Wow, I haven't seen those symbols for a long time o.o

:)

The devil?
The pentagon building?
Space Invaders?
Everything looks like triangles, but is 5 circles, joining to make a 6th.

Very Keen on the 5 making a 6. ;)

From the top, clockwise: Copper Acetate (?), Earth, Fire, Water, Air each surrounded by the same symbols in the same order, rotated clockwise once per movement clockwise around the circle

Each of these is inside of a pentacle, which is traditionally a symbolic representation of "earth" though I'm not sure that's its meaning here.

I don't read Hebrew, so I don't know the meaning of the symbols in the center... And I'm not really sure I recognize the significance of any of it.

No, I see now the mistake I made on that first one... But I can't find that symbol anywhere. Copper acetate is a six-segmented circle, not an 8-segmented one. Hm.

Also: Pentagrammaton (yeah reading tags) meaning five-letter divine name.

But this one is a tetragrammaton? Because I only see four characters. Maybe I just don't know enough. Darn you for getting me interested! X3

The Pentagrammaton, even though I haven't added the name, is still implied because each letter in the name יהשוה is attributed to one of the 5 elements.

forgot to add Tetragrammaton to the tags ^_^;;

The 8 spoked wheel is a elemental symbol of spirit.

I had forgot about the suit of pentacles representing earth, Nice catch there. :)

Eek! The complexity of it all!

^___^ Still working on your E-mail btw, sorry it's slow

As long as I know you got it, I'm happy. I was gonna start passive-aggressively harassing you on Twitter.

Looks inspired by the Golden Dawn. Am I right?

The Pentagrammaton is definitely a big part of the Golden Dawn.

but if your asking where I got the inspiration for it. I was working on making a pentacle. :)

Looks awesome regardless.

Thanks :)

Very well thought-out sigil, including its own inversion, and open to variation. you gotta be pretty tuned-in to envision this stuff. I feel no need to decipher it; I absorb it intuitively.

Have you even gotten into the art of Paul Laffoley? If not, I advise you check it out. It's right up your alley.

OH yes! I love that guy! I can never find any larger sized versions of his art though. :(
It's always loved looking at his stuff. :3

and yeah absorbing intuitively is a great way to go. :)

I am not quite certain how this relates to YHVH. I realise a pentagram in many occult arts represents the five elements of nature - Fire, Water, Earth, Metal, and Wood. The pentagram is found in Witchcraft, most forms of magick, in Tai Chi Chuan, QiGong/Chi Kung, as well as many occult practices that involve manipulation of spiritual energies to carry out your will on reality...

Is this perhaps used in ancient Hebrew rituals I may not know of?

I have YHVH displayed in this because of the Hebrew gematria. With Hebrew Greek and Latin each number letter has a numerical corespondent. So say if you knew what the number in a word added up to. you could check you spelling if you need by making sure it added up correctly. As for the esoteric tradition It's believed that words that shared the same numerical value have a significance to each other. Thats a very short way to explain it. I don't do the best job at it.

Anyway. Y = 10 H = 5 V = 6 with another H = 5. YHVH ends up being 26.

Now in the western esoteric tradition YHVH end up being the 4 world and the 4 elemental powers. I.e. Fire, water, air, earth. Which I've given the symbols in. But for the pentagram there's the 5th point. The point of spirit. That point of spirit ends up being represented by the let Shin or Sh. Making YHShVH (Yahshuah) I.e. the pentagrammaton. Yahshuah ends up being the Hebrew name for Jesus.

Anyway, thats an extremely short background on it. but if you count the pentagrams in the image. There are 25 smaller ones and one larger one. Making 26 the gematria of YHVH. what I'm trying to show is that God (the big upside down one) end up reflecting him self in to facets, the microcosmic or man. Which I try to show as the smaller pentagrams each with their own set of elements. IN attempt to bridge and show that connection between God and man.

I'm sorry if I may have lost you. It's not so easy to explain. plus it a little later for me. ^_^; But if your confused on something I can try to explain it better.

Maybe you might be able to explain Newton's Alchemical Circle as well. This is very similar and the first thing I thought of when I saw it.
I also like to keep in mind when dealing with circles that there is no up or down viewing of the circle, just inner/center and outer. Though your symbols for the place-markers must be understandable when viewed.

I had no idea such a thing existed! wow. Is this what your talking about? http://www.flavinscorner.com/nbk3.jpg
That's pretty cool, a great idea using the heptagram. ^__^

I know only little of alchemy yet. so it will take some studying still.

Thanks for sharing this with me friend!

Yeah, that's the one. If I remember right the symbols are astrological. Keep in mind a that alchemy has always been a little cryptic, each thing seems to have at least two meanings.

I do know that each planetary symbol has a metal correspondent.

* The Sun rules Gold
* The Moon, Silver
* Mercury, Quicksilver/Mercury
* Venus, Copper
* Mars, Iron
* Jupiter, Tin
* Saturn, Lead

but I haven't looked to far in to what they mean. it's still new to me. :)

No, thank you for the explanation. I'm still doing research on this myself because obviously the church seems fairly ignorant on all of these topics. The English Bible completely omits the Hebrew names of God...it's sad, really. They Europeanised the entire religion to make it into some sort of sick business and mind control.

I'm aware of the number-letter system. Numerology, right? Each name has a meaning.. each consonant and vowel has a number. People have found that some of the Pope's names have added up to 666, the fabled number Saint John the Divine stated was the calculation of the name of the physical incarnation Satan will take in the end times.

I have nothing against the Pope or against Catholics but I think their regulations are far too strict and have little to do with God at all... for example, how can it be a sin to have sex with your own wife in other positions? Why is missionary the only authorised position? It makes no sense.. people caught having sex in doggy or any other style were literally executed..now that's just plain stupid!

Depending on how it's translated. sometimes you'll be able to know which name they use. for example if they say 'Lord' they're talking about Adonai (ADNI).

Gematria comes before Numerology. Where they ad something called Theosophical reduction to a English gematria.

It's true, it's quite sad when religion becomes a "Thou shalt or shalt not." rather than a spirituality.

Wait... Yeeah

e_e those traingles.... aren't they the four elements ▼:water ▲:Fire ▼:Air ▲: EAarth...
The circle.... I don't know what that one is....

Spirit. :)

You find that each letter of the Tetragrammaton will represent an element.

Y or Yod = Fire

H or Heh = Water

V or Vau = Air

Second H or Heh = Earth

I think, that is just wonderful =3 As a person, who worked for a long time on stoats and marten's Kabbalah (yes!) I can say that is just wonderful =3 I could not do something like that =3

Sure you can, if you keep up with the Great Work!
