YHVH

Exodus 6:2,3 God spoke to Moses and said to him, "I am YHVH. I revealed Myself to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as God Almighty (El Shaddai), and did not allow them to know Me by My name YHVH." --The Living Torah: A New Translation Based on Traditional Jewish Sources by Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan


YHVH, commonly known as the Tetragrammaton - Greek for "four-letter word", is claimed to be the Hebrew name of God.


These hands are divided into twenty-eight sections, each containing a Hebrew letter. Twenty-eight, in Hebrew numbers, spells the word Koach = strength. At the bottom of the hand, the two letters on each hand combine to form YHWH, the name of God. Shefa Tal, Hanau, 1612.

THEBAN ALPHABET



"The Theban alphabet is a writing system with unknown origins. It was first published in Johannes Trithemius' Polygraphia (1518), in which it was attributed to Honorius of Thebes. Trithemius' student Agrippa (1486–1535) attributed it to Pietro d'Abano (1250–1316).[1] It is also known as the Honorian Alphabet or the Runes of Honorius after the legendary magus (Theban is not, however, a runic alphabet), or the Witches' Alphabet due to its use in modern Wicca and other forms of witchcraft as one of many substitution ciphers to hide magical writings such as the contents of a Book of Shadows from prying eyes. The Theban alphabet bears little resemblance to other alphabets, and has not been found in any previous publications prior to Trithemius'.
There is one-to-one correspondence between Theban and the letters in the old Latin alphabet. The modern characters J, U and W are not represented, and in modern usage these are transliterated using the Theban characters for I, V and V V. Theban letters only exist in a single case. This suggests an origin for Theban as a cipher calqued on Latin, along with the various alphabets described by Trithemius and Agrippa, based on either Latin or Hebrew." wikipedia

MALACHIM ALPHABET



"Malachim was an alphabet published by Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa in the 16th century. It is derived from Hebrew. Other alphabets with a similar origin are Celestial Alphabet and Transitus Fluvii.
"Malachim" is from Hebrew (מלאך, mal'ach), and means "angels" or "messengers"." wikipedia

deep inside



So wet, so bloody, bleed on my heart and make me brave and wound-like.



When I have bedded down my soul in there and dined, then close again.Who sharpens his spear and slits you slightly, he tastes you.



Most dear little side hole, I wish myself entirely inside.



Side shrine! Body and soul passes into thee.



O truly sweet Heart which at the sight of our love is induced to give us love in return.

bow, arrow




"My arrows never fail --- and yet one arrow

More certain of its aim than mine wakes fire

Behind the chambers of an indifferent heart."

***

the arrow of magic comes from the bow of desire & intention.

"Geminis may ask themselves, each about the other-- do any of those rooms hold a quality called "faithfulness" or "fidelity"? Yes. But the door to that particular room in the Gemini heart is tightly sealed, and it takes more than a passkey to open it. It takes trust. And it takes time. Two kinds of trust: the complete trust each must give to the other -- and the trust required to believe in yourself, that what you love is really want you need, and all you'll ever need. (That's what takes the time.) But time is free. They can both use as much of it as they like to find that answer within themselves.... and once it's been found and the door unlocked, Gemini will be loyal and true forever after."

enochian alphabet

"The Enochian alphabet first appeared during the 16th century. The Court Astrologer and Magician, Dr. John Dee (1527-1608) and his associate, Sir Edward Kelly (1555-1597) claimed that the alphabet and the Enochian language was transmitted to them by angels.

The alphabet is used in the practice of Enochian Magic on Enochian Calls or Keys, which are used to call angels."
