32


With respect to this alphabet’s architectural underpinnings, a geometer might appreciate how 32 is the maximal number of regions into which 6 circles can divide a plane, or an alchemist may revel in the clever play upon the cryptic glyphs of their Craft’s symbolic legacy. There is something here for the musician too. And the astrologer.  In fact, further down this rabbit hole is an insight to the heart of ancient wisdom, posed as pun and allegory in the sacred writings of old.

A light upon the waters deep, and a sword of fire.
