With thirty-two wondrous paths of Wisdom engrave Yah, the Lord of Hosts, with three books, with text (Sepher), with number (Sephar), and with communication (Sippur).
isthmus nekoi said:- structures divided by three -> can we divide the tree of life into threes? I recall Rachel Pollack doing this with:
1) "super-consciousness" Kether-Chokma-Binah
2) "consciousness" Chesed-Geburah-Tipareth
3) "manifestation in physical world" Nedzach-Hod-Yesod-Malkuth [1]
I will just state this, give a quick argument for it, and not belabor it: YH or Yah seems to be the male half of the Name. Each half contains the male-female polarity, but there is a male half and a female half, rooted in yod and vav respectively, the two ends of the vowel spectrum: “ee” or “y” and “oo” or “w” have polar meanings as sounds—smiling versus pouting lips, for example—and old Semitic vav is a breast pouring forth milk, vav itself the word ‘and’ in Hebrew and standing thus for the conjoining (of sexes). Vav as 6, the six directions of space, is the space for the male in the female, whilst the two hehs or 5s symbolize the covenant between them—the five fingers of the hand of each given in matrimony to the other—just as heh added to Abram to make Abraham signified the Covenant (of circumcision). Yod, then, is the will that their hands be conjoined in matrimony on the part of the male, being 10 (two hands’ worth).Laurel said:In this translation, two names of God are presented. Yah is the Tetragrammaton YHVH or at the least the first two letters and of course extremely kabbalistically significant. Symbolically, YH is YinYang, the male+female/heaven+earth/alpha+omega.
