stone ornament in the shape of Glagolitic letter Šta, on the floor in front of the 15th century CE st. Barthol church, Roč, Croatia (Vesica Pisces?) |
My goal was to find the true power of the words in a language that I commonly use. To discover the true power of sounds with respect to particular words that are often used in prayers, mantras, invocations, the words that represent particular features of gods, mythological characters and all other spiritual beings that we find in sacred scriptures. By applying numerological, Kabbalistic and other research methods, we can find out what are the meanings of the letters, what is the essence of the word, and even the proper way of its writing. I've tried to use the numerical values and attributions of Hebrew script, but the problem was that Hebrew and Croatian are so different languages. Hebrew uses only consonants, while vowels are only spoken. Croatian is more similar to Greek or Latin, there are different letters for consonants and different for vowels. Also there are some sounds in Hebrew that are not used in Croatian and vice versa. So the system based on Hebrew script was very much useless. In that time, I got the book on Glagolitic and was quite surprised to see numerical values, distinctive order and names of its letters. So I started to think that it would be interesting and helpful to start experimenting with Glagolitic, to find attributions of each letter as gematricists did with the Hebrew.

Am I scientist? No...Am I spiritualist? No...Or maybe I am a bit of both...Anyway, I've just tried to keep an open mind, to maintain the critical judgement on the matter that is very far from either science or spiritualism. I am raised by journalist parents and throughout my education I was pushed to withhold my personal feelings and private opinion. It is so hard if not impossible, so I won't try to restrain from those attitudes. This is a picture of Glagolitic that I've seen, my personal homage to Croatian and Slavic script, literacy, mythology and culture overall. What You are reading is just a glimpse of vast research I had been conducting. I hope that in some time in the future You could read about it in the book that I'm currently preparing in Croatian language. Every suggestion is welcomed, so discuss, comment, argue, add, interpret...in Kabbalah anything is possible...Nothing is impossible...
