[[English Qaballa]] (EQ) is an English-based [[Hermetic Qabalah]] supported by a system of [[arithmancy]] that interprets the letters of the [[English alphabet]] via an assigned set of values, discovered by James Lees in 1976. It is the result of an intent to understand, interpret, and elaborate on the mysteries of [[Aleister Crowley]]'s received text, ''Liber AL vel Legis, the Book of the Law''. According to Jake Stratton-Kent, "the English Qaballa is a qabalah and not a system of numerology. A qabalah is specifically related to three factors: one, a language; two, a 'holy' text or texts; three, mathematical laws at work in these two."{{sfnp|Stratton-Kent|1988|p=17}}{{sfnp|Stratton-Kent|1988b}}

The "order & value"{{sfnp|Crowley|1976|loc=ch. 3, v. 47}} discovered by James Lees lays the letters out on the grid superimposed on the page of manuscript of ''Liber AL'' on which this verse (III:47) appears (sheet 16 of Chapter III).{{sfnp|Crowley|1976|loc=ch. 3, v. 47}} Also appearing on this page are a diagonal line and a circled cross. ''The Book of the Law'' states that the book should only be printed with Crowley's hand-written version included, suggesting that there are mysteries in the "chance shape of the letters and their position to one another" of Crowley's handwriting.  Whichever top-left to bottom-right diagonal is read the magickal order of the letters is obtained.{{sfnp|Stratton-Kent|1988}}
