As it is written in The Book of the Law, the Law of Thelema is stated as “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.” It is further said, “Love is the law, love under will.” The two primary terms in these statements are Will and Love, respectively. In the Greek language, they are Thelema (Will) and Agapé (Love).

Using the Greek technique of Isopsephy, which applies a numerical value to letters, the letters of both of these words when added together equal 93:

  • Thelema = Θελημα
  • Θ (Theta) = 9 +
  • ε (Epsilon) = 5 +
  • λ (Lambda) = 30 +
  • η (Eta) = 8 +
  • μ (Mu) = 40 +
  • α (Alpha) 1
  • = 93
  • Agapé = Αγαπη
  • Α (Alpha) 1 +
  • γ (Gamma) 3 +
  • α (Alpha) 1 +
  • π (Pi) 80 +
  • η (Eta) 8
  • = 93

The relevance of this technique is found in the art of correspondence. When two words have the same value, they are said to have a meaningful connection. In this case, it is considered significant that the two central concepts of Thelema—Will and Love—are of equal value, and therefore have a direct connection.
