 | | The letter Aleph, is given to the 11th Path and the Fool, and the 11th Path is termed the "Scintillating or Fiery Intelligence" as it "perfectly reflects the first outflow of the spiritual influence of Kether." It is therefore the spark of life radiating from the Source and permeating all things, animate or inanimate. |
 | | The Hebrew letter is Nun, whose name signifies "a fish." The Fish is that Power which lives at the heart of the waters, familiar with the pulse of these vital currents, which keeps watch over the lost treasures of the deep. |
 | | The numeration 4 belongs to Daleth, the fourth letter of the alphabet, and the meaning of Daleth is "a door." Hence to Tau, 400, is ascribed "the ultimate door." The image of the Tau Cross is called by Qabalists "Light in Extension" for it is boundless to the East, West, North and South. |
