Tetractys silver
Pythagorean and Kabalistic symbol for the cosmic space
The structure (formation) in the pendant is called Tetraktis . It is a symbol used by
the students of the mathematician Pythagoras
that said that the whole universe is built on mathematical principles.
This philosophy and this symbol appear in Judaism. The structure is
made up of a triangle that is made up of ten points in ascending order
from the apex. The structure represents the four elements of the
ancient world – earth, air, fire and
water .
The structure of the Ten Sephirot
of the Tetraktis is parallel to the Kabalistic
tree of life and represents the space
and the cosmic harmony .
The first point represents the divine dimension of the void from which
everything emanates.
The second line represents the first dimension - the line between two
points.
The third line represents the second dimension - the three points from
which a triangle is created.
The last line represents the tetrahedron, a three dimensional triangle
which can be created from the four points of the last line.
If we take the name of G-d from the Torah YHWH that represents time -
the fourth dimension (was, is and will be) and we will place it in the
Tetraktis, then by summing up the numerical value of the letters, we
receive the number 72, which means to say the 72 names of the Creator
from which everything was created.
The name appears on the pendant with one letter skipped forward. This
is because that according to Jewish tradition we do not use the sacred
name of god in a revealed manner.
