Phone Gematria

how about it? analyzation of the qabalistic significance of your phone number? or an experiment in which you generate a phone number by concentrating on certain words and divining their gematria, then manifesting a phone number as if were a servitor, preparing a question, dialing, asking, and interpreting the oracle? perhaps you could actually create a tulpoid on the other end. ATT -- all tomorrow's tulpoids?

sort of a reverse "phone calls from the dead"

Should the area code and the country code be included in this?

What a fantastic idea. Assigning each number to a sephiroth...the possibilities are endless. ( Minus Malkuth Or Kether for the 10 th?)
PS I was alway fascinated with the use of the phones for transportation in the matrix... This idea sparks many in my wee little mind.

You'll need a special sigil to get past Caller ID.

Seriously, I don't think the people on the other end of the line will appreciate being asked esoteric questions at odd hours of the day. Your "servitor" may be mistaken for a "prank phone call."

i genuinely believe that if you pull off the magic well enough, you'll wind up calling someone who's dying for the phone to ring and happens to have to answer to a question you need to ask. and if you fuck up the magick, you wind up with an angry entity, but that's definately not new news in this business.

Not quite the same thing, but I've watched the words formed in my phone numbers throughout the years, sticking with the last 4 digits, and tried to make a sentence. In order,

xxx-BIGG

xxx-EVIL (I dined out on that one quite often)

xxx-9278 (here gets fuzzy, I interpreted as signal noise, several "almost" words)

xxx-LAST

xxx-9278 (here gets fuzzy, I interpreted as signal noise, several "almost" words) – Floats with Spider

xxx-WART? (Admittedly, you may not be able to dine out on that one quite as often!)

True, "angry entities" can be par for the course...but phone tracers are a bit more recent.

Let us know how you do and what sort of answers you get.

Reminds me of an exercise my Dad told me about when he was doing telesales. He got so thoroughly hacked off with it that he prayed for help, and was told a specific number to ring at a specific time on a specific day. After this he put his feet up, read books, worked on his teaching plans, not caring about hitting targets. When the day came and he called the number, he sold £10,000 worth of stock in one call (the MD happened to walk past the phone when the secretary was on the toilet - otherwise he wouldn't have got a look-in). From this one call he got a job training the rest of the department in sales skills!

that story's intense. what kind of a theory could we develop to understand the phone as a technomagickal tool for creating communication/action servitors?

...and as long as i'm monologing on the topic... what about the potential hazards, if the phone IS a technomagical device, of accidental sigil discharge due to phone sex? or phone sex hotlines? think of the massive amounts of cthonic carrier signal.. christ, nevermind a wopping phone bill, you could wind up with some kind of sex-demon of choronzon taking your shit off the hook.

...and then there's always my favorite sub genre of parapsychology: phone calls from the dead...
