Dear Reader,
My work on this blog has stalled a bit (I mean, for almost 2 years now) 😅 but I really, really had to write this, because there is a new, absolutely ground-breaking project that needs funding — and the deadline is in two weeks!
The project I want to present you is Tom Oberon's The Tarot of Love, a beautiful work of Art and Occult Science that brings to us the legacy of a man whose research and discoveries have never seen the light of day — until now.
I'm talking about Edgar Joel Love, the man behind Cipher X.
Five years ago, when I wrote a series of articles dedicated to the Thelemic ciphers, I wrote one article where I talked specifically about Edgar Joel Love's Cipher X (a base-3 inversion of the ALW cipher), even though I also mentioned other ciphers in that article, like Leo Gillis' Trigrammaton Qabalah.
I must say that those articles are nothing but a very small shadow of the tremendous work these guys have done. However, there is one fundamental thing that distinguishes these two cases in particular: R. Leo Gillis is still alive, and the guy is still creating new things and making new discoveries, and sharing them publicly. His work is published and publicly acknowledged. Edgar Joel Love's work, however, has remained in almost absolute obscurity — and there is one man, Tom Oberon, who's working on making it public. This isn't just a Tarot, this isn't just another book. It's a legacy of love that is being shared with us, and I for one would very much like to see this ground-breaking material finally published. Tom Oberon deserves it, and I'm pretty sure that Edgar Joel Love would be proud of it.
So, if this strikes your interest, and if you, like me, want to see this treasure finally unearthed, so that the public finally knows about Edgar Joel Love's legacy, PLEASE support this project. Remember, there's only 15 days left!

As a final note, and as this is a blog dedicated to Gematria, I can't avoid noticing that the Tarot of Love is also called "Liber CXXXVII" (i.e. Book 137). And since Edgar Joel Love's Cipher X is deeply connected to English Qaballa (the "ALW" cipher), there is one numerical match that must be noted:

Thank you for reading this, and please support this independent initiative!
