The Hebrew AlphabetThe Hebrew alphabet, detailed below, consists of twenty-two letters. All of these letters are consonants. Vowels are indicated by small dots and marks surrounding the individual letters. Four of the letters have a different form when they fall at the end of the word. Each letter has a meaning and a numeric value associated with it. The letters are considered to be the building blocks of creation (see Sepher Yetzirah for more information on this subject).
Traditional kabbalists take the view that the Hebrew language is divinely inspired and that this was the only language existing prior to the Biblical story of the destruction of the Tower of Babel. The Hebrew letters can be considered as expressions in a mathematical formula. Each letter has a meaning and the combination of letters used in a word can be seen as the embodiment of the component individual letter meanings. In many, if not all, magical and mystical systems the importance of knowing an entity's correct name is stressed. Knowledge of a name confers power over the entity concerned. Recommended Reading:
