Text: The 7th Hebrew letter, Zayin (Z), means radically a sword or any sort of weapon, but hieroglyphically it stands for an arrow. Being the 7th letter, many have been the sacred ideas associated with it, and frequently is it referred to as the sign of spiritualized or regenerated humanity. Persons familiar with the "Tarot" will find close connection between Zayin and the Chariot in which rides the Conqueror crowned with a diadem on which are placed 3 golden pentagrams, while above his head is an azure star-decked canopy. The equivalent Greek letter, Zeta, means something sought and obtained, showing a close relation in this, as in many other instances, between the Greek and Hebrew alpha-bets.
