OK, I will give my interpretation of the meaning of the Tetragramatton.

Here are is the spiritual meaning attached to each letter of the Tetragramatton:

These are not my own meanings. They are meanings I learned.

Yud: The intial point of g-d’s creation of the universe.
Hey: The essence of g-d
Vav: Connects the meanings of any two letters
Hey: The essence of g-d

The Tetragrammatton reveals the manner by which god created the universe. Reading the letters from beginning to end the Tetragramatton reveals that god created the universe using a feedback loop composed of god referencing himself.

In Chaos theory order arises from disorder through the mechanism of non linear feedback loops. In Kurt Godel’s Incompleteness Theorem meaning arises from non meaning also through the mechanism of self referential logic that is inseperable from the structure of numbers.

In the first sentence of Genesis god creates light (the initial state of the universe) from a state of complete disorder (to-u-va-vo-u in Hebrew). This is the Tetragramattonic creation of the universe.

I moved this topic,as the Site discussion folder is for queries and suggestions etc,in regard to the actual running of the forum.

Hello and welcome,by the way. [grin]

Dear nissim,

Your interpretation of the meaning of the Most Holy Tetragrammaton is reminiscent of Donald Tyson's interpretation of the same in his book entitled "The Power of the Word: The Secret Code of Creation," published by Llewellyn in 2004.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us... The Tetragrammaton has had many interpretations, and as it is a mystery, it is a veritable cornucopia of speculation and conjecture.

I thought it was the five dimensional cube taken from the summation of the paths of the tree of life or the Great Work? 3 dimensions of space + 1 of time + 1 of spirit world = 5? Usually tetra means 4 but if you take it as 5 then you get the True Will of the Pentagram.

I saw the tetragrammaton in a kabbalah book making a triangle. This video was weird. It had a triangle that made the star of david from snake scales, then pyramids and stuff.

Can you explain it?

Sorry i am a n00b [yay]

Admin note:@jokester,I deleted the multiples of this post and put your question in a new topic of it's own.I 've left this post here too as it's relevant here and linked the video thread for clarity.

We don't like the same post being repeated like that,as it gets threads messed up and can make it confusing to follow replies/topic relvance gets affected.

You can also read what madame Blavatsky said about that...i'm sure it will help.

Here's an old scripture with the sacred tetragramaton on it.

From what I know, the Tetragrammaton has the property of bonding things other. Also, each of the letters represents one of the classical elements. So it's like bonding the four together to create. We could think of "God" as Spirit, the fifth element, and in this interpretation, being the Tetragrammaton a Divine Name, it would represent the creation of the world by God and the bonding together of all things.

Many things we could say here...each one of us can choose the theory that is more close to him.Read the link.

I'll read it. But you're right, there are many meanings, and some are even compatible with each other. One should use what works best for themselves.

You know....you can use tetragramaton with elemental magic when you need to consecrate a magical tool.There's a certain ritual for this matter. [wink]

you got it all wrong.

the tetragramaton is a five part word! not 4!

the YOD is 2 parts. the first is KUTZO SHEL YOD - the tip of yod. this signifies the tiny invisible dot that connects everything to the spiritual realms and G-d.

next is the YOD itself, the first letter symbolized, reduction or ZIMZUM. you must understand that the tetragrammaton symbolizes the process of creation as it occurs in everything.

like when a man and a woman bring a child. they first reduce themselvs or thier essence to a sperm cell or an egg. like a tree reduces itself to a seed.

the next letter is HEY, but if not used for holy purposes we jews spell and pronounce it as KAY, so this letter symbolizes growth and expantion, just as the embrio grows in the womb.

the next letter is VAV. its a straight line drawn from the top to bottom, it symbolizes, bringing something forth, from heaven to earth, down the utteres canal into the world.

then comes KAY again, to symbolize the secondery growth, a baby grows till maturity.

that is the tetragrammaton. everything in existance was created, is created and will be created according to the principles of that 4 letter word.

God's original name was "El (Al)" representing the bull (Ox - Aleph)."El (Al)" was also the generic word for God.

Later it was changed to "YHVH". When Moses asked for God's Name he said (Ehjeh asher ehjeh - I am that I am ) but NOT YHVH, that name was put in there! YHVH was also worshiped as a God of War by the ancient Canaanites.

Ba'el was the leader of all the Gods. Ba'el means (Father of God).


Yod (Arm with Closed Hand) + Hey (Man with arms raised) + Vav (Tent Peg) + Hey (Man with Arms raised).


Yod - representing Action or Work

Hey - representing Revelation (Insight)

Vav - representing Stability

Hey - representing Revelation (Insight)

Maybe it means something like "The revealing of the work, and the revealing of creation"

The Book of Thoth has a lot to say about the Tetragrammaton. I would recommend that book even if the Thoth Tarot isn't your preferred deck. Crowley (and the Golden Dawn before him) relates the Tetragrammaton to the four cardinal elements and the Demiurge among other things. He used the court cards to represent it.

Yod is representative of Fire. Interestingly, Yod's uppermost point, even though the Tetragrammaton is mostly below the Abyss, is said to reach up into Kether, additionally making it representative of Spirit in a way. The mother letter in the Hebrew Alphabet representing Fire is Shin, which does double-duty as the letter of Spirit. The first He represents Water, and Vau represents Air. These first three represent the three primal elements, all of which have assigned mother letters in the Hebrew Alphabet, and in my opinion, equivalents in the three realms of Norse cosmogonical myth. I think I remember reading somewhere, probably the Book of Thoth, that Crowley considered the Tetragrammaton to be an expansion of the IAO formula, at least in regards to the elements. Which brings us to the final He, which represents Earth. Frater Achad didn't consider Earth to be a true element. In a way, it could be said that Earth is like an inversion of Spirit. Interestingly, Earth isn't represented by a mother letter in the Hebrew Alphabet. Tau, the double letter representing Saturn, does double-duty as the letter of Earth. Saturn is the only one of the 7 planets of Classical Astrology to have a representative above the Abyss (Saturn is the planet of Binah). So it seems to me that the Tetragrammaton contains the same kind of balance as the Sephiroth Itself (Malkuth in Kether, Kether in Malkuth; final He in Yod, Yod in final He?)

Okay, I'll stop rambling now, lol.
