The Hebrew Alphabet

The Hebrew letters have special importance in the Jewish and Christian traditions. To learn more about the meanings and symbols represented in the Hebrew letters, we offer a free online course comprised of free audio lecture downloads and transcriptions of the lectures, along with illustrations and diagrams.

The script of the First Root Race was written with the Runes. The mallet of Masonry comes from the arrow of the Egyptian God Ra, and this is a Rune. In that epoch, the rituals of the Polar Temple were all runic. The movements of the officials were runic. This is the divine script. Let us remember that the Swastika is a Rune. The Hebrew letters are but modifications of runic letters. - Samael Aun Weor, The Perfect Matrimony
The Angel Metraton, or Enoch, delivered the Tarot in which the entirety of divine wisdom is enclosed. The Tarot remains written in stone. He also left us the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet... - Samael Aun Weor, The Initiatic Path in the Arcana of Tarot and Kabbalah
