A Feminine Equation Of The Tetragrammaton

כ"ג באב תשס"ז

Today's Hebrew letter tarot reading was performed during the planetary hour of Pluto (Da'at) with the waning crescent moon 27% [1] full.

The 3 letters in order:

gimel-the missing letter-reish ג""ר

This letter configuration is definitely related to all my "time messages". Specifically, it is related to the post on the sacred shekel. There is an order of 3 overt "steps" (madreigot) and 1 hidden step (madreiga) in BaMidbar 3:47:

You shall take five shekels each according to the head count; in the sacred shekel you shall take--the shekel is twenty gerahs.

.וְלָקַחְתָּ, חֲמֵשֶׁת חֲמֵשֶׁת שְׁקָלִים--לַגֻּלְגֹּלֶת: בְּשֶׁקֶל הַקֹּדֶשׁ תִּקָּח, עֶשְׂרִים גֵּרָה הַשָּׁקֶל

5 shekels
the sacred shekel
20 gerahs

This is what I am thinking.

The digit sum of ג""ר is 5, the gematria of the final letter hei (ה) of gerah. The hei of gerah connects the third madreiga (the final hei of the tetragrammaton through the hei of gerah) with the first madreiga (the first hei of the tetragrammaton through the number of "5" shekels), suggesting a feminine equation of the tetragrammaton. The value of 20 pertains to the sefirah Keter-Malchut of the Crown. The "missing letter" is brought down from Ein Sof through Keter, and into being via the descent of Malchut.

The feminine equation of the tetragrammaton which brings it down is האה, which is some combined proto-form of the Divine names Akvah and Ehevi, with a missing letter in place of the letters ויוה (and be! do!) which extend Akvah/Ehevi into reality. The missing letter may be some sort of heyuli through which Akvah/Ehevi extend.

Footnote:

[1] Twenty-seven is the im hakolel of the tetragrammaton. As the light of the moon wanes, the power of Malchut increases. In other words, the waning moon, as an im hakolel of the tetragrammaton, is focusing Divine energy of the Essential Name into Malchut.

The Heyuli Within Herbs & Other Magical Aids

כ"ט בניסן תשס"ז

Phyllis Curott (Witchcrafting) writes:

While an herb, potion, oil, or crystal has inherent power, it does not contain the magic you are seeking. It contains the potential for the magic. In other words, it's not the magical or quantum energy of the herb called damiana that will make your love spell work. The herb itself has no power to affect the outcome of your love life until you interact with it. It is your intent, your desire, and most of all, your appreciation and respect for the assistance given you by the herb or other aid, your reverence for it as an embodiment of diety, and your actions that activate its power.

From this, we can understand that the potential magic within herbs or other magical aids is not like the potential for fire which exists in a coal. Rather, the potential for magic within the witch's aids is more like the potential for fire which exists in a flint. The witch must activate and draw out the magic through her own intent, desire and action. The magic is not drawn out by the mere act of burning incense, for example. The magical potential in magical aids is a heyuli potential - and this heyuli is drawn out and extends into reality in response to the witch's interaction with the magical aid.
