Magical formula

[1] They are words whose meaning illustrates principles and degrees of understanding that are often difficult to relay using other forms of speech or writing.

It is a concise means to communicate very abstract information through the medium of a word or phrase.

However, when deconstructed, each individual letter may refer to some universal concept found in the system in which the formula appears.

A formula's potency is understood and made usable by the magician only through prolonged meditation on its levels of meaning.

[citation needed] Since most of these permutative arrangements have their origin in Hermetic Qabalah, many of the formulae listed below can be best understood by using various techniques of Hebrew Kabbalah such as gematria (or isopsephy), temurah, and notariqon to analyze them.
