Nonpareil
The Terrible Trivium
You are right that I do know the results (in advance). However, the fact that I 'pick combinations that seem relevant' only begs the question: How come such a limited pot of combinations fits the purpose?
It doesn't.
The Hebrew alphabet contains twenty-two letters. Your Genesis Seal contains sixty-four instances of those arranged in an eight-by-eight square. Even accepting that it's possible that one or two of the letters from said alphabet were left out, I'd say it's reasonable to assume that you have at least eighty or ninety percent of the entire Hebrew alphabet in that square. It isn't a question of whether or not you can find any words in there. It's just a matter of picking and choosing what words you want to use to support anything you might want to say about it and then saying "ooh, look, this word appears in here! look at the weird pattern of letters".
Out of curiosity, though, Kingfisher, have you ever tried this with any other literary works? Or any other languages? I'm pretty sure that you could come up with something just as fascinating and impressive and earth-shaking with, say, the original text of the Iliad, or 1984, or something along those lines.
I detect a sad lack of wonder and surprise that this supposedly limited pot is able to marry together so many enigmatic, simultaneous episodes in human history.
I see a sad lack of comprehension that all you're doing is throwing letters together in a box and picking out the ones that you want to see.
