There are no existing records or any other form of factual information to establish Sarahs date of birtheven the year remains unknown. 21 consists of three 7sand, as we shall see, this is a consistent theme with all of the names in the Winchester family. Courtesy of the Whitney Library, New Haven, CT. Another important function of the crescent hedge is to emphasize the moons relationship to the number 13. She has gone to great pains to leave a trail of clues that will lead us to the truth. This is precisely the effect Sarah wanted the inscriptions to have on us. For Example, the name Sarah = 20, which then simplifies to 2 because zeros are regarded as nulls (and are not counted). In addition to being in concert with such ideas as the ever building universe, and the dynamic agriculture of the famous Rosicrucian Theosophist, mathematician and philosopher Rudolph Steiner (1861-1925), it seems clear that Sarah adopted his concept of the cube as the simplest geometric structure for the higher dimensional dynamics of the universe. William Wirt Winchester was the treasurer of the Winchester Repeating Arms Company, a position he held until his death in 1881. According to Prairie Ghosts, most windows have 13 panes and most rooms have 13 windows. the 47th proposition of Euclids Elements known as the Pythagorean Theorem) and to the name Hiram (Simple Cipher). April 3, 1992 . There was a lock of her husband's hair, a lock of her daughter's hair, and their obituaries. Her closest companion and nurse of many years, Henrietta Severs, firmly denied that Mrs. Winchester had any spiritualist leanings. For example, it is certain that Sarah regarded 52 as the code number representing the name Winchester as evidenced by the 52 skylights in her Houseand the fact that her earthly remains, along with those of William and Annie are interred in plot number 52 of New Havens Evergreen Cemetery. In all Masonic lodges, one is always regarded to be traveling from west toward the source of light in the east. Sarahs insertion of daisies in the center of the two Sun symbols on the front, wrought iron gates are important because the daisy represents the two essential qualities of the initiate: Innocence and Fidelity. It's thought most of the materials were reused elsewhere, but the tower itself was never rebuilt. William died in New Haven, Connecticut, on March 7, 1881, of tuberculosis. Then, 84 x 11 = 924. John Dees 007 signature as Tubal-Cain, and the traditional Tubal-Cain symbol. He was buried in Evergreen Cemetery in New Haven. Partial collapse left it dangerously unstable, and it was torn down. Also, 13 and 31 possess the unique quality of generating (reverse) palindromic twins when they are squared, i.e. Second, The Crescent was a periodical magazine of poetry and prose written, under various pseudonyms, by Sarah and her classmates, and published by her alma mater The Young Ladies Collegiate Institute of New Haven, CT. One of these concepts involves the labyrinthine aspect of the Houses design. Here, Sarah has ingeniously blended the symbolism of the Winding Staircase of the 2nd Masonic Degree with the symbolism of Jacobs Ladder. According to the Kabbalistic and Masonic traditions, Jacobs Ladder is a ramp that winds around 7 turns, ascending up into Heaven. Therefore, six pyramidal bases equate to the number 24. Workers have reported being touched and shoved by invisible hands, and one tour guide is even sure she's seen Sarah Winchester herself heaving a perturbed sigh after finding a tour group in her bedroom. Ignoffo, Mary Jo. Moreover, the darkly stained beam has 46 lightly colored vertical rule lines which divide the gauge into 47 evenly spaced segments. The riddle lay with the worthy ascendant realizing that there is an invisible 13th step that could only be crossed once the door had been opened for him by a divine source from within. Bacon fleur-de-lis windows with left and right number 3s facing each other, Bacons Double A Headpiece with fleur-de-lis design, and the letters C facing each other. He died on March 7, 1881 in New Haven, Connecticut, United Statesat 43 years of age. Furthermore, distinguishing between large and small, up and down, front and back, left and right, inside and out, etc., would seem equally absurd to us. Sarah has intentionally shaded each ball so as to give it a three dimensional effect. Here, Williams teachers included N.W. The eighth ordinal is the number 13. Unfortunately, the Winchesters' joy would be short-lived. It should be noted that most Rosicrucians are theosophists. After passing through the pillars the initiate then symbolically ascends a Winding Staircase leading into the Temple. Another remarkable symmetry occurs by simply multiplying: 11 x 777 = 8,547, then, 8,547 x 13 = 111111. It is a virtual shrine to Bacon. However, their approach to higher dimensional expression is remarkably similar. Throughout the centuries, the Tubal-Cain symbol has employed either a cane shaped like a backward number 7, or a cane with a simple crooked handle. It's called the Seance Room or the Blue Room, but it's pretty weird either way. Such a notion, as any practicing Rosicrucian knows, is utterly absurd. [citation needed], American heiress of William Wirt Winchester. The house had been open for tours for around 90 years at that point, so pretty unlikely. Courtesy of the History Museums of San Jose. Notice that 52 x 88 is really a variant of 7 x 7because 52 and 88 both simplify to the number 7. Borrowing from Bacons methodology, she is purposefully showing us the numbers 45 and 55. And, we recall that the number 777 also corresponds to the name William (34) Wirt (25) Winchester (52). 27 rotates into 117 (John Dee), and, when reversed, it is 72 (Sarah Winchester) or 711. First, his name adds up (in the Pythagorean Cipher) to the number 111 (just like Bacon in the Kaye Cipher). Aside from its immense size and Victorian style architecture, the House has a number of unique characteristics. Then, tragically, William died from tuberculosis 15 years later. Sarah Pardee Winchester, age unknown. The 13th bathroom has 13 steps leading up to its entrance. Sarah Pardee adopted all of Bacons encryption Tableshowever, the 1 through 9 Pythagorean Table was her primary cipher of choice. In fact, some of Bacons engravings show him holding books with CLASPS. Four years into the marriage, Sarah bore a daughter named Annie Pardee Winchester. The artwork on the magazines cover featured a crescent moon in its waxing stage. Since there are no true species of the daisy family having as few as 8 petals, it is apparent that Sarah uses the 8 petaled daisy as a device to emphasize the Fibonacci relationship between the numbers 13 and 8. This crucial dynamic of String Theory known as the Modular Function was discovered by another of Sarahs contemporaries, the mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan (1887-1920). From start to finish, this powerful novel is packed with astonishing surprises and revelationsall leading to a shocking conclusion that will leave the reader spellbound. It is literally the Key to Phi. It was built by the widow of a firearms magnate. Moreover, each of the 7 turns represents a progressively higher degree of enlightenment. What went on there? And as we have seen he created a new branch of the Rosicrucian Order called Speculative Freemasonry., Bacons new, revolutionary innovations in the arts and sciences were built on the solid foundation of the ancient wisdom. As with the Templars, such knowledge was to be preserved and propagated through the tradition of the initiate.. For those who would choose the first option, go ahead and walk awaymany other people have already preceded you! We are actually dealing with a choice between two options: one, either Mrs. Winchester was crazy, or two, she is cleverly guiding us toward an understanding of the methodology she employs for the sole purpose of solving her puzzle. The point at the Channels, Calday Island divides the base 5 precisely into 2 and 3. Taylor Root were both Rose Croix Freemasons. Then, 588 x 121 (11 squared) = 71,148. It's not far-fetched, especially considering negotiations to sell the company started the same year she died and were completed in 1931. Moreover, by all accounts, she was also considered to be quite beautiful. According to one tale, Winchester went there to commune with spirits and learn what they wanted her workmen to build the next day. The Riemannian revolution had a profound impact both on nineteenth century science and Sarah Winchester. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Wirt_Winchester. However, she also keyed on the Master number 11, as it applies to her name. Furthermore, in addition to the number 111, Sarah adopted the Kabbalistic number 777 as a code number representing the name William Wirt Winchesterwe know this because, in the decade following Williams death, she maintained precisely 777 shares of stock in the Winchester Repeating Arms Company. Thus, Riemann devised a new, higher dimensional geometry that demonstrates how parallel lines can intersect, and arcs, rather than straight lines, can be the shortest distance between two points. When Sarah looked up at this grid, she saw an array of significant numbers. There are stairs to nowhere, chimneys that don't go all the way outside, balconies on the inside, rooms built inside rooms, and doors with nothing behind them.

Sarahs use of Pallas Athenas Glass and Pans crooked staff indicate that something more is concealed in the design of the Shakespearean Windows. Sarah has left instructions. We may well ask what value does higher dimensional mathematics have for us? But, the matter runs still deeper when we consider that, in showing the number twice, Sarah is also revealing a different perspective as 47 47 transforms (rotates) into 44 77and, when these two numbers combine, we have the number 121 (11 squared) which then rotates (12 + 1 = 13) into the number 13.

CSICOP adds there are 13 coat hooks in the seance room, 13 drains in the sinks, and 13 stars in the leadlight window Winchester herself designed. Note further that the sequence is simply an endless repetition of combining a number with the preceding number in order to arrive at the next number in the sequence, e.g. As we have seen, what makes E (8) exceptional is that it defines natures maximum limit for symmetric growth. Without symmetry, the universe and everything in it would not be coherentrather it would be chaotic. Please enable JavaScript in your browser's settings to use this part of Geni. Why?. Why?) is a matter of connecting the dots and properly assembling the pieces of the puzzle Sarah has generously left behind. The image in the mirror above the fireplace was a reflection of the rooms 13 globe chandelier. Does it really matter who wrote Shakespeare? General statistics related to admissions, nativity of patients, age, occupation, and town included. The American poet Alexandra Teague's book, This page was last edited on 1 October 2022, at 17:29. 45), corresponds to the name Shakespeare. Thus, the product has to be a variant of 49 (i.e. Her connection with Francis Bacon is undeniable. First, it symbolizes the initiate. First, like Bacons play on the letters L, L, L in Loves Labours Lost11, 11, 11 combined, becomes the number 33. No one's sure, but everyone has a story. Thats what were dealing with when we try to imagine the properties of higher dimensional space. What else are we to see in this window? Upon closer examination of the Windows, we notice that each has three partitions. Second, 11 x 11 x 11 renders the (Ramanujan) palindromic number 1331. This is critical to understanding both Sarahs motivation and thinking. With regard to Sarahs reason for building the House the way she did, author Ralph Rambo states: The great question is yet to be answered,Why? Not far from the Bacon-fleur-de-lis windows, Sarah exhibits the most ornate stained glass window in the entire House.

Additionally, Sarah Pardee and Williams sister Annie were classmates at the Young Ladies Collegiate Institute. . The most revolutionary scientific development of young Sarahs time was the discovery that the forces of nature are a product of higher dimensional dynamics of the geometry of space. To that end Sarah carefully crafted Masonic and Rosicrucian features into the structure of her labyrinthine House. The Winchester Tiffany Window. According to Winchester Mystery House employees (via The Mercury News), it's still home to some active spirits including a dark-haired man seen pushing a wheelbarrow through the halls or stopping to repair things. Furthermore, Sarah adds a lesson in higher dimensional mathematics. When a man walks down 7 steps, and then up 11 steps, what has he gained? With Mrs. Winchester as its only architect, the House gradually mushroomed outward and upward, reaching a height of 7 stories in some places, and encompassing 500 600 rooms. A new, simplified view of the universe had opened up in which unseen forces, from the structure of atoms to the dynamics of gravity were becoming better understood from the perspective of higher dimensional space. . Taylor Root (one of Sarahs instructors) and Henry E. Pardee who was another of Sarahs cousins. She was brought back to New Haven and laid to rest in Evergreen Cemetery near her husband and . Steiner viewed the universe as a vast, living organism in which all things are likened to individually evolving units or cells that comprise a greater universal, synergistic body that is ever building.

The birth of the Winchesters daughter, Anne Pardee Winchester (in 1866) resulted in a new set of numbers for Sarah to deal with. This number or any other variant of 7 squared will always equate to the number 13 (or variants of 13), which then simplify to 4. When I first walked the 7/11 staircase, and earned this insight about the number 13, I rushed back to the Ballroom. As a matter of practicality, I will hereafter refer to them as Winchester numbers.. Another important feature of the Spider-web window is that each of its four sides form a triangle pointing to the circular center.
