choose to interpret the vertical line above 666 as 1, and add it, the number of the Scarlet
Woman, 667, appears. (667=Η ΚΟΚΚΙΝΗ ΓΥΝΗ=8 + 20 + 70 + 20 + 20 + 10 + 50 + 8 + 3
+ 400 + 50+ 8.) This cipher is enclosed in a Heptagram, as manifestly needful; and this fig‐
ure again in interlaced Pentagons whose sides are extended, so forming a Wheel of 10
spokes whose boundary is a Decagon; and this again within a circular band, upon which is
inscribed in full the name ΤΟ ΜΕΓΑ ΘΗΡΙΟΝ, of 12 (6 x 2) letters.
About this whirling Disk are its six Wings; the entire symbol is not only a glyph of
Earth as understood in this New Aeon of Horus, but of the number 6, the number of the Sun.
This card is thus an affirmation of the identity of Sol and Terra‐and that will be best
understood by those who have punctually practised Liber Resh for the necessary number of
years, preferably in such Hermitages as those of the Sahara Desert, where the Sun and the
Earth can soon be instinctively recognized as living Beings, one’s constant companions in a
Universe of Pure Joy.
