Book Description

March 8, 2004

The true structure of the most sacred name of God is the great arcanum of occultism—never before explicitly revealed but only hinted at in obscure religious and alchemical emblems. It is now laid bare in The Power of the Word.

Renowned occultist Donald Tyson clearly shows how IHVH, the four Hebrew letters in the lost name of God, hold the key that unlocks the meaning behind astrological symbolism, the Tarot, the kabbalah, the mysteries of the Old Testament and the Book of Revelation, divinatory systems such as the I Ching and medieval geomancy, the Enochian magic of John Dee, and modern ritual magic. The holiest name of God is nothing less than the archetypal blueprint of creation, the basis for such fundamental forms as the DNA double helix and the binary language of modern computers.

This groundbreaking work is the most complete magical reference guide to the secret code of creation ever presented.

About the Author

Donald Tyson is a Canadian from Halifax, Nova Scotia.  Early in life he was drawn to science by an intense fascination with astronomy, building a telescope by hand when he was eight.  He began university seeking a science degree, but became disillusioned with the aridity and futility of a mechanistic view of the universe and shifted his major to English.  After graduating with honors he has pursued a writing career.

Now he devotes his life to the attainment of a complete gnosis of the art of magic in theory and practice.  His purpose is to formulate an accessible system of personal training composed of East and West, past and present, that will help the individual discover the reason for one's existence and a way to fulfill it.

4.0 out of 5 stars The mystery of the word, December 7, 2009
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Power of the Word: The Secret Code of Creation (Paperback)
I recommend this book. I consider it an introduction to a most sacred and powerfull name; an introduction because the name itself has so much significance it is impossible to dedicate a single volume to explain it's infinite potential.

The first few chapters detail the history, general meaning and correspondences of the lost name of God. Later on it shows some very interesting relations between the name and various hebrew ceremonies, symbols and magickal objects. The divination system based on Urim and Thummim is very practical yet, in my experience, it requires the user to be quite intuitive and to be familiar with hebrew symbolism.

Tyson goes on detailing rituals to asume a god-form, work with angelic beings and create a set of magickal rings. He also points out some greater meaning between the name and Dr. Dee's angelic magick. The correspondences and procedures are quite clear, but I wouldn't recommend the rituals to any other than an advanced practitioner because, if followed in a careless manner, the work may give either no results or cause negative effects.

I only give this book 4 stars instead of 5 because the author frequently talks about his own personal philosophy on magick, which is fine, but it jumps out all of a sudden from an objective study to a subjective view. Also, it seems to me that it starts out as a very basic introduction and ends up being a very advanced piece of reading.

If you are still unsure about buying it, consider what I think is the most important feature of the book: it serves as firm ground to expand the much ignored and neglected study of the holy word of creation.

1.0 out of 5 stars a new title for an old book, February 11, 2010

I've got little to say but this - "Tetragrammaton" by Donald tyson is a great book - and this is the same book under a new title, so if you have the one, don't get the other like I did.

Caveat emptor

PS - I already did post a review, but being new to this, I don't know if I flubbed it or not, since I don't see it on the product page. If there is no two reviews, please accept my appologies.
