understood. No mere perusal will serve. This paper must be studied line by line, and even to a
great extent committed to memory. And that memory should already be furnished with a
thorough knowledge of the chief correspondences of 777. It is hard to  suffer gladly the
particular type of fool who expects with a twenty-third-rate idle brain to assimilate in an hour
the knowledge that it has cost me twelve years to acquire. I may add that nobody will ever
understand this method of knowledge without himself undertaking research. Once he has
experienced the joy of connecting (say) 131 and 480 through 15, he will understand. Further, it
is the work itself, not merely the results, that is of service. We teach Greek and Latin, though
nobody speaks either language.
And thus I close: Benedictus sit Dominus Deus Noster qui nobis dedit Scientiam Summam.78

LIBER LVIII
We may now return to Frater P. s experiences. It will be remembered that he found
Yoga practices of any kind very difficult in the cold climate of his home; for he was
now sufficiently advanced to need long spells of continuous concentration very
difficult from the early days of practice when twenty minutes in the morning and again
in the evening sufficed for the day.
Further, he had entered on the third stage of life, and from a Brahmachari become a
householder. It was in the course of the journey undertaken by him shortly after his
marriage that occurred the events which we shall proceed to relate.
And to that end we must ask the reader to accompany us in imagination to the
sovereign nursery of wisdom and initiation, to the holy land of the Uraeus serpent, to
the land of Isis and Osris, of the Pyramids and the Nile, even to Khem, more
magnificent in ruin than all other lands are in plenitude of their glory.

[Editor s note: This article on the Qabalah was originally published in Equinox I (5) as part V of
the Temple of Solomon the King serial. Essentially it was a filler, written after J.F.C. Fuller who
had been doing the legwork of working up the series from Crowley s diaries and notebooks
broke with the Beast. In Equinox I (10) it was declared to be Liber LVIII in Class B (since 58 =
 }j Grace, a secret title of the Qabalah. )
It was reprinted by Israel Regardie in The Qabalah of Aleister Crowley (a.k.a. 777 and other
Qabalistic Writings) under the misleading title  Gematria , omitting the opening and closing
sections (which were intended to link it in to the serial) and the tables of correspondences
(redundant as in that publication it was bound up with 777). It has also been printed as a
pamphlet under the title  Essay on Number.
Hebrew words have generally been rendered in Hebrew letters; in the Equinox publication they
were generally, but not consistently, given in letter-for-letter transliteration, e.g. BRAShITh for
tycarb.
Footnotes indicated by *, , etc. appeared in the Equinox publication and are presumably by
Crowley (hence I have initialled them  A.C. ); footnotes indicated by numbers are by myself.
Key entry from the printed edition in the Equinox; could probably use further proof-reading
