I hope you all enjoy, sound is better but with worse lighting so sorry in advance.

Kickass! I've been waiting to see more from you... I'll tell you what I think of it in a few minutes...

Cool, Ashnook. I liked this one more than your first. I look forward to seeing more.

Also, if that's not the proper way to pronounce yeheshua, then what is?

Very good stuff Ashnook!
I'm just having trouble downloading the high-quality version. The low-quality downloads fine, but the high-quality only downloads as far as you explaining the sigil.

Try downloading again Zahagiel. Ashnook's bandwidth limit just exceeded 10GB I assigned him, automatically shutting down his whole site. I just doubled his bandwidth quota to 20GB this time and I hope this will accomodate.

"Yeheshua" isn't an actual name. I know it's common in Ceremonial circles, but for all intensive purposes, it's inaccurate. This stems from the false notion that Jesus' Hebrew name was derived by inserting the letter shin into the Tetragrammaton.

The actual name is Yehoshu'a, and is YHWShA (yod-hei-waw-shin-ayin). The final vowel sound, by the way, is a gutteral stop, for those who are able to pronounce them.

That said, the pronounciation of "Yeshu'a" was pretty good for someone who may or may not be able to enunciate certain Semetic phonemes. Don't feel so bad about that.

I am delighted that you were polite and refrained from engaging in too much coercion (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Thanks a bunch, DocHolliday. Very informative post. Very cool information, I learned a lot from it.

Blessings and peace,

i like the video of the spirit you provide. i would like to offer Buckner Media as an outlet for videos should you choose to make them.

Y-H-SH-V-H and Y-H-V-Sh-H are NOT an atempt to reduplicate the catholic based christ module. contrary to popular meshianic hebrew based fantasy these are in fct the golden dawn understandings of the hebrew letter SHIN inserted on the pentacle at appropriate points to represent the idea of the fire of spirit which unites the male and felmale of the spiritual to the father and mother microcosm, as in YHShVH and the tree of life after the restorationl as YHVShH.

on the traditional pentagram
yod in fire
Heh in water
shin in spirit
vav in air
heh final in earth

starting at yod this is read yeh hah shu ah counterclockwise and yehovasha clockwise (purifying and restoring.)

Blessings in LVX AEternum.

Without trying to sound condescending, and giving credit to the idea that the GD only approximated a likeness to Yehoshu'a through an accident of sound, I would like to know what you're using to pick up Hebrew. The sentence you provided made little to no sense, and I think some of your vowelizations might be off in the second part of your post.

1. GD only approximated a likeness to Yehoshu'a through an accident of sound

2. I think some of your vowelizations might be off in the second part of your post.

Yahalom Kether shel Metatron.

Blessings and peace,
May this note find you well and happy.

concerning your first point, it is not an accident. see the GD book.

concerning your second point, to which line are you refering? i am happy to translate for you. also, i read hebrew in hebrew and so i appologise if i don't transliterate it correctly. please teach me or refer me to a book if you have time.

It looks like I wasn't clear in my last post, and for that I apologize (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

By "accident of sound" I meant this: apparently, the GD was not trying to refer to either the Joshua of the Bible or the Jesus of Christianity by their Hebrew name (Yehoshua). You pointed out my error when you informed me that the GD was inserting shin into the Tetragrammaton in relation to the pentagram. The "accident of sound" then would just be the similarity of the two words/names. I suppose it would be analogous to anti and ante - they are extremely similar, but are two different words with two different meanings.

As for the Hebrew, I'll do this line by line. Hopefully, I won't sound like I'm beign nitpicky - I honetly didn't quite catch your meaning.

Shalom, lehet re oth?

I read this as "shalom, lehitra'ot," or "hello, until later?" Even though it could have just as easily been peace or goodbye, the question mark confused me.

shmi tov meoth!

I read this as "shemi tov me'od" (if that's correct, it's nice to know that some people understand how the soft daleth should be pronounced!), or "my name is very good."

ani holech le chether shel atha

I read this as "ani holekh le heter shel atah," or "I walk to your heter." The reason why I did not translate heter is because I'm completely ignorant of how you meant to use it. Coming from a religious backround, whenever I see "heter," my first thought is of an exemption or a release.

I'm well aware of the difficulty in transliterating Hebew (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) It certainly doesn't help that there are several means of doing so. Personally, I try to use the system found in more "official" documents: the media, Encyclopedia Judaica, Israeli Gov't, etc. The only real exceptions I make to that are using a Q instead of a K for qof and a W instead of a V for waw. And that's only because I've read Saadia Gaon's commentary on the alef-beth from the Sefer Yetzirah too many times (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Shalom winissahon,
Doc

Many blessings and thank you friend. you have a very clever mind and apparently much insight. i really like your posts, and appreciate the fact that you are very thorough.
i am very impressed by your knowledge of Hebrew language. as you can tell mine is not accurate perfectly when i write, and comes out very archaic or cliped. i do not find you to be nitpicky, i enjoy practicing and being corrected is a part of that. thank you.

the golden dawn. i do not know what they were talking about with the pentagramaton. i like the universalist module which they present but from other sections of the teaching it seems they do speak of the historical christ. this is the manner in which they understand this archetype, and with the understanding that -
1. more than one being can hold this title, and..
2. this module is a process of spiritual development.

Saadia Gaon is pretty intense reading. i see him as a 1000 year old modernist. he was a blend of tradition and discovery.

Bright blessings and peace profound!

I'm fond of the archaic sound. I try to keep it toned down in the rare event that I speak it, but for anything related to the occult or religion, I'm prone to lay it on rather thick. It really makes life interesting if I'm the one asked to read prayers at an Ashkenazi (Franco-German) synagogue, where the Hebrew accent is totally different. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol_2.gif)

Very informative. Thank you! I don't have many people to converse with about the practice of magick and reading sometimes is not the same as seeing it put into action, specially when you are a visual learner such as myself. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
