In creating a new Gematria system (english), I sought to
recreate the Tree of Life paths to allow for 26 in number.
Having done this, I noticed a Unicursal Hexagram formed 
within it.  I figured others might be interested, so I post this.

---------------------------------------------

The paths I added were those from the Spheres traditionally
labelled 2, Chokmah, to 5, Geburah; from 3, Binah, to 4, Chesed;
from 5, Geburah, to 9, Yesod; and from 4, Chesed, to 9, Yesod.
This adds 4 to the typical 22 for a complete set of 26.

I've also reordered the Spheres to conform to our english system,
reading (left to right, rather than right to left).  Eventually
I'll rename the Spheres (perhaps based on the old qabalah) and
perhaps do some work on visualization on the paths themselves.

For now, here is the Unicursal Hexagram I found:

------------------------------------------------------------------

                   7.                4.               2.
                     \              / \              /
                      \            /   \            /
                       \          /     \          /
                        \        /       \        /
                         \      /         \      /
                          \    /           \    /
                           \  /             \  /
10.       9.               .\/               \/.             .1 
                          6 /\               /\ Da'ath
                           /  \             /  \
                          /    \           /    \
                         /      \         /      \
                        /        \       /        \
                       /          \     /          \
                      /            \   /            \
                     /              \ /              \
                   8.                5.               3.

                 
------------------------------------------------------------------

While there is no STRAIGHT path between 3 and 7, 2 and 8, the
pattern is evident, since there is a path from 3 to 6 and 6 to 7,
2 to 6 and 6 to 8.  I don't know if there would be any value to
ESTABLISH such paths, yet the pattern above (at least) is very
interesting to me.
 
------------------------------------------------------------------

In any case, the pattern for the paths I see in the english system
is as follows:

                                 1.
                               / |  \
                              /  |   \
                             A   |    B
                            /    C     \
                          2 -----|--D-- 3
                          |\\    |    //|
                          | FE   |   HI |
                          G | \__|__/ | J
                          | | __/|\__ | |
                          | \/   |   \/ |
                          | /\   |   /\ |
                          |/  \  |  /  \|
                          4----\-|-/-K--5
                          |\\  | | |  //|
                          || \ \ | / / || 
                          |\  L \|/ O  /|
                          | M  \-6-/  P |
                          N  \__/|\__/  |Q
                          |  /\  |  /\  | 
                          | /  | | |  \ |
                          7----------U--8
                          |\    \|/    /|
                          \ \V---9---X/ /
                           \-    |    -/
                             \W  |  Y/
                               \ Z /
                                \|/
                                 10

We'll see if the graphic comes through.  In any case, the substitution is
as follows:

----------------------------------------------------------------
You'll note that much has remained the same.  I intend to stay with
as much traditional structure as possible, since the whole seems to
be sound.  Comments on any of the above is welcome.  Thanks.
