Let us now observe its numerical value :
W(6) + O(70) + T(400) + A(1) + N(50) = 527.
527, which is a mysterious number in Magick, is an elaboration of 14 (5 + 2 + 7 = 14), which is the number of ATU XIV, the alchemist, which is interesting when one remembers the stories about the making of the magick mead, the source of prophetic, poetic and warlike inspiration...
14, in turn, is an elaboration of 5 (1+4), that is to say of the Pentagram, which seems logical for the God of Wisdom, which is also the number of the Jotunheim Sphere signed by the planet Mars on the
Tree of Life Yggdrasil and brings us back to the essential function of WOTAN as God of Fights.
527 is a Temurah of 725, the Writing (obvious attribution for the Rune Master), of 257, the Magician (idem for the God of Magic), and of 752, equivalent, in Hebrew, to Satan, which is not without interest - but would lead us a bit far...
Finally, the Notariqon of WOTAN that David Lane (who received the posthumous name of Wodenson, "son of Wotan") liked to quote, in order to explain why this spelling should be preferred to ODIN, is, of course,
"Will Of The Aryan Nation"...
You will find runes, meaningful staves,
very powerful staves,
very strong staves,
that Fimbul dyed,
that the Ginnregin shaped,
that the God Hropt carved.
