In accordance with the Pythagorean Cipher, we recall that the number 51 corresponds to both the names Francis Bacon and Sarah Pardee. But this facsimile of the 24 inch gauge is made to scale, spanning a length of approximately 16 ft. It is interesting that Wikipedia makes particular note of Enoch Pardee having been a prominent occultist. Most likely the occult reference has to do with the fact that both Enoch and his son George were members of the highly secretive and mysterious ( California based) Bohemian Club which was an offshoot of Yales Skull and Bones Society. Its geometric shape is now pyramidal. Moreover, we have the numbers 11 and 7 standing side-by-side. During the same trip, Roosevelt attempted to visit Sarah Pardee Winchester. At the time of Sarahs birth, the Pardees were a respectable, upper middle class New Haven family. On a superficial level, the inscription on the left is Sarahs way of saying Open Sesame to our mindsand, Welcome to my puzzle. The inscription in the right window is Sarahs way of saying Once you solve my puzzle, pass the truth on to others.. First, like Bacons play on the letters L, L, L in Loves Labours Lost11, 11, 11 combined, becomes the number 33. Jea Yu and Russell Lockhart, Secrets of The Underground Trader, published by McGraw-Hill, New York, 2004. [1], Sarah Winchester is best known for using her vast fortune to continue construction on the Winchester mansion in San Jose, California, for 22 years. William Winchester (William Wirt Winchester) was born on 22 June, 1837 in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, is an Actor. Originally, Sarahs Sanctum Sanctorum was painted entirely blue. Perhaps Winchester was really using those hours to spy on the help with a series of hidden windows. The three symmetric triplets of 777, 111, and 444 are actually higher dimensional expressions of 7, 11, and 13. By the time Sarah Pardee was born, Francis Bacons modern scientific method had exploded into a virtual catalogue of new, revolutionary theories of the intricate workings of the universe. Everything would be completely flat. Moreover, by all accounts, she was also considered to be quite beautiful. When Tragedy Struck Sarah Winchester's Family William and Sarah Winchester married in September 1862. periods or decimals), the words and manner in which they are arranged have the appearance of incompletenessthey seem to be out of whack. To begin, it is undeniably a labyrinth. The story of the house begins with the death of William Wirt Winchester in 1881, that left Sarah in possession of an incredible fortune over $20 million and nearly 50% stake in the Winchester company giving her an income of $1,000 a day. These staff-like branches with their distinct hooks are a direct allusion to Pans crooked staff that is also brandished (like Athenas spear) against the serpent of ignorance. . Here are 10 facts about the Winchester Mystery House, which many consider to be America's first haunted house. The expanded text from which these words appear reads: My brain Ill prove the female to my soul, And these same thoughts people this little. In one of the rooms, light and dark floorboards seem to change color when the sun hits them in a certain way. There was another vault, like the most depressing and never funny gift-wrapping job ever. Bacons philosophy further maintained the fundamental tenets of the ancient mystery schools, i.e. The initiate had to successfully find the correct path through the labyrinths numerous pitfalls, obstacles and traps. The Riemannian revolution had a profound impact both on nineteenth century science and Sarah Winchester. Her inheritance included $20 million ($561.6million in 2021) as well as a 50% holding in the Winchester Repeating Arms Company, which made her one of the wealthiest women in the world at the time. Her closest companion and nurse of many years, Henrietta Severs, firmly denied that Mrs. Winchester had any spiritualist leanings. E (8) x E (8). Today the home is owned by . We notice that a tiny ball is tightly tucked into the crook of each of Pans staves. Bacons legacy seems to be intricately entangled with Sarahs destiny, as demonstrated in the cryptic Winchester goose message contained in the last sentence of Troilus and Cressida. Washington History (1989-present) is the only scholarly journal devoted exclusively to the history of the nation's capital. The room measures 11 ft. x 11 ft. x 11 ft. After his death, his wife, Sarah, became notable for building Llanada Villa, later known as Winchester Mystery House . Then, 84 x 11 = 924. If a man were to traverse these stairs from the second floor, left to right, he would be traveling from west to east. Escher, published by Harry N. Abrams, Inc., Publishers, New York, 1971. Thus, the product has to be a variant of 49 (i.e. Through the Looking Glass had many of the qualities that would eventually be understood as the hallmarks of Einsteins Theory of Relativity. Both Bacon and Sarah had to have been keenly aware of this. 21 consists of three 7sand, as we shall see, this is a consistent theme with all of the names in the Winchester family. And just to insure we would understand that the connection between the number 52 and the name Winchester are not accidental Sarah deliberately placed coded inscriptions on the three tombstones of the Winchester family plot. . The late Cal Tech physicist Richard Feynman said You can recognize truth by its beauty and simplicitybecause the truth always turns out to be simpler than you thought.. The posts alternate: one, right-side-up, one, up-side-down, one right-side-up, etc.resulting in 5 right-side-up posts and 6 up-side-down posts. Its a riveting story of romance, mystery, intrigue, betrayal, plots and murder. And, we recall that her Glass (mirror) reflects the light of knowledge and wisdom. Four years into the marriage, Sarah bore a daughter named Annie Pardee Winchester. And, 7 + 6 = 13, then, 13 simplifies to 4 (i.e., 1 + 3 = 4). Escher. From the beginning of civilization, the geometric value of Phi (and the number 13 in particular) has been used as the basis for all great architectural endeavors. In 1989 the publications shifted from the hardback Records of the Columbia Historic Society to a magazine format Washington History. The answer is that without higher dimensional mathematics, such as the mathematical innovations of William Rowan Hamilton or Sophus Lie, many of the technologies we take for granted from computers, cell phones, to landing robotic space craft on Mars, etc., wouldnt be possible. Sadly, Sarah and William's infant daughter, Annie, died from a mysterious childhood disease in 1866. Her apparent motive for the move was to live in close proximity to her numerous Pardee relatives, most of whom had come to California during the 1849 Gold Rush, and were scattered from Sacramento to the Bay area. They read: BABY ANNE, SLW, and WWW. These three inscriptions add up in the Pythagorean Cipher to 52. According to author Pamela Haag, Ph.D. (via the Smithsonian), relatives later said she believed building was the only way she could keep the ghosts away. Francis Bacon didnt adhere to the strict application of the simplification rule. As we have seen in earlier chapters the name Bacon, in Simple Cipher, adds up to the number 33. But why six? 4, 22, 31, 58, 85, 67, 76, 49, 94, 121, 112, 211, or 1111, etc. It then becomes a matter of separating fact from fictionbeginning with the elimination process. Their only child, Annie Pardee Winchester came into the world on July 12, 1866. Sarahs Masonic-Rosicrucian interest in labyrinths would have drawn her to Chartres with its 11 circuit labyrinth, a puzzle-like feature that stresses the discipline of the initiatic tradition of the ancient mystery schools. Moreover, she has employed a brilliant device in the Shakespearean Windows to drive home the connection between Shakespeare, Hiram Abiff, Francis Bacon and herself. He was the brother of Anna Rebecca and Hannah Jane Winchester. He sold the House to the people who, in 1933, preserved it as a living museumtoday, it is known as the Winchester Mystery House also known as California Historical Landmark #868. The invisible difference is 13. Ignoffo, Mary Jo. Mrs. Winchesters application of the latest technological innovations in her mansion, demonstrate both her scientific background and her passion for keeping up with new discoveries. Moreover, upside-down pillars can be found all about the House. Entering the Ballroom, we notice a beautiful parquet floor with light and dark squares bearing a striking resemblance to the checkered mosaic floors of Masonic lodge rooms. As with Francis Bacon, Sarah Winchesters legacy has fallen victim to The Liberty Valance Effect, i.e. General statistics related to admissions, nativity of patients, age, occupation, and town included. 12 x 49 = 588. Has the wait been worthwhile? Be aware that the window is only showing us a two dimensional view of Sarahs spider-web (to be discussed later). Because we are already familiar with Numerological Tables, we know that in displaying the numbers 1 through 9, Sarah is alluding to the Pythagorean Table. It clearly manifests the value of all three of Sarahs symmetric prime numberswhich starts with the Key to Phi number 13 that invisibly completes the structure of the windows four triangles. It is his foundation for what would later become Speculative Freemasonry, and, as we have seen, it is ubiquitous throughout his Shakespearean work. Courtesy of the History Museums of San Jose. Additionally, we are reminded that the name William Shakespeare renders the numbers 7/11 as there are 7 letters in William, and 11 letters in Shakespeare. The pair wed in 1862 and began to build a life for themselves in Connecticut. This story begins with the union of two people, Sarah Lockwood Pardee and William Wirt Winchester. Inside, we find six, identical windows, all fashioned in a unique Spider-web design. It is because Sarah wants us to form an image of the windows as a cube. Furthermore, it is also the number that is emblematic of the Masonic 3rd Degree as the newly raised Master Mason is twice informed that the number refers to the 47th Proposition of Euclids Elements, better known as the Pythagorean Theorem. And, just to make sure we understand that her display of that number isnt accidental, Sarah repeated the number (according to the official, WMH literature) by building 47 staircases. Sarah = 5, Pardee = 6. In addition to her writing, Delia Bacon gave numerous public lectures to the citizens of New Haven; thus, New Haven, Connecticut was the actual birthplace of the Bacon is Shakespeare doctrine. Again, we should not be surprised that Sarah introduces us to her puzzle by demonstrating her view of her relationship to Bacon. It's thought most of the materials were reused elsewhere, but the tower itself was never rebuilt. Inside, it's a different story. Naturally, Sarah knew that we would eventually look up at the magnificent ceiling of her Ballroom. With the exception of the decorative middle panel that supports the 13 globe chandelier, we observe 9 main panels. Moreover, the Sun symbol is the insignia of the Senior Deacon of a Masonic Lodge. Another important feature of the Spider-web window is that each of its four sides form a triangle pointing to the circular center. Another remarkable symmetry occurs by simply multiplying: 11 x 777 = 8,547, then, 8,547 x 13 = 111111. 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. He died on March 7, 1881 in New Haven, Connecticut, United Statesat 43 years of age. Tours are conducted of both the house and the grounds on those days. Today, the house is open to the public every day except Christmas Day. Death . The ordinal numbers in the sequence are: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, ad infinitum. For one thing, it truly possesses the quality of captivating those who venture in. Artists such as Georges Braque, and Pablo Picasso were painting stunning images depicting a forth dimensional world view appropriately called cubism. However, no one was more in step with Sarah Winchesters perspective than the Dutch artist M.C. She has gone to great pains to leave a trail of clues that will lead us to the truth. It was built by the widow of a firearms magnate. She wants us to know and understand certain things. There are more stories about the Winchester Mystery House than there are rooms, and it's easy to see why. Three dimensional objects such as cubes, spheres and pyramids would seem impossible because our limited perception would only permit us to observe these objects as two dimensional squares, circles and triangles. He was buried in Evergreen Cemetery in New Haven. What a practical woman. The New Haven Register, dated 1886, lists Sarah as having been removed to Europe. No other information has survived to tell us exactly where Mrs. Winchester went during those years or what her activities consisted of. First, Sarah wants us to achieve a better understanding of her by comparing her with Cressida and Richard II. She also acquired a vast and uncanny knowledge of Masonic-Rosicrucian ritual and symbology. Such a notion, as any practicing Rosicrucian knows, is utterly absurd. As with all things in the House, there is more, here, than meets the eye. Gun Company owner, 2nd President, Winchester President. Unfortunately, due to an infantile decease known as Marasmus (a severe form of malnutrition due to the bodys inability to metabolize proteins), Annie died 40 days later. The birth of the Winchesters daughter, Anne Pardee Winchester (in 1866) resulted in a new set of numbers for Sarah to deal with. Moreover, the name Winchester appears precisely 27 times in the Shakespearean works. With the proper realignment of the six window panes, we now have three letter Cs, two of which have a ball tucked under the top and bottom horns of the letters arc. Since this point is the point in the series at which there is no further change in the, growth constant, this would seem to be a reasonable basis for taking 13 periods as, the maximum number of periods by which a reference point and a structuring, point can be separated in order to constitute a coherent waveThere are other, approaches as well that arrive at the number 13 as defining the limit of a coherent, structure. The offer was turned down. Furthermore, she began crafting her puzzle long before the construction of the House. Adding further to the hide and seek theme, Sarah has introduced another tantalizing element to the Windows design. Thus, Sarah induces us to multiply 11 x 7. Winchester didn't use blueprints to build; she just sketched out ideas on napkins and scrap paper. As with Francis Bacon, Sarah realized that numerical synchronicity embodies the deepest underlying dynamic of destiny. We may well ask what value does higher dimensional mathematics have for us? This is critical to understanding both Sarahs motivation and thinking. [2] Popular legends, which began during her lifetime, held that she was convinced she was cursed by the spirits of those killed by the Winchester rifle, and the only way to protect herself was to continually add on to her California home. At 5:12 a.m. on April 18, 1906, the San Francisco Bay Area was rocked by a major earthquake. The entrance referred to by the tour guides as the Switchback Staircase (or the goofy) is built so as to wind from the center, outward, round and round, in the shape of an Archimedes Spiral until it reaches the second floor. Moreover, you must then conclude that these Shakespearean Windows function as the introductory step of Mrs. Winchesters elaborate puzzle and she is inviting you (the initiate) to actively (not passively) participate in solving the puzzle. Thus, the House has stood for decades waiting patiently for the inheritorthe enlightened initiate who is capable of completing the puzzle! Sarahs special design for the insignia of the Senior Deacon of a Masonic Blue Lodge. The clear evidence ensconced in Sarahs ingenious design of her Shakespearean Windows indicates she understood (or, at the very least, interpreted) Bacons message to be a harbinger of her own existence by which she would carry on his legacy. According to historical documents, the Winchesters and the Pardees were well acquainted, particularly through the auspices of New Havens First Baptist Church. One architectural device Sarah used to illustrate her view of the relationship between the numbers 11 and 56 is her arrangement of the decorative wooden posts that align the exterior railings of the two, third floor balconies above the front porch of the House. Sarah Winchester was fully aware of Riemannian geometry when she incorporated higher dimensional properties into the architecture of her amazing puzzle. Escher also saw the reflective images in mirrors as true representations of higher dimensional space. A close scrutiny of the bottom portion of the Shakespearean Windows reveals the crooked staff entangled in a serpent-like creature. He was the only son of Oliver Fisher Winchester and Jane Ellen Hope. There are also some centrally located passages and stairways that serve as shortcuts allowing a virtual leap from one side of the House to the other. Moreover, Bacon applied the theme of concealment to everything he touchedincluding his own life (the same was equally true of Sarah Winchester). Now that weve had at look at the superficial significance of the Shakespearean windows, lets analyze the matter more deeply. 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. Elsewhere about the House, Sarah throws other numbers into the mix, and we begin to see that Winchester numbers, although generally connected to family names, ultimately take on a much deeper meaning. William Wirt Winchester, age unknown. According to io9's Annalee Newitz and her research for the California American Studies Association Annual Meeting, what's rarely mentioned in Winchester Mystery House history is that Winchester was only partial heir to the company. Sarah and William had a child Annie Pardee Winchester. It was Vitruvius who first expounded the virtue of the mathematical value of Phi (the Divine Proportion, Golden Ratio, etc.). This symbol was used by Bacon in many of his engravings. Such symmetry is governed by harmonics of wave function in which the growth of any given wave pattern flattens out when it reaches the 8th ordinal point in the Fibonacci sequence, which corresponds to the number 13. Sarah Winchester, formerly Sarah Lockwood Pardee, married William Wirt Winchester on 30 September 1862. The architect theme shows up in virtually everything he produced. Columbia, Mo. In 2017, The Mercury News reported a new general manager overhauled the way things are done there, opening 40 more rooms to the public, including unfinished spaces and cubbyholes created by the haphazard construction. For this reason, the Mayans and the Chinese had 13 month calendars. The simplest mathematical expression of cubical symmetry is 111111, which Sarah hoped we would discover by simply multiplying the number 11 x 777 x 13. Thus, 13 is the most coherent, unifying number in the Fibonacci series. After William's death in 1881, Sarah inherited roughly $20 million (over $500 million in 2019 dollars) as well as fifty percent of the Winchester Arms company which left her with a continued income equal to $1,000 a day (or $26,000 a day in 2019 dollars). Each peg held a different colored robe, consistent with the Rosicrucian practice of wearing a different colored robe for each lunar month. There was a lock of her husband's hair, a lock of her daughter's hair, and their obituaries. As we have seen, he was the mastermind who single-handedly sired the English Renaissance and the Age of Enlightenment that would follow. 4 + 9 = 13. In both the Rosicrucian and Masonic traditions, the Hourglass is emblematic of human life. Furthermore, the realignment of these two panes gives us the words THE TABLES OF THOUGHTS PEOPLE. It is no coincidence that these particular words, thus rearranged, now add up (in the Pythagorean Cipher) to the number 111.
