PAN AND 131
In this article, we are going to discuss the number 131 and
its associations. 131 is most noteably the number of Pan in
both Greek and Hebrew Gematria value. For an occult view of
Pan, see "Hymn to Pan," in Magick in Theory and
Practice by Aleister Crowley. You will find information
on him in any general work on Greek mythology, and I highly
recommend Philippe Borgeaud's The Cult of Pan in Ancient
Greece. Pan is the phallic god of animal nature, known
to the Romans as Faunus and the Vedas as Pusan. He is half
man and half goat, or what we may call a satyr. He has been
adopted by the Christians for their concept of the
goat-headed "Devil." The concept is seen in Anton
Lavey's Baphomet Pentagram. The name Baphomet itself
transliterates to 131 in Hebrew values. (BPMT, thanks again,
Cliff.) 131 can also be seen as related to the pentagram by
reduction, as 1+3+1 = 5.
Much is made to do about Pan in the Fool chapter of Crowley's
Book of Thoth. He is attributed to both the Fool and
the Devil cards. An interesting Qabalistic formula can be
developed out of this connection . A Man (1+3+1=5=Man) made
naught (61) through association with the Devil (70), or
61+70 = 131. It would seem that Kenneth Grant has beaten
this one to death. One might see page 16 of Outside the
Circles of Time which actually paints an interesting
picture of the equation. Indeed this "Satanism"
overload may be necessary for overcoming such a Christian
guilt complex as Crowley, and probably Grant, had. It forms
a balance and overcomes by nullification. Those of us lucky
enough not ot have been conditioned with this horror of
guilt may find it somewhat silly.
Actually, it would be easy to say that Pan is God. His name
means "everything" in Greek, so he qualifies for
omniscience. The number of his card in the Tarot is XV,
which is the numerical value by Gematria of IH, or Jah, Yah.
Hish path is the 26th, which is the numerial value of IHVH,
the Tetragrammaton, or Jehovah/Yaweh. It all adds up,
however for those of us with a non-dualistic view, it is not
21,nism.
Let us look at the word "panic," or "panikon"
in Greek (The fear instilled by Pan). We can hop synonyms in
less than five moves to Worship. (using the Windsor Court
Thesaurus, by the way)
Panic = Consternation = Awe = Admiration = Worship.
This shows a progressive deterioration of an idea.
131 is also the number of Samael, the Poison of God, a title
of the Angel of Death. The Angel of Death is also known as
Azrael, the Peacock Angel (Melek Taus, blessed be He!) of
the Yezidis: "He who existed before all creatures is
the Peacock Angel." Azrael, however, is the god of the
Material World, not the Supernal, he was created by a god. I
may tell you from experience that the "Vision of the
Universal Peacock" is accompanied by rainbow flashes of
colours, cognate with the Fool's motley, and the Coat of
Many Colours (see Book of Thoth, p. 58.) This rainbow
is representative of all that is material. It is the Pure
White Light of the Supernals split by the prism of the
material. The Eyes, of course, correspond to Ayin, the
letter of the Devil card. Coincidentally, "peacocks"
in Hebrew is TVVSYM = 131.
Samael, or Poison of God, has the same consonental pattern
as "Small." (SMAL = 131) The Small is, of course,
Hadit, the infinitessimal point.

"If I lift up my
head,
I and my Nuit are one.
If I droop down mine head,
and shoot forth venom,
then is the rapture of the earth,
and I and the earth are one."
Liber Al - 1:26

Note that venom = poison = SM. We
see here the Fool/Devil connection spelled out in Hadit.
hadit is also motion, which brings us back to 5, as motion =
Geburah, the fifth Sephirah. Looking further we see that
Hadit in full is 555 (the number of the Phallus, see
Gematria note in Equinox of the Gods.) or 5 X 111.
Already having seen 5, we note that 111 is the number of
Aleph, the letter of the Fool card spelled in full.
Finally, 131 is the Grrek value of Mako, son of Set. The
Crocodile of Sebek who wears the Feather of Ma'at (see Book
of Thoth ...again... p. 59.) Personally, I think that
131 has been sorely neglected in the Thelemic canon of holy
numbers.
