Thank you Steve I very new at all this and I love the info. But it would be great to have a book that we all have to study with and then bring more infor. as we go along. If that's O.K. with everyone else. Have a great weekend everyone.
another version gives these three as word, number and idea, ie, each has three 'values' inherent: a number, a word, and a symbol... as does each Major Arcana of the Tarot!Sefer Yetzirah
1:1 With 32 wondrous paths of Wisdom [Hockmah] engrave Yah [ie, the first 2 letters of the tetragrammaton: YHVH], the Lord of Hosts, with three books/words [sepharim]: with text (Sepher), with number (Sephar), and with communication (Sippur)
Shall we begin with the ten Sephiroth from nothing (Ain-Sof)?1:2 Ten Sefirot of Nothingness [or out of nothingness] plus 22 letters: Three Mothers, Seven Doubles, and Twelve Elementals.
