As it is possible to see in the Cyril's Slavic alphabetic system there are 43 letters
that differs from 22 symbols of Phoenician writing or 33 letters of contemporary
Russian alphabet which precisely correspond with circular numerical matrix of
duodecimal numerology. But however eleven numerical axes and four circles form
44 positions or key points, that is near to number 43 and is comparable to letters of
Slavic alphabet, but one position is empty.
In some sources of information it is possible to find data on 44 characters in the
Slavic alphabet, namely about alphabetic sign
which in essence is a variant
of letter
. Or about alphabetic sign
which is a variant of letter
.
But however number of Cyrillic letters is not casual as Slavic alphabet has sacral
sense which forms metalinguistic azbuka, and consequently it is necessary to
consider 43 alphabetic characters, and to consider one empty position within
circular matrix of numerical signs of duodecimal numerology.
Different colors on the chart notes positions according to which Cyrillic letters
form symmetric and regular spatial geometrical figures.
Blue color notes Cyrillic letters
which form spatial figure which is
symmetric concerning first numerical axis of circular numerological matrix.
Letter
means SPIRIT or not created and general source of all real in the
context of Slavic alphabet.
Letter
means WOMB or organic realization of SPIRIT.
Letter
means INNERMOST or evidential sphere of actuality existing outside of
physical world in metaphysical space where objective reality of universe opens.
Combination of three philosophical meanings or names of three Cyrillic letters
explains mystical sense of SPIRIT which exists outside of physical reality, but has
manifestation as a result of organic embodiment.
Yellow color notes letters
which form geometrical figure which is
symmetric concerning tenth numerical axis.
Letter
means FATHER or one of three persons of divine Trinity in which there
is existence of SPIRIT and SON who correspond with names or mystical meanings
of Cyrillic characters
and .
Letter
means HIDDEN or limiting veil which separates visible material world
from hidden space of metaphysical or supernatural reality.
Letter
means ETERNITY.
Combination of three philosophical meanings or metalinguistic values explains
mystical sense of FATHER who is eternal and hidden, or otherwise to tell
incomprehensible for human understanding.
Green color notes Cyrillic letters
which form symmetric spatial
figure concerning eleventh numerical axis of circular matrix of duodecimal
numerology.
Letter
means SON or generating spiritual beginning which is the third person of
divine Trinity.
Letter
means SPIRITUALIZATION or overcoming of limiting veil between
visible world and metaphysical supernatural reality.
Letter
means BELIEF.
Combination of three philosophical values explains mystical sense of SON who is
the key person of divine Trinity, because the Christ personifies BELIEF which
allows to overcome limiting veil between physical world and metaphysical reality.
In total shown symmetric and regular figures are formed by letters
numerology and scale of mathematical notation are caused by volition and reason
of people which created writing characters of human civilization. But also it is
possible to assume that positions of letters are caused by mentality which are not
connected with volition of people, namely which is initiated by celestial
consciousness or otherwise to tell divine reason according to which universal laws
of world reality and rules of cosmic harmony have been displayed in graphical
symbols of various alphabetic systems of mankind. In essence it is possible to
assume that heavenly beings by means of letters have created sacral cithers or
esoteric codes in which not only phonetic values and acoustic parameters of human
speech but also divine principles and mystical purposes of a human life are fixed.

Imena slova chitana redom daju sledec'i smisao: Prva misao
posvec'ena je BOGU . Druga misao se odnosi na najvec'i dar, koji choveka
uzdizhe iznad svih drugih zhivih bic'a, a to je RECH . A rech je DOBRO, ona
potiche od Boga i kao takva mora da se poshtuje; ona je istovremeno radost,
jer olakshava odnos choveka prema choveku. Drugo ljudsko dobro
jeste ZEMLJA , od chijih plodova treba da se ZHIVI . No chovek nije na
zemlji samo zato da zhivi fizichki, kao zhivotinja, vec' u prvom redu zato,
da chovechanski MISLI , a chovechanski misliti i dobro govoriti, to
donosi unutrashnji mir spokojstvo . A chovek chovechan, spokojan i
oplemenjen lepom rechju, koju prati uzvishen osec'aj pripadnosti jednoj
produhovljenoj zajednici, takav chovek drzhi do svoje rechi, koja mora
biti chvrsta . Iznad svega toga stoji u neku ruku kao kruna ono, shto je
formulisano
s

tri
rechi: AZ BOG VID ,
koji
sve
to VIDIM , chujem i osec'am ,
pa
prema
tome
znam ; VID predstavlja vrhovno saznanje o SVEMIRU , u kome
je ZEMLJA i dotle, dok chovek bude poshtovao svojom MISHLJU i
svojom rechju zakone, koje je sam on ustanovio i nad kojima
on(a?) bdije, sve c'e biti DOBRO . Medjutim, uzmakne li se pred silama
mraka, ne poshtujuc'i vishe ni BOGA , ni RECH , ni MISAO , niZEMLJU ,
koja donosi plodove kroz predan rad chovechanstvo c'e se duhovno
strmoglaviti...
Kroz prastaru srpsku azbuku, dakle izrazhena je cela filozofija
srpskog choveka: njegov odnos prema Bogu, prema ljudima, koji su svi za
njega bili brac'a, njegov odnos prema ZEMLJI, majci hraniteljki... (Srbi...

Phonetic parameters of letters in the table are not detailed, as there can be realized
more significant linguistic analysis of Slavonic languages which have been put in
the basis of alphabetic system of Cyrillic azbuka, that I cannot do, as I am not an
expert in the field of scientific linguistics.

symbols but also as mathematical signs which designate sound waves. Actually
letters of alphabets can be considered as symbols of physical phenomena which
possess mathematical sizes, and also correspond with numbers in numerology. Or
otherwise to tell correspond with numerical sizes which mean universal principles
and global laws according to which global space of the world validity is organized.
Quantities of letters in different alphabets are not equal. But in any case alphabetic
systems can be considered as sets of written signs which designate sounding of
acoustic waves and physical parameters of human speech sounds, that allows to
correlate letters to numbers in numerology or otherwise to tell with nominal
symbols of sacral mathematics of world space. Though different alphabetic
systems are necessary for correlating to different mathematical scales of notation
which from the view point of numerology mean different ratios of numbers with
global laws of universe, as each alphabet possesses own individual order or set of
letters.
Slavic alphabet of Cyril and Methodius has 43 letters, that is unique and sacral
number as if to sum 43 and 21 or quantities of alphabetic signs in Cyrillic and
primary Latin alphabets then will be 43+21=64, that is equal to quantity of
hexagrams in the ancient Chinese canon of changes i-jing which too is sign system
of symbols having esoteric connection with global structures of world space.
Look detail information on letters of Latin alphabet further on this page, also look
data on the sacral sum 21+43=64 and hexagrams of the ancient Chinese canon of
changes i-jing on pages of other website: www.emotions.64g.ru/apf/apf1en.htm.
The sacral sum 21+43=64 is very interesting from the view point of linguistics and
numerology, as there is an opinion that hexagrams in the Chinese Book of Changes
i-jing are symbols of very ancient or unknown esoteric alphabet, and in essence
are alphabetic numerical system.
Also pay attention that number 21 corresponds with quantity of playing tiles of the
Chinese dominoes, short of repeating digital combinations. As game set of the
Chinese dominoes develop of 21 basic combinations of digits from 1 to 5, and
eleven additional playing tiles with digital combinations which are repeating for
some basic, namely 21+11=32.
Besides pay attention to the sums 21+21+1=43 and 21+11+11=43 at which too
there are sacral numbers, and in particular number 11 which is establishing for
ancient Phoenician writing which has 22 characters (11+11=22), and also for
contemporary Russian alphabetic system which has 33 letters (11+11+11=33).
And also pay attention that sacral number 11 is astronomical duration of
chronological cycles of solar activity.
It is impossible to assert that Cyril and Methodius were guided by sacral numbers
and esoteric knowledge about numerological laws of world space during creation
of Slavic alphabet, but nevertheless they have as a result unique quantity of letters.
It is possible to assume that Cyril and Methodius calculated letters not only
according to sounds of speech in Slavonic languages, but also they considered the
calendar period which called as Septuagesima and now is known in Catholic
liturgy, and consequently the number of letters in Slavic alphabetic system has
been established sacral. Namely Septuagesima is the ninth Sunday before Easter or
the third Sunday before the beginning of Great Lent. Total three weeks or 3x7=21
days up to the Great Lent and six weeks or 6x7=42 days of the Great Lent in the
sum have duration 21+42=63. If to consider one day of Easter then calendar period
from Septuagesima till Easter includes 63+1=64 days, that is equal to number of
hexagrams in the ancient Chinese canon of changes i-jing.
Hence, Cyril and Methodius have compared letters of Slavic alphabet to six weeks
of the Great Lent and one day of Easter (42+1=43). And three weeks from
Septuagesima up to the Great Lent (3x7=21) they have compared with Latin
alphabetic system, that has proved numerological coordination of Latin and Slavic
alphabets, and also validity of translation of the Bible on languages of Slavs.
Now the liturgical periods of Orthodox and Catholic churches differ. Because
liturgical Easter period proceeds 70 days in orthodox Church, namely 3 weeks
before the beginning and 6 weeks of the Great Lent, and plus Holy Week, but
during creation of Slavic alphabet in the ninth century of new era there were no
distinctions between Orthodox and Catholic Churchs.
Besides sacral number 43 corresponds with the calendar period which consists of
six weeks (6x7=42+1=43), that corresponds with time from Great Friday or Jesus
Christ's Crucifixion till Ascension Day (40 days after Easter Resurrection).
Namely 3 days before and 40 days after Easter Resurrection till Ascension Day,
and in aggregate sacral number 43.
Now in the Latin alphabet there are 26 letters: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P
Q R S T U V W X Y Z, but original or initial alphabetic system had 21 characters:
A B C D E F Z H I K L M N O P Q R S T V X.
Letter Z was excluded on 312 BC but then in 1st century BC was added together
with Y for records of the Greek origin words.
Letter G was added on 234 BC.
Letters J and U were added in the sixteenth century AD.
And also contemporary Latin alphabetic system has letter W which is necessary for
German and English languages.
If to consider that Cyril and Methodius created Slavic alphabetic system on 9
century of new era then Latin alphabet at that time had 23 letters: A B C D E F G
H I K L M N O P Q R S T V X Y Z among which 21 were own or otherwise to tell
original, and two Y and Z were necessary for records of Greek origin words.
Therefore Cyril and Methodius considered 21 Latin letters during linguistic
coordination with the created Slavic alphabet, and did not consider two Greek
alphabetic characters. Namely Latin alphabet occurs from alphabetic system of the
Ancient Greece and consequently two Greek letters were not considered as Latin.
The Greek alphabet is basic or establishing for Latin and Cyrillic alphabetic
systems, and is derivative from the ancient Phoenician writing which can be seen
in the table.
The table shows graphic symbols and names of 22 Phoenician letters, and also
numerical values which correspond to ancient duodecimal system of mathematical
notation which differ from contemporary scale of decimal numbers. Namely signs
X and Y designate duodecimal ciphers which are absent in modern decimal
mathematical scale, and also absent in classical numerology of nine numbers.
It is possible to assume that in ancient Phoenicia there was duodecimal notation
and numerology in which there were eleven numbers, namely 22 letters was not
only alphabetic signs but also numerical symbols. Top horizontal row of 11 letters
in the table designated duodecimal digital units, and bottom row designated dozens
which differ from units by zeros, though zero as graphical sign in ancient
numerical systems was absent as numbers had writing by letters.
Now we know nothing about ancient Phoenician scale of mathematical notation.
But there are bases to assume that in the ancient world there were systems of
calculations in which there were 11 numbers as Phoenician writing has 22 letters.
Namely as actual in contemporary mathematics and numerology we have decimal
numerical system (nine ciphers and zero) which is indirectly connected with
quantity of fingers on human hands, and in essence corresponds with quantity of
cells in the magic square which has three verticals and horizontals, namely 33=9.
But however there are facts which specify existence of duodecimal (eleven ciphers
and zero) mathematical scale.
All letters of Phoenician writing are consonants, but ALETH and AIN can
designate vowel sounds of speech.
Greeks adopted Phoenician writing, but have added letters for vowel phonemes
which are necessary for Greek language. And also Greeks have compared
alphabetic symbols with decimal numerical notation, that is shown in the following
table.
Also the table shows Slavic letters which have been compared by Cyril and
Methodius to the Greek alphabetic symbols.
Look logical principles and linguistic rules for arrangements of Russian letters in
the shown alphabetic-numerical matrix on parallel Russian page of this website.
Actually it is necessary to consider ratio of letters with acoustic parameters of
speech sounds that alphabetic symbols could be correctly correlated with numerical
sizes which mean universal physical and mathematical laws according to which the
world space is organized. And the shown table is only prospective comparison of
contemporary Russian alphabet with numerological matrix of classical Greek
alphabetic system.
Look other prospective ratio of modern Russian alphabetic symbols with decimal
numbers and classical characters of the Greek alphabet on pages of this website
in section which has the name: letters of gods.
Similarly letters of other languages and alphabets can be compared with classical
Greek alphabetic matrix if it is necessary for calculations of numerical values and
analysis of metalinguistic senses of words or human names in a context of
numerology.
For example, combination of letters SH in the context of English language can be
included in order of alphabetic symbols and can be compared to the Slavic
character . As a result 26 English characters and combination of letters SH can be
compared to 27 cells of classical Greek alphabetic matrix and numbers of decimal
scale of mathematical notation.
The English alphabet is derivative from ancient Latin alphabetic system in which
designations of numbers or otherwise to tell Roman ciphers are only some letters,
namely IVXLCDM. But it is possible to correlate Latin letters and combinations of
graphical characters with classical alphabetic matrix of the Ancient Greece for
calculations of numerical meanings of words and names in numerology.
Or 21 letters of the primary Latin alphabet can be correlated with numerical matrix
Besides this table shows 22 graphical characters of the Jewish alphabetic system,
and also names and numerical values according to which Hebrew letters form socalled Kabalistic or Cabbalistic alphabet.
Numerical values of Jewish or Hebrew letters correspond with decimal scale of
mathematical notation, but are located within numerical matrix of octal system of
calculations, that allows to see logical contradictions or otherwise to tell discords
of numbers. And also it allows to see absence of regular and correct ratio of Jewish

checking the influence of Byzantine power. Over the next two hundred years
Glagolitic once again spread northward. It made its way to the court scribes of
Vladimir I and the newly established monasteries of Kievan-Rus in 990. In
1248, Pope Innocent IV granted the Croatian the clergy of
southern Dalmatia the unique privilege of using the script to write Roman
Rite liturgy. Here an angular version of Glagolitic called Uglata was
developed. This is the script I will be referencing here in this analysis.
As many of you know, I am a Slavic heathen and witch. That said, my
heathenry and my craft is informed primarily by the west Balkan experience.
Naturally, the unique preservation of the Glagolitic script in this region has
always fascinated me. I felt compelled to explore this in greater depth. Like the
the hebrew aleph-beth or germanic runes, Glagolitic is a system full of
esoteric symbolism and magical potential. Each letter is both a word and a
number. The task of decoding the letters seemed dauntingly confusing
however. First, there are several variations of the script (Bulgarian,
Macedonian, Croatian, Ukrainian, ect), some with up to forty characters or
more. Nevertheless, I had this topic on my to-do list for well over a year but
had no clue how to approach it. At some point I recall sitting down and praying
for guidance. I opened up my secret book where I had hand drawn the letters
along with their phonetics, meanings and correspondences. I noticed the
Rider-Waite Tarot deck tucked away in the corner. There I caught a moment of
inspiration. I thumbed through each letter in the book and recalled the
corresponding Tarot card, beginning of course with the major arcana. Slowly a
pattern began to emerge. Spellbound I continued to pour over the symbols,
cross-referencing, analyzing and reanalyzing. Something visceral was
suddenly emerging like I had awoke to find myself having fallen asleep atop
an endless pile of gold only to notice the piercing eye of a massive dragon
starring at me as I pan back my field of vision. Could Glagolitic contain the
secrets of a long forgotten, Slavonic christian mystery tradition?
apparent similarities with the Tarot, I point that out too. I did not attempt to
locate a card correspondence for each and every letter, as it is not my
intention to graft the Tarot onto Glagolitic. My area of focus was determine
whether or not Glagolitic possessed the element of magical intent. If so, it
surely has a narrative of its own, perhaps one colored in a unique way by the
people who first conceived of it. Please refer to the Rider-Waite deck as that is
the one with which I make reference to.
Glagojlica Uglata
mouth. Here we find a fine motif for the regenerative power of the earth that
simultaneously gives and takes life away. Notice too that the infinity symbol,
present in the Tarot card, is reflected diagonally in this Glagolitic letter. The
curved ligature at the bottom indicates that an infernal power resides below
the terrestrial power.
goddess Zaria, who like Lady Justice, wielded a sword, and to whom warriors
are said to have made sacrifices at dawn. Together they symbolize the liminal
boundary between night and day, as well as the metaphorical hedge
separating urban civil and rustic wild societies. Both goddess were
associated with the planet Venus and together they may well represent
the Zoryas as understood in Russia; personifications of the morning and
evening star.
Whereas Na (ours) says we are our deeds, Onseems to add the caveat we
are our wounds. Who are you really? This might correspond to Stribog, the
destructive side of Perun, whose lightening bolts could take life at a moments
notice, perhaps causing catastrophic fires.
Slovo means letter or sign. This is the clear visual abstraction that
corresponds to the previous audible one. The sun then seems appropriate
here and the top ligature has a very solar appearance. Although Dabog is
considered the chief solar god, the sun-fire itself was called Sunce. She was a
female deity in Baltic religion, though it seems Dabog supplanted her in this
role among Slavs during the migration period. What sign or symbol is more
iconic than the sun?
Frt | F (Eng. ?)
This letters translation is uncertain, but what is certain is its identity. It is
identical to the Cyrillic letter F and the Greek letter Phi and thus was likely
borrowed from these alphabets at a later date. This may be due in part to the
fact the original Slavic language had very little use for this letters phonetics
and many of the F-words (no pun!) that appear in Slavic languages today are
in fact loan words from other languages. (My comparative analysis of
Glagolitic with the Tarot ends here)
Ot | (Eng. from)
This letter means from in most Slavic languages and the circular shape is no
different from its Cyrillic, Latin and Greek counterparts, save from its stylized
Ci | Ts (Eng. ??)
Ci is of uncertain translation but some have connected it to the word
tsar which is a Slavic appellation of the Latin caesar, meaning ruler. Since
the Croats have a heavy Alanic influence their native equivalent kralj is
etymologically linked to the Persian language, so I am unsure about this
translation. Looking at the shape we find the curved, tear-drop ligature present
on many of the Glagolitic letters such
as Glaglju (sound), Zemlja (earth),Dzelo (many), erv (wood), Na (our), On (
his/her), Rei (speak) and Uk (end). Beyond these observations, I can find no
obvious esoteric interpretation.
rv | Ch (Eng. worm)
This letter means worm in most Slavic languages. It appears similar to ta in
a lot of ways with the middle ligature split in two, fanning to either side like the
forked tongue of a snake creating an enclosure within the trident. The base
resembles Ot and thus the snake/ouroboros symbolism is obvious. I connect
this letter withzmaje, the dragons of Slavic folklore. These are the monsters
who threaten the order imposed by the gods of the Slavic Trimirti.
Jerj might connect to the Serbo-Croatian word for by. It is pronounced YUH
and is used to spell words like lasagna. Again, this is the letter I with a
ligature on the left-hand side except it forms a box. This letter might speak to
the who? question of the Slavonic mysteries. This, to me, is a symbol
for Prav.
