Everything is illusion. The greatest Lights are not found “in the heavens” or the “spiritual.” They are buried deep within the material world. So let us follow Alice, leaving the superficial to journey into what is profound, into the interior of things.

V.I.T.R.I.O.L. stands for “Visita Interiora Terrae Rectificando Invenies Occultum Lapidem,” meaning: “Visit the interior of the earth, and by rectifying, you will find the hidden stone.”

Gematria = 271

541 is the 100th prime number and the 10th star number, making Israel a “starred name.”
The hexagon is connected to materiality, the matrix, and the forces of nature (molecules and atoms often take a hexagonal shape due to their covalent bonds). To break free from the matrix, we must refine the material world, rectify our character, and “polish the rough stone.”

The Stone is connected to the Rooster. In Gaulish, “Gal” / “Gallos” means “Stone,” and gave rise to the word “Galet” (pebble). “Gal” also signifies what is “Hard,” “Strong,” “Powerful,” what “Cries out.”
This root reappears in the Latin word “Gallus,” which means both “Rooster” and “Gaul.”
The symbol of Gaul is the Rooster, “Tarnegol” in Hebrew. The rooster has Binah, it is the first to distinguish day from night.

The gematria of the root GaL (related, in Hebrew, to “Revelation” as in “Guilouy”) is 33, which is also the international dialing code for France.
