Text: The 8th Hebrew letter, (H), means a field, or, in somewhat wider significance, any definite place surrounded by a hedge or fence. Owing to its close alliance with hah, meaning a hook, some commentators have attached that meaning also to it; it has also been connected etymologically with the Arabic word khah which signifies something that has descended or been poured down. From these distinct but nearly related meanings this letter has been spoken of as indicating in some manner the power of mind over matter, or of the higher over the lower planes of human intellect. Poetical writers who delight in drawing out the utmost meaning possible from Hebrew letters have taken advantage of the idea of the octave note in connection with this 8th letter in the sacred alphabet and have associated Heth with the New Jerusalem and with The Garden of Hesperides wherein are gathered together the number- less souls of the righteous who have passed through Libra, the 7th zodiacal sign, and have thereby attained to the eminence of an equilibrated estate in consciousness.
