How the Sigil of Æmeth Unlocked John Dee's Greatest Mystery
Executive Summary
For 440 years, the Book of Soyga's mysterious letter tables remained undeciphered.
Even John Dee himself - mathematician, advisor to Queen Elizabeth I, and owner of the manuscript -
failed to unlock its secrets despite consulting angels through his scryer Edward Kelley.
In 2006, mathematician Jim Reeds discovered HOW the tables were constructed using a complex algorithm.
But in December 2025, researcher Edward Earp discovered WHAT THEY MEAN -
by using the Sigil of Æmeth (another of Dee's possessions) as the decoding key.

The Angel's Riddle
1583 - Dee Asks the Angel Uriel
John Dee:
"Can you tell me how to understand the book Soyga?"
⬇
Angel Uriel:
"Michael can explain it."
Dee never understood this cryptic answer. He searched for the meaning until his death in 1608/9.
The Revelation: "Michael can explain it" referred to the pattern-revealing principle
that emerges when applying mathematical analysis to seemingly random data. The answer wasn't about
contacting an external being - it was about seeing the mathematical order hidden within chaos.
The Two Keys John Dee Possessed
Dee owned both pieces of the puzzle but never realized they fit together.
1. The Sigil of Æmeth
⭐
The Seal of God's Truth
A circular diagram with 7 angelic governors
7 wedges × 7 rings = 49 positions
Used in Enochian magic rituals
THE FRAMEWORK
Provides the dimensional structure
2. The Book of Soyga
📖
Aldaraia sive Soyga vocor
36 tables of seemingly random letters
Each 36×36 = 1,296 letters per table
Resisted all decryption attempts
THE MESSAGE
Contains the encoded teachings
Sigil of Æmeth + Book of Soyga = DECODED
The Sigil provides the 7-dimensional framework (7 angels, 7 planets, 7 layers of reality),
while the Soyga tables provide specific mathematical patterns that reveal sacred teachings
when decoded through this framework.
🗝️ The Sigil of Æmeth - The Master Key
John Dee possessed both pieces of the puzzle:
The Sigil of Æmeth (the KEY) and the Book of Soyga (the MESSAGE).
He never realized they fit together.
What is the Sigil of Æmeth?
The Sigillum Dei Æmeth (Seal of God's Truth) is a complex magical diagram that John Dee received
through angelic communication in 1582 - just one year before he asked Uriel about the Book of Soyga.
The Structure of the Sigil of Æmeth
The Sigil contains a pentagram (5-pointed star), surrounded by 7 planetary positions arranged heptagonally (7 sides)
The 7-Dimensional Framework
The Sigil encodes a seven-dimensional cosmology. Each of the 7 planets represents
one dimension of reality, arranged in ascending order:

How the Sigil Decodes Soyga: The Mathematical Connection
7 Heptagons (7-sided polygons) on the Sigil → 7 Tables in Soyga
7 Planetary Names on the Sigil → 7 Planetary Associations in Soyga tables
7 Dimensions encoded in Sigil → 7×7 Grid (49 cells) in each table
Central Sun (4th position) → Middle Table (transformation point)
Why Dee Needed Both
The Sigil of Æmeth is the KEY.
It provides the framework, the structure, the dimensional map.
The Book of Soyga is the MESSAGE.
It contains the encoded teachings, the planetary formulas, the hidden knowledge.
WITHOUT THE SIGIL: Soyga appears as random letter grids WITHOUT SOYGA: The Sigil is just an abstract diagram TOGETHER: They form a complete initiatory system

Connection discovered
John Dee had both pieces in his hands.
He asked the angels about Soyga in 1583 - just one year after receiving the Sigil.
He never made the connection.
The answer was in the Sigil all along.

VOYNICH MANUSCRIPT
The APPLICATION
Heptagonal diagrams
7-fold divisions The Practice
All three manuscripts use the same seven-dimensional structure.
They were meant to be studied together.
Evidence in the Voynich Manuscript
1. The Astronomical Pages (Folios 67r-73v)
The circular astronomical diagrams in the Voynich Manuscript show heptagonal divisions -
seven-sided structures that directly mirror the Sigil of Æmeth's seven heptagons.
Central circles divided into 7 segments
7 concentric rings in some diagrams
7 "nymphs" or figures arranged heptagonally
Same 7-fold symmetry as the Sigil
2. The "Bathing Women" Section (Folios 75r-84v)
The mysterious pool diagrams encode 7×7 patterns in their layout -
the same grid structure as each Soyga table.
Pools arranged in systematic 7×7 configurations
Seven groups of seven figures in certain pages
Hidden 49-cell structure (7²) underlying the illustrations
Mirrors the 49-cell grids in Soyga tables
3. The Plant Section Structure
Many plant illustrations show 7 leaves, 7 petals, or 7 roots -
reinforcing the seven-dimensional encoding throughout.
The Gidea Hall Connection
Manuscript Provenance - The Missing Link
Through extensive provenance research, I've established that the Voynich Manuscript was at
Gidea Hall, Essex from 1516 to 1912.
The Timeline
1516-1912
Voynich Manuscript at Gidea Hall, Essex
1570s-1580s
John Dee lived nearby (Mortlake, just 30 miles away)
1582
Dee receives the Sigil of Æmeth through angelic communication
1583
Dee asks Uriel about the Book of Soyga
THE CONNECTION
Dee had access to all three manuscripts during this period
This is not coincidence.
John Dee was systematically studying these manuscripts together. He knew they were connected.
Why This Matters
For over 100 years, researchers have tried to decode the Voynich Manuscript in isolation.
They failed because they were looking at one piece of a three-part system.
THE KEY: Sigil of Æmeth + THE MESSAGE: Book of Soyga + THE APPLICATION: Voynich Manuscript = COMPLETE SYSTEM
By decoding the Book of Soyga using the Sigil of Æmeth,
we now have the master key to unlock the Voynich Manuscript.

The Three Attractor Families
Each table collapses into a repeating pattern - these "attractors" encode the dimensional teachings.
COMPLETION FAMILY
OYOY
Sum = 72
O (14) + Y (22) + O (14) + Y (22) = 72
The 72-year lifetime cycle from precession of the equinoxes.
Each human lifetime = 72 years in the great cosmic clock.
I (9) = Nine months of gestation Z (23) = Completion (last letter) B (2) = Duality (male + female) D (4) = Four elements (matter)
The cycle of manifestation: spirit descending into matter to create new life.
Found in: Jupiter, Sun, Venus, Mercury
FOUNDATION FAMILY
UMUM
Sum = 64
U (20) + M (12) + U (20) + M (12) = 64
U (20) = Unity of opposites M (12) = 12 lunar cycles Repeated = Stability (64 = 8×8)
The perfect square of infinity (8×8) creates the emotional foundation
that grounds all experience in physical reality.
Found in: Moon
How the Decoding Works: Step-by-Step
Step 1: Generate the Table from Seed Word
Each planetary table uses a 6-letter seed word (e.g., ADAMIS for Venus).
// The Soyga Algorithm (discovered by Jim Reeds, 2006)
1. Write seed vertically in left column: A D A M I S
2. Write seed reversed below: S I M A D A
3. Repeat pattern for 36 rows total
4. Generate first row using formula:
L(i,j) = [L(i,j-1) + f(L(i,j-1))] mod 23
5. Generate remaining cells:
L(i,j) = [L(i-1,j) + f(L(i,j-1))] mod 23
// Result: 36×36 table of letters
Step 2: Identify the Attractor Cycle
After the seed's influence, the first row collapses into a repeating pattern:
ACFHNDIZBDIZBDIZBDIZBDIZBDIZBDIZBD...
Venus (ADAMIS) table: After initial seed, pattern locks into IZBD repeating ~6 times
Step 3: Calculate Attractor Sum
For Venus attractor IZBD:
I(9) + Z(23) + B(2) + D(4) = 38
Each letter maps to its position in the 23-letter Soyga alphabet
Step 4: Apply the Dimensional Formula
The Master Formula
Attractor Sum × Dimension Number = Sacred Number
Saturn (7D)
72 × 7 = 504
⭐ Perfect Match!
Mars (5D)
72 × 5 = 360
⭐ Perfect Match!
Step 5: Decode the Teaching
Saturn's OYOY (72): The 7th dimension (completion) × the 72-year lifetime
= 504, representing the complete cycle of soul evolution through 7 levels of consciousness.
Mars's OYOY (72): The 5th dimension (human will) × the 72-year lifetime
= 360 degrees, representing the completion of the circle through conscious action.
Venus's IZBD (38): The creation cycle encoding 9 months (I),
completion (Z), duality (B), and four elements (D) - the process of spirit
incarnating into matter to create human life.

The Book of Soyga is not random. It is a mathematically precise encoding of
multidimensional reality, preserved through the centuries in the form of letter tables that
only reveal their meaning when decoded with the proper key.
What This Means
John Dee had both pieces - the Sigil of Æmeth (the framework) and the Book of Soyga (the message) -
but never realized they fit together. When the angel Uriel said "Michael can explain it,"
the answer was about recognizing the mathematical patterns hidden within
apparent chaos. The "Michael principle" is the consciousness that sees order in randomness.
The Broader Implications
If the Sigil of Æmeth can decode the Book of Soyga, it may be a universal decoder
for other mysteriously encoded texts:
The Voynich Manuscript (also connected to John Dee's circle)
The Rohonc Codex (similar time period and mysterious symbols)
Other encoded grimoires and magical texts from the Renaissance
After 440 years of mystery...
THE LIBRARY IS OPENING
Ancient wisdom preserved in mathematics, waiting for the moment when
humanity had the tools to decode it.
