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. 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;

forms; one word is formed from the initial and final letters of one or more words; or the letters of one name are taken as the initials or finals of the words of a sentence. for example, in deut. 30 v. 12, moses asks, who shall go up for us to heaven? the initial letters of the original words mi iolh lnv hshmilh, form the word milh, mylah, which word means circumcision, and the final letters are ihvh, the name jehovah: hence it was suggested that circumcision was a feature of the way to god in heaven. amen, amn is from the initials of adonai melekh namen "the lord and faithful king; and the famous rabbinic word of power used for talismans agla is formed of the initials of the words "ateh gibur leolam adonai "the lord ever powerful" or tu potens in saeculum dominine. temura is a more compl

authors that these kabalistic ideas resemble those of the alexandrian philosophy and of the gnostics, embodying notions derived from the pythagoreans, the platonists and from indian brahmanism and buddhism. let us more fully consider the conceptions of the divinity. isaac myer writes--god may be regarded from four points of view; as the eternal one, or ain sup, ain suph; as ahih, aheie, i am; as ihvh, who was, is and will be; and as alhim, elohim, god in nature, called adonai or lord. in the english old testament the word ihvh is translated lord, and elohim by god: boutell calls jah a contraction of jehovah. the jehovah of the old testament--as a tribal deity of personal characteristics, demonstrating his power and glory to a chosen people; oppressing other nations to do them service, and

TYSON DONALD THE POWER OF THE WORD

st published in 1962. despite its eastern title, this work contains a great deal of practical advice on matters of western ceremonial magic. it should be studied together with this author's book, concenwation. shah, idries. the secr o. 277 fall the words of power employed in magic since the dawn of time, none is more mysterious and profound than the ineffable name of god with four hebrew letters, ihvh (717'1, called by the greeks tetragrammaton. by uttering it, god created the world and breathed life into the first man. moses called upon its authority to bring down the ten plagues on egypt. solomon used it to compel the spirits of the earth to build the first temple at jerusalem, then turned it upon them and sealed them beneath the sea in a prison of brass. prophets and exorcists used its

ral jewish population, but esoteric sects and solitary magicians continued to rely upon its potency as the foundation of all their works. in the middle ages, ba'alai shem, or masters of the name, employed tetragrammaton to heal the sick and banish evil spirits. one such ba'al shem was the great jewish magician rabbi loew of prague, who breathed life into lifeless clay by means of the power of the ihvh and with it created the dreaded golem. during the renaissance, xiv tetragrammaton johannes reuchlin and other christian kabbalists transformed tetragrammaton into the esoteric fivefold name of jesus and proclaimed it the key to all the mysteries. alchemists employed it prominently in their emblems, as did visionary mystics such as robert fludd and jacob boehme. almost all the great figures in

ique will prove of immense value to occultists, both in their ritual work and as a mnemonic for the forms and associations of the banners. as i will demonstrate, it also provides a graphic explanation of the underlying relationship between the banners and the zodiac signs. the fivefold names of jesus, ihshvh and ihvshh, which were created by the christian kabbalists of the renaissance to supplant ihvh, are examined in both a theoretical and practical way, and their vital role in the hieroglyphic monad of john dee is revealed. clues provided by dee in his monad and in his enochian keys lead to the extraction, by traditional kabbalistic methods, of a previously unsuspected order of twenty-four angels, which i have named the wings of the wind, from the biblical book of the revelation of st. j

rtant symbolic forms: the throne of god, described by st. john in revelation 4; and the cosmic clock, which appears throughout the enochian diaries of john dee, but particularly in the third and fourteenth enochian keys. as i will demonstrate in this work, it is possible to prove that the throne and the cosmic clock are at root the same syrnbol, both designed to express the structure and parts of ihvh. the throne of god and the cosmic clock illustrate the strong link that exists between the vision of st. john, dee's hieroglyphic monad, and the enochian diaries, and unlock many of the secrets in these works. because the throne and clock are so important in understanding tetragrammaton, i have examined the system of enochian magic in considerable detail in chapter xvi. xvi tetragrammaton app

le during the benediction of the people (num. 6:22-7) and on the day of atonement, when the high priest spoke it ten times before the assembled worshippers (lev. 16:30. because unpointed hebrew is composed entirely of consonants, it was possible to write the name in the books of the torah and yet still conceal its pronunciation. it appears as 717, which is transliterated into the latin characters ihvh (sometimes yhwh or jhwh. but the name could not be written in greek without revealing the way of saying it. josephus was a priest and knew the correct pronunciation of the name, but states in his antiquities (11, 12, 4) that religion forbids him to divulge it. philo calls the name ineffable and says that it is lawful only for those whose ears and tongues are purified by wisdom to hear and utt

ion of the name to their disciples "mouth to ear" once every seven years. it was the most serious blasphemy for a layman to speak the name. philo says the penalty was death. it shocked and enraged the rabbis that for some time after its use was forbidden, the sect of the samaritans continued to employ the name in their judicial oaths. a jew reading aloud the scriptures who encountered the letters ihvh was directed to speak the name "adonai" which means lord. if the names ihvh and adonai occurred together on the page "elohim" translated the omnipotent, was voiced in place of the ineffable name to avoid the awkward adonai-adonai. this continues to be the practice today. with such fanatical secrecy, it was inevitable that the true pronunciation of the name would be lost, but this did not take

tradition has it that the name was first revealed to moses when he went up upon horeb, the mountain of god, and saw the burning bush history of the name 3 (exod. 3:14-51, and it is explicitly stated that prior to this revelation to moses the name was not known among the hebrews "and i appeared unto abraham, unto isaac, and unto jacob, by the name of god almighty (shaddai; but by my name jehovah (ihvh) was i not known to them (exod. 6:3. this has led to speculation that the name originally belonged to the resident deity of the holy mountain who was worshipped by the tribes that dwelt in the region south of palestine. in receiving the name, moses also took on the authority of the god of the mountain and conveyed its power to his people. that is why he married a daughter of the priest of mid

s also took on the authority of the god of the mountain and conveyed its power to his people. that is why he married a daughter of the priest of midian (exod. 3: l b t h e tribe of midian grazed their flocks in the land of the sacred mountain and worshipped its god with sacrifices. that is why he led the israelites to this mountain after their deliverance from egypt and taught them how to worship ihvh. he wished them to have the continuing protection and blessing of this most potent god who had secured their freedom through his miracles. the meaning of the name is not known with certainty. it is often stated that while the numerous other names of god are merely descriptive of divine attributes (see the comments of moses maimonides in appendix b, the ineffable name means supreme deity compl

ovah, which occurs in many english bibles, 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 th

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 and the vowel sounds for adonai together, and the result was the impossible hybrid "jehovah" the correct pronunciation is thought to be yahveh or yahweh, with the accent falling on the second syllable. writing in greek around the end of the second century, clement of alexandria states that the pronunciation is i c u x, iaove. variants in the manuscripts are ia ove, ia ova1 and iaov. epiphaniu

onounce the name by sounding out each of its hebrew letters fully: yod-he-vau-he (pronounced "yod-hayvav- hay) in order to more accurately express its compound esoteric meaning and also to acknowledge that the true name is unspeakable. no scholar or mystic of modern times, regardless of depth of learning or profundity of intuition, can be sure that a particular way of sounding the four consonants ihvh is identical to the way used by the high priest in the history of the name 5 temple at jerusalem before the roman conquest. it is equally impossible to be certain that the pronunciation of the jewish priests, though historically accurate, was the correct mystical manner of vibrating the name. merely because it was spoken a certain way for centuries does not necessarily mean that it was spoken

casually as we might change hats. in magic, a name is far more significant. it embodies the identity, the very being, of what it signifies. when a name is rightly vibrated by the tongue and lips upon the air, it comes alive. a resonance is established between the living name and the thing itself. by manipulating the name, the potential of the named thing is released upon the world. to articulate ihvh is to harness the power of supreme deity, both to create and destroy, for human ends. according to the esoteric doctrine of the jewish mystic-magicians known as kabbalists, the structure of tetragrammaton forms the blueprint upon which the entire universe of space and time, matter and energy, good and evil, humans and angels, is based. the name does not merely reflect the makeup of the world

d sealed the depth with i v h. he looked forward, and sealed the east with h i v. he looked backward, and sealed the west with h v i. he looked 8 tetragrammaton to the right, and sealed the south with v i h. he looked to the left, and sealed the north with v h i (sepher yetzirah, westcott translation [new york: weiser, 19801, p. 17. the very substance of space itself is composed of the letters of ihvh. only three letters of the name are employed, not all four, because it is possible to permute three letters in six different ways, and in three-dimensional space there are six fundamental directions-up, down; before, behind; left, right. this is sufficient, because there are only three different letters in the name, the h being repeated. in the later kabbalistic theory of the zohar, which was

of the kabbalah. from highest to lowest these sephiroth are: 1. kether-the crown 2. chokmah-wisdom, the supernal father (abba) 3. binah-understanding, the supernal mother (aima) 4. chesed-mercy 5. geburah-severity 6. tiphareth-beauty, the son (messiah) 7. netzach-victory 8. hod-splendor 9. yesod-foundation 10. malkuth-the kingdom, the daughter tree of the sephiroth 10 tetragrammaton the holy name ihvh is specifically assigned to llphareth, the heart of the sephirothic tree. in a sense, the sixth sephirah is in itself the active process of creation. the three highest spheres, called the supernals, are considered to be so exalted that a gulf separates them from the lower seven, while malkuth has no active force of its own but only receives the impression of the nine higher sephiroth. recogni

t of the substance of the divine "like the grasshopper whose clothing is part of itself" the length of the garment is the twenty-two hebrew letters, which form 231 gates, the total number of possible combinations of two letters (ab, ag, ad, etc. the breadth of the garment, measured by its hem, is composed of four extended forms of tetragrammaton. it is possible to write out each of the letters of ihvh in four different ways, each of which has a different numerical value: traditional meanings tetragrammaton in the form of the human body 45 (m7,1m1, m7,71) ivd, ha, vav, ha 52( 77,11,77,?1) ivd, hh, w, hh 72('7,191 '7,71) ivd, hi, viv, hi 63('7,1m1 '7,713) ivd, hi, vav, hi this garment is said to be twice the area necessary to cover the entire universe. after it was woven, it was folded in ha

to the feet. there is another more simple pattern that shows the letters of tetragrammaton arranged one above the other in the crude shape of the human body. yod is the head of this figure, the first he its arms and shoulders, vau its breathing torso, and the second he its pelvis and legs. the esoteric message inherent in this seemingly childish stick man is extremely significant. not only is the ihvh the living pattern of the creator whereby the power of god may be released and harnessed, and the structure of the universe through which the world may be subdued, but it is also the shape and foundation of humanity. its proper use permits a human being to rule, not only other human beings, but more importantly his or her own nature. by tetragrammaton it is possible to separate out and refine

c a thing is not made true because we say it is so; it is true because we know below the level of thought that it actually is so. the most fundamental correspondence with the name is the number four, because the name is made up of four letters. four is the number of manifest being. all the universe as we know it exists on the fourth level of creation, assiah. existence itself is assiah. therefore ihvh is the power word for the realization of purpose, a quality that makes it highly useful in practical magic. the quaternary is visually embodied in two dimensions by the square, which is a flat representation of the three-dimensional cube, mathematically the square squared, the most material of all symbols. square and cube often occur coupled with tetragrammaton in jewish and occult practice

e temple of jerusalem built by king solomon, where god communicated his purposes to the high priest, was twenty cubits 14 tetragrammaton in all dimensions (1 kings 6:20; the altar itself was square (2 chron. 4:1, as was the breastplate of aaron (exod. 28:16; holy jerusalem described in the vision of st. john the divine is in the shape of a cube (rev. 21:16. all these are places where the power of ihvh is manifested. there is a numerological paradox in the structure of tetragrammaton. although it has four letters, two of those letters are the same. in the most straightforward sense, it is a name of four letters, but in another sense it is a name of three letters. it embodies and conveys the essences of both three and four simultaneously. this is a great mystery that extends far beyond the b

mysticism. the relationship between three and four is the dynamic upon which the world is constructed. it is one of the most arcane secrets of both religion and magic. the greek sage pythagoras graphically captured this eternal marriage of three and four in his famous tetractys, a triangle formed out of ten dots, with four dots at its base. for centuries occultists have used the hebrew letters of ihvh in place of the dots, which lends the tetractys a much more intricate and organic aspect: three is divine and heavenly; four is mundane and earthly. in christianity, there are the three persons in god, namely the father, son, and holy ghost, and the four evangelists, matthew, mark, luke, and john, who make manifest or establish the law of heaven upon the earth. three is perfect and sacred; fo

. the same shifting of emphasis between three and four that occupied the minds of alchemists and christian theologians is evident in buddhist symbolism as well. as jung points out (psychology and alchemy, p. 96, all lamaistic mandalas are based on a quaternary system, yet the great symbol of the world wheel is based on a ternary system. the four occult elements naturally fall under the letters of ihvh. masculine and creative fire is given to the yod; feminine and receptive water is given to the first he; active intellectual air is placed under the vau; and heavy material earth is put with the second he. this quaternary of manifest elements that compose the substance of existence is separate and different from the ternary of ethereal elements that occur in the hebrew alphabet, where the mot

e the structure of the planets with the structure of tetragrammaton. the sun corresponds with the initial yod. the moon is the first he. mercury is the threefold aspect of the name, ihv, out of which the six directions of space are formed in sepher etzirah. there are six possible permutations of the glyph for mercury. the paired planets venus-mars and jupiter-saturn may be related to the fourfold ihvh itself, because these four planets have in them the principle of earth, yet are not complete individually, but only when considered as a set. these three principles, under the names cardinal, fixed, and mutable, together with the four occult elements fire, water, air, and earth, combine in pairs to form the twelve signs of the zodiac. not surprisingly, there are twelve possible permutations o

. then when you are in the same situation repeat that prayer- except entirely to yourself, making references to no god but you. continue this practice until you have results. come to see yourself as the cause for all seeming miracles in your life. it is you, the self created god, not some divinely appointed destiny. 5. encourage the worship of yourself by others. now don't be a prig about it like ihvh- don't insist on no gods but me- etc. certainly don't be a jealous god, you can help others in their self deification. be sure you have a nice birthday party, that others have chance to praise you when you do well etc. then when you've created a little friend and fan club, begin to practice the simple lesser black magic of telling the story that people who do good things for you have good thi
