Thank you for sharing Kate !

I love the fact that Francis Bacon's Bilateral Cipher is revealed on pages 102 (ONE HUNDRED TWO = WILLIAM TUDOR I = FRA ROSI CROSSE) and 103 (SHAKESPEARE)! 😊

And the index is very interesting ! 😉

I really do not believe in coincidence ...

111 + 178 + 254 = 543

543 is an important number.

This is the gematria of "Eyeh Asher Eyeh" ... " I AM THAT I AM"

"And God said unto Moses, I Am That I Am: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent me unto you."

Exodus 3 :14 (King James Bible)

This is Magick ! 😉

I love how so many old books are available on the Internet. Thanks for linking to this Natural Magick book, and for all your great insights.

I saw this in the morning on page 100 when poking around a few minutes.

I remember maybe 20 years ago somehow I stumbled on a pomegranate reference and spent time learning about it's symbology. It is a Freemason symbol, and is very old. It had meaning with the ancients. Must have been when I was reading Pike that I came across it. It is related to the Two Pillars as well.

https://www.rimasons.org/trestleboard/212-the-esoteric-meaning-of-the-twin-pillars-boaz-joachim

The account of Solomon’s Temple is of great importance to Freemasonry as each detail of the building holds an important esoteric meaning. As mentioned before the Pillars act as a portal to the mysterious. According to the ancient Rabbis, Solomon was an initiate of the Mystery schools and the Temple in which he built was actually a house of initiation containing a mass of pagan, philosophic, and phallic emblems. The pomegranates, the palm headed columns, the pillars before the door, coupled with the arrangement of the chambers and draperies all indicate the Temple to have been patterned after sanctuaries of Egypt and Atlantis.

Albert Pike had his own description and I quote, "you entered the lodge between two columns. They represent the two which stood on the porch of the Temple, one on each side of the great eastern gateway. These pillars of bronze were four fingers breadth in thickness according to the most accurate account, eighteen cubits in height with a capital of five cubits high. The shaft of each was four cubits in diameter. A cubit being one foot and 707/1000s, that is, the shaft of each was a little over thirty feet eight inches in height. The capital was a little over eight feet six inches in height, and the diameter of the shaft six feet ten inches. The capitals were enriched with pomegranates of bronze covered by bronze net-work and ornamented with wreaths of bronze, and appear to have imitated the shape of the seed-vessel of the lotus or Egyptian lily, a sacred symbol to the Hindus and Egyptians. Both these columns as you may be aware have a Hebrew translation from the Old Testament. The etymology can thus be explained, the word "Jachin" in Hebrew was pronounced Ya-Kayan, meaning firm, upright, or stable. Boaz on the other hand is "Baaz" meaning power or might. The one on the right means, "He Shall Establish" and the second, "in it is strength." One thing you may not be aware of is that these columns were imitations created by Khurum the Tyrian artist, and similar columns stood at the entrance of the famous Temple of Malkarth in the city of Tyre.

 

Notice the last sentence above. Remember Sonnet 66 with its two T's and 11 A's?

TYr'd with all these for restfull death I cry,

and

  Tyr'd with all these, from these would I be gone,

 

 

[Light-of-Truth]

Funny, all day today in my brain was "pomegranate". I know this word, studied it a long time ago. But today being a busy, hectic, and even stressful day as it was bouncing around my mind, I couldn't bring back what I once learned. Yea, a Freemason thing. I wondered if it was Peter Dawkins who brings it up, Maybe Dodd, or a discovery in Shakespeare I found, or something Bacon said himself. All day while doing what I was needed to do, I was thinking about "pomegranate."

When I saw Kate's post early this morning with a link that had a mention of "Natural Majick" I went to the book. I am familiar with it and love it. Only had a few minutes, and have looked for clues here many times before with no discoveries. Yet, every time I come here I end up reading bits and pieces that are fascinating to me. This book is a window into the past. And any page or anywhere I read a paragraph or two I feel like there is another meaning for those who seek. It is a Magic book.

So on page 100 I saw "pomegranate" and was obsessed all day. When I got back home, with our Air Conditioning not working on a hot humid Florida day, an already hectic day it was still on my mind. Lucky our A/C people were close by and fixed it. Finally I had time to look up a few things. I wanted to mention the 100 and pomegranate in case anyone would have some interesting things to say. The link I added to the previous reply with the quote in below I found a moment before submitting. The "Tyre" comment was spontaneous, without much thought. My goal was to mention pomegranate and then rekindle what I learned once upon a time.

The etymology can thus be explained, the word "Jachin" in Hebrew was pronounced Ya-Kayan, meaning firm, upright, or stable. Boaz on the other hand is "Baaz" meaning power or might. The one on the right means, "He Shall Establish" and the second, "in it is strength." One thing you may not be aware of is that these columns were imitations created by Khurum the Tyrian artist, and similar columns stood at the entrance of the famous Temple of Malkarth in the city of Tyre.

I never heard that the Pillars we know and admire so much were created by someone in Tyre. Sonnet 66 has been on my mind, as it is every year around this time. The words in Sonnet 66, "Tyr'd" has multiple meanings. This evening I am blown away. If this is true about the Tyre origin of the two Pillars, then Bacon is right out in the open about the two T's of Sonnet 66. They are the two Pillars, Jachin and Boaz. Both T's in Sonnet 66 begin with the word "Tyr'd". What an amazing connection!

Ooooops, Tyre?

Of course Hiram Abiff of Tyre comes up. Bacon himself. The Son of the Widow.

I say that based on what I have read by Freemason Rick Wagner and countless hours on the phone with him mostly talking about Hiram Abiff and Francis Bacon. He has vast knowledge, real experience, especially in Freemason lodges and going through the rituals, and is 100% confident in what he says. I have absolutely no reason to have any doubts he is correct. Bacon is Hiram Abiff. Makes perfect sense. Rick knows.

The Hiram Abiff teaching is the 3rd Degree of Freemasonry.

I describe Sonnet 66 as the last Sonnet of the 6th Tier in the main 14 Tiered Pyramid going into the 7th Tier and Day 157. An IMPORTANT place in the Sonnets Pyramid design. In the 14 Tiered Pyramid the Sonnets are divided into 14 Tiers of 11 Sonnets. But, if we take the 154 Sonnets and divide them 22, we have a 7 Tiered Pyramid with 22 Sonnets in each Tier. Then Sonnet 66 is the last Sonnet of the 3rd Tier. That syncs with the Freemason Hiram Abiff of Tyre and also where the two Pillars, Jachin and Boaz where the "Pillars act as a portal to the mysterious."

I have not spent much time studying the 7 Tiered Pyramid. Day 287 is in the middle on the 6th Tier so its not as perfect as the 14 Tier design with 11 Sonnets in each Tier. But isn't curious that lately, thanks to Kate, the number 2 has become noticed. It keeps showing up everywhere! So a Pyramid design with 22 Sonnets in each Tier works and deserves a better look from me. But obviously Sonnet 66 as the last Sonnet of the 3rd Tier (TAAAAAAAAAAAT) thinking about the Freemason legend and ritual of Hiram Abiff and the 3rd Degree is an incredible match when Bacon made clear these were the two Pillars.

Yet right now I am excited for another reason. After over 20 years a few lose ends in my brain came together tonight. Like lightning striking a tree.

Jachin and Boaz, the Pillars:

The one on the right means, "He Shall Establish" and the second, "in it is strength."

I learned the names of the Pillars on 9/11/2001. That morning I added up the numbers of the date. SEPTEMBER ELEVEN is 157 Simple cipher, TWO THOUSAND ONE is 287 Kaye cipher. In the day I ran into a friend of mine who is a Freemason. Of course I told him what I found, and he knew me as a Baconian talking about 157 and 287 often. He told me the Twin Towers were these two Pillars, and he taught me a little about them, and their names. So on this historic day, 157, 287, Jachin, and Boaz came up.

How many times on the B'Hive have I shared that from what I have learned the numbers 157 and 287 are about "Strength and Permanence"? I've seen that for many years, Bacon teaches us that in how they show up. I have also seen where the numbers 11 and 111 appears with 157 and 287. How many graphics have I drawn and created digitally where I put the numbers 157 and 287 at the base of the Pillars? Yet, until reading this random link's description of the two Pillars I never connected that they are 157 and 287. One and the same. The Pillars and the Seal Numbers are about "He Shall Establish" and "in it is strength", exactly as I had seen it so many years. I believe the Double A's are the same. All three are connected and are about "He Shall Establish" and "in it is strength." Different visuals, but same meaning. Two Pillars, Two A's, Two Seal Numbers. 222.

Lightning striked and connected my lose ends. LOL

Indeed, all is in your signature !

You have the 11 A of Sonnet 66, and the gematria of the Hebrew Letter A (Aleph - ALP)  is ... 111 !

Tyr (157) AAAAAAAAAAA Tyr (287) with Tyr (Jakin - 157) and Tyr (Boaz - 287)  the two Pillars of Solomon's Temple.

And  157 + 287 = 444 that is the gematria of Mikdash , the Hebrew word for TEMPLE !

22 is an important cabalistic number.  It’s the number of letters in the Hebrew alphabet, the number of pathways in the tree of life (22 + 10 nodes) and the number of cards in the major arcana of Tarot. There is another reason why it’s important though - revealed in my ebook. (Please don’t mention it here if you’ve read it!) The-Secret-Work.com

Three twos are as symbolic as two twos and it is no surprise to me that TWO is proving to be one of the main cryptographic clues to unlock the secrets of Shakespeare.

To be or not Two b, that is the question! 

Bacon didn’t need to encrypt his name all over the place - although he and his good pens obviously had fun doing so, the answer for the world as to who wrote Shakespeare is hidden in plain sight on page 2 (as we all well know).

💥The book of Eccelsiates, written by King Solomon between 970 and 930 B.C., has 222 verses.

Exodus 3 :14 (King James Bible)

I told you that I did not believe in coincidence. 😀 I just made an extraordinary discovery in another book, a discovery highlighting one more time the connection between Francis Bacon, the number 543 and Exodus 3:14 (Pi=3.14 and 314 is simple cipher of FRATERNITY OF THE ROSI CROSSE) .

I will start a new topic in the next few days, looking forward sharing with you my findings.

But for now, I need to take a break ! See you soon ! 

Joy ! 😊

[Light-of-Truth]

Yann, I poked around with 543 for a few minutes this morning.

Line 543 of the Sonnets, Line 11 of Sonnet 39 in Day 92:

543 is an important number.

This is the gematria of "Eyeh Asher Eyeh" ... " I AM THAT I AM"

Line 1690 of the Sonnets, in Sonnet 121 the final Sonnet of the 11th Tier:

http://www.light-of-truth.com/pyramid-GMT.php#Sonnet121

Noe,I am that I am,and they that leuell

Reverse cipher of that line is 444, or 157+287. Reverse looking back when one passed the first Pillar at Day 157 and now is about to pass beyond the second Pillar, Day 287. 🙂

Note 322 as the Simple cipher using the 26 letter codes. Day is 322 is November 18 which sounds familiar to me. 😉

Another wonderful cryptography link.

Alex Boxer translated Steganographia. Press the red keys in the text throughout to see the code.

 

http://trithemius.com
In his introduction Alexander mentions what we all know - but I think many members of the public simply do not grasp or believe - that the simplest form of secret writing is acrostics. 

 

From reading the full text it is clear we should perhaps be paying more attention to full acrostics i.e., looking at the first letter of each word to form a separate sentence, or set of sentences, not just a name, as this book was a favourite of Francis Bacon.
 

Happy sleuthing 🕵🏻‍♂️ 🕵🏻‍♀️

I know all who contribute to this forum know about this famous book, but if you are reading from outside this is an indispensable guide to how information was encrypted in the 1600s. Many methods are still in use today.

It’s all in Latin, but flick through the pages and you’ll see all the grids and lots of other ways of encrypting info. 

Anyone who thinks that people who look for codes and cipher in Shakespeare are deluded or ‘conspiracy theorists’ will soon have to rethink when looking through this!

I  just remembered that I have an English Translation of Cryptomenytices Cryptographia that's been sitting in the top of my closet for years. Would be great if someone like John Torbert who digitized the entire  Baconiana Collection would be interested in doing the same. Anyone have any suggestions ? The three volumes together contain  under 600 pages. It belongs on sirbacon and archive.org.

Oh my gosh. What a goldmine!

Thanks Rob for pointing it out! .Yes it is the same material, I forgot that our Late and Great friend to sirbacon Glen Glaston from New Mexico, digitized the work and sent me the printed copy back that he borrowed. Glenn was a very interesting man who I met  for several days in Albuquerque  in 2006.  His actual name was Timothy Rayhel. You can read about him here

https://ciphermysteries.com/2014/07/20/obituary-timothy-rayhel-glen-claston-1957-2014

 

He was once in US Military Intelligence, loved motorcycles and of course was a great enthusiast of Francis Bacon. He  generously contributed  his time to meticulously  digitizing many other Bacon related works (Northumberland Manuscript book on sirbacon)  and at one time maintained his own  online Bacon B hive that was short lived. 

I believe it was Peter Dawkins' friend, Steve Marble who gave me my copy of  the printed English translation of Cryptomenytices  Cryptographia.

[Light-of-Truth]

Lawrence, I remember the name Glen Gaston when his early B'Hive was on SirBacon.org. 🙂

I tried to find the table of contents images you posted and couldn't find them in the online resource. They may be there, but I did a quick search and could not see anything. Your translated English version may be different with some valuable new material. It's worth a peek!

😉

 

 

[Kate]

Not sure where to put this on the forum, or what it’s taken from but I came across this the other day.  Nothing we don’t know, but good to collect everything in one place. It may even be from SirBacon.com? I found it on Pinterest when searching for something else. 

[Light-of-Truth]

One of the first books I read and one of my favorites!

"The Secret History Of Francis Bacon" by Dodd, Alfred

It may be the same book as Dodd's "The Personal Story of Francis Bacon".

[Kate]

When it comes to deciphering emblems and images there is an absolute treasure of a book from 1627 here. Scroll down the contents page

Book 2 is fascinating - but if you have time (it’s long) read the lot! It’s going to open up a whole new level of interpretation of the documents and writing from the era and prior.
 

It is called

BACON’S MUSICAL CYPHER
 

I am adding another cryptography tome to the topic thread. This one is from 1772 so it might seem too late for us, but he specifically mentions Bacon’s method.
