Thy sire,

 

The Beast 666.

 

31-666-31 [Leah Hirsig] should have sent you the Word of  (But she is very ill indeed, and will need infinite care and comfort. She must have a bed to sleep in, and warm clothes; also stoves in the Abbey [Abbey of Thelema]. So do your utmost—as she has done hers, at the risk of life and reason.)

     

The Word [of the Equinox] is  טעעש 93 (pronounced "Thighs"). It was said to mean Light—Eyes—Flame—Will (as it does) and to add to 542 (as it does) Note 542 = 666 + 418 / 2.
