IDOIGO question, Skrying the AEthrys Options

93 "Discover your unconditioned will (Thelema) and abide by that law of connection alone."

In the text with 19th key in "Gems from the Equinox" Crowley has two foot notes, one is the Change of LIL (a list is given for this,) and the other is the change of IDOIGO in accordance with the AEtheyr which is being skryed. IDOIGO is the upper left hand name on the air tablet running down on the t. idoigo in the text is actually translated from Enocian to "of him that sitteth on the holy throne."

From Crowley's note this seems to make it a specific name called during scrying of LIL, the first aether at least. this would give 15 other angels using the same formula from the squares. This still leaves 14 names unless some are used for more than one aether.

i have not run into any problems with my traveling using IDOIGO but was wondering if anyone was aware of the source behind this note? of course looking at the elements there are manners with which one can place the other names but no translations for them as i am aware. Is anyone else aware of any papers or information re: this matter? I have put together a few interesting possibilities but the systems keep breaking apart.

Blessings and peace!

One of the latest theories i have had was when it occured to me that as the AEthers are entered from the central to the external and the if the air of air in Crowley's mind did indeed indicate the last of the rings passed and entered, then the very begining may be the tablet of union, or even the seal on the center of Dee's table, (but i would guess tht the master Therion saw in the great watchtower arrangement the key of entrance, IDOIGO being the key, corresponding to the final AEther, LIL, thus used the tablet of union. Crowley appears in his works to be a grand scheme reductionist.) and he pointed to the 30 as a trangle in grand repetition on the tree of life on different levels (giving ten triangles.)

An because the system is worked from the inside out one of my theories is this;

30 = tablet of union as one name
29 = NANTA BITOM, working up to
28 = EXARP HCOMA, aplication of the three fold division
27 = TABITOM
26 = COMANAN
25 = EXARPH
24- 20 = 5 roots starting with PAAM and ending with EHNB , now one can jump to the elemental tablets having passed through spirit, and this gives 11 names to the tablet of union.

19- 17 are the three great letters of each tablet beginig with HCTGA then DIAL then MOR

In this system the final 16 are worked 4 times each changing the pass names to the folloing 3 letters of each element from 19 - 17 each time, or another possibility is using all of the corresponding letters in asceding order at each point. Then...

(here i am attributing the order of the names on the crosses the same element within element attributions as the order of watchtowers on the great square,

16 = ABALPT earth of earth
15 = UOLXDO earth of fire
14 = MALADI E of W

and so on in a sideways U shape in the order of E. F. A. W. until LIL is reached with IDOIGO.

That one is quite a jump but the symbolism of the unfolding of these elements match very well with Vision and Voice but are way off from my own experience and the logic of the unfoldment of the 30 AEthers. So I have gone from trying to make it practical to trying to read Crowley's mind to figure out what the hell he was thinking! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I have quite a few other theories but as i stated, they all fall apart. There is, as with any translation, an infinity of possibilities.
