GORGON, or the wonderfull yeare.

This is the  title of a poem by Gabriel Harvey, published in 1593. And, as it happens, that was also the year of publication of the first work to appear under the name William Shakespeare.

The poem has been described as “intensely cryptic“, which it certainly is.  Nevertheless, it has long been associated with the Marlovian aspect of the Shakespeare Mystery.

At the outset, the poem notes the non-occurrence in 1588 of the prophesied End of the World.  And, as it happens, its title‘s Cipher Value, 14786, equals 5364 + 9322 + 100 = 14786, as in the Cipher Values of Gabriel Harvey, William Shakespeare, and THE END.

See ADDENDUM for more on the Marlovian – and Shakespeare Authorship – aspect.

¹Abomination of Desolation

Message posted to friends on 26 February 2014:

While in Iceland last August, I met with Pétur Halldórsson at the Cafe Milano in Reykjavík. We discussed matters of mutual interest, including what my Saga Cipher work might “mean“.

I took a napkin and, for emphasis, wrote down the number 438097. This is the Cipher Sum of some three dozen names of persons, institutions, dates and events during the reference period, including two famous murder cases, a sex scandal in high places, and presumptive lies told in connection therewith.

I told Pétur (what I had long surmised) that I believed that this number was associated with a watershed event in human history whose final phase was upon our world.

An earth-shaking culmination of human and spiritual evolution.

³ The 26-year period between the Privy Council’s letter and the burning of the Globe serves to link ‘Christopher Marlowe’ to the Hebrew foundations of Shakespeare Myth (26 = 10 + 5 + 6 + 5 as in the Hebrew gematria value of the Holy Name of JHWH.

Edward Oxenford’s letter to Robert Cecil – the only extant written reference by the Earl of Oxford to Francis Bacon – on his “booke” that needs to be “perfeted” would then serve to “document” the Earl’s major contribution to the Shakespeare Opus viewed as an integral part of a Judeo-Christian literary and spiritual tradition.
