Besides, IIRC, Hagbard Celine points out in the final chapter of "Illiminatus" that if everyon had been born with six fingers on their hands instead of five, we'd have a Law of Sixes, instead. In the books of the Illiminatus Triology, the Law of Fives is to serve as one of many vehicles to Enlightenment. I'm not at all sure the author of that website is attempting the same thing; instead of trying to open the minds of hir readers, I rather strongly suspect s/he is only prosyletizing. C.S.Lewis did a far, far better job of establishing and finding various allegories for the Christian faith and mythos, both in his own works and through observation of other works and sources. |
