    Ok, I'm WAAAAAAAY late, but here's some details on Aelyan numerology:

  Aelya has 27 letters, which are organized into groups (encen) of 9,
thence their numeric equivalent. (e.g. a=1 b=2 l=3 f=4 s=5 etc..) Each
number is associated with 3 of the 27 sacred trees, the trees serve as a
sort of "grammar" of the religion, they structure ritual belief etc. Once
the numbers are added together (according to various sytems depending on
purpose of reading) the final numbers provide info which relates to
elemental triads.
   There are 9 elements (earth, air, fire, water, spirit, metal, wood,
chaos, flesh) which combine in threes to form 729 triads. These relate
directly to combinations of the trees in twos (27*27=729). Each elemental
triad and tree pair (tardhu and yathu respectively) has an image, a deity
who speaks through it, and a meaning.
    In strict numerology, these tardhu and yathu can also be derived from
one's numbers. The numbers of course have meanings as well:
   1: Chaos, fate, Na Dawyn speaks
   2: Destiny, choices, challenges, change, the Adanne (ancestors) speak
   3: the world, cycles, emotion, magic, Brid speaks
   4: strcture, work, organizations, definition and destiny, Ogma speaks
   5: the otherworlds, dreams, sleep, love, magic, CorraVar speaks
   6: malevolent sorcery, journeys, Bran speaks
   7: underworld, ritual, purification, Midir speaks
   8: danger, sex, drugs, freedom, Dagda speaks
   9: perfection, harmony, balance, happiness, Lugh speaks

   Those are some of the associations, but not all. I haven't figured them
all out yet, and waht I do have figured out is sacred, and shouldn't be
further elaborated in writing.
