From: Josh Norton Area: Thelema To: Kevin Bold 7 Mar 95 10:28:00 Subject: I.N.R.I. UpdReq Thus said Kevin Bold to Josh Norton concerning I.N.R.I.: KB> KB> 93! Hi! JN > ... INRI: Isn't Norton Rex Incredible? KB> Incipient narcissism, recognized immediately ;) Stolen! KB> BTW, I'm still collecting "authentic" traditional meanings of INRI. KB> If you care to share them with me, please include documentation, as I KB> need reliable information. I don't get much into that sort of thing. But I'd like to see your list, if you care to post it. Beyond the ones listed in Sepher Sephiroth, and in the G.D. 5=6 ritual, I can't think of any. Crowley refers to an appendix in his _Collected Works_; perhaps there's some more there? No, waitaminnit! Here's one I found in my database. The entry doesn't list a source, so you can't count it as "reliable", but it isn't one of mine. INRI = IChIDH, NShMH, RVCh, IQVM According the database, this is a sort of half-assed conversion of the normal elemental sequence of INRI (i.e., Air, Water, Fire, Earth) into the sequence usually represented by IHVH (Fire, Water, Air, Earth). IChIDH being the fire of Kether that creates the whole Tree of Life, NShMH the watery undifferentiated creative "substance" of Binah, RVCh the Airy "mind", and IQVM the manifest existence of Malkuth. The note says that IQVM means both "existence" and "essence", implying that the end of the creative process is a return to its beginning. ... I told you, we're an anarcho-syndicalist commune. --- Blue Wave/QWK v2.12 * Origin: Access!
