However in this case secret names can be used to conceal references to phrases and words with an equal value in 'The Book of the Law' and other key texts by Crowley. This seems similar to experiments in Gematria and numerology that will be familiar to most students of the occult. ![]() However the book describes a cipher discovered in Aleister Crowley's 'Book of the Law', this being in the form of letters in the English alphabet each having a distinct numerical value, with words and phrases being assigned a numeric total. ![]() When I obtained this book I wasn't aware that there was a more recent edition, which the author recommends instead of this version, so I'm not sure what I may have missed out on by getting this older 'IllumiNet Press' 1994 edition. ![]() ![]() He hopes parents will be able to use the book to talk to their very young children about the challenges that endangered species face.
