The names of the Deity in religious literature can vary significantly depending upon the
tradition and culture involved. In the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Islam, and Christianity) we
invariably discover that the most complex naming convention occurs in Judaism. The complexity
stems from the fact that in Judaism it is considered a profanity to pronounce the holy ineffable
name of God, and therefore a number of substitute names are used whenever reciting scripture or
otherwise invoking the deity; this is especially ironic since this prohibition may have resulted in
the original pronunciation of the ineffable name (the Tetragrammaton) - which in Hebrew
Characters is spelled as Yod (י), Heh (ה), Vav (ו), Heh (ה) - becoming lost, and leaving the name
virtually impossible to correctly enunciate. The story of how this this loss might have occurred is
itself an interesting topic; traditionally (but probably incorrectly) it is believed that by religious
tradition the ineffable name was uttered ten times^1 only once each year on the day of atonement
by the High Priest while within the Holy of Holies. Since the name is devoid of vowel markings
the pronunciation became lost over time as High Priests perished. There is however evidence^2
based upon Mishna tradition which indicates that the ineffable name was in common and
unrestricted use up until the time of the Talmud when to pronounce it became a heresy; some
believe that the 40-fold Name was that actually pronounced and not the Tetragrammaton. Modern
rabbinical scholars usually point out that there is no specific prohibition in the Torah concerning
the use of the ineffable name per se, but there is a prohibition found in Deuteronomy 12:3 against
erasing or destroying the written ineffable name; any printed form of the ineffable name may not
be simply discarded, but should instead be buried in a Jewish cemetery^3 or “genizah”.
Substitute Names
The substitute names are based upon the Torah and correspond to a system in which a
different name is used depending upon its inferred use in scripture^4. More common names include
“Elohim”, “Shekhina”, “El Shaddai” (Shaddai is the name found on the mezuzah scroll) or even
"Ha-Shem" (lit. “The Name”), There are many others names as well as variations of names. Table
1 below lists a few of the lesser used names; this is provided simply to emphasize the broad range
of substitute names in use^5. Many Christians reading this table may find it interesting that many of
the Names have connotations which are normally applied to Christ.
Table 1- Examples of Judaic Substitute Names for the Deity Substitute Name Translation Ehyeh asher Ehyeh "I Am That I Am" El Elyon "Most High God” ElOlam "Everlasting God" El Hai "Living God" El Ro’i "God of Seeing" Boreh "the Creator" Avinu Malkeinu "Our Father, our King" Abir "Strong One" Elohei Avraham, Elohei Yitzchak ve Elohei,Ya`aqov "God of Abraham, God of Isaac, God of Jacob" El ha-Gibbor "God the Strong one" Emet "Truth" E’in Sof "Endless, Infinite", Kabbalistic name of God Ro’eh Yisrael "Shepherd of Israel"

along with the powers attributed to each.

Our own discussion will focus upon the 216 letter^9 Name which is subdivided into 72 three-
letter names, each triad being the name of an Angel of God. This “divided name” of God is called
the Shemhamphorash^10.
The Shemhamphorash
All Worlds, or dimensions were created through permutations of the holy names. The root
of all of these names is the Tetragrammaton ( y h w h ). It has 4 letters and 12 permutations (3 for
each letter). Thus, from 4 letters, we obtain 12 unique Names^11 (Table 3):

h y h w
h y w h
h h y w
Each of the 12 Names has 6 additional permutations, yielding a total of 72 unique
Names^12.
These are the 72 triads that emerge from the three consecutive verses in the Book of
Exodus Chapter 14, verses 19, 20, and 21 which are reproduced here both in English and
Hebrew.
"19: And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them;
and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them"
"20: And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud
and darkness, but it gave light by night: so that the one came not near the other all the night."
"21: And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go by a
strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry and the waters were divided."
The 72 Angelic names are taken from triads of the Hebrew Characters in these verses which
are formed by rearranging the characters in a specific manner referred to as Boustrophedon^13.
Boustrophedon is an ancient method of encryption which appears in very early Egyptian, Minoan,
and Hittite hieroglyphs.
To create the first triad, you combine the first letter of the first verse (14:19) which is vav
( w ), the last letter of the second verse (14:20), which is heh ( h ); and the first letter of the third verse
(14:21) which is vav ( w ). This produces the first name:
w h w
Figure 1- The 216 Letter Name of God formed of the Names of the 72 Shemhamphorash Angels
The number 72 is considered to be explicitly associated with the Shemhamphorash Angels
in Kabbalistic literature. The Tetractys, attributed to the Greek philosopher Pythagoras is unique
in that by arranging the four letters of the Tetragrammaton rendered in Hebrew characters, ( y h w
h ), in the form of the Pythagorean Tetractys, and applying basic Gematria (Kabbalistic
numerology) the 72 powers of the Great Name of God are manifested. (See Figure 2).
Figure 2 - The Tetractys of Pythagoras
I will suggest that a very prominent “blind” exists in our Entered Apprentice ritual when
we inform the Candidate that the Greek Philosopher Pythagoras, upon his discovery of the
triangular relationship later associated with Euclid’s 47th^ Problem, shouted “Eureka” and scarified
a Hecatomb of Oxen. First of all, it was Aristotle who was credited with exclaiming “Eureka”, and
secondly Pythagoras was both a vegetarian and had taken a vow of poverty. It’s unlikely that he
owned a Hecatomb of oxen, so readily available to sacrifice. The men who framed our Ritual were
highly educated in the liberal arts, and certainly would have been aware of this fact. I believe that
our Ritual (as it often does) makes this purposeful misstatement in order to alert the astute
Candidate that there is something significant about Pythagoras which he might discover if he looks
hard enough.

The Zodiac and the Angels of the Shemhamphorash
Each of the 72 Angels of the Shemhamphorash influences a 5o^ arc of the Zodiac (a Quinance); each Sign of the Zodiac (each Sign covers a 30o^ arc of the heavens) is therefore influenced by a total of six Shemhamphorash Angels which are permanently fixed to that Sign. The Shemhamphoresh Angels operate in pairs (the pairs consist of one Angel of the hours of light, and one Angel of the hours of night (based upon the planetary hour system), so that together they exert influence on each 10o^ (a Decan) of a given Sign (^14) (see Figure 3).
