the true pronunciation of it is a most secret arcanum, and is a secret of secrets "he who can rightly pronounce it, causeth heaven and earth to tremble, for it is the name which rusheth through the universe" therefore when a devout jew comes upon it in reading the scripture, he either does not attempt to pronounce it, but instead makes a short pause, or else he substitutes for it the name adonai, adni, lord. the radical meaning of the word is "to be" and it is thus, like ahih, eheieh, a glyph of existence. it is capable of twelve transpositions, which all convey the meaning of "to be; it is the only word that will bear so many transpositions without its meaning being altered. they are called the "twelve banners of the mighty name" and are said by some to rule the twelve signs of the zodiac

"to be; it is the only word that will bear so many transpositions without its meaning being altered. they are called the "twelve banners of the mighty name" and are said by some to rule the twelve signs of the zodiac. these are the twelve banners- ihvh, ihhv, ivhh, hvhi, hvih, hhiv, vhhi, vihh, vhih, hihv, hivh, hhvi. there are three other tetragrammatic names, which are ahih, eheieh, existence; adni, adonai, lord; and agla. this last is not properly speaking, a word, but is a notariqon of the sentence, athh gbvr lovlm adni, steh gebor le0olahm adonai "thou art might, for ever, o lord" a brief explanation of agla is this; a, the one first; a, the one last; g, the trinity in unity; l, the completion of the great work. but ihvh, the tetragrammaton, as we shall presently see, contains all th

h, the tetragrammaton, as we shall presently see, contains all the sephiroth with the exception of kether, and specially signifies the lesser countenance, microprosopus, the king of the qabalistical sephirotic greatest trinity,and the son in his human incarnation, in the christian acceptation of the trinity. therefore, as the son reveals the father, so does ihvh, jehovah, reveal ahih, eheieh. and adni is the queen, by whom alone tetragrammaton 82 can be grasped, whose exaltation into binah is found in the christian assumption of the virgin. the tetragrammaton ihvh is referred to the sephiroth, thus: the upper-most point of the letter yod, i, is said to refer to kether; the letter i itself to chokmah, the father of microprosopus; the letter h, or "the supernal he" to binah, the supernal mot

ouping of the ten divine qualities, upon this plane, into a divine tetrad, is symbolised by yod heh vau heh, the tetragrammaton, the kabalistic jehovah, not the yahveh of the exoteric books, but the original of that god, whose reflections of a nation's patron is formulated in the old testament: it is "the ineffable name" never pronounced, its true sound is lost, and the jew replaces it by adonai, adni; it is unpronounceable because its real vowels are unknown; it ceased to be spoken before the vowel points were introduced (note--there are no extant hebrew works with vowel points earlier than the tenth century--a. e. waite) we find that the kabalah contemplates a period when chaos existed, a period of repose and absence of manifestation, when the negative reigned supreme: this is the pralay

on of the three names abraham, isaac, and jacob. jacob reconciles the first two, and therefore takes twice as much as they do, as follows. jacob signifies tiferet, and as we know, tiferet reconciles and harmonizes the preceding sefirot of chesed and gevurah [the numerical value of] the name avraham [abraham] comprises [the numerical value of] the name yaakov plus [the numerical value of] the name adni [plus the kolel. avraham: alef-beit-reish-hei-mem= 1+ 2+ 200+ 5+ 40= 248. yaakov: yud-ayin-kuf-beit= 10+ 70+ 100+ 2= 182. 4 genesis 28:10. the arizal on parashat lech lecha 71 adni: alef-dalet-nun-yud= 1+ 4+ 50+ 10= 65. 182+ 65+ 1= 248 [the numerical value of] the name yitzchak [isaac] also comprises [the numerical value of] the name yaakov plus [the numerical value of] the name havayah. yitz

d his own thoughts mirrored in the wavelets of the ever-dancing waters of life. here again existence, as the world mystery, became to him the supreme riddle of the human sphinx; and in his strivings to read it, in his doubts, which minerva -like sprang from his former certainties, he informed within himself the first letter of the name of god, the virgin impregnated by the one idea_ the vision of adonai incarnated in her son. illumined by this one supreme longing which had burnt up his coarser desires, he passed through the next ritual to 234 the illusive foundation of yesod, which in its apparent equilibrium contains a falsified reflection of the supreme path of the fool. for, though its element is air, it is not the aethyr of zero, the breath of equilibrium, any more than air as a mixtur

eeding out of the world's attraction, becomes as an universe to itself. this cleaving of the veil of the vault of the adepts is in truth the precipitation of the jechidah from the elemental flux that goes to make man. the virgin mother of malkuth, the earth fecundated by air, water and fire, is delivered of her son the spirit, who is the adept reborn in the vault as christian rosencreutz; not yet adonai the christ, the son of god, but adonai, jehesuah, the son of man, jesus the carpenter who one day will fashion the tree of life into the image of the supernal christ. no longer is the vision of adonai a mere glimpse as of a flickering light without, lost in the distance of a great forest, but a light which burns as a lamp within a lantern, and which sheds its beams equally in all directions

his point i commence to restrict myself in my writing, seeing that by the grace of the lord i have submitted and consigned you unto a master so great that he will never let you err."44 thus, briefly though it be, we have run through the system 244 as advocated by one of the greatest masters of magic in the west. with perfect lucidity abramelin brings us step by step towards the master_ augoeides, adonai, higher self, call him what you will. by means of symbols of purity_ by cleanliness and clean living_ he leads us on by meditation and concentration through prayer to a one-pointedness, a vision or conversation with the master so full of goodness and beauty, so full of rapture and ecstasy that no human tongue can express the same. alas! that we are not simple-minded enough to accept it, and

ether the master have legs or no legs, for god does not depend on 42 "the book of the sacred magic" p. 81. 43 "ibid" pp. 82,85. 44 "ibid" p. 85. the education of man's mind, or the standard of his knowledge, or the idols he has set up. in some cases hostility to prayer would prove more fruitful than devotion to it. he who believes in denying and blaspheming god will attain to the divine vision of adonai as speedily as he who believes in praying to him and worshipping his holy name; so long as he "enflame" himself with blasphemy and denial. it is the "will" 245 to accomplish, to conquer and overcome, which in both cases carries with it the supreme reward, and not the mere fact of denying or believing, which are but instruments towards this end. but, be it well remembered! this mystery of th

ightenment but mania; there fore it is that all the great masters have set the task of courage before that of endeavour.57 he who "dares" to "will" will "will" to know, and knowing will keep silence;58 for even to such as have entered the supreme order, there is not way found whereby they may break the stillness and communicate to those who have not ceased to hear.59 the guardian of the temple is adonai, he alone holds the key of the portal, seek it of him, for there is none other that can open for thee the door. now to dare much is to will a little, so it comes about that though hatha yoga is the physical yoga which teaches the aspirant how to control his body, yet is it also raja yoga 77 which teach him how to control his mind. little by little, as the body comes under control, does the

, imperishable, and everywhere present. it was their need of light, and of his creative energy, that was felt by all men; and nothing was more fearful to them than his absence. his beneficent influences caused his identification with the principle of good; and the brahma of the hindus, the mithras of the persians, and athom, amun, phtha, and osiris, of the egyptians, the bel of the chaldeans, the adonai of the ph nicians, the adonis and apollo of the greeks became but personifications of the sun, the regenerating principle, image of that fecundity which perpetuates and rejuvenates the world's existence. so too the struggle between the good and evil principles was personified, as was that between life and death, destruction and re-creation; in allegories and fables which poetically represen

scriptive titles. several errors were made in this list of divine names by the golden dawn, and these mistakes have been carried down to the present in most occult systems. the errors arise from a lack of clear understanding that in hebrew the greatest name of god, ihvh, is never uttered. when it is encountered in biblical texts, the name adon- ai (lord) is usually substituted; or, where ihvh and adonai occur together, the name elohim is substituted for ihvh to avoid the awkward "adonai adonai" reading. in the golden dawn it was the practice to pronounce ihvh by vocalizing each of the four hebrew letters separately "yud, heh, vav, heh" this is a legitimate magical technique used in the kabbalah. the trouble is, it results in some confu- sion of the ten names, which was further compounded b

zed, so that it can be distinguished from all other names. some of the names used in the golden dawn are really two separate names run together. the restored list of names, which differs in minor respects from the list used in most modern magic, is as follows: 1. kether-eheieh 2. chokmah-yah 3. binah-ihvh (vocalized as "elohim) 4. chesed-el 5. geburah-elohim gibor 6. tiphareth-ihvh (vocalized as "adonai) 7. netzach-ihvh tzabaoth (vocalized "adonai tzabaoth) 8. hod-elohirn tzabaoth 9. yesod-shaddai (or el chai) 10. mallruth-adonai malekh (or adonai ha-aretz) the tetragrammaton (ihvh, called by kabbalists "the distinctive excellent name" to distinguish it from all lesser names of god, occurs for both binah and tiphareth. in the case of binah, it is pronounced "elohim" and in the case of tiph

ihvh when they encounter the tetragrammaton while reading the pentateuch in order to express the name aloud or in their own thoughts, rather than leave a gap in the text (the average jew does not pronounce ihvh by sounding its individual letters-this is an esoteric practice of kabbalists. the golden dawn linked this name with the south and the element fire, because fire is the element of will and adonai is a name of command. in the rituals of the original golden dawn, this name was sounded in three syllables, but to preserve the fourfold symmetry of the four names of the quarters i prefer to voice it in four sounds that express its four hebrew letrers. eheieh is usually translated "i am" or "i will be"-it denotes pure existence, and is the name by which god described himself on mt. horeb w

the element water, because water is a formative element and eheieh is a formative name. in the golden dawn it was pronounced with three syllables, but for the reasons already given, i prefer to voice it in four distinct sounds in this exercise. 96 standing exercises agla is written all in capital letters since it is an acronym composed of the first letters from the hebrew words ateh gibor le-olam adonai that translate "thou art mighty forever, 0 lord" this name was linked to the north and to the element earth by the golden dawn, because it is a composite name and earth is a composite element. in the golden dawn it was usually pronounced in two syllables, but in this exercise i prefer to express it with four sounds. note the difference between the voicing of ihvh and agla in the exercise. i

ating individual sounds based on the separate letters. to take as an example the hebrew letter k, equivalent to the english a, it is the difference between vibrating "aleph (the name of the letter) and "aaaah (the sound of the letter. if you wish to pronounce the four divine names of the quarters as they were vibrated by the members of the original golden dawn, express ihvh as "yod-hay- vahv-hay" adonai as "ah-doh-nye" eheieh as "eh-heh-yeh" and agla as "ahglah" try doing the exercise alternately with both forms for several days, and choose the form you prefer. keep your throat and mouth open when vibrating divine names or other words of power, and project the sound from your diaphragm so that your entire chest and nose vibrate. when projected properly, vibrated words have immense carrying

name of power that best expresses the force with which you wish to charge the object as written in hebrew letters upon the sphere of your heart-center. for example, we will assume you are charging a wand with fiery virtue, so that it will thereafter serve as a weapon for the projection of your will. as noted in the previous exercise, the divine name of elemental fire in the golden dawn system is adonai. visualize the four hebrew letters ofadonai written from right to left upon the bright yellow sphere of your heart-center. exhale deeply while holding this inner visualization and continuing to gaze at the object. begin to inhale slowly, and at the same time raise your arms on either side of your body with your elbows straight and your fingers extended stiffly together so that each hand res

as you step forward with your right foot a &stance of twelve inches or so to shift your center of balance toward the object, throw your hands downward toward the object with your elbows locked and your fingers stiff, and begin to vibrate on your exhaled breath the name of power. project your will strongly through your eyes and hands at the object while vibrating the name, which in the example is adonai. since the name is used in an elementa1 context, each hebrew letter of the fourfold name is voiced separately, as in the previous exercise. the correct posture for projection is with the right foot advanced in front of the left a little more than the length of the foot itself, both heels pressed firmly to the floor; the body leaning forward at an angle; the arms pointing stiffly to the fron

further prevent this reflux that the eyes are closed at the end of the exercise. it is not enough to charge an object, you must charge it with a specific potency suitable to your purpose. divine names of power should be used when employing this vibratory formula. the four names given in the previous exercise embody the qualities of the four elements. their golden dawn associations are: iiivh-air, adonai-fire, eheieh-water, agla-earth. almost any purpose may be categorized under one of the elements, making these four names particularly useful for charging objects and talismans. practice projecting the energies of the four elements in turn, but project no more than one elemental force in any given day. the power of 104 standing exercises air may be projected into a short dagger; the power of

les, including the king james, is the result of an error that arose due to a lack of familiarity with hebrew scribal practices on the part of european scholars of the fourteenth century. in hebrew, all the letters are consonants, and the vowels sounded with them are indicated by putting small marks or 4 tetragrammaton "points" near the letters. the consonants ihvh were pointed with the vowels for adonai in hebrew bibles to indicate that when ihvh was encountered it should be read as adonai. ordinarily, when such a substitution is made, the consonants of the substituted word are written in the margin to avoid confusion, but since the use of adonai for ihvh was so well known to jewish readers, this was deemed unnecessary. european scholars, unaware of this practice, read the consonants ihvh
