I still do not see any logical or valid reason to leave letters out! I have said this over and over! You have the letters...use them! You do not have some letters? Do not add them! For accuracy it is only logical to use what is there...ALL the letters you have and to Not Add ones you do not! Linda was a brilliant Astrologer! VERY BRILLIANT! But I honestly can not figure out why she was so illogical and downright "spacey" about the "rules"! And people are afraid to break her arbitrary rules. By tampering with the letters you have inheirent to your name adding what is not there...removing what is there...well that would most assuredly void the validity of the lexigram and the accuracy all shot to heck!
Linda also had several errors in her lexigrams. Did she know that or not? Why were they not corrected?
Lexigramming has been around hundreds of years before she laid claim to the word lexigram. Actually primate researchers came up with that word first.
As for using all the vowels?
Go see my lexigrams in the Spiral Chain Game.
Just because you say it, or Linda's rules say it can't be done, does not make it a fact.

DayDreamer!
You said:
fayte.m you're brilliant

Thank you muchly, but no I am just a word fiend and read dictionaries for pleasure, since I was 4 years old. I think it has become a habit or an addiction! Ha! Ha! There are far worse addictions or habits to have!

To paraphrase Linda, the reason the potential lexi becomes invalid if more than 3 vowels are present, is because you can make virtually any word. Read the book.
There are reasons for the rules (which she didn't create).

Thanks DD!
Trillian....

"the reason the potential lexi becomes invalid if more than 3 vowels are present, is because you can make virtually any word. Read the book...."

I HAVE! It was shocking! Errors and fantasies all over the place!I admire Linda greatly! But the lexigram part was unexpected and really got spacey and illogical and I wish I had not read it! Now I find myself questioning the accuracies of her astrological books!

GET MOST EVERY WORD! Oh for crying out loud!!!!!!!!@#$%^&&*
Sorry.....but that is just not so and I have explained that before!!!!!! You would have to have a minimum of like 5 or 6 letters of each and every letter of the alphebet to even come close to "getting" all the words! And not even close...just alot of words...but not even close.....No one has a name like that! Yeah...some may get thousands of words...but most only get hundreds. I really am not wanting to argue about it...I have my way and others can do what they want........I dare anyone to tell/show me a name that can get nearly every word! Shhheeeessh! Even Queen Elizabeth's long royal title/name does not even come close!
The OED has like a million words!!!!
Get nearly every word? Bah! Ridiculous!
I cannot change anyone's mind, and I am not changing mine on this issue...unless I see a logical rational well thought out answer...not because Linda said so! She was a VERY BRILLIANT ASTROLOGER! That I WILL say about her! But she should have stayed with what she was the GREAT MASTER of!

On this subject, I have faith in Linda. She did not write the rules, only passed them on to us. The rules are simple and clear-cut, nothing confusing about them.

You can change the rules of, say, "Monopoly," but then you are no longer playing "Monopoly."

I know this goes against the way Miss Goodman suggested and insisted on. I have come to believe that she was dead on about many things, especialy in astrology,,, some of the ways of doing other things she talked about were realy good for her..... but not necesarily everybody else.

When that something in me is telling me to do a lexi [or practice of magick] differently ,,, I will often try it out anyway. Ive been surprised with the results enough times to just keep going with it now.

Ive always been a healer one way or naother, as many others could be. I havent tryed it out as much as I should latlely,,,, but even as a kid I playd around with possative [often compassionate] energy transfers without even realy knowing what I was doing.

If I were to spend more time with it Im sure I could make something stronger and more potent with it....

In the next half year I plan on making a sereous effort to apply it into sexual magick rites and practice... If not just to test it out on more higher plains of my existence more easily.

Yes the sources that Linda used were accurate, and anciently original to the original sources of wisdome and knowledge she one could get then.

Then.

Aquarian age surrounds us further and further with the passing of every perfect circle around the Sun. We are collectivly uncovering more and more of the texts of ancient knowledge and wisdome left burried in times secrets of Earth. If not just in time for those who are thjirsty and looking for them.

With this new age more and more of us evolve intuitivly further.

The rules Linda or any other author of wisdome show us should be bent when the heart and soul wisper more and more insistantly during a certain ocasion now and agian.

I think Linda recognised this to a degree as well. She said her self there are more then just one road to spiritual advancement.

I think Linda would be shocked that people are fighting over her rules....I believe she would want people to find other ways...She herself pretty much admitted that she put the rules , her rules in, to make it easier for the average person to lexigram. Also...her way is not the ancient way...Now that IS something I have and others I know, have researched! WE have been doing them long long...decades longer, well before Linda ever heard of them!!!!! There were of course variations and all then, but for the most part, the logical way was used to find the words. Same for anagrams. I am getting very tired of trying to explain the logic of finding the words and the magic of actually lexigramming. As to her passing the rules on? From those little word druid things? Oh she was talking to something alright but they were not the mighty ones they claimed to be! Just because it is a type of spirit does not make it all wise. Lets just say, they messed with her and she believed them when they claimed to be passing on sacred information. They meant well but were not what she thought. Sadly an entire psuedo religion/cult has sprung up because she listened to those delusional uneducated busy bodies. Dead druids believing they are fairy or whatever. History is full of stories of being led astray by entities claiming to be something they are not or knowing something they do not. Goes for many cults and religions. As for Monopoly....
The rules did not come from someone talking to something pretending to be something they were not. No comparison there.
