I don't fully understand why Linda, who discovered this magic, use this specific word.

It contains LIE, LIAR! Why not use Star Art, Word Art, or Word Magick?

It's compound number is 33,
and single number 6.

Linda ordained Lexigrams from another word which is explained in Star Signs but since my copy got stolen....I can't look for it.
(I loaned my friends for awhile but she took it back..)

I think the fact that it contains LIE is very important and holds a lesson in it for us all.

There was a pretty lively discussion about this several months ago which sent me back to Linda Goodman's Star Sign book.

She refers to the Zebra Rule of Lexigramming. She says (and I quote) that ..."When a negative word appears in a name Lexigram and NO or NOT do not appear in the Lexigram, then that person has a problem, and needs to change his or her name to cancel the negative word or phrase, also changing to a more favorable numerological vibration - and also needs to be aware of the necessity of bringing this personal character flaw under control".

My conclusion was:

1) she must have had a great sense of humor to use "Lie" as the word for demonstrating her Zebra rule

2) This in NO WAY negates the magic of the Lexigrams and the Druids - in fact, that isn't even the issue here

3) Instead I believed she was testing us to be sure we read her rules carefully since she was very firm about her rules. She said if her rules weren't obeyed we won't learn anything of consequenceds or dependability.

So in conclusion, I did what you just did...I gave my lexigrams another name, specifically I started calling them ANGELgrams. This is also the reason you may see me refer to my "Druid Angels".

You may want to get Aselzion's take on this as he knew Linda.

Again, I do not think any of this negates the WORD MAGIC of lexigrams. Cool name, by the way.

Food for thought...

Lexigrams have been around since ancient times.
Lexigramming and Anagramming and were popular word play games at the turn of the 19th.& 20th. centuries.
However…
Many folks heard about Lexigrams by way of Linda Goodman’s
chapter….not a book…about her personal experiences with discovering them.
The word LEXIGRAM(S) was already being used in ape/primate communication studies
before she then later applied the term to this free form style of word play.
This form of word play has been around as long as Anagramming, which is thought to have “officially” begun with the Greek poet Lycophron.
Lycophron
Lexigramming was however, most likely, already a popular past time, which Lycophron simply documented and is thereby remembered for it.

My family called it; as far back as anyone remembered, back to the 1800s:

LEXAGRAMMES and LEXAGRAMMING.
My partner’s family called it for at least as far back as the early 1900s:
LEXAGRAMS and LEXAGRAMMING.
A friend who would be over 110 years old if she were alive today..
called it:
NAME/WORD SCRAMBLE…(not SCRABBLE.)
Other names I have heard (there are more)Lexigramming called by oldtimers are:
NAME FRENZY
BREAKOUT WORDS
MYSTERY WORDS
DECODER
SHAKEUPWORDS...(a homemade game where pennies with letters marked on them are put in a jar or can, shook, dumped, then each player takes 50 tiles or lettered pennies and sees who can get the most words the fastest. There are two ways to play, and if anyone is interested I will describe it.
