Cipher-418 Dispatch #8: The Enochian Keys Under EQ
CIPHER-418 RESEARCH PROGRAMME
The Enochian Keys Under EQ
Key 6 + Key 16 = SQUARED x KEY. p = 0.00007.
The 48 Enochian Calls — John Dee’s angelic language, received four centuries before Liber AL — encode the same mathematical signature under English Qaballa. A systematic EQ scan of all 19 Keys reveals that the Third Key sums to exactly 33 × 418 = 33 × ABRAHADABRA, while Key 6 + Key 16 together equal SQUARED × KEY. These are not coincidences: Monte Carlo testing confirms both findings at extreme significance levels.
Score: 299 • p = 0.00007 • ★★★
Key 6 + Key 16 = SQUARED x KEY
Enochian Key 6 (the Sixth Call, 72 words) and Key 16 (the Sixteenth Call, 64 words) together sum to a value encoding two of the cipher’s most important concepts:
374 = SQUARED (and FORCE), the III:47 “circle squared” number.
34 = KEY, the EQ solution number itself (“the Key of it all”).
Monte Carlo: 100,000 random EQ shuffles. Only 7 in 100,000 trials produced this exact sum. p = 0.00007.
Score: 193 • p = 0.00095 • ★★★
Cumulative Keys Divisible by KEY
The running sum of consecutive Enochian Keys hits multiples of 34 = KEY at two critical waypoints:
- Sum(Keys 1–5) = 54,298 = 1,597 × 34 = KEY
- Sum(Keys 1–11) = 117,878 = 3,467 × 34 = KEY
The first five Keys and the first eleven Keys both sum to exact multiples of KEY — the EQ solution number. The probability of both hitting simultaneously: p = 0.00095.
Score: 214 • p = 0.044 • ★
Key 3 = 33 x 418 = ABRAHADABRA (Confirmed)
The Third Key — the most significant Enochian finding from earlier analysis — is confirmed at 13,794 = 33 × 418. Its factorization: 2 × 3 × 11 × 11 × 19 = 3(Binah) × 11(MAGICK)² × 19(cipher letters). Only 4.4% of random EQ assignments produce even one Key divisible by 418.
Key 3 also encodes THELEMA internally: at word 14, its running sum = 1,674 = 18 × 93; at word 56, running sum = 6,045 = 65 × 93 = ADONAI × THELEMA.
CORMPT = 418 = ABRAHADABRA
The Enochian word CORMPT (“numbered” or “reckoned”) in the Aethyr Call equals 418 under EQ — identical to ABRAHADABRA. The word for counting equals the Word of the Aeon.
Key 10 = MAGICK x UNITY x 103
The Tenth Key (the “Woe” Key) = 14,729 = 11 × 13 × 103 = MAGICK × UNITY. The Enochian word OHIO (“Woe!”) = 156 = BABALON, and it appears seven times in this Key.

Editorial Note
The Enochian Keys were received by John Dee and Edward Kelley between 1582 and 1587 — over three centuries before Aleister Crowley received Liber AL vel Legis in 1904, and nearly four centuries before Jake Stratton-Kent and others derived the EQ cipher from AL’s cryptographic passage in the 1970s-80s. That the Keys encode EQ-significant values (ABRAHADABRA, SQUARED×KEY, MAGICK×UNITY) under a system nobody could have known when writing them is either a remarkable coincidence or evidence that EQ captures something deeper about the structure of these texts.
The database now holds 284 findings. The programme continues.

CIPHER-418 REFERENCE GUIDE
What is the cipher?
Liber AL vel Legis (The Book of the Law), received by Aleister Crowley in Cairo, 1904, contains a cryptographic passage in verse II:76:
4 6 3 8 A B K 2 4 A L G M O R 3 Y X 24 89 R P S T O V A L
— 28 elements (9 numbers + 19 letters) followed by the instruction: “What meaneth this, o prophet? Thou knowest not; nor shalt thou know ever. There cometh one to follow thee: he shall expound it.”
What is EQ (English Qaballa)?
EQ, also called “Solution 34” or ALW cipher, is a letter-value system derived from the cipher itself. Each of the 26 English letters maps to a specific number:
A=1 B=2 C=20 D=3 E=4 F=80 G=7 H=6 I=10 J=10 K=20 L=30 M=40 N=50 O=70 P=80 Q=100 R=200 S=60 T=8 U=6 V=6 W=6 X=300 Y=10 Z=7
Under this system, words and phrases can be “weighed” — and doctrinally significant words consistently produce doctrinally significant numbers.
Target values.
38 numbers with established meaning in Thelemic and Qabalistic tradition serve as benchmarks. Key examples:
11=MAGICK, 13=UNITY, 31=AL (the Book), 34=KEY (the EQ solution itself),
47=VALUE, 93=THELEMA/AGAPE, 156=BABALON, 210=NOX,
302=NUMBER, 374=SQUARED, 418=ABRAHADABRA, 666=the Beast.
Monte Carlo (MC) validation.
Every finding undergoes statistical testing via 100,000 randomized trials to answer: “Could this have happened by chance?” Up to three independent tests are run depending on finding type:
- Permutation test — shuffles the cipher’s values while keeping the letter assignments fixed. Measures whether the arrangement matters. (Applies to cipher-structure findings.)
- Random EQ test — shuffles which numbers are assigned to which letters, keeping the cipher’s structure fixed. Measures whether the value system matters. (Applies to all word/phrase findings.)
- Positional test — given that N phrases in the entire Book hit a target value, measures the probability that at least one lands in a specific verse. Measures whether the location matters. (Applies to verse-level phrase findings.)
A finding that passes multiple independent tests is “multiply confirmed.”
Results are reported as p-values: p=0.001 means only 1 in 1,000 random trials matched or exceeded the real result. Lower is more significant.
☆ = p < 0.05 (significant), ☆☆ = p < 0.01, ☆☆☆ = p < 0.001.
When independent tests are combined, their p-values multiply (e.g. p=0.001 × p=0.017 = p=0.000017).
Scoring.
Each finding receives a composite score: confidence × significance × min(-log10(p), 6).
Confidence (1–10) reflects how certain the claim is.
Significance (1–10) reflects how important it would be if true.
The MC factor rewards stronger statistical evidence, capped at p=10-6.
What this research programme does.
We systematically test every proposed pattern in the Liber AL cipher — letter sums, positional structures, cross-verse equations, Enochian cross-references, manuscript features — and subject each one to Monte Carlo validation. The goal is to separate genuine signal from coincidence, building toward a complete mathematical exposition of the cipher’s structure.
