<strong>777</strong> REVISED<br />
and still water by its final form. In this single case, <strong>the</strong> actual<br />
meaning <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> word is identical with <strong>the</strong> Yetziratic<br />
attribution <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> letter. Note that <strong>the</strong> letter NUN, meaning<br />
fish, is not attributed to Pisces but to Scorpio.<br />
NUN a Fish, is that which lives and moves in <strong>the</strong> water: which is<br />
here a symbol <strong>of</strong> death. It <strong>the</strong>refore indicates <strong>the</strong> forces <strong>of</strong><br />
Scorpio, generation through putrefaction. The final form<br />
suggests a tadpole.<br />
SAMECH a Prop, refers to <strong>the</strong> fact that <strong>the</strong> path connects Tiphereth with<br />
Yesod and <strong>the</strong>refore serves to connect Microprosopus with<br />
his foundation. The shape may suggest a pillow, or a stone,<br />
to be thrust under some object.<br />
A'AIN an Eye, refers to <strong>the</strong> meatus. This explains <strong>the</strong> application <strong>of</strong><br />
Capricornus to <strong>the</strong> 15th ATU. The shape may suggest <strong>the</strong><br />
two eyes and <strong>the</strong> nose.<br />
PÉ a Mouth, is explained by <strong>the</strong> shape <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> letter. The Yod<br />
represents <strong>the</strong> tongue.<br />
TZADDI a Fish Hook, is also an obvious matter <strong>of</strong> shape.<br />
QOPH <strong>the</strong> Back <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Head. The shape is fairly suggestive.<br />
RESH a Head reversed. The seat <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> human consciousness,<br />
which is Solar, pertaining to Tiphereth, is in <strong>the</strong> head. Resh is<br />
<strong>the</strong> Solar letter. In shape it is merely a big Yod, implying <strong>the</strong><br />
brain as <strong>the</strong> expansion <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Spermatozoon.<br />
SHIN a Tooth, plainly exhibits <strong>the</strong> three fangs <strong>of</strong> a molar. It is also<br />
a glyph <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> triple tongue <strong>of</strong> flame, <strong>the</strong> letter being referred<br />
to <strong>the</strong> element <strong>of</strong> Fire. The suggestion <strong>of</strong> devouring, eating,<br />
or eating into, is also given. The idea <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> ternary shown by<br />
<strong>the</strong> three Yods is borne out by <strong>the</strong> value <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> letter, 300.<br />
Yet <strong>the</strong> letter being one letter, <strong>the</strong> doctrine <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Trinity is<br />
implied. Hence its secondary attribution to <strong>the</strong> element <strong>of</strong><br />
Spirit. It is also a glyph <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> God SHU, whose head and<br />
arms, separating SEB and NUIT, form <strong>the</strong> letter. This connects<br />
it with <strong>the</strong> fire <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Last Judgement (ATU XX). I may here<br />
note that SHU is <strong>the</strong> God <strong>of</strong> air and not <strong>of</strong> fire, <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
firmament that separates Earth and Heaven; so that <strong>the</strong> idea <strong>of</strong>
