The names are the Words of Power wherein the magus sums up and evokes into
conscious ness the multiform potencies of the Beni Elohim. These names are by no
manner of means arbitrary and barbaric vocables, without etymology or meaning. They
are philosophical formulae. In some cases their interpretation is etymological, as in the
case of the Egyptian deities, whose names are built up out of the names of potencies and
symbols when used to indicate composite forces. In all systems of magic, however, which
have their root in the Qabalah, the magical names are built up out of the numerical value
of the consonants of whatever sacred alphabet is used; there is a Greek, an Arabic, and a
Coptic Qabalah, as well as the better-known Hebrew one. These consonants, when
replaced by the appropriate numerals, yield a number, which can be dealt with
mathematically in many ways. Some of these ways are according to the methods of pure
mathematics, the results being then translated back into letters again, and showing very
interesting correspondences with the names of similar or related potencies. This is a very
curious aspect of Qabalistic lore, and in the hands of competent exponents yields
interesting results; it is, however, full of pitfalls for the unwary, for there is no limit to
what it can be made to yield, and only a sound knowledge of first principles can tell us
when the analogies are legitimate or otherwise, and prevent us from falling into credulity
and superstition.
