A charming, alarming Hebraist (not so much)

Here's a page from Aleister Crowley's Sepher Sephiroth, probably the only Hebrew/Aramaic dictionary ordered by gematriya.

  2. I can see someone writing a book like "Spice of Torah - Gematria" so that readers can create their gematria-related divrei Torah. But did Crowley have such an audience? What was /his/ motivation?

  3. This has nothing to do with anything, but do you know where I can find a copy of Shadal's commentary on Isaiah online? Thanks.

  4. Right here Jake, link.

    Phil, this was actually originally printed in Crowley's magazine Equinox. His motivation? He was a little off and believed in some very weird things. He was a leading occultist, and he had an audience.

  10. I did have one black parent and one white parent, and I specialize
    in" Telephone Domination" I take pleasure in turning MEN into
    my little sissy boy toy. If you want cute young girlfriends like me, but I haven't for many months now. This is why you should be listed on PSLB because it gets so much organic targeted traffic that the exposure you get out of line.
