182 The <strong>Kabbalah</strong> <strong>of</strong><strong>the</strong> <strong>Golden</strong> <strong>Dawn</strong><br />
NOTARICON, or abbreviation, is <strong>of</strong> two forms, one word<br />
is formed from <strong>the</strong> initial and final letters <strong>of</strong> one or more words,<br />
or <strong>the</strong> letters <strong>of</strong> one name are taken as <strong>the</strong> initials or finals <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> words <strong>of</strong> a sentence. For example, in Deut. 30 v. 12, Moses<br />
asks "Who shall go up for us to Heaven?" The initial letters <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> original words MI IOLH LNV HShMILH, form <strong>the</strong> word<br />
MILH, mylah, which means circumcision, and <strong>the</strong> final letters<br />
are IHVH, <strong>the</strong> name Jehovah: hence it was suggested that circumcision<br />
was a feature <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> way to God in heaven.<br />
Amen, AMN, is from <strong>the</strong> initials <strong>of</strong> Adonai melekh<br />
namen. "The Lord and <strong>the</strong> faithful king"; and <strong>the</strong> famous Rabbinic<br />
word <strong>of</strong> power used for talismans, AGLA, is formed <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> initials <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> words "Ateh gibur leolarn Adonai." "The<br />
lord ever powerful," or "Tu patens in soeculum Dornme,"<br />
TEMURA is a more complex procedure, and has led to an<br />
immense variety <strong>of</strong> curious modes <strong>of</strong> divination: <strong>the</strong> letters <strong>of</strong><br />
a word are transposed according to certain rules with many<br />
limitations: or again, <strong>the</strong> letters as arranged by a definite<br />
scheme, <strong>of</strong>ten shown in a diagram. For example, a common<br />
form was to write one-half <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> alphabet over <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r in<br />
reverse order, and so that <strong>the</strong> first letter A was placed by <strong>the</strong><br />
last T, and B by Shin, and so on. On this plan <strong>the</strong> word Shesnak<br />
<strong>of</strong> Jeremiah 12 v. 26, is said to mean babel: this permutation<br />
was known as ATBSh. On this principle we find<br />
twenty-one o<strong>the</strong>r possible forms named in order ALbat,<br />
Abgat: <strong>the</strong> complete set was called "The combination <strong>of</strong><br />
Tziruph." O<strong>the</strong>r forms were rational, right, averse and irregular,<br />
obtained from a square <strong>of</strong> 22 spaces in each direction, that<br />
is <strong>of</strong> 404 secondary squares, and <strong>the</strong>n putting a letter in each<br />
square in order up and down, and <strong>the</strong>n reading across or diagonally,<br />
etc. Of this type is <strong>the</strong> so-called "<strong>Kabbalah</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Nine<br />
Chambers" <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Mark Masons.<br />
