Need help decoding the 1977 Wow! signal via rune and/or Gemmatria correspondence.
This is just something I was thinking about for fun, but, coming from the perspective that all characters of the alphabet and all numbers have esoteric meanings, how would one go about decoding the following sequence in a Thelemically coherent manner, assuming for a moment it was an esoterically encoded message?
The specific code was "6EQUJ5." Naturally 6 = Sol/Tiphareth, 5 = Mars/Geburrah when looking at it from a Qabalistic standpoint. Not sure whether to read this sandwich as pointing toward the path on the tree, or if one would add the numbers to get 11 (another number of great significance in Thelema).
As for the letters I was looking to the Qabalistic correspondences (Q = Qoph/Pisces, etc.) but got stuck with the vowels, so instead turned to runes. E = Ehwaz, U = Uruz.
Does anyone with more comprehensive insight to/education on these systems have any theories regarding this sequence?
Again, this is simply for fun, I'm not assuming anything concrete or conspiratorial about the sequence. This was inspired upon realizing that Boards of Canada have a track on their new album named after the 1420 MHz hydrogen line, and was looking deeper into the contexts of the tracks after realizing one of the later tracks on the album contains a sample of someone reading directly from Magick in Theory and Practice. As far as I'm concerned, I'm just curious as to whether or not the band themselves believe there to be some kind of esoteric significance to the event and thought this may be a way to gain better insight.
