To: alt.magick.tyagy,alt.magick,talk.religion.misc From: tyagi@houseofkaos.abyss.com (nocTifer) Subject: (Z) SATOR square Date: Wed, 7 Jan 1998 20:39:16 -0800 49970911 aa2 Hail Satan! re the SATOR Square or Formula: S A T O R A R E P O T E N E T O P E R A R O T A S I'm not sure it has any sort of literal meaning as a glyph. there is some history behind its usage, as has been mentioned here and may be found in archive at the Hollyfeld Archives http://www.hollyfeld.org/heaven/ some of its elements are certainly words, such as "TENET" and "OPERA", and the Latin "ROTA(S?)". this latter is often associated with the tarot in a sort of glyph of its own: T A O R as is depicted on the back of some versions of _The Book of Thoth_ and likely elsewhere. 'taro' and 'rota' (wheel) are often related deeply, sometimes in associated with the Wheel of the Cosmos/Galaxy and at others with the Wheel of Fortune/Rebirth. it can be found in any number of occult texts, though few seem to have much information on the historical origins or usage. one source I have to hand indicates: _SATOR FORMULA_ The most famous of all magic squares. It has been found inscribed on ancient walls, drinking vessels, etc. It is recommended for finding witches, extinguishing fires, fulfilling wishes, and many other purposes. It may be an anagram of *Pater noster* and the first letters, repeated, of Alpha and Omega. ----------------------------------------------------- _The Dictionary of Satanism_, by Wade Baskin, Philosophical Library, Bonanza Books, 1972; p. 290. _____________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ nocTifer: tyagi@houseofkaos.abyss.com --- http://www.abyss.com/tokus TOKUS-COE Office: 408/2-666-SLUG --- Mother Church (CoE) coe@netcom.com ____________...oooOOO---zazas-l@hollyfeld.org---OOOooo..._____________ To unsubscribe send "unsubscribe" to zazas-l-request@hollyfeld.org To unsubscribe your@email.com send "unsubscribe your@email.com" To subscribe send "subscribe" to zazas-l-request@hollyfeld.org http://www.hollyfeld.org/heaven
