44 magical mythos, are startling. Examine, for example, Ric Williamson’s MARK III. MARK = 43 = RA HOOR. III = 69 = CALIPH. Keep in mind that, as Williamson used it, the “III” was almost certainly a kind of title. But the use of “I’s has a special Thelemic use, as a delineation of a 22-year period. III in this mode is the year 66 of the New Aeon, that is corre- sponding to the year 1970 of the Vulgar Era. When Karl Germer died in 1962, he left the office of Outer Head of the OTO vacant. Major Grady McMurtry, acting upon his emergency authority, eventually took on the role of Acting OHO, taking the title “Caliph.” His first public act was the publication, in 1970, of the Thoth Tarot Cards. Ill e.n. = 1970 e.v. (E.N. or Era Novis or New Aeon; E.V. or Era Vulgaris, or Com- mon Era). III (considered as letters) in classical cipher mode = 69 = CALIPH, the word for the keeper of the prophet’s flame; in this case Aleister Crowley, the Prophet of the New Acon of Thelema, or True Will. We also see the same magical New Aeon mythos unfolded in the West Virginia case. INDRID COLD = 112 = WORD OF THE LAW and also WORDS AND SIGNS as well as the aforementioned WE ARE ONE. Connected to the MARK of MARK III (112) we get RA HOOR. Cold’s wife, KIMI = NIGHT, another name for NUIT. Both are from LANULUS (= HADIT). They are accompanied by SET (“CARL ARDO’”) as the SNAKE. They sometime travel with CLINNEL, the 93 current All such terms, to New Aeon magicians, are of extreme importance. At this juncture we need to say a word or two about the Lexicon computer pro- gram. Once the 1974 cipher solution was discovered, working with it was painstak- ing and abominably slow. A few years later a brilliant computer software develop- ment consultant and associate of the Qabalistic Alchemist Arcanum, Frater Lamed, began the development of a software program designed to research the cipher. The results were staggering. The 1974 cipher solution is perhaps best displayed as a 26- pointed star, with one point for each letter of the English alphabet. Using mainframe computer technology over a 10-year period, Lamed found that not only could one work easily and quickly with the original cipher, but literally thousands of alternative successful ciphers are embedded in the original star. Such stars are rare; but people who have examined them geometrically as well as internally find them incredibly eerie—suggestive of a starseed transmission with an enormous store of information, a veritable library. It has been estimated that to find the 20,000-plus successful cipher solutions thus far discovered would, without com- puter technology, have involved every human being who has ever lived discovering eight successful solutions in their lifetime. Little wonder, then, that the name Aleister Crowley, adopted at a time when no computer technology existed, yields a value of 194, equal to COMPUTER KEY. Also, Achad’s key of the rituals, IN MANIFESTA- TION = 237 = PERSONAL COMPUTER. Virtually none of the cipher work that has been done since 1974 could have been accomplished before the advent of com- puter technology and the widespread dispersal of the personal computer. Crowley died in 1947, Achad in 1950. They “could not” have known, but the Masters of the Great White Brotherhood embedded a key to the cipher of the UFOnauts in their very names. Lexicon is available to any researcher with a personal computer. Allen H. Greenfield
