Another possible "hidden" key to understanding the meaning of the "93 Current" derives from the explicit symmetries and "styles of the letters." I noticed that rotating the Arabic numerals themselves -- the "9" and the "3" -- by ninety degrees (incidentally, an "L" shape, AL's original title) reveals the Greek lower-case letters sigma and omega.
The first, most obvious consequence of this turning gives the images of the Phallus and the Kteis, the generators of the world-illusion, the fundamental (sic) tools of magic (as repeatedly emphasized in the Typhonian Trilogies).
Greek isopsephy gives "sigma + omega" as 200 + 800 = 1000, the number (if I may permit myself the cross-pollination of numerological types) of "aleph writ large," as it is also the number of the Hebrew word "shemonim" meaning "eighty." Cf. "Nothing is a secret key of this law. Sixty-one the Jews call it; I call it eight, eighty, four hundred and eighteen." (AL I.46; note also AL III.46, which refers to the "Eighties." There is another meaning for this which is off-topic.)
Greek isopsephical cognates of 1000 include "scarlet" (kokkinoi; e.g., AL I.15), "minister" (choregesai; AL I.7, the only instance of this word), and "Lord" (kyriou; e.g., AL I.46).
The word "SO" occurs paired with AL: ALSO. Most significantly, we have (AL III.47): "Then this line drawn is a key: then this circle squared in its failure is a key also. And Abrahadabra." In this context, we have found a repetition: "so" => "eighty" and (as we all know) "Abrahadabra" => 418, functionally mapping AL I.46. (The "circle squared" is most probably _Finnegans Wake_; Joyce referred to _FW_ as his attempt to "square the circle"; it seems to illuminate much of AL's obscurity -- or perhaps it is the other way around!)
ALSO occurs a total of 15 times; as Grant points out: "Time is Kali, the Goddess Fifteen" (AC & HG , 26). If AL does indeed constitute "the Log of a Time Traveller" (Grant, "Looking Forward!" in Starfire Vol. II, No. 3, p. 132), then "ALSO" as "The (AL) Perfect-Ion (1000)" indicates "The Way."
The word "so" occurs -- either by itself or as part of another word -- a total of sixty-one times (including the comment, where it occurs twice; but as "Hadit burning in thy heart shall make swift and secure thy pen" [AL III.40] in this regard, it seems a valid inclusion), invoking yet again the words of Nuit in AL I.46...and let us note in particular that the initials of "sixty-one" are "s.o." (And note "six" = "shesh" [Heb.] = 1000.)
A quick observation regarding "word-play" (our standard "qliphothic" pastime): ALSO is a metathesis of LOAS (cf. "Ailoas" in Grist to Whose Mill? and Grant's observations re the "Book of the Loa") and SOLA (~ solus (Lat.), "alone"; cf. "I am alone: there is no God where I am" [AL II.23]), as it also contains SOL (sun) and SAL (salt), among many other terms. "ALSO" is indicating an alchemical correlation here; is it "the Operation of the Sun" referred to in the Tabula Smaragdina? And does this connect in some way with the "great miss" (I'm calling it that on purpose -- the verse is *pregnant* with meaning, and will be dealt with elsewhere) of AL II.76?
In momentary conclusion -- having not nearly exhausted this topic -- may I note here that "so" appears repeatedly in that OTHER book previously mentioned (which I will be unraveling soon): James Joyce's Finnegans Wake, a book that Grant held in high esteem. That Joyce has never been pointed out as the possible "child" referred to in AL seems unfortunate...he has at least as much of a claim to it as C. S. Jones, perhaps more so.
