Hail, Mari(y)... Here's (22) to You...

Well, I see that the 22nd day of July (7/22) is labeled, or known, as the 'Feast Day of Mary Magdalene;' this is an interesting bit of news, since the number 22 is associated in many ways with Mary, the Magdalene (or her various representations), especially in connection with the site of Rennes-le-Chateau, which we seem to keep returning to, among others... like Marseilles.
And speaking of Marseilles, I would like to make a toast to that City tonight... and later on, I will. For now, let's look at the number 22 and the meanings associated with it; happily, it will even tie in to the Rosslyn Chapel thread (who'd have guessed, right?), and probably even that stairway everybody keeps going on about...
The number 22 appears to have a special significance in relation to Rennes-le-Château:
- 22nd July is Mary Magdalene’s Feast day
- 22nd January 1917, Bérenger Saunière died
- Tour Magdala and the garden are linked by 22 steps
- Tour Magdala has 22 steps leading to the top
- There are 22 battlements on top of the Tour Magdala
- The lone window in, Tour Magdala, which is pointed to by an anomalous floor tile at the base of the Tour Magdala, in turn points unambiguously at a grotto approximately a mile in the distance, which is named ‘The Burial Site of Mary Magdalene’ (remember, her feast day is 22) and is offset from the grotto by 22 degrees (south of west)
- Marie Dénarnaud sold the Saunière estate to the Corbu’s on 22nd July 1946
- The famous Latin inscription over the door of Abbé Saunière’s church of Saint Mary Magdalene, “Terribilis est locus iste”, (This place is Terrible), has 22 letters. If spelled correctly, it has 23 Latin letters.
- the Hebrew alphabet has 22 letters
- the skull above the entrance to the graveyard has 22 teeth

Now, the last bit is bolded, because, if you'll remember from the 'Foo' thread, the Hebrew letter 'shin' (as shown in the cartoon clip... lol...) has the meaning of 'tooth.' Well... you know...
It is also significant that the Hebrew alphabet has 22 letters, since it is my own 'feeling' that the 'Word' that was in the beginning with 'God,' and WAS, indeed, 'God,' could be none other than his 'female' half, which made 'generation' possible... and without 'It' was nothing created that was created...
So... did 'Eve' write the book of Genesis, as I've heard that another internet forum poster has evidently postulated? It looks as if that may be pretty much the Truth of it... and subsequent editings and agendas have misplaced, or buried, that 'Word,' just as it is said; she should know, since 'she' was there from the beginning, and let's 'face' it, who else was around that would? But why did things happen the way that they did...? And what exactly was the Nature of what did actually happen, anyway? The interpretation of those events has always seemed a bit confusing, hasn't it....? Talking serpents, and trees, and naked men and women, and... then we were doomed. Somehow. And somehow it all merited 'Hell;' it's enough to make 'God' look kind of arbitrary, if not somewhat ludicrous, and that is... a real shame.
I think maybe we could use a fresh translation of things... well, let's think about this...
The Hebrew alphabet is made up of 22 letters, which are used to compose the Word of God. The word of God is called a lamp (Psalms 119:105, Proverbs 6:22), thus it is the light by which we are to live. The word light is found 264 times in Scripture. When 264 is divided by 12 (divine authority) we have twenty-two, which represents light.
God created twenty-two things in the six days of creation.
There are twenty-two books in the Aaronic (Levitical) Old Testament, which is the light of God for Israel. There are twenty-two generations from Adam to Jacob. When Moses raised up the tabernacle of God there were exactly 22,000 Levites consecrated to serve.
Light is used twenty-two times in the Gospel of John. The 22nd time John uses the word, he quotes Jesus: "I have come as a light into the world . . ." (John 12:46).
Although most modern translations list 39 books for the Old Testament, the number of originally inspired books finalized by Ezra the prophet and the Great Assembly is twenty-two. This number of canonized books or manuscripts corresponds to the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet...
Jesus is said to have quoted from 22 Old Testament books...
www.biblestudy.org/bibleref/meaning-of-numbers-in-bible/22.html
So... what am I getting out of this bit of information? First, I can't help remembering that God's first 'Words' or, 'expression' of Himself, was "Let there be Light..."
And the 'Light-bringer,' or 'Light Giver' was... who, exactly?
The 'light' of 'God,' or 'lamp' is the 'Shekinah,' isn't it...? I believe that it is. Of course, I tend to believe a lot of crazy things...
And, conversely, (lol again) 22 can represent the 'worst' that things can be... the 'good' and the 'evil.' All rolled into One...
And, there's more...
22 -
Represents the movement, the infinity.
Symbol of the manifestation of the being in its diversity and its history.
Represent the creation, which is the manifestation of the 21, according to R. Allendy. It is amongst other things the sigificance of the "principle of differentiation, 2, being added to the initial differentiation of the Cosmos 20 to subdivide the parts and to generate, by this means, the complex mechanism of the nature - 2 + 2 = 4. (...) With 22, we see the play of the opposite particular initiative - 22 = 11 x 2 -, to balance in the natural mechanism".
Symbolizes the end of a cycle, and for the man, the end of the obligatory reincarnations on the earth.
The 22 chapters of the Revelation of John, totaling 405 verses. This current distribution in 22 chapters originates from Stephen Langton, used since the 13th century, as for all the remainder of the New Testament. Let us note that the Revelation book has also on the whole 405 numbers written in their ordinal or cardinal form: 136 cardinal numbers greater than 1, 59 ordinal numbers greater than 1, 193 times the number 1 in the cardinal form and 17 times the number 1 in the ordinal form.
Before to die, Jesus exclaimed "Eli Eli lama sabactani" which is the beginning of the psalm 22.
The alphabetical psalms of which the poetries (Ps 111 and 112), stanzas (Ps 37 and 119) or verses (Ps 145), are indicated by each of the twenty-two Hebraic letters.
The 22 elements by which God created the world.
The Word of God is at the 22th level of conscience. The cosmic conscience would subdivide indeed into 24 dimensional or spiritual levels. The maximal conscience level, the 24th, would be attributable only to the God-Father and the 23th level would be considered as being an energy protective area surrounding the level 24. The 22th level of conscience would be also that of the antique Elohim also named the 24 Ancients.
Twenty-two is the number of biblical books of the Old Testament - Hebrews and Protestants. This number is obtained by counting for only one book the twelve minor prophets, as well as the Judges, the Kings, Ezra, the Chronicles (each one being generally divided into two books). It is also necessary to integrate Ruth with the Judges and the Lamentations with Jeremiah. And it is thanks to this last restriction that we obtain finally 22 instead of 24. Flavius Joseph (Against Apion, I, 8, 1st s.) is the first one to have proposed a distribution in 22 books.
The Mezuzah contains fifteen verses of the last book the Old Testament, the Deuteronomy, VI, 4-9 and XI, 13-21, for a total of 170 words, always written in 22 lines. This small roll is inserted in a tube of wood or metal and is attached to the superior right side on the frame of a door, according to the commandment of the Bible: "And you will write them on the frame of the door of your house" .
The Chronos god was surrounded by 22 main assistants and 22 secondary, according to the Phoenician Sanchoniaton.
For the Muslives, the Koran is the recording of the oral revelation authorized by the grace of God to the Prophet of Islam during almost 22 years, in the beginning of the seventh century of the Christian era - from 610 to 632.
According to S. Doucet and J.-P. Larosee, the man is composed twenty-two evolutionary bodies gathered in four categories: subtle body, energy body, galactic body and temporal body. Each one of these 22 bodies is formed of 1296 "partitions" that they call circumferences, vibrating each one at a precise frequency. This number 1296 is called "Energizing number", since it is the product of 12 (Cosmic number) and 108 (Universal number). By multiplying 22 by 1296, they obtain the total number of 28512 circumferences composing the 22 evolutionary bodies of the man, that is according to them the number of the man and also that of Infinite Energy.
Several old alphabets had twenty-two letters: Chaldean, Sabean, Roman, Copt and Hebraic. The letters of the Hebraic alphabet are divided into three mother letters (Aleph, Mem, Shin), seven double letters (Beth, Guimel, Daleth, Kaph, Phe, Resh, Tau) twelve simple letters (He, Waw, Zain, Heth, Teth, Yod, Lamed, Nun, Samekh, Ayin, Tzade, Qoph).
According to saint Yves of Alveydre, the primitive alphabet of all the humanity, at the period of "Ram" (adam alphabet or "Watan"), would have comprised 22 signs.
Salemi points out that the Hebrew Candelabra includes 22 chalices, 22 apples and 22 flowers by counting the point superior of the axis.
"From the twenty-two great Masters that counted the "Templiers Order" since its creation to its term, seven lost the life in combats; five died of their wounds, one of voluntary fast, having fallen to hands of infidels. Finally, James Molay had to be burnt alive under Philip the Bel, but the Order was dissolved when this crime occurred. It is therefore on the whole thirteen great Masters in function who paid of their existence the honor to command the soldiers of Christ." (John Carpentier)
The 22 cards of the Tarot - 22 mysteries major.
The Cosmos would shelter 22 Super-Universe.
The totality of mystical knowledge is contained in the symbolic of the first twenty-two numbers, according to Bambaras.
The initiation of Pythagoras with the Egyptian priests lasted 22 years.
The twenty-two channels linking the ten "Sephiroth" between them in the "sephirotic Tree" of the Cabal.
According to some mediumnic revelations, it would exist 22 main stars where all the entities will pass to achieve the complete cycle of their evolution.
Twenty-two is the number of writable regular polygons in an Euclidiean circle: 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, 40, 45, 60, 72, 90, 120, 180, 360. These are twenty-two of the twenty-four dividers of 360, the two first, 1 and 2, not defining polygons.
Length of the cubit in number of fingers, for Bambaras, which corresponds to the totality of the categories of the creation: this cubit from Bambaras represents therefore the universe.
Number of total stars of which is composed the Little Bear. However, only seven of them are visible to the naked eye.

Wow... that's some good stuff, I think... and would that be 'Urcia,' do you suppose? I imagine that it might...
