svnhson Valued Member United States 102 Posts	Posted 02/09/2018 5:33 pm Afternoon all! I acquired a strange token recently and was wondering if anyone could help me identify it? The text on one side looks Hebrew and I have no clue what the symbols on the other side are. Diameter is 15 mm. Obverse Reverse Thanks for any help you can provide! Report this Post to the Staff

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 02/09/2018 6:48 pm Occult mumbo jumbo. The Hebrew is the Tetragrammaton, YHVH, said to be the "true" name of God according to the old testament. The other symbols look like Alchemy gibberish, so I doubt this is a Jewish religious token.

nautilator Valued Member United States 332 Posts	Posted 02/09/2018 10:35 pm The symbols are from astrology, so it's probably just memento to that effect. The middle one is for cancer, flanked by the sun. The one on the right is... descending node? For reference, you can see the signs here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrological_symbols Update: Quote: It appears to be Kabbalah related It looks like this is true. I'm seeing some sources that connect YHVH and the kabbalah tree of life to astrology. Edited by nautilator 02/09/2018 10:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff
cdngmt Valued Member Canada 402 Posts	Posted 02/09/2018 11:24 pm Just a minor correction the hebrew letters are an abreviation for the name of god....the name itself is supposed to have/confer power Report this Post to the Staff
