יהאה (Yehah) is a divine name formed by a specific permutation of the letters of the Tetragrammaton (יהוה). Its gematria is 20, and its pronunciation is traditionally rendered as Yehah or Yihah. The name represents a particular 'revolution' or dynamic ordering of the divine letters, each permutation unlocking a distinct aspect of the creative and redemptive process.

Position on the Tree of Life

יהאה is assigned to the sixth Sephirah, Tiphereth (Beauty), which sits at the center of the Tree of Life. Tiphereth is the sphere of the sun, harmony, and the reconciled self. As a name of power operating at this level, יהאה governs the balanced and radiant expression of divine will, serving as a focal point for the integration of the higher and lower Sephiroth.

Astrological and planetary correspondence

In the system of Liber 777, the name יהאה at Tiphereth corresponds to the solar current. Its astrological attribution is the Sun, specifically in its aspect of central, life-giving light. The planetary correspondence is the Sun (Sol), reflecting Tiphereth's role as the heart of the microcosm and the macrocosm.

Historical context

The tradition of permuting the Tetragrammaton to produce angelic or divine names is a key feature of Merkabah mysticism and later practical Kabbalah. These 'revolutions' (תמורות) are methods of generating divine names for specific purposes, often for theurgic or meditative ascent. The specific sequence of permutations to which יהאה belongs is detailed in Kabbalistic texts such as the Sefer Yetzirah and commentaries on the Shi'ur Qomah. In the Western esoteric tradition, these names were systematized by the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, which assigned each of the twelve permutations to a different Sephirah and zodiacal sign. יהאה, as the sixth permutation, is linked to the sixth Sephirah and the sign of Virgo, reflecting the solar-discriminative nature of Tiphereth in its aspect of service and analysis.

In the table of Liber 777, יהאה appears as the 'Revolutions of היהא in Briah' at the step of Tiphereth. This indicates that the name is a specific permutation of the root name היהא (Heh-Yod-Heh-Aleph), and that its active, creative force is expressed in the world of Briah (the world of creation). As such, it is a name to be used in ritual and meditation for harmonizing the creative will with the divine order, bringing the light of Tiphereth into manifest form.
