I. The heart of WD3, Nephesh, is Peh, and this
path (see Appendix 13) carries the power of
Netzach into Hod. From Geburah, the Sphere of
Madim, the Holy Mezla descends into Tiphareth
through the path of action, the sharp goad of
Lamed. Yet the path of Lamed of the quality of
Nogah, because Nogah is the sphere of Venus
and Lamed is Libra ruled by Venus.
From Tiphareth the Holy Mezla descends into
the Sphere of Nogah (Netzach) through the path
of Nun (Scorpio, change). Thus from the Sphere
of Madim (Geburah) the channel begins with
Nogah or Netzach (Lamed, Libra ruled by Venus
and is the Sphere of Netzach), then takes on the
form of Madim or Geburah (Nun or Scorpio
ruled by Mars) to enter the Sphere of Nogah
(Venus). Note also that the first path from Nogah
is Peh, a path of Madim. And the mediator
between Geburah and Netzach, Mars and Venus
or Will and Desire is Tiphareth, the Sun.
On the Tree the paths of Daleth (Venus) and Peh
(Mars) are of like nature (both are horizontal
paths), though opposite in appearance. Peh is the
heart of Nephesh, and Peh is also one with $10'
Yesod, The Foundation, for the number of D and
Yesod is 80. Peh, D and 5 are one, because 3 is
2 with ', as you see by looking at the characters.
Kaph with Yod gives 30, the number of Lamed a
goad, and the goad is the power of Madim. In
Yesod 1110' is concealed 70, Sod Yod, the
secret of Yod. Yod itself is Kaph, and the Sod
Yod is a mystery of the hidden paternal power of
Chokmah. See C. 10.
11. Rabbi Munk says: "The Peh consists of a
Kaph with a Yod suspended inside it; the Kaph
stands for practical action, while the Yod
represents wisdom. Thus, the letter Peh
represents a spiritual quality (wisdom) contained
within the proper vessel for its practical
realization ... It also denotes productivity and
accomplishment, which results through mental or
physical efforts, unlike Yod, which stands for
"hand" indicating power and possession." [The
Wisdom of the Hebrew Alphabet]
Ill. Rabbi Kardia says: "Why is the letter Cheth
assigned to "the function of speech," and Peh to
"the mouth as the organ of speech?" Words that
originate in the mouth can never protect, and
only exhibit the negative side of Mars,
aggression. Words that originate from the Divine
used the mouth to excite grace. [Simple Stories

IV. "This character as consonant, belongs to the
labial sound, and possesses two distinct
articulations: by the first P, it is joined to the
character 3 or B, of which it is a reinforcement;
by the second PH, it is joined to the character 7
become consonant and pronounced V or F. As
symbolic image it represents the mouth of man,
whose most beautiful attributed it depicts, that of
uttering his thoughts. As grammatical sign, it is
that of speech, and of that which is related
thereunto. The Hebrew does not employ it as
article; but everything proves that many of the
Egyptians used it in this way and thus
confounded it with its analogue 3, by a peculiar
affectation of the pronunciation. Perhaps also a
certain dialect admitted it at the head of words as
emphatic article in place of the relation 39; this
appears all the more probable, since in Hebrew, a
fairly large quantity of words exist where it
remains such ..." [d'olivet, 1976, pp. 422-423.1
