Kind words, Sheosyrath.
Heres my take on the Great Puzzle.
I've seen alot of master magicians try and crack it using Crowley's system of word numerology, symbolism, math, and techniques. We must remember that this puzzle cannot be cracked in the language or methods of The Beast, or he himself would have been able to crack it, and he wasn't meant to (assuming it was from a supernatural intelligence.)
Countless websites tend to cater to this oddity, though with all things meant for the higher age, I believe it may be expounded with some un-common sense.
This dosn't nessecarily mean that it would take a greater intellect than Crowley's to crack it, but it would certainly require a different way of seeing things.
4 6 3 8 a b k 2 4 a l g m o r 3 y x 24 89 r p s t o v a l.
Converting letters to numbers gives a 148 using simple addition.
This is a permutation of 418.
"Aye! Listen to the numbers & the words!"
With the answer to this, also being a word of some sort...
"...tell them this glad word."
Before Hadit manifests the string of code, He mentions words already within it.
Let's look at the letters.
abk algmor yx rpstoval
Any words inherent in this would be
Oval, at the end, or circle, perhaps representive of Nuit.
Algmor is an anagram of
Glamor. There is also a period at the end, representative of Hadit, according to Crowley... Nuit, Hadit, the point within the circle. I believe Oval was put as the ending to bring more attention to the Nuit/Hadit duality.
I'm so much concerned with the prose within it, as I am interested in it as a (code) given to a (prophet) from an (egyptian god).
Since a string of numbers gives 148, as if the first clue was found, let's do the reverse, numbers to letters.
4 6 3 8 2 4 3 2 4 8 9
D F C H B D C B D H I
As a puzzle, there has to be some manner of equation within it.
DFCH ABK BD ALGMOR = 15
C YX BDHI RPSTOVAL = 15
30 characters in total, which can be equally divided.
There are four gaps in each line, the gap occurs when the language is switched from numbers to letters. This is very important. There are also 4 clusters of value within each line.
4638 abk 24 algmor 3 yx 2489 rpstoval.
Keep in mind the origin of this "intelligence".
Hieroglyphics can be read from left to right, right to left, or up and down.
Since a simple reversal won't be of much good,
let's try up and down as if on columns.
This now gives 4 sections of information.
Note: In the case of zero, (A) will be traditionally used
DC = 4 3 = 8
FY = 6 25 = 31
CX = 3 24 = 27
HB = 8 2 = 10
----------------
21, 54, 76 = 151 (AEA)
AD = 1 4 = 5
BH = 2 8 = 10
KI = 11 9 = 21
----------------
14, 21, 36 = 71 (GA)
BR = 2 18 = 20
DP = 4 16 = 20
----------------
6, 34, 40 = 80 (HA)
AS = 1 19 = 20
LT = 12 20 = 32
GO = 7 15 = 22
MV = 13 22 = 35
OA = 15 1 = 16
RL = 18 12 = 30
----------------
66, 89, 155 = 310 (CAA)
AEA-GA-HA-CAA
(aee-gah-hah-kah)
The "C" was devoid of "S" sound in Egypt/that area.
bearing some odd resemblance to Abrahadabra, and fitting quite well.
ABRA-HAD-ABRA
AEA-GA-HA-CAA
It is also
incredibly rare to gain a pronouncable word from this method,
without the end result being a jumbled string of consonants.
ABRAHADABRA is 11, as are "all of their numbers who are of us"
AEAGAHACAA is 10 (number of perfection, although I would expect 11)
... but wait
"Crowley concluded that the "0" represented Nuit, or the circumference of the universe. The period "." was representative of Hadit."
Are we to include the period found at the end of
"4 6 3 8 a b k 2 4 a l g m o r 3 y x 24 89 r p s t o v a l."?
If so, the complimentary "hidden" magic word would thus be 11 characters as well. And this does come from, after all, the chapter attributed to Hadit.
More on this correspondance...
From up to down
ABRAHADABRA
AEAGAHACAA.
AA
BE
RA
AG
HA
AH
DA
AC
BA
RA
A
aa-be-ra-ag-ha-ah-da-ac-ba-ra-a
11 syllables total.
All variations pay homage to those used in magic squares, mantras and power words.
Well, I'm out. Do with this what thou wilt, this is only what I personally have gotten out of it while trying to figure it out myself. A very Crowley-like word of power, is it the THE "Glad Word", though? Who knows. Perform some rituals with it, or ask your "higher powers", and see what happens. I'd also recommend the endless websites which try and get to some kind of bottom. As I said before, though, they're using Crowley's methods, and I do not think it will come from that way, lest he himself would have expounded it.
In this case, I think it's more of how you think, than what you know. This puzzle is far from over, but I don't I'll be giving up on it either. (that is, if there is truly something to be gotten out of it)
Good luck on your mission.
