Subject: Your Answer to INRI                    UpdReq 

I'm not sure who was looking for the info on INRI (or if you've already found 
it) but here some is.
INRI- One of the most perveasive acronyms in religion and the occult.  INRI
appears on inumerous churches, paintings, and crucifixes, and is used in
almost as many Hermetic orders.
One interpretation is "Igni Natura Renovatur Integra", or "all of natureis
restored by fire."  A less lofty but equally common version is "Iron Nails
Ran In."
The Hermatic Order of the Golden Dawn attributed the cycle of the
resurection of Osiris to the word.....which is a little hard to give the
exact chart, but here's the main idea:
     I    Yod     Creation
     N    Nun     The God Slain and Risen
     R    Resh    Destruction
     I    Yod     The Trinity
NOTE: (the definitions of Nun and Resh should be switched.
If you have any specific questions, please feel free to ask.
