I've continued to putter with the gemetra based divination I used in The divination thread from earlier. Today I tried plugging in cusm (336) and try some pulls from the 336 file. Those word files are at www.aspects.org/carter/gemetra for anyone wanting to play along at home. Kindly ignore the web site, it hasn't been updated in several years :[
So Anyway, I got some interesting results using the technique of blindly highlighting words to cut paste into a file as the draw, and then seeking interpretation by dictionary results or random web searches on the word to see what comes up and clicks as syncroniciticly important.
That all went pretty well for me, and I got some interesting messages. But the last one, RIPAL led me in an interesting tangent I'm sharing here. The search for RIPAL hit "The summary for this Hebrew page contains characters that cannot be correctly displayed in this language/character set." Clue in with the work on the 26 thread. Needless to say, that got my attention.
So I tried a pull on Hebrew (366). While I was scrolling up and down the page, I started to "feel" out where I should stop the page, and began to perceive an overlay of the tree of life, kind of like I was picking a part of the tree to get a reading on. I stopped near Yesod, and pulled "LAYER". Hm. Many layers to reality, truth, etc. But there were a couple of other hot spots I wanted to check out. The next one homed in over the abyss (Daath), and the word pulled was "UNGOD". Ok, that's right spooky. So, I looked upwards, for a spot in the supernal trinagle. I found one below kether, but above Binah and Chochma, somewhere in the middle. "AMAKOSA". some yahoomancy later, and I hit a line about a Bantu tribe who practice animistic belief. Notably, much of my views of divinity run animisticly and immanent, so that was a good affirmation.
Anyway, twas a rather spooky pull, overall, and I figured it worth sharing. This technique does seem to work pretty good for me, a little too good sometimes, I think. |
