Abundance in the havas record

First published 26 Jul 2026 · Last reviewed 26 Jul 2026 · 4 of 4 dimensions attested

Of the four traditions in this archive, the havas corpus gives abundance its fullest treatment: two divine names, a numerical discipline binding speech to letter-value, and a fourfold restriction on when writing may occur.

¶ Materials

The recorded carrier is a tablet (levha); where none is available, the source permits paper. Incense appears only in a separate context — wafq preparation — where its selection is tied to the subject of the square and the person's star.

¶ Writing

The record's most distinctive rule is a prohibition: names are written in letters, never in numerals — one name to each face of the carrier. The names recorded for this theme are Wahhāb ("the Bestower," abjad value 14) and al-Razzāq ("the Provider," abjad value 23). The values are recorded — but they belong to counting, not to writing.

¶ Spoken elements

The spoken register attaches to the existing prayer cycle: after the obligatory prayers, the name is repeated to the count of its own abjad value — fourteen for Wahhāb. The source associates this practice with release from debt and increase of goods; the Concordance records that association as a claim of the source, not as a claim of this archive.

¶ Procedure

Validity is bound to time. Writing is confined to the hours of the Moon, Jupiter, Sun, or Venus; all other planetary hours are excluded. For name-extraction, the record describes sorting the letters of the person's and the mother's names into fire and water groups — but demonstrates the sort only through a single worked example.
