Default 777
Just curious, anyone know why Crowley's tables are together in a book called 777? What is the significance of the number? I know 7 itself is an important number in many ways; self mastery / perfection, divinity, alchemy, string theory, Kabbalah, etc... But why three 7s?

I don't think so, especially since it is reasonable to think 666 represented the sun, creation, perfection, or some other less Christian ideal to Crowley.

He was an attention-seeking narcissist, and a showman, and he knew his audience very well. If you read the intro to Magick In Theory And Practice it is clear that his views could be stated in very ordinary terms. But that would have been ignored.

I agree, I am not a big Crowley fan any more these days. I took what I needed and moved on. While he may have been a great occultist in many ways, the level he existed at was still highly pretentious.

Interesting question. Perhaps it's the symbol (not the number refference) of it which has a significance. In the beginning it was various "symbols". It looks like symbols of a few doors next to each other in a strange way.

Mine was never 777... it is 77. This I have had for years. It is there everytime a new opportunity or change is about to present itself...or its always on things I find important. I don't understand the connection, not sure if I even care to...

Fun fact: ever since I was a little kid, 9 has been favorite numbers of mine. Nine is the number of Satan.

Because 7 is seen as the number of God by some Abrahamics, and it's spoofing 666.

666 and/or 616 is a fancy code way of saying Nero. the Christian book of Revelation was a political allegory. Or if you like, it's the number of Satan. Crowley thought that he was The Beast spoken of in Revelation, he actually reveled in that. All his mistresses took the title of The Scarlet Woman from the same Christian book, annnnnnd.... let's not even get into the Whore of Babylon and Babalon (spelling is correct).

The guy was obsessed with The Book of Revelation.

I could be remembering this wrong, but I thought that I read somewhere that 777 was Crowley's full name, numerologically. The sum of his first name being 7, and his middle being 7 and his last being 7.

And I definitely remember reading somewhere that his mother would call him The Beast as a child. But yeah, still refering to the one in Revelations.

That could be true on 777, but I assumed it was in reference to 666. Not sure; I'd need to research a little and see how it works out numerologically
