V for Victory
Another bit of latin. Vadit = "He goes".
I suppose a reasonable question is why would Hadit even have a secret name in the first place? My guess is that he can never be known except via his manifestations through Nuit. He is force hidden in form. Just like in the first verse of Liber AL chp.II: "Nu! the hiding of Hadit." This may be why the initial letter of his name is replaced by the letter of Nuit herself - Heh.
Somewhere Crowley mentions a secret form of Abrahadabra in which Vau replaces Heh. ABRAVADABRA.
I've gone through all the likely sources trying to track this one down, but so far nothing. I know I've seen it. I'm starting to suspect it was in one of Crowley's diaries.
In the 25th Aethyr we are told that the Beast has the secret of V and his ten horns spring from five points. V.V.V.V.V.
The ten horns correspond to ten V words:
VIRIDIS, VIRUS, VIR, VIS, VIRTUS, VIA, VITA, VIRTUS, VICTORIA, VERITAS.
Apparently there's an eleventh secret name that has never been revealed. (VADIT ?) But the ten horns can be found at the top of the Lust card. The ten names contain 52 letters in total. 52 is the value of AIMA, the fertile mother. She is AMA(42), the mother, with the fertilizing Yod(10) within her - AIMA.
The Hierophants name is V.V.V.V.V. He is of couse Atu V. On it he makes an inverted V sign with his 'sinister hand' representing the Greek letter Lambda - Λ - which is equivalent to Lamed and card VIII - Adjustment, AIMA - The Woman Satisfied standing between an upright and averse VΛ forming a diamond.
Both Taurus(Hierophant) and Libra(Adjustment) are ruled by Venus.
It's the other way round. The mind and body complex that we commonly think of as ourselves is the baggage that Hadit has to carry in his journey of experience through Nuit.I just looked that up. Apparently, Vadere mecum means "to go with me". Some translations include items that are usually carried around, like an essential iPhone. Hadit can't 'come' to us- because we are carrying him around as part of us... That sounds unfortunately a bit like luggage...
