First - I agree with the sentiments of the original posting, although it is equally quite difficult to create something "so new" considering the limited tooks we have to work with in such a confined (terrestial) realm.
But I see that such is possible.
The first step that I did in creating the Isisian System is first to research the Ancients to understand if there were any energetical links to the systems in play and if so, could they be united into a comprehensive system predicated on the Letters of English solely. To this end, we see a growing sea of "English Qaballists" rising to fill this void. What I dont see in most studies in this "metaphysical science" is a framework upon which to build.
In the earliest days of my research, what made sense to me was that the Alphabet should be framework for any "new" system. This belief is not without precedent. Masonic (Initiated Order) information has already secreted the formula's of
ISIS = 9+19+9+19 = 19+16+5+5+3+8 = SPEECH
and
OSIRIS = 15+19+9+18+9+19 = 89 = 18+5+12+9+7+9+15+14 = RELIGION
This concept of there being a religion predicated on the esoterics of Speech, wherein "spoken word traditions" would be equated with Isis, who sign is that of the Air, as represented by the SWORD (S-WORD = Spoken Word), and that of Religion, or the WRITTEN Word, as symbolised by the Penis, or the Pen, and Osiris.
The palindrome of WRITTEN is NETTIRW, or the Egyptian concept of the Neteru, which means "eternit(Y)", which itself can be spun "magically in an invokation" into the word ETERNIT = NETERU in an anagrammic formula. So through a focused study of Letters, we can, it is presumed, master the concept of concious spell creation using ancient formulas with a modern concious awareness, and the system would be predicated wholly and soley on English Letters/Alphabet, and effecting a series of transposition codes as needed to keep our system in absolute mathematical balance on a concious level.
There is precedent to attack the problem in such a mental framework, for the power of a magicial lies in the power of his spells and concious focus to project them. In doing this, we need to, again, study the Ancients. Thoth is said to have created the Letters and taught them to Isis (Speech). Thus there is an implication that the letters existed before speech, and that speech (ISIS) is derived from THOTH, wherein the silent letters to THOTH is the idea of G-T, or the word THO(UGH)T.
As we study the ancients, there is, indeed, many clear channels regarding this idea of Letters as an esoteric science interspersed with the Written Word. In the work "Infancy Gospel of Thomas", written around CE 140-170, we have an interesting passage about another "magicial", that known in history as Jesus, which writes of the period of Jesus youth. The following story highlights the essence of the Letters as an esoteric doctrine, wherein this encounter is said to have occured when Jesus was 5 years old.
"VI. 1 Now a certain teacher, Zacchaeus by name, stood there and he heard in part when Jesus said these things to his father and he marvelled greatly that being a young child he spake such matters. 2 And after a few days he came near unto Joseph and said unto him: Thou hast a wise child, and he hath understanding. Come, deliver him to me that he may learn letters. And I will teach him with the letters all knowledge and that he salute all the elders and honour them as grandfathers and fathers, and love them of his own years. 3 And he told him all the letters from Alpha even to Omega clearly, with much questioning. But Jesus looked upon Zacchaeus the teacher and saith unto him: Thou that knowest not the Alpha according to its nature, how canst thou teach others the Beta? thou hypocrite, first, if thou knowest it, teach the Alpha, and then will we believe thee concerning the Beta. Then began he to confound the mouth of the teacher concerning the first letter, and he could not prevail to answer him."
This story highlights the importance that the various Initiated Orders have and continue to place in alphabets, being that alphabets are the initial archetypical symbols that enable mind to be frozen (written) in time. Letters as a process of spell casting are equally the chief means through which a magician within the Isisian arts effects his/her power.
To this end, we have worked to bring the Isisian Codes to a layer interest among a few interested in developing their own systems. They act, in a computer sense, as a "developers tool", and as far as I can see, the variations as to what can ultimately developed lies soley with the creativity of the crafter who has mastered the Letters.
