Meet
Firstly what we need to do is add all the numerical elements for each section
together to find an overall number for each. Peoch, the Rune assigned to The Magician is
the master number 11 in Pythagorean correspondences that reflects and amplifies the
number 1. Therefore, the first equation is:
(1) + (11) + (1) + (2) + (3 + 1) + ( 3 + 2) = 24 = 6
Number 6 which governs the Tarot system’s structure and speaks of duality and
synthesis is also a fragment of the alchemical marriage spoken of in terms of
Enlightenment, and is the number which ushers the Magician’s new found synthesis of
creativity and reception across the bridge over the canyon of Influence and Duration (I
Ching) between the Hierophant (5) and The Chariot (6).

97.
Peoch, Rune of The Magician is number 11 which speaks of the influence of Justice
brought forward from the High Priestess’ alter-ego during the teaching of duality to The
Magician and which lands as a shard of influence in the number 6 attributes. Peoch is
then directly followed in the table above by Radh which is number 22, and which
consolidates a hidden sense of order within the disorderly chaos, which is a major
divinatory meaning of Hagalaz (from Hagall) and which follows in the table after The
Hierophant. This then returns to the central figure of this journey, The Hierophant, which
shares the same numerical value (5) as the Rune that follows.
Looking at the second section of the table and doing an equation of all the
corresponding numbers within it we get:
(5) + (11) + (9) + (1 + 0) + (3 + 9) + (4 + 0) = (5) + (11) + (9) + (1) + (3) + (4) = 33
Yet again, the surfacing of the third master number in the investigation is testament
to a higher order of consequence. The Master Teacher is an extremely apt and powerful
name for The Hierophant, whom has built his advice and teachings on the foundations of
trial and error and the knowledge that innovation and risk are most possible for success
only within the origins of tradition and faithfulness to value. These aspects are the
fundamental bed of The Lovers (6), which is the number of the life path for 33.
The Chariot then carries this teaching forward by means of movement inspired by
direction and the practical application of how integration and union within the self can
give rise to the integration and synthesis of matter outside of the self. This triumph over
the battle for reigning in control in order to achieve it once again loops the thread back to
98.
The Magician who must draw down the power of the ethers like a transmitter through
which it may descend onto the table of his symbolisms.
The descent of spirit into matter (by way of challenges, lessons and changes) which
are both the messages of Temperance/Alchemy and Hagall (which holds the governing
number of the Runes) gives an accurate account for the way in which this oracle is used
and for the purpose that it is approached. Considering that the Runes are used also for
message, the conversations between the ego-consciousness and the subconscious are
metaphorically spoken by design.
The final result of The Chariot’s section in the table is 9, which is the culmination of
the cycle before it returns back to The Magician. It can be pondered that this
numerologically reflects the activity of willpower when it is directed towards a successful
result. With intention and focus, it is directed by the synthesis of matter (practice) and
spirit (faith and vision) and by the balance of both elements of creation (yin & yang) with
cause based upon possibility (tradition) for the effect of manifestation (descent of spirit
into matter). In this sense casting the stones can be aligned with the concept of creatively
visualizing reality into being.
By the threading of the Tarot sequence above through the associative attributes and
numerical correspondences of the Runes, we achieve a numerical Tarot order of 1, 5 and 7.
together they give us the final total of 4, which signifies within it two main threads.
Firstly, this is the number of The Emperor which precedes the Hierophant after learning
that youthful folly (which was the I Ching origin of his experience) must be evaluated in
order to define a code of ethics in order to safe-guard his success. This code has now
grown into tradition and may be laid as the foundation for building and teaching the
99.
secrets of his successes. Secondly, the number 4 signifies the methodical nature of activity,
the four directions, four earthly elements and the four suits of The Tarot that have their
symbolic representations laid before The Magician.
Remaining aware of numerological meaning of the number 5 which governs the
Runes by these accounts, it is not forgotten that ‘disruption’ is a significant keyword. This
sort of disruption is recognized as the order that comes from chaos.
By the physical nature of the way the stones are cast, there is indeed disruption by
the randomness of how they fall and once considering what the message could have been if
there had been the slightest alteration to that eventuality, there is a clue to the existence of
Karma. There is a reminder which is tainted with the voice of The Emperor that relays the
possibility of the accruing of Karma by miscalculations made over when to take control
and when to let go.
Within the number 5 there is perhaps a message which governs that chaotic order
by reminding us that in the presence of faith powered by the desire for knowledge,
Enlightenment is granted the moment we realize that sometimes, what we view as
disruption or randomness is simply the deliverance from expectation and desire towards
the truth of what we need.

CHAPTER SEVEN
NON-NUMERICALLY BASED ORACULAR SYSTEMS
It’s always important to remember the full scope of a medium if for nothing else
than not to disregard other very effective manners of divination beyond the suggestions in
this book. The systems that have been considered and combined in this work have very
tangible relationships with numbers and sequences, and so are considered to be a separate
ilk from other systems.
Dowsing, Pendulums, Scrying, Palmistry, Bibliomancy (though crossing over with
numerical practices as well) and Tea Leaf Divination are amongst the most popular of
non-numerical divinatory processes today, though the list of types of these and other
forms of divinations is vast. Some even have offshoots - methods that are mainly the same
yet altered in some small way to suit individual purposes or preferences.
What is termed as ‘meditation’ which often has images conjured up by Western
Civilization as a process of assuming particular postures of the body and clearing the
mind of all thought is very much a form of divination. The fallacy is that meditation
always requires the mind to be void of conscious thought and that the body must assume a
certain posture.
Transcendental meditation is undergone in order to attain a state of heightened
awareness in order to know the self as one with the cosmos. Whilst it is claimed that
profound truths are made available to the meditator, it does not mean that one must reach
this state of ‘empty-minded’ gnosis in order for required knowledge to surface non-
102.
transcendentally. If one is interested in the works of Austin Osman Spare and his sigil
system, it can be ascertained by his writings alone that there is much benefit from the
subconscious filter being distracted away from the conscious mind in order for
programmed information to enter (and vice versa) so that it may do its required work.
This may very well be, but it is recognized that mental programming has applications by
being embedded within the conscious mind as well.
Regardless of how the act is undergone, divination need not actually have anything
to do with any recognition of any spirituality at all. Some deeply analytical thinkers who
may rather claim science as a ‘religion’ find inspiration and answers to invention purely
by the chatterbox living in their brain!
As mentioned previously about weight-lifting in the gym - a constantly running
mind will invariably be much sharper than a lazier one, and it is not uncommon for deep
and constant thinkers to be very adept in telepathy, E.S.P. and seemingly magically
uncanny perceptiveness of situations and people around them. Some of these people may
never have read a single word of any metaphysical material in their entire lives and yet
they possess these ‘invisible antenna’ which both transmit and receive information across
the air like a radio tower. Examples of this can be found through research into the zodiac
houses, very often the signs Aquarius, Gemini and Virgo are credited with this mental
astuteness. Walking divinations or repetitive movement divinations such as swaying,
rocking or spinning are conducive to entrancing the mind and setting it as a platform for
subconscious information to filter through.
The expression “to be deep in thought” very much indicates an act of meditation.
Actually, any single act of trying to discern or determine information that does not
necessarily exist tangibly can be regarded as divination. It certainly does not always mean
103.
looking into the future. Trying to recall something forgotten is no exception as it
compares quite comfortably with the intention of seeking to know the past of a matter
through other forms of more esoterically associated means. It is recognized that on
occasion it is most desirable to still the mind and body somewhat in order to
psychologically prepare for desired information to surface, but this is par for the course. If
you are a busy and deep thinker, the information will come to you just as effectively as if
you are the reflective type who becomes quiet in order for the realization to make itself
known. For the purposes of economic progress, the way you know is the quickest way.
Where the assistance of intuition and wisdom really show their true benefits are
actually in these very times that we are in thought or reflection. If we can determine that
thought influences action and action influences karma, then we can deduce that thought is
karma directly. With knowledge that we are divining our future on a daily basis, each
second of each minute, it becomes clear that awareness of what we think might hold the
key to what we seek to know and also that by harnessing this along with instinctive
recognition of what is, or may not be so desirable for our lives based on what we think and
feel or believe, we can see that spiritual insight may have great merits.
If we base the assumption that any hidden knowledge can be excavated solely on
what we already know as tangible and experienced information, surely this sets a limit to
what we can determine further by this means alone. The point of any sort of divination
(beyond the occasional curiosity) should in it’s highest form surely be that it is able to
transcend the boundaries and limits of conscious thought in order to open a way for
greater enlightenment which is the purest purpose of divinatory power? Whichever the
case, there are people who can find the answers to questions by speeding the mind up and
there are those who can see into the future by stilling the mind - both are divinatory acts.
104.
When employing tools such as crystal spheres and pendulums, it can certainly be
argued that the inclusion of spiritual awareness and insight is paramount. Whether a
cognitivist maintains that this process simply gears the mind to expect activity through
some sort of placebo expectancy or mental manipulation, or a spiritualist believes that
familiars or spirits are actually present and involved directly with the transference of this
information, it is by way of this difference that it is generally accepted that a process
beyond mere thinking is responsible, in addition with the use of these tools, for the
visions, patterns and insights that surface to educate the diviner.
As with many aspects covered in this work, there are countless books on these
subjects which very intimately explore all facets of the how’s and why’s, but the interest
here is in pointing out that these forms of divination are of no direct use to our study here,
unless some sort of number or numerical sequence makes itself blatantly obvious to the
attention of the diviner, because only then may this also be incorporated - very much so -
into the ideas explored throughout the universal system.
If a vision is seen in the crystal ball which is definable as an object yet confusing as
to why such an object specifically has appeared, it may very well be an actual number or
contain a number within it. For example, It may have eight sides/edges or be three-
dimensional or be two colors etc. The pendulum may swing a certain number of times to
a particular letter or number or direction, more so than others and this might be felt to be
of some significance. The number of days in succession that a particular natural
occurrence is noted, or the number of the day/s in the month may be of interest in the
interpretation of what is being considered as might be the number of paces taken from
point A to point B before the dousing rods begin to part. How many times did a specific
thought cross your mind within the same hour, day, week or month?
105.
It is in these instances that forms of non-numerological divination can be employed
in the combined system of numerologically based systems. Where once there may have
been confusion or the assumption that sufficient insight was being obtained, there just
might be more to the picture than meets the eye, so to speak. For what any of these given
tools provide, the acquisition may be much greater once married with a different system
which has been even further expanded.
Some people do multiple readings of the same question in the same sitting -
separately with a variety of tools for outcome comparisons between the system
philosophies or even simply in the act of clarifying the answer with a further card or rune
stone. So it should be no exception that an image observed in the crystal ball can be
clarified by a system of a completely different ilk in the same way that a tarot card may be
dealt in order to clarify a thought or impression.
Where the true potential in all of this lies is a link that will translate more obscure
information into a code that can be incorporated into a universal system which can then
ultimately reflect deeper knowledge of that information. Put more basically, perhaps the
tangible power of numerology can enhance the otherworldly images or messages
witnessed during scrying or pendulum swinging in a way that has not been achieved
before. Wherever a number exists within the messages of these systems, it may be
employed in additive divination. If that number prominently relates to a colour and object
that is significant within the combined system - all the better for association as well.
106.
NON-NUMERICALLY COLLECTIVE EXCEPTIONS
The Tattvas
The Tattvas of Eastern Mysticism might be recognized as a non-numerically based
meditation system which actually does hold a potential sequence of numbers within it -
albeit random and dependent entirely on specific combinations. They can however also be
employed by this orderly or disorderly numbering for deeper meaning if desired.
There are 36 Tattvas in total once all possible combinations have been accounted
for. In order to give an example, which is as practical as possible, here’s a diagram of the
five root elements:
1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
It isn’t necessary to know the names and elements unless combining them for
specific meditations because for this purpose they are simply numbered 1 to 5 but in any
event they are 1. Prithivi (Earth), 2. Vayu (Air), 3. Tejas (Fire), 4. Jala (Water) and 5. Akasa
(Spirit). These shapes are focused on without blinking until the image has burned into the
retina of the eyes that are then closed to reveal the true colors. Visualization is
107.
undergone in order for the image to enlarge until one imagines stepping through the
gateway of it in order to explore the astral landscapes of a specific element.
Only two Tattva roots are ever combined depending on the requirements of the
meditation - it is only the inclusion of a specific colour background for each root element
that brings greater dimension. Once again, these are numbered as 1. Earth (Purple), 2. Air
(Orange), 3. Fire (Green), 4. Water (Navy Blue) and 5. Spirit (White).
As an example, let’s say we want to explore the Earth element Tattva. The
equation would be 1 (Background) + 1 (Root) = 2. If we wanted to explore a combination
such as the Spirit of Fire, then the combination would be 3 + 3 + 5 = 11.
Here is a table showing the results for each Tattva equation based on these root
and element sequences:
Element
Element/
Alone on 1. Earth 2. Air 3. Fire 4. Water 5. Spirit
Root
Background
1. Prithivi 2 3 4 5 6 7
2. Vayu 4 5 6 7 8 9
3. Apas 6 7 8 9 1 11
4. Tejas 8 9 1 11 3 4
5. Akasa 1 11 3 4 5 6
Here we can see that, according to the Tree of Life sequencing of the elements, the
number of the first Tattva is 2 (top left) and the final Tattva holds the number 6 (bottom
right) - the same in the Universal Tarot Link. Of further significance in this case, they are
108.
also a major and minor reflection of each other - as are Yin & Yang and are discovered to
encapsulate the entire universe between them more than once.
The two central Tattva columns each add up to the two master numbers 22 and 33.
These are the numbers of The Master Builder and The Master Teacher. The former
attributes to the visionary, God and realization and the latter attributes to the raising of
consciousness of mankind.
Let’s add these all together:
2 + 22 + 33 + 6 = 9
This equation shows the macrocosm and the microcosm. 2 and 6 are the greater
principles of the order of nature, being balance. 22 and 33 mirror this order on the inner
planes by way of recognizing the transformation from Builder to Teacher - experience of
life earns the soul the skill to impart the wisdom gained by it for further progress. Even
the design of the Tattvas that ‘build’ upon each other for a combination that will impart
knowledge is an intrinsic process reflected at the system’s very core. Whilst this also does
accredit Numerology even further (where perhaps not needed), it does also draw parallels
between the Tattvas and other systems like the Tarot by way of it’s correspondences with
the Tree of Life which the Tattvas follow the elemental order of.
It is also significant to note the entire sum of all Tattvas is the number 3. The Three
of Pentacles from the Tarot traditionally shows a builder at work and speaks of
achievements gained by group efforts. The Tarot Major that governs it, The Empress, is
another echo of The Lovers, which speaks of synthesis and union - both an indication of
109.
the way in which the Tattvas impart their wisdom. As is found in other cases, the
governing number is the true sum of all its parts and reflects itself back on each facet of
itself.
Once a meditation has been completed and what was experienced through it
requires deeper clarification, then a reading can be conducted in another system based on
the applicable number. For example, a number 2 Tattva meditation may inspire the
querent to draw two cards from the tarot deck or to ponder the relationship between the
meditation and any number two cards from other systems (and vice versa) - singularly or
even all combined together etc.
As a result, any infinite possibility of numerical combinations and sequences can be
conducted to derive deeper relationships and dimensions between the Tattvas than ever
before based on the universal code of numerology uniting information and insights from
multiple systems. There is also another benefit for why it may be helpful for the Tattvas to
be ‘organized’ in this way which will be explored in detail later on.
The Kabbalistic Tree of Life
The Kabbalistic Tree of Life has been placed in this section as it is not considered to
be an oracle per se, yet the inclusion of it’s principles and paths are most certainly
fundamental to the Tarot of which the trumps are each assigned. The Tree, which is a
central mystical symbol of The Creation of Existence is used widely as a tool for reflection
and meditation, as are it’s principles considered as guidance in many forms of mantic
practices.
110.
The symbolic Tree is constructed of 10 circles called the Sephiroht and are joined by
22 paths numbered 11-32. The Kabbalists place a very important emphasis on numbers
and it can be noted that the Hebrew alphabet is also considered to have numerical value to
them. As each stage of the universe’s emanation is represented on the Tree, the Sephiroht
that represent these ten stages are meaningfully named by consideration of these
alphanumericals. Each of the numbers encapsulated within the Sephiroht are believed to
hold their true vibrations that are descriptive of their natures.
111.
The Tree of Life
112.
Here is a table of the Sephiroht and their numerical values:
Sephira Number
Kether - The Crown 1
Chochmah - Wisdom 2
Binah - Understanding 3
Chesed - Mercy 4
Geburah - Severity 5
Tiphereth - Beauty 6
Netsah - Victory 7
Hod - Glory 8
Jesod - The Foundation 9
Malchuth - The Kingdom 10
Firstly, if we take all the applicable numbers that are involved in the structure of
this system and add them as we did before in the numerically based oracular systems
section, we get:
Sephiroht: 10; Paths: 22; Path numbers: 11-32
10 + 22 + 11 + 32 = 12 = 3
We can immediately see that this result accounts for the main three triangles that
form the tree. Even the subtotal 12 is indicative of the triangle ratio as one of the triangles
points upwards and two of them point downwards.
113.
However, if we numerologically include all of the hidden information as well,
which means taking into account that gaps bridged between each number from 11 (which
is the silent number) to 32, then we tally in at 21 (also possibly alluding to the idea that
number 0 The Fool of the Tarot is a archetype of destination and origin which is
unaccounted for and yet forms the basis for advancement), adding this to the equation
gives us a very satisfying result:
Sephiroht: 10; Paths: 22; Path numbers: 11-32; Path Bridges: 21
10 + 22 + 11 + 32 + 21 = 96 = 15 = 6
Within the subtotal and the result we see the universal number that the structure of
the Tarot is assigned to and the combination of that number which is the counterpart of it,
The Devil. By this consideration, the Tree of Life holds a numerical overview of Heaven
(the angel from The Lovers card) and Hell (the devil from the dark Lovers card) as well
and, as the 22 paths of The Tree are distributed amongst the Tarot majors, the association
and link is very appropriate. The Lovers being the archetype of creation and the
Kabbalistic recognition that the Divine is only complete by the recognition of being both
male and female simultaneously, we can see that the numerical considerations of this
symbolism is very apt and may be relied upon for the inclusion of any divinatory
interpretations by way of placement in a spread.
Furthermore, there is another application for this placement correspondence that
can be employed in order to incorporate the wisdom of The Tree of Life into divination
114.
consultations which surpass the mere correspondences with he Tarot majors. If we draw
up a table similar to the Tattva table, and we find the numerological attributes of each
path separately, we can find even more hidden information that may be used to enhance
the depth of interpretation and even further link this system with other oracular systems.
Let’s we look at the chart of Sephiroht numerical vibrations with the paths between
them:

Firstly, in order to continue mathematically, a correspondence must be done with
the Pythagorean correspondence in order to determine the numerological value of each
Sephira name. We will not be using the Hebrew letter: number correspondence because
these have already been encapsulated within the Sephiroht names and therefore we need
115.
to translate that to our universal method of numerology. Here are the names and their
numerological values:

Chesed 26/8
Geburah 35/8
Tiphereth 51/6
Netsah 21/3
Hod 18/9
Jesod 17/8
Malchuth 32/5
An equation must now be done in order to determine the universal number of each
path. In each case, this equation will contain the path number, the bridge number (the
first number being silent) and the two path joining numbers i.e. the ‘from’ and ‘to’
numbers.
Here’s the full equation for Path 11, Kether (Crown) to Chochmah (Wisdom) is:
Path: 11; Path Name Numbers: 4 & 5; Joining Sephira: 1 & 2; Bridge: 1
11 + 4 + 5 + 1 + 2 + 1 = 24 = 6
After all the individual equations, here is a chart of the Path results:

From these equations we can separate the Paths in various ways. The first would
be to categorize them as High Paths and Paths. I have chosen not to call the paths without
master numbers anything but simply ‘Paths’ as all the paths of The Tree of Life are
deemed sacred and therefore only paths considered to be numerologically of even higher
117.
value are given a more ‘exalted’ category. The High Paths are all those which have a
master number as their result (11) and the others have single digit results. Here listed by
the order of their appearance on The Tree of Life:

There are various things that can be done to incorporate these paths into divination
readings now (over and above their obvious inclusions in the Tarot). The next chapter
explores in detail how these readings can be done but, in the meantime, The Tree of Life
can be used on it’s own as a meditation or divination tool by assuming the High Path as a
version of Major Arcana and the other paths as Arcana. You could certainly make your
own set of cards from these and assign correspondences and attributes gleaned by your
own meditations to each path in order for this new tool to assist you in your won
universal readings. The Paths could be further categorized in a new and ‘arcane’
numbering system where they are grouped by their specific numerological results, i.e.:

What I find very intriguing is the missing 2 and 4 in the Path collective categories.
Recounting the exploration undertaken in the previous chapter where the consideration of
the ‘new journey of The Fool’ was taken into account, The Magician must face The High
Priestess in order to confront and accept the feminine aspects of his being in order to
create. Number 2 which is the number of the High Priestess and number 4 which is the
number of The Emperor who is the hierarchical epitome of masculinity are now
highlighted as being opposite ends of the axis, or at least, representing extreme poles of
distinction. Remembering to approach The Tree of Life as it is intended, which is a ‘map’
of the order of the various stages of Creation and the fundamental Kabbalistic belief that
The Divine cannot be either one of male or female in order to be complete, it seems only
pertinent that the archetypal numbers that represent the roots of feminine energy and the
zenith of masculine energy are missing as two separate parts and instead are included in
number 3 which is Jung’s Anima, The Empress, who is the seat of receptivity as well as
creativity by her capacity to be female who gives birth to the male. Whilst this profoundly
dissective approach to re-categorizing and re-examining established and sacred traditions
may not suite everybody, it does seem interesting that this consideration can arise from
the fact that there does appear to be a hidden harmony of belief embedded within the
numerological findings.
Another way to make new correspondences with the Tarot (which can then be
universally linked further across the other oracle systems) is to assign the new order of
High Paths and Paths to the existing Tarot trump order. This is of course not to replace
the the original Path correspondences yet to obtain more information based on further
associations.
120.
Let’s say that you have pulled The High Priestess card with awareness that the Tree
of Life Path that corresponds to it is traditionally Path 13, which joins Kether (Crown) to
Tiphereth (Beauty). You could take Path 23, Geburah to Hod which now falls in the High
Priestess’s place of traditional order and unite these two paths in perspective of The High
Priestess’s message for more profound insight. Just like the Lenormand tradition of
uniting two systems of cards in order for more information, so too can there be such a
unity here. For example, Path 23 is traditionally assigned to The Hanged Man. By this
correspondence, The Hanged Man may be read in conjunction with The High Priestess
even if only her card appears in the spread. This will have a direct bearing on the stance
that she takes and therefore what the rest of the reading will have to say. In addition, both
attributes of both paths may be united or compared for greater insights behind that area of
the reading.
This can, of course, be broken down even further in other numerous ways. The
most obvious would be to take the Path numbers and deduce them to single digits:

following chapter) all three paths assigned to these number can be brought into reflection
for deeper meaning if so desired. Equally, the universal path numbers may be added to
the new single digit numbers for a new result which can call for yet another
card/stone/coin etc. to be pulled and therefore can act as a silent form of shuffling for
example. As an example, let’s say that we have pulled the High Priestess card. The Path
number attributed to that card is 13, but once added to the universal number that is 8,
there is a total of 21/3. By this design, Judgment and The Empress can be retrieved,
Hexagram 21 and 3 could be retrieved or the same with the Runes etc. Alternatively, only
the result which is 3 can be used for a deeper comparison or confirmation. There will be a
reading in this vein explored a nit more in the ‘Sample Readings’ chapter.
122.
In any event, what we have now is The Tree of life laid out in specific groups and
sections that may, by the numerological values, be incorporated beyond their regular
associations. For example, let’s look at what occurs to the traditional meanings of these
paths once ‘tainted’ with the vibrations of the category numbers.
Astrology & The Zodiac
There is so much debate about the Daily Horoscope and whether there can be any
truth or accuracy in it, given the variables of a whole heap of things ranging from
geography to the intimate details in natal chart reports that vary so intricately between
individuals. Whatever the case, it certainly isn’t my intention to steam-roll over any
astrologers who passionately expound their wisdom in the horoscope section of your
favorite magazines and newspapers, but I only make this mention as a way of drawing
attention to the fact that astrology is used as a divination means in fundamentally varied
ways that contrast to the way that other oracle systems work. Numerology runs at a
parallel with the way that astrology works in the sense that lifetime cycles and predictions
can be made more accurately and targeted more specifically as opposed to, say, a Tarot
spread which claims to foretell one’s life from birth to death.
The only similarity that can reasonably be claimed, in my humble opinion, is the
similarity between the daily horoscope and the daily Tarot card or spread. Because, as we
are aware that the future is so open to change, there are not in reality many more aspects
of it that can be determined so assuredly other than the bearing of the planetary positions
on the nature and personality, and even physical features, of a human being.
123.
For this reason, Astrology is considered to be both an oracle and not an oracle. It is
a way to glean insight into the future based on scientific calculations and principles which
in a manner of speaking, segregate it from the more traditional houses of fortune-telling.
The applicable planets assigned to the Zodiac are explored in the divinatory sense
in more depth in the following chapter, but a mention of the Sun Signs must be mentioned
now in order for them too to have universal numerical correspondences.
As with other meanings and attributes, there are brief descriptions of all oracle
elements in the appendices, and these include the Sun signs as even a basic understanding
of them will be required for use in the readings.
Further to that, there is not more can be said before moving on to the heart of this
book other than for the purposes of universal classification, the signs of the zodiac have
been numbered in their traditional order, which is:
ZODIAC SIGN UNIVERSAL NUMBER
Aries 1
Taurus 2
Gemini 3
Cancer 4
Leo 5
Virgo 6
Libra 7
Scorpio 8
Sagittarius 9
Capricorn 10
Aquarius 11
Pisces 12
124.
The numerology equation of the structure of the Zodiac considers the number of
signs, the number of signs per element, the number of elements, the number of planets, the
number of masculine and feminine signs and the number of cardinal, mutable and fixed
signs.:
Sun Signs: 12; Signs Per Element: 3; Elements: 4; Planets: 7; Masculine: 6; Feminine: 6;
Cardinal: 4; Mutable: 4; Fixed: 4
12 + 3 + 4 + 7 + 6 + 6 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 50 = 5
Exercise: Meditate on how the Zodiac can be described as a system by the attributes of the
number 5 and research the descriptive words which are applicable for the ‘Tree
Construction’ exercise in which you would discuss the nature of this system for your own
associative understanding.
125.
CHAPTER EIGHT
PLANETARY CRYPTOGRAPHY DIVINATION
The other planets have long been believed to have correspondences that directly
relate to the way in which we live our lives on this planet - from our character
complexities to our spirituality. Whilst Astrology is built upon this very ‘belief’, it is not a
‘faith’ that is unfounded in scientific plausibility. Numbers have seeped their way into the
fractional rafters of our celestial ceiling in the same way that they are steeped within the
chlorophyll which flows through the leaves and which relies upon the correct
temperatures and elements (which are also measured numerically) provided by our
heavens.
It is really no surprise that the Planetary Squares were devised by ancient mystic
‘mathemagicians’, nor is it a surprise that they were even devisable in the first instance. A
whole book can be written on that subject alone once exploring how many aspects were
taken into account in order for calculations and digit orders to construct these squares - all
we know is that they work by the very nature of their successful construction, being very
basically that every row, diagonal and column adds up to the same total, and the esoteric
accuracy of how they relate to their particular corresponding planets.
Certainly in the Western Mystic Traditions, these squares have applications ranging
from sigil construction to talismanic inscriptions, yet they are not widely used in
Numerology practices beyond numbers being involved in their sequenced constructions.
126.
A Universal Stage
There is a popular adage which states that “anything worth having is worth a grand
and worthy chase”. You can trust me implicitly now when I assure you that you will need to
go on just such a runaround to get to the destination offered, certainly in this chapter. But
I must tell you also that I feel completely confident that the trip will not be a completely
wasted one - this universe never ceases to astonish me with what it has to offer us. I
believe that the inspiration that brought this to being read by you right now was a gift
intended initially for me alone, if not just for me to finally start seeing things in my life
that I had completely fallen blind to. And I found a practical and scientific method to
discover many of things that had fallen outside of my vision.
I would very much like to share ‘my’ gift with you because I feel confident that you
will reap benefits yourself and that it can provide (if not merely confirmation of other
astrological and numerology findings) a deeper element or dimension to the information
you are attempting to divine regarding any given subject, circumstance or person. It is
intended to be a ‘platform’ or ‘stage’ for questions to be answered by the universe in ways
and in detail perhaps not yet generally experienced.
I will not lie (and you’ll see the truth for yourself as we move on anyhow) - this
system can become quite challenging and complicated, especially when you are in the
learning stages. It is no toy for a quick fix! (Please note: A very basic recap and summary of all
guidelines, rules and specifics will be broken down for easy reference at the end of this chapter)
It was not easy to formulate, (even if aspects of it are quite basic) and I lived
through much trial and error to ensure that it brought me the best results possible. Even
the processes of designing it confused me, because much of it was instinctively led
127.
through intuition and arduous sessions involving hours and hours of serious
concentration and research. But I was certainly granted the passion and drive to
surmount the challenges it threw at me - perhaps it was that which was the most valuable
gift, at least for me. Through this, I have grown tremendously.
I would really like to encourage you not to give up too quickly if you feel it all
becomes a little too overwhelming because I also feel that I have managed to discard some
of the most difficult aspects by presenting the system as a finalized result. The real hard
slog has been done! Trust me...
I will walk you through all the technical processes of how this system is
constructed, attempting to leave not the smallest detail unexplained so that you may also
experience the benefits that it can offer - and which I have seen more than enough to know
as being beneficial. Please do remember that throughout this chapter you will on occasion
be reading mathematical processes for understanding instead of instructions necessary for
you to carry out yourself. Sometimes...
Like anything that seems challenging in the beginning, practice and becoming
accustomed to anything can remove barriers. It can inspire a way of thinking (if you are
not primarily right-brained) which will reap its own benefits, and hopefully enable you in
turn to become more ‘fluent’ with this way of divining.
The good news is that some of it is very easy to comprehend and there are plenty
diagrams to see you through it. Also, your divination sessions will be the richer for it,
whichever oracle/s system/s you use and you may very well see yourself very soon
128.
owning a collection of various different kinds of oracles, should you own only one, or
only one kind presently.
The Impetus
The creative spark for this system came from a vision that I had for realizing a way
to link the known numerically-based mantic systems into one universal system thereby
turning any given oracle to the use and system of any other given oracle. This creative
energy was rooted in a desire to be able to scientifically ‘prove’ the value and validity of
divination beyond already established scientific and mystical patterns by attempted
amplification of similarities and parallels, and by hopefully proving some ‘missing’ ones.
At the very least, the intention still stands. I recall the instances of my own frustration
during times when I simply couldn’t grasp the messages I sought after and wished there
could perhaps be some sort of ‘fail-safe’ or reference system that could - if not help me to
see - then give me a multitude of other options or bits of information that could assist me
with understanding when everything seemed ‘cut off’. Something to jog the ‘skull-
porridge’ and get the imagination juices bubbling. I felt the burning desire of needing
guidance and answers in the face of incomprehension to be tormentous.
Mathematically, the basic idea was to take the seven Planetary Squares and to
formulate a successive set in each case, keeping only the physical structure of rows and
columns and then rearranging the numbers in alternative directional and numerical
sequences, based on consecutive and orderly sequences of numbers i.e. 1; 2; 3; 4; 5 etc.
This created a series of ‘templates’ that give the numbers in the original squares a new
number correspondence for various new formulas.
129.
In each set, the numbered Templates show shaded co-ordinates. These are where
the numbers of the new assignments remain true to the original planetary square
positions.
The first set created were positive aspect Divining Templates, where each Planetary
Square was rearranged numerically with the numbers following consecutively across the
rows from left to right in each row top to bottom. Here you can see, as an example, the
difference between the Planetary Square and the Positive Aspects Divining Template of
Mars:
Square of Mars Square of Mars (+) Divining Template
11 24 7 20 3 1 2 3 4 5
4 12 25 8 16 6 7 8 9 10
17 5 13 21 9 11 12 13 14 15
10 18 1 14 22 16 17 18 19 20
23 6 19 2 15 21 22 23 24 25
In themselves, these new Templates have absolutely no mystical value yet it is their
application which brings about their worth. However, the direction of the numbering is
mystically inspired by the Left-Hand and Right Hand Paths of the Western Esoteric
Tradition. As a very general rule and sufficient explanation for this purpose, it is widely
considered that the Right-Hand Path follows accepted order and generates the qualities of
130.
light and benevolence. The positive aspect templates therefore have the numbers moving
in the right-hand direction.
Because doing the Left-Hand Path reverse of this for the second set would have
proven to be futile with regards to line totals at a later stage, the numbers have been
reassigned for this purpose moving down the columns in each case in a consequential
order moving from right to left across the square like this:
Square of Mars (-) Divining Template
21 16 11 6 1
22 17 12 7 2
23 18 13 8 3
24 19 14 9 4
25 20 15 10 5
In the case of the third set, the Ascendant Divining Templates, it was considered
that both the direction of the movement across the columns and the direction of the
movements across the rows was to be alternative, thereby reflecting both left and right.
This is a metaphorical calculation which providentially proves to be fundamental in the
usage of this system (examples further on), and as we are looking at information regarding
the planet as the rising sign of a person, the numbers are consequential moving up the
Templates beginning from right to left in the first row (the opposite of the positive aspects
first row direction) and then from left to right in the second. This serpentine sequence
131.
continues to the top of the square, finishing either on the same side as beginning or the
opposite side depending on the amount of rows:
Square of Mars (Ascendant) Divining Template
25 24 23 22 21
16 17 18 19 20
15 14 13 12 11
6 7 8 9 10
5 4 3 2 1
The fourth overall set of templates contain mini-sets of 3 per planet. They
have no numbers, and are called Allocators. They have only a border and outlines
indicating specific grid block positions. These are to act as decoding readers which are
placed over the Planetary Squares
Note: You will not need to practically follow the next instruction as I have taken the liberty
of finalizing this already, but this is set forth for you to discover how the final result was
determined.
Resulting from separate calculations of each row and column as well as each
diagonal from right to left and from left to right, a line total is tallied for each and the
number of that total is then shaded on an applicable rough grid in the would-be position
for same number appearing on the Divining Template being calculated. The same process
is given to each of the Divining Templates until three rough grids per planet are produced
- one for positive aspects (+), one for minor aspects (-) and one for ascendant sign
(Ascendant). There are cases where the same line total number appears more than once,
132.
but if it is already shaded, then it is considered to be accounted for and the next number
yet unaccounted for is then shaded etc etc. If a number resulting from the line addition is
too high, the number is once again added to reduce it’s value and that co-ordinate is used
instead (if not already taken).
This set of rough grids for planet Mars shows these initial accounts for the three
Divining Templates:
Mars (+) Mars (-) Mars (Ascendant)
Now, for a practical example we look at the Mars (+) rough grid again, but this time
with the corresponding divining template numbers showing their co-ordinates:
Mars (+)
3 4
6 7 8 9 10
11 12 14 15
133.
These numbers (where there are more than one in a row or column) need to be
added for a single number. If the total does not reflect a number in the shaded squares, it
may be added again in an attempt for the new total to reflect an available number. If
neither totals are reflected in two counts of an addition, the total is discarded and the next
row or column is then added up etc. The totals are added to an empty row or column as a
guide:
Mars (+)
3 4
6 7 8 9 10
11 12 14 15
8 10 11 9 7
Once the final set of numbers has been determined, the shaded areas containing any
numbers not amongst them are removed:
Mars (+)
7 8 9 10
11
8 10 11 9 7
134.
When this pattern is applied as finalized version, the entire grid is removed except
for the applicable segments and the border and is called an Allocator:
These allocators should be drawn or penned on transparency sheets or clear plastic
card with colored permanent markers in order to be made ready for use on any
combination of planetary squares and divining templates. Placed over a Planetary
Square they will reveal (or ‘encase’) the applicable number sequence for equation.
For the most part whilst working with this system, dice will be required, but for this
next example we will assume that these following co-ordinates are the determined ones as
the Allocator happens to be the same size as the Planetary Square.
Equation A
Lets say that we want to find out the Mars (+) aspects messages within the Mars
Ascendant Divining Template. Shown here is where our example allocator’s co-ordinates
fall:
135.
25 24 23 22 21
16 17 18 19 20
15 14 13 12 11
6 7 8 9 10
5 4 3 2 1
The first calculation is then conducted in order to reveal the guide point for the
same translucent template on the planetary square. The co-ordinates are always to be read
upwards from left to right:
Equation A:
(1 + 5) + (1 + 7) + (1 + 8) + (1 + 9) + (2 + 0 ) = (6) + (8) + (9) + (1) + (2) = 26 = 8
This reveals a sequence of numbers, in this case 6, 8, 9, 1 and 2 which must be
written down along with the subtotal and the final total, in this case 26/8. You will now
need to go to the Planetary Square in order to ‘recode’ these co-ordinates with the
numbers there. The final result of this Equation A, being 8, is the Allocator’s corner guide
on the main Square. The general rule for this is very simple:
- If the guide number is higher than five, the translucent template’s top right-hand corner
will be used and if 5 or lower, the top left hand corner will be used.
136.
This will decide how the co-ordinate pattern falls on the square. The single result
from Equation A may be used as the guide number on the Saturn Square as it has only
single digits. For all other squares, you will use the subtotal number, 26 in this example.
If the numbers on the square are lower than this amount you may reverse the number. If
the reversed subtotal becomes higher than the numbers of the square, you should add
them together - in this case 62 would be too high and so 8 will be our guide number. If the
total of Equation A is a master number (11, 22 or 33) then there will be no subtotal and the
Allocator should then be placed dead center of the square. (More details under ‘Dice
Instructions’)
Equation B
This example shows the co-ordinates over the Square of Mars based on the number
8 as a guide point:
Square of Mars
11 24 7 20 3
4 12 25 8 16
17 5 13 21 9
10 18 1 14 22
23 6 19 2 15
137.
Because the final total of Equation A (8) was higher than 5, the top right-hand
corner of the Allocator must align with the number determined for the guide point.
Obviously this will mean that in any given case (depending on the guide point and the
square) some of the co-ordinates might ‘fall out of vision’. In such a case, the excluded
part of the pattern must continue it’s natural order upwards from left to right. If no co-
ordinates of the pattern are captured then the entire sequence must begin on the
applicable amount of spaces back from the opposite side of the square.
In this instance, the first co-ordinate of the original sequence has fallen out and so
now becomes the last co-ordinate in the new sequence after being continued on the
opposite side of the Square. For this example we can see that it may appear as if the
pattern was continued immediately after the translucent guide, but this is just how the
numbering worked here due to the size of the Square. What you will in actuality do is
count the amount of spaces required for the ‘fallen out’ section to continue, and then count
that amount of spaces back from the side of the square opposite to the captured co-
ordinate/s. The beginning of the reconstruction will take place from there and then move,
once again, upwards and to the left starting with the lowest co-ordinate always.
The number sequence must now be written from left to right across the Square, the
last number in the original sequence now being the first.
(Please note: Because of the left to right and upwards reading sequence, in a case like this example
where the last new co-ordinate position on the left (22) is a lower level than the previous co-
ordinates, it will seem that an upward direction is being sacrificed in the interest of maintaining a
right direction flow (i.e. 21 higher to 22 lower to the right). This is not considered to be a false
move as it is the necessary choice least disruptive to the sequence.)
138.
Equation B:
(1 + 7) + (5) + (1 + 3) + (2 + 1) + (22) = (8) + (5) + (4) + (3) + (22) = 42 = 6
It is now up to you to choose which oracular system you wish to employ, if not a
combination. The numbers 6, 8, 9, 1 and 2 from Equation A are the numbers of the Tarot
cards (major arcana up to 22 or entire deck up to 78), Lenormand cards (up to 36), Playing-
Cards (up to 52), I Ching Hexagrams (up to 64), Runes (up to 26) or Tree of Life Paths (up
to 32). If you wish to use only one system, this will obviously need to be a system that
has a number of cards etc. that will cover the entire range of numbers in the spread. If you
decide to use two systems then you can use as many of one to fill it’s numerical capacity in
the spread and do an ‘overspill’ with a second. For example, The master number 33
appears in the equation but you had decided only to use the Tarot trumps. As these only
contain 22 cards, you can either use number 3 Tarot trump coupled with number 3 from
any other system (or both 3’s from other systems) to make up this master number together
or you can just use number 33 from another system alone.
Equation A Interpretation
Whilst it is recommended that you use each system on their own in turn as far as
possible to compare any differences, an element of a different system for each number is
advised as soon as you can when beginning to divine this way as it will bring the
experience of joining these oracles together to create unified messages. There is so much
more information to be realized once this process is used. To give you a more detailed
139.
example, I will use divinatory meanings for Tarot Major 6, Lenormand 8, Rune 9, I Ching
Hexagram 1 and Tree of Life Path 2:
The Lovers - Coffin (incl. 9 of Diamonds) - Isa (Ice / Frozen) - Ch'ien (The Creative) - The
Path of Intention - Taurus
Here are brief meanings and then a short summary showing the way that I have
interpreted the issues that the Mars (Ascendant) is providing, which is in a style that would
most aptly be inserted into an astrological natal chart report:
• The Lovers - Choice and sexuality
• Coffin - Ending and mourning (9 of Diamonds - Wishing for what was)
• Isa - Stasis and ego-consciousness
• Ch’ien - Constant efforts and realized potentials
• The Path of Intention - The impetus and reason for acting
• Taurus - Dependable, stubborn, patient, uncompromising
Equation A Interpretation:
It is apparent that this person may have issues where choices of sexuality have caused much
disruption in both relationships and acceptance of the self. Issues of guilt have perhaps caused this
person to act insensitively and there appears to be a substantial presence of regret. The unrealized
solution for the problem/issue that this person encounters in the area of untamed sexual energy is
for them to be able to become aware of who they truly are and therefore to minimize the opportunity
for wishing that situations had been more durable in retrospect. The key would be for this
140.
individual to examine their intentions more closely and come to a realization that they have
consciously chosen their current path instead of being powerless to controlling any weaknesses.
Perhaps some time spent in retreat from relationships will allow some space to reflect on what has
happened and bring them to a place of better understanding their urges and impulses by meditating
on what inspires them to act. If this person can endure the lessons patiently and bring himself or
herself to a place of self-dependability, this may also eradicate the need to be uncompromising with
others and therefore their choices and actions can exist in a place of less stubbornness and
impulsiveness.
Because this reading was done on the main Mars Square, there were no true-to-
main square shadings as may appear on the other templates and so these interpretations
are based on the upright positions/positive aspects of the oracles. If the sequence of
numbers should cross any previously shaded numbers on the divining template, these
should be read as reversed or in negative aspect, unless they are one of the three master
numbers. This is truly important because in this manner, the entire reading is ‘colored’ by
these ‘hostilities’ even if there are actually no physically reversed elements. This is noted
in Tarot with all upright cards most specifically in the minor card attributes of the Thoth
deck where cards of a certain suit are accepted by default as being either hostile or
friendly to any card from an incompatible or compatible suit. The same is experienced
with the Lenormand system where some cards are so neutral that they literally rely on a
neighboring card to decide their matured meanings.
141.
Equation A Overall Conclusion
After this is done, the preliminary result of Equation A (26) is written down along
with the final result (8) - the two numbers separated with a forward-slash. This
numerological combination to the result of 6 is then interpreted as an overall conclusion to
the summary (here, according to traditional numerology associations):
Equation A Overall Conclusion: (26/8)
‘Needs to unify’, ‘re-evaluation’, ‘responsibility’ and ‘power’ are keywords of 26/8 which re-
iterate and confirm the message that this person has been moved by a sense of guilt and regret to
face themselves and take real action in order to rectify their issues in this area so that they can live a
happier and less mournful life. This is primarily suggested by the need present in reconciling their
wants and their needs in this area. A sense of service pervades this persons consciousness now as
they realize that they will be protecting others from these issues as well as themselves and that the
only way to achieve this is to be responsible by retreating from any possible temptations until they
have come to a place of more stillness and strength which will afford them a sense of power.
Through this newfound power, alternative and destructive energies can be deflected.
It is very clear that not only does this further interpretation accommodate the
previous summary, but specifically amplifies or repeats particular points of it based on
traditional meanings - all separate from each other as systems and yet unified by cryptic
correlations.
Now that the first minor report for Mars ascendant issues/challenges/highlights
etc. has been formulated, the second minor report based on the ascendant aspects but
142.
applied to the Sun in Mars (main Planetary Square of Mars), we will be able to divine
information in comparison about how someone with a Mars sun sign (Aries/Scorpio) who
is faced with the same challenges might cope/deal with or evade the ascendant bearings
of Mars on a different un sign native.
Please Note: This does not mean that what you will discover will necessary be better.
Depending on the aspects, a Mars native in this case may even have these effects amplified
(depending on the ascendant in that case) but in retrospect, the solution or guidance may
appear clearer in Equation A’s interpretation by comparison. The main idea here for two
things to occur:
1. Insight of sun sign experience can be ascertained by ascendants with different sun signs
based specifically on their ascendant’s unique co-ordinates.
2. More insight in general can occur for the Astrological database with regards to specific
incidents, occurrences etc. between signs and ascendants. Each reading done this way
and documented moves astrology further forwards as anyone can practically discover
necessary information about anyone willing around them based on their own
application to another sign. Any sign can obtain a detailed report of how their life may
have altered, in fact how their very nature and character would be if they shuffled their
natal chart around based on their ascendant or anyone else’s. This information would
also be esoterically obtained as opposed to only scientifically.
143.
Equation B Interpretation
Moving on to the interpretation for Equation B. I will choose Tarot 8, Lenormand 5,
Rune 4, The Tree of Life Path 3 and I Ching Hexagram 22 :
Strength - Tree (incl. Seven of Hearts) - Dagaz - The Path of Belief - Pi
• Strength - Discipline in morality and powers of conviction
• Tree - Health and overall wellbeing (7 of Hearts - Hail and Hearty!)
• Hagalaz - Paradoxical truth and change, often traumatic
• The Path of Belief - The foundation that enables intention
• Pi - Grace and valuing inner beauty
What follows now leans on the ‘Tree Construction Excersise’ where a combination of
ready information and intuition/imagination is employed.
Equation B Interpretation:
It could prove most beneficial for this person to learn to watch arrivals and departures of
people and situations from a place of established power and to reflect upon the ideas that many
things that they are seeking are to be found within them. It is very likely that a restoration of mind,
body and spirit will be overseen by an equilibrium caused by removing the self from the situation
and viewing it objectively instead of being subjected to it. With their possible need to be invisible to
them-self by assuming the role or affections of another, their transformation seems to have truly
144.
occurred, albeit unwittingly, as this could very well be what has made them face their true self.
Where this act could foreseeably be traumatic, the change that this shock will cause will have a
profound and lasting effect of the individual’s esteem. The true key would seem to be in curbing
passions and impulses with a transfer of energy into enthusiastic control and withdrawal and by
remembering that situations in life are temporary and that patience endured can bring a person less
regrets in hindsight. Overall, it appears that a sense of sheltering and a reminder of the value of
more domestic values will play an important role in the healing of this person’s troubles. The key
that would lead them to this understanding may very well be inherent in the meditation upon
beliefs being the formation of action. Once this individual begins to believe that they have strength
and that they have a right to be happy, they can then act upon their intentions of pursuing that
happiness. By transferring the attention fro superficial qualities and turning inwards to value the
beauty and power there, a sense of grace could certainly elevate them from their chains and allow
their freedom from the want of freedom.
This part of the report is much more like guidance in counseling as it can often
bring into balance the extreme of the ascendant ‘tangents’ and the stable surety and
experience of the native sign. Sometimes people feel it can be a little ‘preachy’, but the fact
that there is discomfort in the truth proves something - there is truth present!
It may be particularly interesting to note that this reading that involves
comparisons with the Mars Ascendant and the Mars Sun Sign contains The Emperor
which in Tarot is assigned to Zodiac sign Aries which is ruled by Mars. Equally, the Rune
Hagalaz is often attributed to The Tower of the Tarot, and that card is also attributed to
the planet Mars. The Emperor in many ways can reflect the positive powers of Mars
145.
where The Tower shows the more destructive side of it - the former being power in control
and the latter being power in negative surprise.
Predictions in this area are often very subtly hidden between the lines of the
information being perceived/intuited/divined and so if the querent is inclined to be more
interested in the future rather than how to get there, it may be a good idea to do an initial
report and then scan it for insights before finalizing it. That said, however, you will find
that many of these silent predictions surface in the last part of this report, yet as it is the
overall conclusion for this section, you may wish to put your more detailed findings in the
prior part. This is completely your choice as is everything.
Equation B Overall Outcome
Now we bring the subtotal and total from Equation B (42/6) forward and give our
final interpretation on those specific co-ordinates.
Overall Conclusion for Equation B: (42/6)
Numerologically, 42/6 alludes to service, responsibility, order and the need for security
without restraints. In the light of previous reflections, this combination encapsulates the entirety of
the main crux of the issue. There is in evidence a great responsibility in balancing the self with the
outer world and finding harmony between the needs, desires and the beliefs of what is and what is
not possible. The main underlying issue, which is indeed the search for security without being a
prisoner to superficial addictions is addressed and the solution to achieving this is answered as the
assumption of the attitude that the individual is doing a service - not only to themselves - but also
146.
to others in that there is focus on a minimization of the potential in hurting others emotionally and
psychologically as a result of fickle indecisions. Because Rune Dagaz speaks of change which is
often traumatic, as well and the comprehensions of the paradoxes of truth and a higher allusion to
Yin & Yang, it is very possible that this person will confront issues of sexual orientation as well.
The need for exaggerated experimentation suggests that through bringing the self into balance and
harmony with true desires and unrestrained freedom of choice, the event that sees them undergoing
a renovation of their overall health will be a turning point that cannot be undone, and many
psychological barriers will be addressed and eradicated. The trauma of this is suggests the
prediction that perhaps there will be the meeting of someone who speaks deeply to the heart and soul
of this individual and an irrevocable change will need to occur in order for them to be together.
Equation A & B Summary Chart
Okay, so even for one part of the report, this is a lot of information to process let
alone adding Equation A’s findings as well. But this is the part which is really interesting
and can be so extremely revealing and prophetic. If you wish, you can assemble both of
the equations’ findings and pick through them to note out the parallels and similarities if
you like. I find that the most effective and simple way to do this is to draw a crude table
as a summary chart on a piece of paper with four sections headed like this:
147.
Similarities Differences
The Lovers & Ch’ien - Choice and sexuality with Ch’ien & Isa - Constant effort and realized potentials
constant efforts and realized potentials with stasis and ego consciousness
Coffin & Isa - Endings and mourning with stasis and Coffin & The Lovers - Endings and mourning with
ego consciousness Choice and sexuality
Strength & Tree - Health and power of conviction The Lovers & Hagalaz - Choice and truth being a
paradox
Hagalaz & Path of Belief - Paradoxes of truth and
impossibility being a belief. Tree & Coffin - Wellbeing and mourning

By mapping information out this way it can spark new revelations that may not
have come to light by the next process alone, and in addition, there is now a reference to
check back on.
Equation C
Equation C is almost too infinitesimal to warrant such a formal title, yet it is the most
predictive part of the report and so it gets the royal treatment too! Simply add the
148.
subtotals or totals together from Equations A and B and then the subtotals together. Each
overall result will naturally be the same:
(2 + 6) + (4 + 2) = 14 = 5
and
8 + 6 = 14 = 5
If there is no subtotal for one or both equations, simply add the totals together. If
they arrive at a master number, as always, this will be your final number. If this number is
too high for the Square being divined upon, the number may then be halved instead of
added (i.e. 11 = 1 instead of 11 = 2) This should also be done in order for the next reason
(number 1 would be used in each separate case in that example).
Find the first number 5 on the Square of Mars and select the number that represents
it on the Mars (Ascendant) Template, which is 14. Then find the second number 5 on the
Mars (Ascendant) Template and select the number it represents on the Mars Square that is

Equation C:
(1 + 4) + (2 + 3) = (5) + (5) = 10 = 1
Number 1 governs all of this information with emphasis on future trends. What I
would do now is gather all the number 1 elements from Tarot, Lenormand, Playing-Cards,
I Ching, Runes, Tree of Life, Numerology and Zodiac (you may choose only one if you feel
so inclined, but the information will be limited unless you are very psychically adept).
149.
Once Equation C Predictions are made, compare the result back with the summary chart.
Any nagging inconsistencies will become further questions for divination/clarification.
Equation C Predictions
For my example, here are the listed elements:
The Magician - Rider (Incl. 9 of Hearts) - Ch’ien - Ansuz - The Path of Awareness -
Number 1 - Aries
• The Magician - Direction of energy and awareness
• Rider - Coming and goings (9 of Hearts - Manifestation of Desire)
• Ch’ien - Persistent effort brings great creativity
• Ansuz - Mental stability and transformation
• The Path of Awareness - Access of creation to the divine for wisdom
• Number 1 - Self-motivation and independence
• Aries - Impulsive, Short-tempered, optimistic, courageous
Equation C Predictions:
The amplification through these messages of the activity whereby energy will be redirected
both through internal awareness and through physical circumstantial change points most intensely
on the need for aspects of this individuals previous ways of being to be shedded entirely in order for
new and altered ways of experience to arrive. This person will undergo a pilgrimage of sorts which
will be intensive as suggested by a need for self-motivation and persistence of effort. This is
150.
indicated to be a success and the person will indeed endure because of the creation of new
awareness’s gained by the very traumatic experience of facing truths about life and the self which
were not previously available through physical experiences alone. Abstinence from current desires
will have the same effect on this person as abstinence from an addictive substance. There will be
many mood-swings and it is best that the person chooses to be solitary during this time. This
experience will certainly not go unrewarded as the manifestation of desire occurs. By reasoning,
the deepest desire that this person has is forbidden in their awareness of the physical world and only
by accessing their deep-seated fears and illusions are they able to retain a sense of their true needs.
They will retreat from the desires that they think they currently have and which are causing them
destruction in order to realize that in the absence of them, they no longer need them. It is suggested
that the meeting of someone who represents everything that they truly want will occur, but not
before the individual has completely worked through their issues, which will create some transitory
trauma. However, this trauma is indicated to be healthy and necessary by means of inspiring the
individual to make a final and necessary choice that will lead to eventual peace, harmony and
happiness. Aries, which appears as the first sign of the Zodiac is governed by Mars which indicates
a sense of full circle in these findings. Aries being the impetuous child speaks of rebirth and new
beginnings with the need to learn a new way of life.
There is no such specific person in these circumstances that I am aware of. I have
chosen the original co-ordinates to give these examples based on random selections in
order to demonstrate how important the use of imagination, free instinct and the ability to
pay attention to profound detail really is in addition to the technicalities of this system -
well, in fact to all of life. Most certainly, none of it has been contrived, and I am in awe as
always over how many consistencies there are throughout the investigations. I have
151.
found information by this process which has very rarely led me astray, and I am confident
enough to say that if it ever did, it was when I was not paying proper attention and was
personally at fault.
I still do not feel that it is ever a lecture to speak of being conscious of remembering
that the responsibility of divination is vast and, just as I would hopefully never sit behind
the wheel of a car on the motorway whilst completely obliterated by alcohol, I would
never approach any system with such potential power when the powers of my senses,
concentration and intentions were not absolutely in balance - especially not for someone
else.
There are, certainly in my view, no demons giving false information here but
hopefully only your awareness is expanding and learning to ‘hear’ the universe. There are
many people who have ‘heard demonic voices in their head which told them to do things’
who never entered the vicinity of a divination tool or system in their life.
When we take action towards future possibilities that we’ve become aware of in the
tangible world by way of control, choices and decisions we feel this is perfectly acceptable
- our right even. Yet, when we attempt to do the same through the insight given by
divination we often tend to feel this is unsafe or wrong. There is little difference, if any,
between the two scenarios. All that has changed is the manner in which we are becoming
aware of the choices we have. Whether you are comfortable and adept at this before you
apply it to trusting strangers is between you and the results you achieve through this
system. Either way, there will be evidence.
Personally, I feel that the greatest insight anybody new to divination may be given
is that it has very little to do with fortune-telling - and a lot!. Used as a tool to understand
your life and yourself, it will help you make choices that will shape your fortune, but
152.
those changes will speak truth into your heart and you will know any falsities should they
arise - in the same way you intuit whether a friend or business associate is lying to you
without divination tools. The very notion of the possibility of your ‘fortune’ being told to
you seriously is the real danger (one which has paradoxically been given real power by
those who have no understanding of divination at all), because this also intimates that we
have no choice. I believe that a world full of people believing that they have no choice is a
world of true oppression.
The volume of information and insights that you can divine through planetary
cryptics over even one small aspect of your life can be astonishing. One of the best ways
to get started with this is to try it on family and friends who you know well. In this
manner you will see how much relevant information surfaces and this will increase your
trust expediently.
Dice Instructions
Now we will look at an example where the dice will be needed (which, actually, is
always with this system but was omitted before now to save confusion in the beginning
stages).
Two sets of dice are used simultaneously for consultation. The dice are shaken in
both hands, a pair per hand, or all four in one cup and are rolled all together. Where the
Squares or Divining Templates are much smaller like Square of Saturn and Square of
Jupiter e.g. the numbers thrown are added and then added again for a smaller total. If the
second total is greater than the capacity of the Square, the second total is added to arrive at
a third total and so on, until a suitable guide number is arrived at.
153.
Dice Sequence
The four die are always read in sequence of where they fall in the same manner as
the number sequence pattern is read by the allocators, which is left to right and upwards:
The sequence here would be 5-6; 1-3
154.
Reflected Combinations
If there is ever an exact reflection of combinations in pairs, the combination of each
pair must be tallied and the result added to each other (i.e. 4-3; 4-3 = 7 + 7 = 14 = 5). The
total (5) would be used on the Saturn Squares and Divining Templates as a guide number
and the subtotal (14) would be used on higher Squares and Divining Templates as a guide
number. The highest number in the combination shows which top corner of the Allocator
will be used on the guide number (in this example, 4 on the left means top left-hand
corner)
If there is a reversed reflection of combinations in pairs (i.e. 5-4; 4-5) the totals of
each (9) are still added together (18 or 9) but the first number of the first combination will
be read (5) and this will indicate which top corner of the Allocator will be placed on the
guide number (18 or 9).
155.
- 1, 2 or 3 means top left.
- 4, 5 or 6 means top right
Mixed Combinations
In the case of mixed combinations (i.e. 5-2; 6-3):
- A higher total of the left dice pair combination would mean that the top left-hand corner of
the Allocator will be placed on the guide number of the Square or Divining Template.
- A higher total of the right dice pair combination would mean that the top right-hand corner
of the Allocator will be placed on the guide number of the Square or Divining Template.
Quadruple Numbers
Should any quadruple number be cast (i.e. 1-1; 1-1 etc.), the Allocator is placed
centrally over the Square with the Square’s two most inner columns (or most central
column and row) as it’s ‘spine’ or ‘cross-section’. If a quadruple is rolled and there is an
even number Allocator over an odd number square/divining template, a new co-ordinate
will have to be chosen for the Allocator so that it may stay central but without any of it’s
columns or rows being dissected in half. The two numbers at the very top of the central
columns of the square or divining template are added for a single-digit total in this
instance.
- Lower than 5 means that the Allocator moves to align with the left central column
and the lower central row.
- 5 or higher moves the Allocator to align with the right central column and the
higher central row.
156.
If a quadruple number is rolled and there is an odd number allocator over an even
number square/divining template, the number at the top of the central Square/Divining
Template column is used in the same way as above to determine the side and level to
which the allocator will shift. Showing the two scenarios here:
Even Divining Template Covered by Odd Allocator
Mars (+) Allocator covering Sun (+) Divining Template at odds with central cross highlighted
blue.
Mars (+) Allocator covering Sun (+) Divining Template and shifted to align with template right
central column and template higher central row (3 + 4 = 7)
157.
Odd Square Covered by Even Allocator
Sun (+) Allocator covering Square of the Moon at odds with central cross highlighted blue.
Sun (+) Allocator covering Square of the Moon and shifted to align with Square left central
column and Square lower central row ((2 + 1) = 3).
158.
Double-Pass
A note should be made of every combination rolled. If the same double
combination is rolled in the same session (exact or reverse i.e. 5-4; 4-5 or 4-5; 5-4 or 5-4; 5-4),
the double combination is added together and noted down. Upon the appearance of a
double combination repeat, a second roll will hopefully provide a different combination
which is sub-totaled (i.e. 2-5 = 7; 6-5 = 11) and then added to the previous number in order
to provide an allocator placing:
((5 + 4) + (4 + 5)) + ((2 + 5) + (6 + 5)) = (9 + 9) + (7 + 11) = (18 or 9) + (18 or 9) = 18 or 9
This is called a ‘double-pass’, and the information gleaned from this is to be added to
the information gained by the previous roll of the same original mirror-combination for a
further summary of those planetary aspects being divined. You might end up adding the
aspects of a completely different planet to the current summary where this may not have
been the intention or expected, yet makes itself known as information that is best
considered. This could happen equally with the same planet. Whichever the case, a
double-pass is to be considered extremely important as the level of detail concerning a
particular aspect of the reading is suggesting that not all the information available or
necessary has yet been discovered.
There are practical and detailed examples of all of these cases in the ‘Sample
Consultations’ chapter.
159.
Clarifying ‘Out of Vision’
Now to re-iterate what must occur in the event that any given allocator co-ordinates
fall outside of the range of the divining template. Let us look at the Ascendant Divining
Template for the Square of the Sun with the true-to-master square number shadings
removed for less confusion. This diagram shows the dice rolled at a final total of 21 and
the Mars (+) Allocator placed for divining co-ordinates:
31 32 33 34 35 36
30 29 28 27 26 25
19 20 21 22 23 24
18 17 16 15 14 13
7 8 9 10 11 12
6 5 4 3 2 1
This shows that most of the co-ordinates have been captured on the Divining
Template this time except for one which is accounted for on the opposite side of the
Square (18).
In this next example, we will use the Mars (+) Allocator and the dice rolled at a total
of 24. Only the first co-ordinate will show on this divination template so we now need to
reassign the rest to the next available positions in order.
160.
To recap: These are always assigned from where they left off and continue in pattern
succession from the opposite side of the square. This image and applicable equation will
explain the rectification:
31 32 33 34 35 36
30 29 28 27 26 25
19 20 21 22 23 24
18 17 16 15 14 13
7 8 9 10 11 12
6 5 4 3 2 1
(1 + 8) + (1 + 7) + (1 + 6) + (1 + 5) + (1 + 2) = (9) + (8) + (7) + (6) + (3) = 33
Tip: As the master number 33 appears here three times in the spread equation, the
option is to use the number 3 card/coin/stone from a combination of systems or simply to
emphasize and centralize your interpretations instead of only the overall conclusions etc.
This is not necessary but can definitely provide even further insight.
Multiple Scans
Now for a slightly trickier scenario. Here’s the Saturn (Ascendant) Divining
Template and then the Mars (+) Allocator placed over it:
161.
9 8 7
4 5 6
3 2 1
Saturn (Ascendant) Divining Template showing true-to-main square number 5
9 8 7
4 5 6
3 2 1
Saturn (Ascendant) Divining Template covered by Mars (+) Allocator, dice rolled quadruple
9 8 7 4
6 4 5 6
3 2 1
Mars (+) Allocator original co-ordinates 6 and 4 (outside Saturn template) shown re-allocated (in
black) in original pattern sequence after captured co-ordinates (9, 8 & 7) across the Saturn
(Ascendant) Divining Template.
162.
We can see that two scans were necessary to re-locate the fallen co-ordinates.
Number 6, the first original co-ordinate, naturally landed on the same row it would have if
it had been captured originally yet is now the second-last new co-ordinate. Number 4 that
was the last original co-ordinate has now become the first in the new sequence, but has
also landed on the same row as 6. This is simply because if it had continued the required
amount of spaces after number 6’s new allocation, it would have landed on number 9 -
one of the captured co-ordinates. Because all of the available spaces on this line have been
captured already, the next natural thing to do would be to assign the last fallen co-
ordinate to the first available space on the immediately neighboring line which disrupts the
natural sequence the least. As the sequence would naturally follow from the opposite
lateral side of the Template, the co-ordinate cannot be placed higher and therefore
continue from the opposite vertical side of the Template (this is explored in the next
example). Because no higher line is available on this smaller Divining Template, number 6
must now be placed directly below the intended new co-ordinate on the Template. The
new sequence now reads 4; 9; 8; 6; 7.
Now let’s just (for arguments sake) say that the dice roll has produced a guide
number of 4 with the Mars (+) Allocator this time to be placed at its top left-hand corner:
9 8 7
4 5 6
3 2 1
163.
Especially in this case, this is tricky because the Template is very is ‘cozy’, and both
lateral and vertical sides of it will show the sequence continuance. What must now occur
is that the sequence has to re-think itself line by line and adhering to the rules of reading
the itself from left to right and upwards. Because the first fallen co-ordinate is lower than
the first captured co-ordinate, it must assume it’s would-be position on the opposite side
of the square, which in this instance is the top. So the first co-ordinate of the sequence that
has fallen out of vision now will land on 9 as shaded in light grey:
9 8 7
4 5 6
3 2 1
The next fallen co-ordinates to be placed (after 2 and 1), which are originally the last
two of the sequence, will naturally come directly after the two captured co-ordinates to the
left of the Template falling on 3 and 2. As 2 is occupied by a captured co-ordinate and so
will 3 be on the next scan, the final co-ordinate in this case will land on the space directly
above, being 4. As a result here, this co-ordinate must now appear one row up and
continue from the left side of the Template that means that it naturally will land on 4:
9 8 7
4 5 6
3 2 1
164.
We can see that there were three scans necessary in order to reassemble this pattern as
accurately as possible given the size of the Divining Template and in relation to the
position of the first captured co-ordinates. The sequence now results in the first natural
co-ordinate (which was fallen) to resume as the first co-ordinate in the reading yet without
being misplaced by order. The last natural co-ordinates (which were also fallen) have
now become misplaced as the first and second new co-ordinates in the reading sequence,
pushing the second and third co-ordinates of the natural sequence (which were captured)
to become the reading sequence’s fourth and fifth co-ordinates. The sequence now reads
3; 4; 9; 2; 1.
For me, this is the order of the universe and the nature of relativity explained both
graphically and mathematically. From order there is chaos and vice versa. Both the
elements of fate as well as design are present in the pre-determined oracular reading, and
so it does not offend or contradict other systems of the same genetics (i.e. random
shuffling and casting) The further addition of the reader’s interpretation and intuition will
truly awaken what speaks between the codes.
There will be a greater invariability with the Saturn Square and Divining Templates
that numerous scans may be needed for all of the Allocator’s co-ordinates to appear in the
equation. This is due to the obviously smaller dimensions of the Square and will become
even more challenging as you move up to Allocators of, say, The Moon, where vast
numbers of spaces will appear. Still, it is all achievable, and in the instances that co-
ordinates end up landing on already occupied co-ordinate positions, then you may take it
165.
that this co-ordinate is already accounted for and move to the next undesignated co-
ordinate that would most naturally suit the new placement (as in the previous example).
Tip 1: The main thing in this correlation is that the same amount of co-ordinates
appears in the equation as there are on the Allocator. If you find that eradicating a co-
ordinate because it is already occupied leaves you with less than the number required,
assign the applicable co-ordinate to the very next available space on the same row/column
or the next after that etc. following the required direction of the sequence, even if the new
co-ordinate seriously offends the original sequence. A serious offense is always better
than a false move!
Tip 2: When continuing co-ordinate patterns that partially fall outside of the
divining template it is easier to reassemble them line by line, lowest to highest, and by
counting the spaces of the original pattern in order to determine where the new co-
ordinates fall in relation. This is especially desired when there are multiple scans of re-
assembly.
Reversed / Negative Spread Interpretation Co-ordinates
So, let’s see what happens when we align the Allocator for Mars (+) with top left
(31) on the Sun (Ascendant) Divining Template which shows all the true-to-main planetary
square number positions:
166.
31 32 33 34 35 36
30 29 28 27 26 25
19 20 21 22 23 24
18 17 16 15 14 13
7 8 9 10 11 12
6 5 4 3 2 1
The sequence we get here is (this is a basic example reading and does not follow the A B
& C Equations process for this purpose) :
(1 + 9) + (2 + 9) + (2 + 8) + (2 + 7) + (2 + 6) = (1) + (11) + (1) + (9) + (8) = 30 = 3
Our list of oracular correspondence numbers is 1, 11, 1, 9 and 8, with the first
number 1 read reversed or in negative light because it has crossed over true-to-master
Square numbers. Let’s also say that we have a keen interest to try this interpretation only
with the Tarot. You may reduce repeat numbers if your intuition is nagging you for some
more variety (or if you wish to employ several oracular systems in addition), but in this
case the numbers would repeat as well (1; 1) . Because there are repeats of 1, one of them
may be eradicated leaving the sequence as 1; 11; 9; 8 :
The Magician (Reversed) - Justice - The Hermit - Strength etc.
167.
As a quick overview of the interpretation, The Magician would take it’s original
reversed meanings which point to trickery, con-men, negative manipulation etc. Placed
next to Justice in this light it may refer to court cases, and with The Hermit it could very
possibly allude to separation proceedings as a result of infidelity or what have you. If The
Magician had been read the right way up, the scenario would change significantly and
colour the energy of Justice as directed power (with Strength) ‘hitting the mark’ (Justice)
and causing profound change to occur within someone (The Hermit) etc.
Afflictions
Just the same as true-to-main square co-ordinates do not appear in the same
quantity on every Divining Template (in some cases there is only one), afflictions appear
even less and are only apparent on the Divining Templates of certain planets. The
questions that might arise are over concerns of how this would benefit other readings on
Templates that do not show any, especially in the terms of Astrological findings.
It is significant to remember that these afflictions do not allude to pointing out the
same sort of afflictions that a natal chart report would show. They are afflictions in
themselves and pertaining only to the Template on which they show because they are
obvious markings that show a disruption in a consistent mirror pattern created by true-to-
main square co-ordinates. They are to be read reversed just the same as other co-ordinates
in the pattern except that if any reading sequence number falls over those afflictions - even
if captured by the Allocator of a different planet - they should have the gravest emphasis
placed on them because the message present by their role of reversal would hold and
amplify the core of issues and disruptive information contained within that reading.
168.
Often the information surfacing from those afflictions is very sensitive and greatest
caution and care should be taken by the reader when relaying the information they hold to
the enquirer so that they are mindful of the manner in which that truth is expounded.
These afflictions point to soft-spots or tender issues within the life of the person being
enquired about. You may often feel your wisdom tugging at you at this point and decide
not to reveal what you see in favor of finding other means during the rest of the
consultation to impart the necessary information.
In short, these afflictions are present to show information that may usually fall out
of the right to be known for a higher cause, yet which partially contains vital information
that must be divined for the greater good of the reading and the benefit of the enquirer.
Planetary Aspect Reminders
When determining these interpretations, it is a good idea, at least in the beginning,
to keep the symbol/s or name/s of the planet/s as well as their aspects (positive, minor or
rising) for which you are working with in clear view as reminders in order to regulate
your interpretations and keep them within perspective of the natal correspondences. As
in the example above, a symbol of Mars (+) and of Sun (Ascendant) will remind the reader
to apply the qualities of the planets to the interpretation as they will guide the impressions
of the oracular meanings. For example, as the Sun is warmth and light, this would suggest
that the Mars fiery energies will really be amplified - whether that energy is positive or
negative is then ultimately defined by the interpretation of the oracle/s layout. Whatever
the case, this has an intricate bearing on the nature and accuracy of the reading and the
outcome.
169.
A good exercise for you to try right now would be to think of a question or
scenario, apply it to the above oracular line-up using only one oracle’s definitions and
then apply the planetary aspects to the interpretations and make a note of how it enhances
or changes it.
If you are of the psychic school that relies on your own impressions of color or /and
sentience etc., and do not regard the traditional meanings of the oracles to be too
pertinent, then simply divine the message in the way that these cards inspire it in you, but
in the light of planetary influences, co-ordinates and aspects.
It is my suggestion though, to those who feel that they are quite comfortable with
the more universal meanings, that they will still find many parallels between those
messages and known instances or situations. In your own time you may wish to discard
the original meanings once you feel that you sense of self-trust is more profoundly
established and once you feel that you have gained your own ‘library’ of divinatory
meanings.

- Two pairs of dice
You will make:
Planetary Squares (White Card Stock) 7
Divining Templates: (White Card Stock)
Set One - Planetary (+) Templates 7
Set Two - Planetary (-) Templates 7
Set Three - Planetary (Ascendant) Templates 7
Allocators: (Transparency)
Set Four - Planetary (+) mini-set 7
- Planetary (-) mini-set 7
- Planetary (Ascendant) mini-set 7
Total: 49
Instructions:
• Each Divining Template and each Allocator is constructed with the same block
measurements i.e. 2 x 2 centimeter rows and columns. Sets One, Two and Three and
Four should be color coordinated with their planetary colors:
171.
Saturn - Black
Jupiter - Blue
Mars - Red
Sun - Yellow/Gold
Venus - Green
Mercury - Purple
Moon - Grey/Silver
Each square/template/allocator should have approximately a 2 cm border outside
of the grid edges so that the name of the template, square or allocator may be inscribed on
it - at the top of the Squares, Divining Templates and Allocators. Where there is a color
fill as noted on Templates with true-to-main square co-ordinates, the numbers of those co-
ordinates should be written over the shading in white ink or paint. It is suggested that all
Squares, Templates and Allocators are laminated for durability and preservation.
A symbol in the appropriate color should also me made for each planet as well as
(+), (-) and (Ascendant) signs. These should be 2 x 2 centimeters on white card stock and
laminated. They are placed on the table or divination space as a reminder, and to signify,
the appropriate combination of planets and their aspects being divined.
172.
Overall Guidelines Summary for Divination With Planetary Cryptography
The Process:
1. A question is formulated, a matter of interest is put forward or an astrological aspect is
determined for investigation and the applicable Planetary Square, Divining Template
and Allocator is chosen.
2. The dice are rolled to determine where the Allocator is placed on the Divining
Template.
3. The co-ordinates indicated on the Divining Template by the Allocator are added up for
a result which is called Equation A. The resulting sequence of numbers, the subtotal and
the total are written down.
4. The final total of Equation A is used as the guide number for the Allocator on the
Planetary Square.
5. If any co-ordinates shown in the Allocator now fall out of vision (off of the Square),
they are to be continued in sequence on the opposite side of the square in the same
direction until all co-ordinates are captured. This may take several scans in the case of
smaller squares or templates.
6. The new co-ordinates must now be written down. They are read from left to right and
upwards where possible with least disruption to the sequence.
7. The co-ordinates are added up for a result and this is called Equation B. The resulting
sequences of numbers, subtotal and total are written down.
173.
8. The desired oracle/oracles is/are chosen and the applicable numbered elements are
gathered to be read in the original sequence for each equation.
9. Equation A Interpretation is made.
10. Equation A Overall Outcome is made based on Equation A’s subtotal in numerology
correspondence.
11. Equation B Interpretation is made.
12. Equation B Overall Conclusion is made based on Equation B’s subtotal in numerology
correspondence.
13. A summary chart is drawn up for Equation A and Equation B reports where similarities,
differences, personal insights and possible predictions are recorded. (Optional, yet
highly recommended.)
14. The subtotals from Equation A and Equation B are added up together and this is called
Equation C. Find the result on the main Planetary Square and then compare it with the
co-ordinate on the applicable Divining Template. Find the total number from Equation
A and Equation B on the Divining Template and compare it with the co-ordinate on the
Planetary Square. Add the two co-ordinates together. This new number is Equation C’s
oracle reading number.
15. Assemble the applicable numbered elements from the chosen oracle/s.
16. Equation C Predictions are made.
17. Compare Equation C Predictions with the summary chart.
174.
The N.B. Specifics:
1. For guide numbers - lower than 5 means top left hand corner and 5 or higher means top
right hand corner.
2. Any master number i.e. 11, 22 or 33 is added as it is to any equation and is interpreted
by the numerology correspondence as an entire number should it be either a subtotal or
a total.
3. Any dice roll that produces the same combination in sequence from left dice pair to
right dice pair calls for a double-pass - the dice are rolled again and a new combination
is added to the previous combination. (It is recommended that each dice roll is recorded)
4. Any co-ordinates that cross over true-to-main square positions must be read
reversed/hostile in the oracle spread.
5. All co-ordinate sequence/patterns are read from left to right and upwards. Any break
of direction is forbidden unless not doing so is more disruptive to the sequence.
6. Any co-ordinate that lands on an already assigned co-ordinate through a multiple scan
may be assigned to a new available co-ordinate that presents the most natural position
to the ongoing sequence. If all co-ordinates are taken, the co-ordinate is allowed to fall
away and be dis-counted.
7. There must be the same amount of numbers in the equation as there are co-ordinates
contained in the applicable Allocator.
175.
CHAPTER NINE
SIMPLER PLANETARY CRYPTOGRAPHY DIVINATION
It was considered necessary in the previous chapter to ‘dive straight in to the deep
end’ whilst introducing Planetary Cryptography divination in order to ensure that all the
basics were covered and that a more comprehensive understanding of the system was
ensured. If you feel that you are not yet comfortable with all the directions and
guidelines, feel free to take your time before you move on, but reassuringly, this section
might even help a little in that area. The instructions here obviously lean on the main
instructions for the system but are slightly diverted in some areas in order to assure that a
well rounded and full usage of the system can be enjoyed for the benefits of the enquirers.
Astrologically, the Planetary Squares are very significant because they reflect
information that directly relates to planetary aspects and, once combined, can be strung
together for larger readings that can prove to be more profoundly insightful in any given
area inquired about. For example, you might place numerous Allocators over one
Planetary Square in order to find the influences of one planet on several others within the
same are of questioning. Alternatively, You may decide to place the same Allocator on all
seven Planetary Squares successively and then thread all the results together in one major
investigation. The options really are limitless and as far as rules go in that area - anything
goes.
The reason that there is a need for reading processes of a simpler nature to exist is
another mathematical one. The Squares and Divining Templates vary in size and
176.
numerical capacity as do the dice roll under a limit as to how high their combinations can
equate.
If we take a Planetary Square or Divining Template such as The Moon which has a
numerical capacity of 81, there is no greater certainty that an Allocator such as that of the
small Saturn Square is going (in any random sequence) to ever have a chance to capture all
of the co-ordinates on that Square or Template at some time with four dice which only
have the capacity to produce the number 12 in each pair. Even quadruple sixes added
together would only produce 24 which falls majorly short of the great Square capacity.
The solution is really very simple. The larger the Squares become, the more varied
are the ways in which the dice rolled results are read. When doing simpler readings
(which might be the most frequent types that you choose to do with this system), you
would pay attention to the numerical capacity of the Square or Template on which you
have chosen and divine by that means which the most appropriate manner in which to
read the dice results. If you are working on the Square of Jupiter which has a capacity of
16, you could chose an overall result where both dice pairs in combination add up to any
number below or up to that capacity which is to be used as the Allocator guide number. If
moving up to larger Squares and Templates, you could choose to read each dice pair
combination as a separate number and couple them for a larger co-ordinate number. For
example, let’s imagine you have thrown a 4-3; 2-6 dice roll. You would add up each pair
separately i.e. 7 and 8 and derive the number 78 as the Allocator guide co-ordinate on the
Moon Square or Divining Template etc.
The same rule would apply as in the previous chapter except this time it would take
double-digits into account. For example, anything up to 59 would mean that the top left
177.
hand corner of the Allocator would be used, and anything from 60 upwards would mean
that the top right-hand corner of the Allocator would be used.
As for determining which planets you would choose and combine, the suggestion
here is to go back to the old-school way of working and to bring a classical element of
faith, expectation, trust and randomness to the process in order for a more ‘organic’
element to the equations. This would be the only way in which this system is employed in
the same manner as the oracular systems which are either shuffled, tossed, spread etc.
Whereas this system has shown itself as the determining force that would normally be the
shuffling etc. it will now be employed in a similar manner before it does it’s usual task of
shuffling or mixing the oracular systems for you.
The suggested way of working here generally would be to separate the Squares and
Divining Templates into one pile and Allocators into another. Separate the planet symbols
that you made (including the (+), (-) and (Ascendant) ones) into three small piles and
ensure that they are all face down.
Whilst doing the next operations, in each instance, you should close your eyes and
concentrate on the question at hand or simply relax and open yourself to the messages
that the universe considers important for you to be made aware of at this time.
Here are the two process options for simpler Planetary Cryptography divinations:
Method One:
1. Mix through the planet symbol cards between your fingers until the time feels right for
you to choose one. Select it, open your eyes and make a note of the planet. Set the cards
aside.
178.
2. Mix through the (+), (-) and (Ascendant) cards until the time feels right for you to choose
one. Select it, open your eyes and make a note of it.
3. Now select the appropriate Allocator suggested by the cards from the applicable pile
and set it aside.
4. Place the pile of Squares and Divining Templates in front of you and ‘wash’ them with
both hands in circular motions until they are all mixed on the surface or floor before
you. With your eyes still closed, select one and set it aside with the chosen Allocator.
5. Gather up all the other cards and Squares etc and put them aside.
6. Place the chosen Square or Template in front of you and the Allocator next to it.
7. Roll the dice and read the applicable guide number for the Allocator.
8. Place the Allocator over the Square or Divining Template and record the final sequence
of co-ordinates.
9. Conduct a simple numerology equation to add the co-ordinates into sequence numbers,
their subtotal and the total (the same as you would in Equation A examples shown in the
previous chapter).
10. Choose the cycle numbers as your oracular element numbers and interpret.
11. Select a numerology definition that reflects your subtotal/total combination
number or an oracle number element if there is no subtotal (only a master number) and
interpret the overall conclusion.
Method Two:
1. Separate the Planetary Squares and Divining Templates into pile 1, and the Allocators
into pile 2.
179.
2. ‘Wash’ pile 1 in front of you until the time seems right and select an item. Set it aside.
3. ‘Wash’ pile 2 in front of you until the time seems right and select an item. Set it aside
with the first item.
4. Put all other items away and place the two chosen items before you.
5. Roll the dice and determine the applicable guide number for the Allocator.
6. Record the final sequence and conduct a numerology equation as in the previous
method.
7. Interpret the oracle line-up and overall conclusion as in the previous method.
Dice Alternative
A very happy and effective alternative to dice are playing cards, especially because
of the traditional way of shuffling that they bring into the process. A separate playing-
card deck should be used for this purpose alone. Each of the four suites must only contain
cards from Ace to 6 and the rest of the cards are discarded. The cards are then shuffled
and the deck is split into four piles from right to left. The top card from each pile is
selected and the sequence is read from left to right. This will take the place of the number
sequence obtained from a dice roll.
180.
CHAPTER TEN
PLANETARY CRYPTOGRAPHY SIGILS
There does not seem (on the surface) to be any further application for these
mysterious symbols of creative coalescence here than have already been established by
other practices. The effect that is desired from sigilization will ultimately be exactly the
same when employed the same way for that same effect, but there are two means by
which they can be derived and of use in this system - both beneficial to the sigil and for the
system.
First to clarify the essence of sigils for any newcomers to the subject by looking at
an example by using the smallest of our planetary squares:
Square of Saturn
4 9 2
3 5 7
8 1 6
Here it is obvious that these numbers do not follow a numerological sequence as in
1; 2; 3; 4 etc. yet they are inscribed in a planetary sequence and then delegated across the
square based on how many squares there are in total. This is perfectly fine if you would
like to construct a sigil on the square using Pythagorean number: letter correspondences,
but this takes into account that you readily have the word or pattern of letters required.
181.
An example of this would be wanting to spell the name ALEX on the Square of
Saturn. The number: letter correspondences are A=1; L=3; E=5 and X=6 The sigil would
look like this:
There is, however, a way to use these squares in order to obtain hidden information
and connections by reassigning the numbers in order to derive further numbers which can
then be divined by correspondences and added to information gleaned by other methods
such as being used as Sigil Allocators for providing more detail or clarity for unclear
aspects. This can also be done with a person’s name but, for the purpose of this exercise,
we are going to use the person’s birth date in order to find their planetary life path
numbers, both positive and negative, as well as the positive and negative aspect numbers
of their ascendant sign as well.
This exercise can also be employed by astrologers to provide deeper insight into
aspects calculated in their reports. Obviously, the person’s sun sign will determine the
square used for their birth date and birth name formulas, as well as their ascendant sign.
For this example, we are using the Square of Saturn and the birth date from an
earlier example, being February 18, 1971 or 02/18/1971.
Please note: Uranus is the planet considered to govern Aquarius, but before 1718, this was
considered to be Saturn. As we are using classical squares, the Square of Saturn will be used in
this Aquarian’s case.

182.
Because this square only has nine numbers, single digit construction will take place
for the month, day and year. In the cases where the applicable planetary square is larger
and double-digits appear which are great enough to cover the year segments (i.e. 19-71),
then those block position on the square will be used for correspondence with the other
squares in the set. Showing the difference between 1971 on the Saturn Square and on the
Moon Square:
Saturn
4 9 2
3 5 7
8 1 6
Moon
37 78 29 70 21 62 13 54 5
6 38 79 30 71 22 63 14 46
47 7 39 80 31 72 23 55 15
16 48 8 40 81 32 64 24 56
57 17 49 9 41 73 33 65 25
26 58 18 50 1 42 74 34 66
67 27 59 10 51 2 43 75 35
36 68 19 60 11 52 3 44 76
77 28 69 20 61 12 53 4 45
183.
Here is the normal square followed by the square numerically rearranged in
positive aspects order:
Square of Saturn
4 9 2
3 5 7
8 1 6
Square of Saturn (+) Template
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
The positive aspects template is arranged with sequenced numbers from the left to
the right in each row descending. In comparison, the original square now has different
numerical correspondences. Showing the Template number equals the original
correspondence:
1=8 2=3 3=4
4=1 5=5 6=9
7=6 8=7 9=2
Based on this new numerical correspondence, the 02/18/1971 birthdate in re-
arranged numbers is 03/87/8268. The three cycle formula is:
184.
(0 + 3) + (8 + 7) + (8 + 2 + 6 + 8) = (3) + (6) + (6) = 6
Now that we have the number 6 as the positively aspected planetary number, and
the numbers 3, 6 and 6 as the three cycle numbers, this information can be referenced
against the divinatory information attributed to these numbers and can be assembled into
a complete overview report of the positive aspects of that planet in all of the person’s
lifetime stages. Once compared with information already known about the planet in the
person’s natal chart as well as compared against known aspects of other planetary aspects,
the information can be extremely revealing and often predictive.
To work out the ascendant sign planetary number of a person, you would need to
obtain a natal chart of the person’s date, time and location at birth. Once this is obtained,
you can then choose the applicable planet and it’s accompanying ascendant divining
template. For example, Frederick is an Aquarian with a Virgo ascendant. So for the
purpose of this illustration, we will use the planetary Square of Mercury, which governs
Virgo:
Square of Mercury
8 58 59 5 4 62 63 1
49 15 14 52 53 11 10 56
41 23 22 44 48 19 18 45
32 34 38 29 25 35 39 28
40 26 27 37 36 30 31 33
17 47 46 20 21 43 42 24
9 55 51 12 13 54 50 16
64 2 3 61 60 6 7 57
185.
Square of Mercury (Ascendant) Template
57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64
56 55 54 53 52 51 50 49
41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48
40 39 38 37 36 35 34 33
25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32
24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17
9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
You can notice that the numbers in the ascendant template begin bottom right and
work their way sequentially up the square in serpentine fashion to end on the same side at
top right. The shaded areas signify the numbers that remain true to the original square.
Resulting is this new set of co-ordinates (listed here in positive aspects numerical sequence
for ease):
1 = 64 2=7 3=6 4 = 61 5 = 60 6=3 7=2
8 = 57 9=9 10 = 50 11 = 51 12 = 12 13 = 13 14 = 54
15 = 55 16 = 16 17 = 24 18 = 47 19 = 46 20 = 21 21 = 20
22 = 43 23 = 42 24 = 17 25 = 36 26 = 26 27 = 27 28 = 33
29 = 37 30 = 30 31 = 31 32 = 40 33 = 32 34 = 39 35 = 35
36 = 29 37 = 28 38 = 38 39 = 34 40 = 25 41 = 41 42 = 18
43 = 19 44 = 44 45 = 48 46 = 22 47 = 23 48 = 45 49 = 56
50 = 15 51 = 11 52 = 53 53 = 52 54 = 14 55 = 10 56 = 49
57 = 1 58 = 58 59 = 59 60 = 4 61 = 5 62 = 62 63 = 63
64 = 8
186.
What is of significance for observation here is the amount of number co-ordinates
that remain the same after this re-sequencing. There are fifteen of these numbers that
account for 23% of the 64 and which mostly fit uniformly into a pattern. I like to call these
‘numerical polarities’ because they illustratively show a reflection of the main sequence
somehow, just as the ascendant sign is a reflection of the sun sign during character
analysis. Also, they indicate points where connections can scientifically be calculated
between the two sequences that suggest the extent of the effect that the ascendant actually
has on the sun sign.
The three polarity numbers that fall out of this mirror pattern are 41, 44 and 58.
Once added up these will give numbers which govern the afflictions of the ascendant
which in this case is:
(4 + 1) + (4 + 4) + (5 + 8) = (5) + (8) + (4) = 8
This results in the number, which governs the Square of Mercury, which is 8. The
most prominent negative traits of the Virgo rising sign in this report will be indicated in
the numerological negative attributes of the number 8, and the negative attributes of 5, 8
and 4 will reveal the lifetime stages of the effect on the sun sign in relation to natal chart
aspects. Whilst there is a universal determination of ascendant afflictions within certain
ascendant divining templates, it must be noted that there are factors that will allow the
information to deviate in each individual case. Both Gemini and Virgo are attributed to
Mercury, and these universal planetary afflictions will have a completely different bearing
on each particular sign and each particular natal aspects comparison. In addition, the
187.
universal planetary ascendant number will be added to the result of the person’s
ascendant birth date total which will cast further variants between individual cases. In
addition, if the interpreter is adept enough in astrology, the ascendant afflictions might be
noted to amplify any afflictions elsewhere on the natal chart thereby ‘tell-tale-ing’ which
planet/s could be directly responsible. Research into sun signs governed by that/those
planet/s could provide insights into how the individual might resolve those affliction
effects in their life.
In order to confirm, clarify and even further investigate the details of the report, we
will work out the ascendant number which is once again the birthdate re-coded from the
ascendant template. All double-digits are made into single digits as in this example where
the birth date is 02/18/1971 which becomes 07/11/1021.
Explaining in this instance, the month has been left the same as it adds up to a
master number, 11 and the first half of the year has been left at the result of 10 for aesthetic
comparison purposes. In this square, there is no 71, so original 7 which is now 2 has been
added separately and then the final result of 64 (corresponding to 1), which is 1 after being
reduced from 10. At the end of this chapter is a fully simplified step-by-step guide as a
reminder of how to do each of these processes.
We now need to add up the ascendant ‘birth date’ in order to divine the planetary
ascendant number for the person:
0 + 7 + 11 + 1 + 0 + 2 + 1 = 22
188.
This person’s ascendant bears particular affect on the sun sign as it is attributed to a
master number. There will be traits of the ascendant sign that are more prominent in
some cases than the sun sign (unless the sun sign result is equally a master number which
is the same or higher). Adding the new birth date result to the affliction result of the
ascendant template for Mercury, we get:
22 + 8 = 3
The negative traits of number 3 will define this person’s ascendant afflictions
numerologically.
Now let’s look at an example of a person’s first name calculated on a negative
aspects chart for the planet governing their sun sign. We are going to take the name
DEBORAH who is a Sagittarius, and so we will be using the Square of Jupiter and it’s
negative aspects divining template:
Square of Jupiter
4 14 15 1
9 7 6 12
5 11 10 8
16 2 3 13
189.
Square of Jupiter (-) Template
13 9 5 1
14 10 6 2
15 11 7 3
16 12 8 4
The negative aspects template is always arranged down the columns and from left
to right. The result is this new set of correspondences:
1=1 5 = 15 9 = 14 13 = 4
2 = 12 6=6 10 = 7 14 = 9
3=8 7 = 10 11 = 11 15 = 5
4 = 13 8=3 12 = 2 16 = 16
Applying the Pythagorean letter: number system, we do an equation to find the
numerical value of the name DEBORAH which is:
D+E+B+O+R+A+H
4+5+2+6+9+1+8=8
We now see that the planetary number of Deborah in the negative aspects of Saturn
is 8, but we can now also discover the planetary name of Deborah in the negative aspects of
Saturn. If we take the numbers used in the previous equation and relate them to the
negative aspects square and correspond them with the original square, we get 16, 14, 9, 7,
190.
15, 4 and 2. We add all double-digits separately and make a resulting chain of single
digits which gives us:
D+E+B+O+R+A+H
7+5+9+7+6+4+2
The Pythagorean spelling of Deborah now becomes:
GEIPFDB
Initially, this looks like scrambled eggs to the discerning eye and is practically
unpronounceable. We will take a look at how to remedy this in a moment, but first an
explanation as to how this result must be derived.
In the Pythagorean system, each letter has three numerical values (with exception
of the number 9 which accounts for only 2 letters). For example, number 1 is assigned to
the letters A, J and S. Number 2 is assigned to the letters B, K and T and so on and so
forth. Because this word will also be prepped for sigil construction or mantric sigil use in
the Spare tradition, one of any two or more repeating letters which initially show up in a
word or ‘sentence of desire’ are discarded and the same sort of jumble as shown above is
the result. So, in the instance of this name construction, the three letters assigned to the
applicable numbers have been used in succession. For example, number 7 attributes the
letters G, P and Y and as there are two number 7’s in the equation, the letters G and P have
been used. These are the two first successive letters assigned to 7 throughout Pythagoras’
191.
numerical alphabet. If there is a greater amount than all three of the same number in the
equation, then the three letters are used in succession and the rest of the repeated numbers
are discarded.
Looking back now at our result, we will make some better sense of these letters for
practical purposes as per writings of Frater. U:. D:. who instructs that random vowels are
to be added in order for the word to be pronounceable. It does not matter now whether
these vowels are repetitious because the essential information encased within the previous
result has already been encapsulated.
For mantric sigil uses, the word may look something like this after adding vowels:
GIBAPODEF
or
FEDOPAGIB
If you wish to construct a traditional pictorial sigil, then you can keep the original
result being G; E; I; P; F; D; B.
(Suggestions for the best works written on this particular subject can be found in the
Recommended Reading Section).
This word/name can also be used to construct a simple line sigil (as in the previous
example with the name ALEX) for use over any imaginable square. What is now also
possible is for us to divine the nature of the name DEBORAH in the negative aspects of
Saturn (which is now GIBAPODEF or FEDOPAGIB etc.) using the numerology definitions
for single letters. Without the added vowels for mantric use, we take the original letters
on their own and then list them with a negative aspect of each letter applicably:
192.
G - Disregarding
E - Unreliable
I - Angry
P - Self-Absorbed
F - Melancholic
D - Stubborn
B - Boastful
You could then begin a character analysis (like with the earlier ‘Tree Construction
Exercise’ example) for the name which was originally DEBORAH in the negative aspects of
Saturn.
The first general benefit of all of this is that these sigil co-ordinates can be used to
make allocators for any reason possible in order to be placed over any numbered system
to determine the ‘cryptic’ map within them.
Words (not only people’s names) describing or derived from anything imaginable
can be used to find out the numerical meanings of them or/and sigils can be constructed
for further practical uses. The options and possibilities are as limited as the borders of
your imagination. Whatever the case, and to my own experience, working this way with
the hidden numerical power of the planets added to the subject being enquired after has
revealed a whole new dimension of existence awaiting yet further discovery.
Perhaps a sufficient example of other interesting ways of creating sigils from things
other than planetary squares is to adopt the principle on any other similar platform. For
example, let’s look again at the Tattva table discussed in the chapter about non-
193.
numerically based oracular systems. Removing the columns of elemental crossovers,
there remains a Tattva Square (noting that this is not a traditional square - the number of
rows and columns are not equal and neither are the line totals):
There are a number of options available for you to explore here now. You could for
instance decide that you would like to create a sigil of each number separately which
would thereby capture the essence of every Tattva elemental combination in that number.
Let’s say we wish to sigilize number 9 on the square, then this is what we get:
194.
Please note: Traditionally a line sigil will show an indication of where it starts and where it
ends. A dot in this case (usually a circle) indicates the beginning and a crossing line
indicates the end. In this case it also indicates the sequence the number is being sigilized
on this square which is the same way as co-ordinate sequencing i.e. upwards from left to
right)
Assuming this Tattva square is the same block dimensions as all other templates
and squares (2 x 2 cm), this sigil which is traced on transparent sheets or card can then be
used instead of an Allocator on any sort of template or square. But let’s first look at the
information hidden in these sigil co-ordinates:
Element
Element/
Alone on 1. Earth 2. Air 3. Fire 4. Water 5. Spirit
Root
Background
1. Prithivi 2 3 4 5 6 7
2. Vayu 4 5 6 7 8 9
3. Apas 6 7 8 9 1 11
4. Tejas 8 9 1 11 3 4
5. Akasa 1 11 3 4 5 6
It is easy to see the number 9 positions but still perhaps a little confusing to
ascertain the elemental correspondences at a glance. Here are the Tattvas arranged
precisely as the the calculations in the above chart:
195.
Relaying these images back to the chart, we can see that the first 9 is Earth of Water,
the second 9 is Fire of Fire and the final 9 is Spirit of Air. The final co-ordinate inspires me
to make the map over the Mercury Square (you may decide that there is another element
that calls to you in this meditation and therefore choose a planetary Square which
corresponds to that).
Let’s look at a detailed example of what is found when applying this sigil to the
Square of Mercury. Firstly, the amount of like numbers captured by the sigil are added
together, in the case of this sigil, there are three:
9 + 9 + 9 = 27 = 9
Because the Mercury Square is large enough to contain the full number of 27, it is
that co-ordinate which will act as the sigil allocator guide (in smaller square cases this is
added together for a smaller result). In this case, however, we are not going to determine
196.
the position of the sigil based on top left or right allocator corners. This has been
determined by the classical way as to how a sigil is traced over a square and in order to
keep that system compatible as accurately as possible with this one. Also, we do not use
dice for the sigil process. As 9 is our total (which is obviously higher than 5) this would
have been the top right corner of a planetary allocator, but in this application it will signify
top or bottom (beginning or end). For sigil allocators, 5 or higher means top and lower
than 5 means bottom.
So, this means that we will place the Tattva Nines Sigil over the Square of Mercury
with the sigil end on 27 like this, which shows the continuing sigil on the opposite side of
the square:
Our co-ordinates (reading again upwards and from left to right) are:
Equation A:
(1 + 7) + (2 + 7) + (5 + 0) = (8) + (9) + (5) = 22

197.
When there is no subtotal and only a final total because of it being a master number,
the overall conclusion will be based on the master number instead of a combination as in
previous examples.
First of all though, we need to decide whether this is the actual code we want to use
(directly from the main Square) or whether we want to re-code it over another square or
divination template. If we begin with co-ordinates on the actual main Planetary Square
and then transfer it to another square or template, we will have to fetch the co-ordinate
numbers back to our main square and re-code it again for the final equation (A or B).
Assuming that we will re-code onto, say, the Saturn Square and then finalize that
code back on the main planetary square once more, this would be the process:
- As the Saturn Square has only single digits, reduce the result of Equation A from 22 to 2.
- Place the starting point of the sigil over number 8 on the Saturn Square:
Please Note: As the three points of the 9 sigil i.e. start, middle junction and end are the only three
points that are significant in the tradition of classical line sigil construction. Any numbers crossed
over by the co-joining arms of the sigil do not count and are not included in the equation.
198.
- In this example, it is now determined that 8, 9 and 7 are the Saturn Square co-ordinates.
Re-code these co-ordinates by comparison on the Square of Mercury. In order to do this,
you will need to determine precisely which is the part of the Mercury Square (which is
considerably larger) that the Saturn Square will fall on. This is the number that the sigil
starts on during the re-code - in this case on the Square of Saturn, which is the number 8:
8 58 59 5 4 62 63 1
49 15 14 52 53 11 10 56
41 23 22 44 48 19 18 45
32 34 38 29 25 35 39 28
40 26 27 37 36 30 31 33
17 47 46 20 21 43 42 24
9 55 51 12 13 54 50 16
64 2 3 61 60 6 7 57
The final co-ordinates are now determined to be 41, 58 and 14. Because there has
been a second re-coding involved in this process, the co-ordinates which were found on
the Saturn (+) template which were 8, 9 and 7 will now also need to be added to the full
equation, but will be tallied together as one number within it:
Equation B:
(8 + 9 + 7) + (4 + 1) + (5 + 8) + (1 + 4) = (6) + (5) + (4) + (5) = 20 = 2
Equation C in this case will be based on the total of Equation A and the subtotal of
Equation B:
199.
Equation C:
(22) + (2+0) = (22) + (2) = 24 = 6
Number 6 is now found on the Saturn Template that we used for the first sigil co-
ordinate transfer and then that co-ordinate is found in the same position on the Mercury
Square based on where the previous co-ordinates were determined to be found. Here
shows the example of this transfer calibration:
Square of Saturn
Square of Mercury
8 58 59 5 4 62 63 1
49 15 14 52 53 11 10 56
41 23 22 44 48 19 18 45
32 34 38 29 25 35 39 28
40 26 27 37 36 30 31 33
17 47 46 20 21 43 42 24
9 55 51 12 13 54 50 16
64 2 3 61 60 6 7 57
200.
In this instance, the reports will be written as a meditation of insights regarding
these findings as they do not relate to a person but an esoteric reflection. By this design,
those who are not adept at traditional Tattva meditations and visualizations may still learn
to benefit from them in this manner. For Equation A’s sequence (8, 9, 5) I have chosen
Lenormand (also attributing 9 of Diamonds), Zodiac and I Ching:
Coffin (9 of Diamonds) - Sagittarius - Hsiao Ch'u
• Coffin - Endings and mourning (9 of Diamonds - Longing for the past)
• Sagittarius - Adventurous, optimistic, restless, irresponsible
• Hsiao Ch'u - Small changes add up to big changes
A brief passage here will give a sufficient example of the style of writing and
reflection these particular meditations should take for the best results. I often read them
back and feel as if some sort of Shaman has given me advice:
Equation A Interpretation:
In the spirit of the air I see my thoughts and I recognize the changes that are made through
them in the world around me. I have now come face to face with the power of these thoughts and
the elements contained within them. Like the wisps of butterfly wings that catch the essence of fire,
my thoughts are free and optimistic, or careless and irresponsible, needing direction and control in
the expanse of their home which has no borders, or boundaries, or limits...
201.
If my thoughts become like fire, one small spark may ignite a forest to raging furnaces, just
as the butterfly wing can cause the smallest changes in the air which build to become hurricanes on
the opposite side of the world. So are my thoughts when they are not pure or controlled in the
presence of the other elements. I have seen that longing for the past is a furnace that conflagrates
the present and therefore burns the holes of regret into my future. I have seen that the recognition
of limits or the recognition of no limits within my mind is what decides the limits and the lack of
limits in my mind....
This might sound like a heap of overindulgent philosophical diarrhea to an
onlooker who might very bluntly tell you that you are crazy and that they have no idea
what you are going on about. And that’s fine. This is for you, or for people who
appreciate this and seek to know more about life and the universe. This is precisely the
sort of meditation of thought that has brought me to a very deep place of acceptance and
understanding of my existence, and all that matters is that you understand your own
mind and heart. For the benefits of this system, however, I am more and more grateful
each day as I witness influences and parallels that I am able to accept and appreciate as
truth far more because of the challenge of how I have had to discover them.
Such a report can really show you the light and true comfort in times of
despair and loss. When you feel that your life has taken a turn for the worse and you feel
that your dreams have been betrayed and lost, such a reminder of how you once saw life
and contemplated the possibilities of what you could be becomes real guidance for how to
continue on the once abandoned road.
202.
The simple act of grasping at ideas in order to link the elements of these mantic
systems together in order to make sense of the message that the universe intends to relay
is, in my opinion, one of the greatest forms of creativity. I have found so many insights
and prophecies of where my life is leading through this very exercise. And it is my
sincerest wish that you too will come to know the wonder of it.
It took me a long time to work up the patience to discover the answers I was
looking for, especially in the times when I was the most afraid or confused. It may sound
like the ultimate paradox, but through the control that I could exert through this system of
digging for answers, I learned ultimately to let go of the need for control that was making
me blind to them, and the rewards I receive each time have more than taught me the real
pricelessness of patience.
Sigils used in this way and through your creativity applied to this system can mean
that you are able to experience their benefits without Gnosis. By the design of the Tattva
Nines Sigil, I was able to come to a deep contemplation that caused me to consider and see
things that I would not have done if I had not ventured into this territory. What I have
learned will always be deeply engraved in my subconscious and continue to do it’s
beneficial bidding. It has brought me answers and guidance and, upon that, my thoughts
will build ideas and more questions that will lead me to discovering yet even more.
If you apply a sigil which contains the essence of your choice to this system and you
consider the influences of the planets and oracles you have chosen to divine it through,
your life can open up to dimensions that have always really been there for you to
experience the miracles of, yet which you may not have already been aware. Perhaps you
will even discover a new way of working in this manner, but the greatest intention that I
have remains to be to provide new ways in which to discover new ways.

N.B. There is no Twos sigil as the number appears only once on the square. The Earth Sun
Signs should naturally be attributed to this Tattva (following suite of all the other Sun Sign
attributions to single-element Tattvas), however, as there is no sigil for it they have been
attributed to the next most appropriate Tattva which is Earth of Earth.

CHAPTER ELEVEN
PRACTICAL CROSSWORD DIVINATION
Personally, I feel that the ‘unsuspecting’ crossword puzzle awaiting us on the coffee
table during that five minute breather has a lot more to answer for than we give it credit
for. I don’t approach this mainly from the aspects of the belief that so-called ‘randomness
‘ has it’s place in the hall of fame for pre-destination, but because of a far more regular
personal experience that I have had with it, and also many people that I’ve known. I
approach this from an angle of synchronicity. There has always been a great deal of latent
E.S.P. running through my family which I am naturally accustomed to, but that could
perhaps be attributed to the high volume of air signs within it. Whatever the case, I have
regular ‘paranormal’ experiences with the beloved crossword puzzle nearly every single
time I pick one up. Have you ever had the experience (or heard people talking about it) of
thinking about someone or something that you haven’t seen in a long time and then you
either run into them whilst out shopping, or you receive a phone-call from them? How
many times have you woken up in the morning with the very first through being a
particular song playing in your mind, only to hear the song come on the radio - when the
alarm goes off a few moments after you have awoken?
John Holland describes these seemingly magical occurrences as the intuition
attempting to make itself heard and trying to grab our attention towards ‘coincidences’
and synchronicities that have something deeper to reveal to us. This got me thinking
about whether the actual signs themselves have a message, or whether their occurrence is
actually signaling us to pay attention to information coming from somewhere else.
210.
I notice that practically every time I am penning answers into the empty blocks of a
crossword, at some point during that session, I will hear the word (often not any old
mundane one) I am looking for randomly spoken by someone in the room or on the
television, and especially just as I have realized the answer and am half-way through
filling it in. This works the other way around too of course, when I have been thinking
about something and someone asks me about a clue and it turns out to be the very thing I
was thinking about - usually completely randomly. Thankfully (and you wouldn’t think it
by the previous chapter!) I don’t do Sudoku or else I could stand to speak like a computer!
Not of course negating the fact that a completed Sudoku puzzle could be used -
especially in relation to planetary squares, they are the popular pastime in such a
tradition, but my experience in this case is with crosswords and so I devised a simple but
also very insightful system to investigate if this ‘supernatural’ experience had any real
meaning for me.
This example assumes that you have a completed crossword (or at least, clue) in
front of you as there is a word or words that have called out to you somehow, persistently
and in various and curious ways . For now though, let’s take a look at this new and
uncompleted crossword puzzle:
211.
This is a 15 row by 15 column square with the complimentary characteristics of the
blocked out crossword sections. We are now going to make our own puzzle square
exactly the same way, but omitting the crossword clue numbers. After we have designed
the square, it is filled with numbers in sequence from top left to top right and then the
same in the row beneath it until the square is full. Note: Blacked out sections are skipped
and the next successive number is added in the next available blank space. Here’s the
completed square based on this example:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
15 16 17 18 19 20 21
22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35
36 37 38 39 40 41 42
43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54
55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65
66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73
74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85
86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93
94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104
105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116
117 118 119 120 121 122 123
124 125 126 127 128 129 130 131 132 133 134 135 136 137
138 139 140 141 142 143 144
145 146 147 148 149 150 151 152 153 154 155 156 157 158
212.
Assuming that the 12 down answer of the original puzzle is the word in question
that we wish to divine or look into a bit more, we then take all of the numbers
corresponding to the chosen word and list them. In this case, number 12 down would be :
51
59
72
80
89
101
110
120
131
141
152
Method One
First of all, adding all double or triple-digit entries up to a single number (excluding
master numbers) in each case, we have a new list i.e.
6 + 5 + 9 + 8 + 8 + 2 + 11 + 3 + 5 + 6 + 8 = 8
The numerology message will be found under interpretations of the number 8 and,
if this number puzzle that you make is to divine negative aspects or possible warning, you
213.
can fill the numbers in down the rows from left to right, just like you did with the negative
aspect planetary templates. Whether you end up with the same answer or a different one,
it will be the negative aspects that you will look for in this case that correspond to the
applicable number.
It is neither uncommon nor surprising when there is a higher path number
somewhere in the equation. What is even more thrilling, as is the case with this example,
is when you take the result and add it to the number of the crossword clue:
(8) + (1 + 2) = (8) + (3) = 11
A master number as the overall result is sure to mean something very important or
special. Don’t feel that this is a waste of time or that you have done something incorrectly
if this is not the case. It doesn’t mean that the message isn’t pertinent. It just means that
the appearance of a master number holds special significance.
If the final result happens to be the same as the result before adding the clue
number, the message is indeed amplified. You may then, if you wish, add those two
numbers together and obtain further insight by way of the new number, the same as
clarifying a card in a spread.
In all cases, research the meanings of those numbers. Find out the correspondences
for that number and it’s associations with colors, objects, seasons, body parts, chakras etc.
Does this word, or any word in the number meaning relate, perhaps remind you of an
event? Hidden messages often require some digging! The chances are that if your
intuition is asking you to investigate, it will switch the light on for you when you at least
near the clues and you will know by the same means what the message is that is trying to
214.
reveal itself. Meditating on these clues can prove to be very nourishing for the mind as
well.
Method Two
You can actually do this in addition to the first method and compare your findings
with this one or you can do this method (which is potentially more complicated than the
first method) on its own. In order to conduct this exercise you will need to have a basic
knowledge of the I Ching Hexagrams, The Tarot cards and The Rune stones, but if you
only have access to one, you can still benefit by the correspondences made between them
in other chapters.
Two sets of formulas will occur here. The first will be in order to retrieve the
number of the crossword answer and the second will be to re-evaluate the numbers to
make them more oracle friendly due to the higher number of parts in the oracular systems
we are going to use.
Once you have done exactly the same equations as previously, you will need to list
the original clue numbers again. Again you will go through the numbers but you will
leave any double-digits as they are, and in the case of triple-digits, you will add them up
to derive more double-digits. This gives the opportunity for there to be a mix of single,
and double-digits in the list. If, however, you find that most of the clue contains double
and triple-digits as is in the previous example, you can derive single digits from the
double-digits and double-digits from the triple-digits. In the case of triple-digits, simply
keep the first digit and add the last two together to accompany it e.g: 141 = (1) (4 + 1) = 5
= 15. Again, do not feel that you are circumstantially bending rules to satisfy quick needs
215.
here. Mathematics has great applications in the powers of addition, not least by how it
can reduce numbers without ever having to minus them. Perhaps see it as showing you
how creatively it can solve problems.
If there is more than one of any master or single number (make note of them as
there will invariably be a message of Karma prominent in the discovery, especially in the
case of number 11) and just remove any additions in the list. In our example we have two
8’s and two 11’s. The message is sure to be intense!
Here is the list of our numbers after these additions:
6; 5; 9 ;8; 11; 12; 14; 15; 17
Because there are correspondences that link these systems, any system
would especially be desirable for this investigation if they meet the 17 capacity. The
Lenormand deck would be very effective in this reading as a rule because of the 36 cards
and, unless you are doing a crossword that covers the whole one side of your house - it is
doubtful that you would end up with numbers higher than that. Go to your deck and
remove all these numbered trumps and lay them in a line before you in this sequence. In
this way, the crossword has done the pre-determined shuffling for you.
You would then begin to read the spread from outer to inner in pairs or threes
(depending on the amount of numbers in the line-up. In this case it would be read in
threes:
6-17-5; 15-9-14; 8-12-11
216.
If the central area is a single card i.e. there were an odd amount of numbers in the
line-up, this card is amplified and considered to hold an answer or solution to any
problems in all the other individual cards - and especially so if a master number as in this
example.
Outermost pairs/threes concern wider influences of the subject and what effect it
has on the physical world. Middle pairs are how these outer elements are being processed
mentally or on the intellectual level and the central pairs are what is meant to be
gained/learned and how it can effect or be worked with on the spiritual levels. For a
more organized view of this structure, the pairs have been categorized in this table to
show the best order of layout:
Line -Up Spread Gains/Lessons/ Development and

Spiritual Guidance Expansion of the
Inner Top 8-12-11 subject
Mental/Intellectual Synthesis or
Middle Centre Processes narrowing of the
15-9-14 subject for integration
Physical
Width or Extent of
Outer Bottom World/Influences
the subject
6-17-5
Have a pen and paper handy to make notes as you tell a story. Compare all of these
readings with each other and see what you can find. For further clarification and
confirmation after your own instinctual interpretation, you can now add all of the numbers
in the last equation together:
6 + 5 + 9 + 8 + 11 + 3 + 5 + 6 + 8 = 61 = 7
217.
Add this result to the total of your crossword clue number:
(7) + (1 + 2) = (7) + (3) = 10 = 1
Numbers 7 is the oracle number that clarifies the source of the issue/question in
relation to the previous reading. Number 3 is the oracle number that shows potential
alternatives/directions of the matter in relation to the previous reading. Number 1 is the
oracle number that governs this reading as a clarifier and ultimately confirms it or casts
out any prior doubts.
Many people would no doubt find humor in the desire to approach a crossword
clue this way, but this is not only a means to get to the bottom of nagging synchronicities.
These methods can be fun ways to meditate once you are comfortable with the processes.
They will also increase your knowledge of practical divination and the way in which you
look at the world. From these basic structures, you may take multiple crossword clues
and join them together for larger and more comprehensive readings.
Of course, there will be the occasion where you will be dealing with a four-letter or
less words and there will clearly be no opportunity to use the full suggested layout as
above which had nine cards. That’s okay - there will still be something very useful in
there for you.
218.
A Pertinent Example
I’d like to share an example reading in this instance of something very pertinent that
happened during the time I was writing this book. I had just finished writing about the
devil, burning in hell for shuffling a Tarot deck, ignorance and mis-education being evil
and the troubles caused by the diversity of religious conflicting beliefs. I decided to take a
break, have a snack, some coffee and watch a little television whilst scribbling in my
favourite 5 minute arrow-words book. The first down clue of the new puzzle was ‘Hades’.
Well, it’s not rocket-science, so I penned in the word ‘Hell’ and almost immediately began
to chuckle. Not that I was surprised, just in awe as always.
Very eager and intense to find the meaning (face it, the synchronicities of it all
couldn't really get more blatant than that could they?) I forgot about filling in the rest of
the clues and set about to filling the numbers in from left to right across the puzzle. After
equation, I was left with 2, 8, 7, 7 and the subtotal/total of 24/6. I chose Tarot 2, I Ching 8,
Rune 7 and Lenormand 7:
The High Priestess - Pi - Gebo - Snake (incl. Queen of Spades)
• The High Priestess - Intuition and secrets
• Pi - The need for unity to accomplish positive change
• Gebo - Sacrifice and dissolution of barriers through gifting
• Snake - Rivalry and difficulties (Queen of Spades - A widow)
219.
My interpretation of this is obviously very personal because I found the elements
within it that spoke out and made perfect sense to my intuition.
The High Priestess appearing first of all gave me the indication that this message
was indeed pertinent because the clue that lead me here related to something in this book
which is all about secrets, the intuition and hidden meanings.
Pi, the ‘Unity’ Hexagram’s message totally confirmed my thoughts about scattered
energies being destructive to positive example, because what this said to me was that the
contrasts that differing religions have in light of each other when they claim to be founded
on the same representative (Jesus Christ) are undermining each other and continuing to
take away the power of example that their belief potentially has. I had indeed considered
thoughts whilst writing that section, about how emphasis on belief could undermine faith,
which is trust and knowing rather than trying to know through being told. I also
considered that ‘a need for unity to accomplish positive change’ was incredibly important as a
message to surface for me whilst I was writing work involving the unification of oracular
systems for a greater benefit.
During the process of research, I found incredibly pertinent work by a Russian
writer, Sergey Davydov, whom had compartmentalized the I Ching and corresponded it
very intricately with the Tarot, and who’s remarkable work was found to be very
beneficial to this book if not only for supporting the impulse that I had for desiring to
unite these systems. I contacted him to ask for permissions and was replied to by a very
kind woman who informed me that she was the widow (Queen of Spades) of Mr.
Davydov and that I may have permission to access and reference his work.
Gebo, ‘the dissolution of barriers through gifting’ rings out in two major senses. The
gift of permission unites this work with that work of Davydov and also, the processes in
220.
this book suggest a need for using the gifts of imagination and intuition in order to
eradicate barriers between the oracle systems and to bring out the one message through
them all.
The appearance of The Snake for me alluded immediately of the serpent in the Tree
of Knowledge from which Adam ad Eve ate fruit. Funnily enough, yes, I had indeed been
thinking of the Biblical lesson through which knowledge was the corruption of innocence
and how that contrasted with the views that ignorance and mis-education were
considered to be the real evils. I then considered what Baudelaire had stated about the
devil wanting the world to think that it does not exist and the rivalry and deception
element of that card rang true to me louder than ever before. Perhaps the devil made the
ultimate deception by ‘tempting’ Adam and Eve to partake of the fruit because anything
acquired through temptation by the moral school of thought is naturally evil. Perhaps, as
a result, their gaining of knowledge was treated as a sin and their banishment became the
ultimate cover-up of all time - the devil told them to do the right thing by making it look
like the wrong thing so that it would be believed in hindsight that innocence is not
ignorance. In the real world where, sadly, we are subject to some very evil acts and
dangers, innocence can be argued to be both a miracle as well as a luxury and danger. If
anything, my opinion that demonic forces are in existence is only strengthened by
divination which is considered to be of those forces yet which has made me think in real
depth about what the nature of deception truly is. Perhaps, the way in which doctrines are
interpreted is the problem and not the fundamental truths of what they contain. The best
way for an enemy to harm you is to make your friend appear to be your enemy also.
All of the elements in this line-up were particularly and specifically pertinent to me
and acted only to dissolve any of even the smallest nagging doubts that I had about
221.
sending this message out to the world. The most important thing about all of it was the
message that kept coming through to me - hidden knowledge and understanding is
something that must be pursued as it contains hidden truths which in their dormant state
allow the lies to breed by confusion and unawareness.
If this all hadn’t been what was speaking to my heart, it would have been when I
ventured to divine the numerological meanings of 24/6 which are ‘a deep sense of order
within’ and ‘gaining information from invisible forces’. The former statement was exactly
what happened to me here and the latter, well....all of this from a 5-minute arrow-word?
I’d ask you to decide whether that last statement rings true to you, because it certainly did
to me.
As pairs, The High Priestess and The Snake bring messages of listening to the
intuition being a real necessity because of how delicately and shrewdly the truth can be
made to look like deception. Divination can assist the intuition to discern the truth. Gebo
and Pi were practically born for each other - kindred souls in their messages of unity and
removing barriers, all for the highest good.
Adding the arrow-word clue number to the equation total:
6+1=7
(6) as clarification of the oracle message relates to The Lovers Tarot card - a direct
association with Adam and Eve and the discussion of choice through awareness and
unity.
(1) as the direction towards solutions and alternatives in the messages relates to The
Magician Tarot Card which relates directly to awareness, focused energy, visualization
222.
and divination - ‘focus your energy on visualizing the information that you are seeking to
find in order for that awareness to clarify your sight’. Again, the emphasis is on
maintaining truth and order.
(7) which is the governing oracle message that casts out any remaining doubt is The
Chariot Tarot card - the balancing of willpower and taking the reigns of control to unite
the yin and yang by recognizing the light in the dark and the dark in the light and
remaining illuminated in the challenge that paradoxical truth presents in order to discern
the best path towards your highest good.
My final meditation through all of this was that Hell really is what that snake did to
Adam and Eve. It is a place/concept/sufferance that is fraught with distraction and
camouflage, making the painful seem pleasurable and the beneficial look detrimental. It is
the accusation that is borne of not knowing what is possible and therefore the belief that
we are not capable. It is the belief that secrets are meant to be secrets and that learning
them is either sinful or shameful. It is the ultimate lie where the deceiver is the accuser of
the light in the world being the deceiver and that illumination is contrary to the design
and intention of creation. This is after all why Satan is called ‘the angel of light’. It was
most certainly the most appropriate and potent word to have grabbed my attention.
I’m certain that our friend P. T. Barnum would have had a field day with dissecting
the multitudinous counts what could be classed as his ‘effect’ here. The message that I
would like to send his memory is this: My truth is known to me, and yours is known to
you. Belief in this effect makes it truth. Yes, there is ‘something for everyone’, because we
are all one and because everything is everything. Where the devil is, is truly in the details,
223.
in that by ignoring or overlooking them, there is the opportunity for generalization to
occur.
It is the details of what you find which pertain to your particular life in very specific
ways that will speak to you. I believe that you will find the details that are calling you in
the same way that I have and they will show you what the universe is wanting to share
with you. I prefer to open my heart and my mind instead of my doubt and my shame...
224.
CHAPTER TWELVE
A FINAL NUMBER
There is a lot to be said for investigation. Funnily enough, and in a roundabout sort
of way, corporations often employ this sort of practice as a subliminal control in order to
procure more commercial success. A good example is when you go to your local or
regular supermarket, targeting that item you went there specifically to buy. You know
where it is, you know how to get there, you’ve done it a hundred times. But today, you
turn into the aisle and almost instinctively reach your hand out to retrieve the item off the
shelf and....there’s no shelf. It is now a counter. Or, if it is still a shelf, there are toys on it
instead of chocolate etc. And now, you will have to go and scout out that original item
you drove all the way to the supermarket for. But you realize that the toys you saw in the
item’s place are a bargain and that some smart early Christmas shopping might be a good
idea, or during your search for the item (with no-one around for you to ask) you see a
number of things you like and before you know it, you leave the supermarket with a
trolley full instead of one item.
Contrived or not, a runaround can be very additive in your life. It certainly helps
the supermarket’s cash register too, but the point is that (whether positive or negative)
you gain things that you were not expecting to gain. If this happens through too much
sugar we call it negative, but if this happens through not knowing what the future holds,
we call it either positive or negative depending on what was gained. How many people
would have loved to know that the ATM would be swallowing their debit card today or
225.
that if they did listen to their intuition and get that lottery ticket, the chances would have
been excellent for a win - even if a humble one?
Product advertisement is prediction in it’s most primal form. Actually, it is mojo in
it’s most potent form too. The company actually decides how successful this product is
going to be for them by how they follow rules and regulations as to what makes
something sell and which demographic audience will respond to it best. They see a vision
of what they want to occur and they go about creating the result. Mostly, they get exactly
what they wanted, because they followed a ‘golden mean’ formula - tried and tested for
best results. When it doesn’t work, what is the most frequent cause for blame?
Miscalculation.
‘Prediction’ has, in my view, suffered a very long and arduous exposure to the
belief that it is some magical ability to show what has not already occurred, and to carry
with it a sure-fire promise that what it shows will definitely occur. The truth is, we make
predictions every day, just like the weatherman. We calculate judgments and experiences
in our day-to-day life and apply them to forthcoming situations and see either what we
would like to occur or what we would not like to occur and by that very means, we set
about ensuring that the worst case scenario can be avoided.
So, when the belief exists that approaching an oracle in order to seek information is
dangerous or misguided, I believe that what that belief is actually saying to us is that we
are all dangerous and misguided because we are actually all oracles in our own lives.
You think this dress will make you look bloated at the party tonight so you select a
more ‘slimming’ one. You’ve predicted an outcome and acted on it before the event even
226.
had a chance to happen. Prediction is a choice, not a sin. If there is any transgression in
the act, I believe it could only be through failing to recognize the responsibility necessary
to ensure that, if you are administering the possible future to somebody, the person you
are informing is totally in comprehension that the future is something they have always,
and will always choose themselves - whether that be by making what they have faith will
happen to occur through that unbending belief or not. It is the element of how everyone
choosing their futures bears a direct influence on what we cannot change or control
(because we are all truly connected) that is both the stalls and the stage for Karmic theatre.
Perhaps it was not your choice for every single thing that happened in your future, but
sometimes we are called to become responsible for the choices that other people make -
and that only means that the future is always about choice. Sometimes it just isn’t your
own. This does not mean that you do not have the choice as to how to deal with it.
In my dictionary, there are more than a few words that have been re-defined. This
is not arrogance in my belief that I am special enough for the world to change for me. It is
because I believe that the world is too special not to change for itself. The treasures and
rewards that await us in the heart of things that we have damned as evil by lack of basic
awareness often also hold the potential to make us spiritually richer than we ever dared to
dream possible.
In my dictionary, the word ‘psychic’ means ‘homosapien’ In my dictionary, the word
‘investigation’ means ‘progress’. And in my dictionary, the word ‘prediction’ means ‘choice’.
This has been a book of ideas. Yes, there are processes that are more than that.
There are processes that are actually practical means by which to obtain results. However,
227.
because the future is so open to change, the only thing that is certain is that if we extend
the journey to the destination, whatever that may be, we can only take in more scenery
instead of less (another word change in my dictionary is ‘scenery’ which means ‘wisdom’).
If a ‘homosapien’ is to ‘choose’, then they must ‘progress’ in order to do so.
Perhaps this book will lead you to locations that you have not yet seen and you will
experience something that you may not yet have experienced throughout the same
journey you’ve taken all your life. Whatever awaits you at the end of this path, it is my
wish that your choice to follow it is a blessed one, and also that the scenery at your
destination will make you all the richer for the company of your calculator.

CHAPTER THIRTEEN
EXERCISES
These exercises are devised in order for you to experiment and also to give you
ideas for your own experiments. They should help you think in new ways and give you
some intermediate practice in order to find your way comfortably around this new
approach to divination. Do not feel too challenged if you become confused by the
instruction. Do as best as you can and always make a record of your results. After you
have completed these, you may feel like going back through the book and finding the
scant exercises throughout and approaching them with a more experienced effort. If you
read this before you attempt any previous exercises, I would still suggest that you do
those first as this can be an effective and orderly way to learn. As with anything though,
as you choose.
Exercise 1:
Do a Birth Name Numerology equation for your full name. Find the Tarot trump
which is assigned to your sun sign and use the three cycle numbers from the equation to
write a report for the past present and future of the card based on it’s traditional meanings
in conjunction with your own life.
Exercise 2:
Take your Tarot trump and find all of it’s universal correspondences. Write a short
essay about your life with your interpretation of what all the different oracle elements are
229.
trying to convey together. Write a second report based on the similarities and differences
between the oracular elements in your previous report.
Exercise 3:
Select three numbers on any Planetary Square of your choice. On the matching
Divining Templates, find those co-ordinates each on (+), (-) and (Ascendant). Select the
oracle elements for each interpretation and write your results down in each case.
Compare the three interpretations and write a paragraph on what the hidden message is
based on the differences and similarities.
Exercise 4:
Apply the above exercise, yet this time, take into account the planetary aspects and
make notes about how they change or enhance the readings.
Exercise5:
Take three or four words from a crossword that you have done which form a
description or short statement once strung together in a sentence. Add all of the co-
ordinates that you have filled in up and then add them to the total Pythagorean sum of all
the letters of all the words. Using the subtotal (if there is one) and total of the equation,
write an interpretation based on the numerology meanings of the numbers. Now retrieve
your chosen oracle elements based on the cycle numbers (the numbers leading up to the
subtotal) and interpret them. Compare the two interpretations and make notes of the
similarities and differences between the two reports.
230.
Exercise 6:
Take two Tattva Sigils of your choice. Use them to to find co-ordinates on the same
Square or Divining Template. Do the equations in each case and write a short report on
the differences between the results taking the planetary aspects into account.
Exercise 7:
Take a crossword answer that has called to you and apply the co-ordinates of the
puzzle to a Planetary Square that calls to you. Do the equations and write a report on
what message is trying to come across to you based on the planetary aspects.
Exercise 8:
Find the Rune that corresponds with the Tree of Life Path that corresponds to the I
Ching Hexagram that corresponds with The Page of Swords.
Exercise 9:
Find the Sun Sign that corresponds with Lenormand’s Tree card and choose a
Planetary Square of which the planet aspects most closely reflect. Now choose the planet
that actually governs the Sun Sign and write a paragraph comparing your results with the
traditionally assigned planet and the planet you have chosen (if different)
Exercise 10:
Do a Birth Name Numerology equation for anyone you wish and then also one for
yourself. Add the results together and conduct a Planetary Cryptography reading based
231.
on whichever planet corresponds with the aspect of the relationship you are enquiring
about. Write a report and predictions based on what you find.
Exercise 11:
Obtain a notebook that will become your personal dictionary or compendium of
meanings. Inside it, write the keyword for number 1 from the Table of Universal Oracular
Correspondences and then a sentence for each universal meaning explaining why each
meaning associates with that keyword. Do this for all the rest of the number keywords
and meanings as well.
Exercise 12:
In your compendium, compare the Tarot trumps with their Universal Keywords
and write a short paragraph in each case about insights that this brings you. Record, most
importantly, any situations or experiences in your own life or the lives of others whom
you know that you are reminded of in the process.

15 25
impossible without the guardian
of moderation.
Do we claim evil as evil because

it challenges our resolve? Do we
16 26
become it by our resentment of
it?
The day the ego is destroyed is

17 27 the happiest day of life, like the
prisoner freed from the cell.
Learn to protect what you create

18 28 by balancing compassion with
authority.
Sometimes a distraction is a
19 29 guiding light which leads you
towards true harm.
Sometimes light is joy, sometimes

20 30 it is severity. How are you
looking into it?
Remember that the leap of faith is

coupled by the challenge of the
21 31
knowledge it will bring. Judge
wisely.
Without faith, the world is a coin.

22 32
With faith, the world is a palace.
