T Tetragrammaton The most important of all the Names of God used in Cabalistic magic is the Tetragrammaton, the Name of Four Letters. -- John Michael Greer, Circles of Power (1997) Mystique: "Truly ambitious sorcerers . . . sought the true name of God, the most powerful magic word imaginable. The search for God's true name took on epic proportions during the middle ages. The name was referred to as the Tetragrammaton, because it was believed to have four letters."12 Figure 40. This depiction of Tetragrammaton is based upon the work of occult scholar Éliphas Lévi in Transcendental Magic (1896). Lévi explains: "The Pentagram is the Star of the Epiphany. . . . This Star which the Magi saw in the East, this Star of the Absolute and the universal synthesis . . . opens to human aspirations the fifty gates of knowledge." 12 "Kabbalah," Rotten.com (2005)
