I wonder if I could find practical use for that as a tool of interpretation or if it would start to go too brittle a network of meanings. I guess some exceptions could be made to use it. Like moving a toe over a more strict bounds of attitude towards gematria. Playful mischief, I reckon!
First thought of practical use that inspired me was to expand the ability to use words connected by a number artistically and intuitively, in poetry or writing lyrics to a song.
When finding a subject or a word of interest, finding what other words that number of the word of interest represents in the same language, could give a fascinating new angle for the writer to write a poem from.
I have not tried this really, but if I would, I'd probably try to do it in a way that the poem would aim to touch or move a piece within the reader as a logic, meaningful and beautiful piece by its rhythm and metre, texture and nuances, obvious meanings and with its less obvious but still traditional symbolism and double-meanings perhaps, regardless of the hidden number meanings, them being more like another layer in the web of possible interpretation and easter egg and the hidden life of a poem, mainly for the writer himself to be aware of.
It was also mentioned in the Eastern Mysteries, that all of those languages are like different entities and have a unique way of regarding meanings to a certain number. That obviously they are not identical systems in the way languages are built, since no culture is perfectly identical to another, like there is no single snowflake that would be identical to other.
The writer draw lines from these 13 symbolic languages to 13 Enochian Angels. Interesting thought that requires more study from my part.
But that some numbers do hold an interestingly similiar meanings and correspondences between the languages of different ages, gives at least the impression of the possibility of languages evolving from the same root that would seem to be Numbers.
Ofcourse another interesting practical way would be to study the names of different entities in the exoteric scriptures that are held meaningful by esoteric traditions, and see what names hold the same values in one language. A very basic Gematric method, that I've not dived deep into yet, but that keeps calling my interest to find ways to interpret some scriptures in a different (perhaps more occult and esoteric) light.
