Synchronumerics: A New Way Of Interpreting Numbers

This thread is a long overdue explanation and exploration of a personal divination system I have been fleshing out. Apollogies for the delay.

Long before I had ever heard of the 23 phenomenon, my teacher imprinted the number 17 in my head. Whenever he would refer to what we call the “Illiminatti”, he would call them the 17 or the “17 Old Sorcerers who rule the planet”. I had asked him “who they were” or if he had seen them, he would reply “several times” but left it to me to figure out.

Later, I came across a reference about Osiris, and his number was 17. This then put me on the path of the “Age of Osiris” et al. The Invisibles introduced me to the 23 enigma, especially with the switch from Key 17 to Key 23.Later still, the Illuminatus trilogy brought both numbers more into view.

Tarot workings then expanded this idea: Who are the 17? The Age(nts) of Osiris?

Using the “Kabbalistic Gateways” (in which pairs of numbers create 231 gates) I got the following:

1: Magician and Tower: This to me spoke of the Media and the magical guidance it has on society

2: High Priestess and The Devil: One of my favorite pairings ever. The Devil is the High Priestess. Look at the path through the abyss…HP to Devil to Universe. Nuff said?

3: Empress and Temperence: Still unsure on this one…sort of a silent knowledge.

4: Emperor and Death

5: Heirophant and Hanged Man: This is THE CHURCH/ RELIGION. What a pairing.

6:Lovers and Justice: Law Enforcement

7:Chariot and Wheel: The Automotive Industry

8:Strength and Hermit: The Hidden Hand

9: Star and Fool…

On the surface, that sounds like the Illuminatti to me. If you meditate in this idea, the knowledge will come to you.

When I was introduced to the 23 enigma and the Aeon of Horus (which is 23 as well),it waas @the time of the Diana tragedy. This is the 23 pairings:

1: Star and Lovers 17+6

2.Tower and Chariort 16+7

3evil and Strength 15+8
4: Temperence and Hermit 14+9

5: Death and Wheel 13+10

6 Justice and Hanged Man 12+11

7 Emperor and Sun 4+19

8: Heirophant and Moon: 18+5

9:Empress and Judgement 3+20

10 High Priestess and World 2+21

17 synchronicities pop up as frequent as 23. For example: Castaneda’s groups are 17 sorcerors. There were 17 rings given to the groups in Lord of The Rings (plus the 18th ring to rule them all) etc.

Run out of time here at the internet café…be back with more. Let me know what ya think!

"There were 17 rings given to the groups in Lord of The Rings (plus the 18th ring to rule them all) etc."

Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne

3 + 7 + 9 == 19

19 != 17

rex, I'm interested in what method you used to generate the Atu pairings. Would you explain, please?

Regarding your pairing of The Devil and The High Priestess: I suggest that it is a bit of a simplification to say that the Devil = The High Priestess (and I'm sure you're aware that it's a simplification, but for the sake of the Forum...).

As I see it, the High Priestess is the Form of Idea. She is like Isis/Gaia in the sense of creation, but more removed from the material plane (think Nuit; ascending she is the path into the supernals, crossing the Abyss back to the source). Descending the Tree, she provides the template through which energy is cast into matter. As such she is feminine and passive. Her material manifestation in the Atu (below the Abyss) is perhaps the card Lust (Babalon).

The Devil is masculine and active, the counterpart to the High Priestess below the Abyss. This card is rooted more deeply in the material plane, connecting Tiphareth to Yesod. Hence the relation of The Devil to Pan (Pangenitor, Panphage) - this is the energy of matter at play, the fire of creation driving the manifestation of Nature. It is the resultant of the formative influence of the High Priestess on the formless energies of Kether. (Note that this is a lesser reflection of the interplay between Chokma and Binah to create the world below the Abyss.)

As you noted, the path of High Priestess > The Devil > The Universe (The Middle Pillar) is the path of Kether > Tiphareth > Malkuth and, as such, is a description of Universal Creation from the formlessness of the Unmanifest. Kether is merely the first intent towards the manifest, with Malkuth the final accretion of that intent into the phenomenal world of the senses. I imagine The Devil as the dance of Nature, driven by Agape (Tiphareth) towards the sexuality of Yesod to continue the manifestation of Malkuth.

Erm, just realized that this is pretty tangential to your thread but...such is the wondorus flow of Barb!

First:

I apologize about the "Lord if the Rings" comparison. It was my undertanding 3 went to the Elves, 5 to the Dwarves and 9 to man. It has been a while since I read the book, and with the current fad, I have steered clear of the books.

Second:

The system used (pardon me, I can't remember the exact name of it...) consists of the pairing of hebrew alphabet. (ie: 22 x 22) This brings about 231 letters or "gates". Using "17" or "23" (the posted results) that was what I came up with. (As well, I have used it fir several other numbers...)

Give me a day and I will post the "full version"
