Say Bazr....pay no attention to the man behind the curtain, in these arcane matters the words speak for themselves if you know how to read them. Take SATAN for example; enumerate each letter in accord with it's place in the latin alphabet and then add them...

S+19 A+1 T+20 A+1 N+14 = 55
Exault his high station by multiplying by 10 = 550
But everyone knows that the Devil is Dead though it is said that SATAN LIVES
L+12 I+9 V+22 E+5 S+19 = 67
550 + 67 = 617 but everyone knows that the devil is in fact dead so subtract the devil and you'll get 616 the mark of False Beast.
