An ancient prayer—an invocation—has existed and functioned silently within the Greek alphabet since its very inception. The hidden prayer of the Greek Alphabet.
The sequence of the letters in their full pronunciation (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, etc.) is by no means accidental. Beneath it lies a complete grammatical, syntactic and semantic continuity, conceived at a far higher level of thought.
According to this familiar pronunciation, the Greek letters (once we also include the now-lost sixth letter, Stigma or Digamma F) are spoken and written as follows:
ALPHA – BETA – GAMMA – DELTA – EPSILON – STIGMA – ZETA – ETA – THETA – IOTA – KAPPA – LAMBDA – MI – NI – XI – OMICRON – PI – RHO – SIGMA – TAU – UPSILON – PHI – CHI – PSI – OMEGA.
By decoding this well-known sequence—constructed according to the principles of Hermetic Science—we arrive at the following:
“AL FA, VI TA GA, (A)MA DE (E)L TA EPS ILON.
ST(H)I IGMA.
ZI TA, I TA, THI TA IOTA
KA PALAN DA.
MI NYX I,
O MIKRON,
PYROS IGMA TAFI (E)PS ILON,
FY PSYCHI,
O MEGA!”
Then, once the implied connectors and verbs that have been omitted are restored, a remarkable cosmogonic prayer—an invocation to the source of Light—emerges:
“AL FA, VI TA GA!
AMA DE EL TA EPS ILON.
STI IGMA (INA) ZI TA,
I TA, THI TA IOTA
KATA PALLAN DA.
(INA) MI NYX I,
O MIKRON (ESTI),
PYROS (DE) IGMA
TAFI EPS ILON,
FY(OI) PSYCHI,
O MEGA (ESTI).”
This invocation has been inscribed for centuries within the subconscious of the Greeks.
Below is the meaning of the words of this prayer:
- Al = the intelligible Sun
- Pha-os = light
- Vi = imperative of the verb baino (to walk, to come)
- Ta = dative article in Doric form (“to”, “into”)
- Ga = Earth (Doric form)
- Ama = simultaneously
- El = the visible Sun, the Coming One
- Eps = from the verb epsomai; eps-imenos = baked
- Ilon = ilus (noun): mud, clay
- Sti = imperative of the verb istimi
- Igma = sediment, distillate
- Zi = imperative of the verb zo (to live)
- I = imperative of eimi (to be)
- Thi = imperative of tithimi (to place)
- Iota = the “I’s”, the selves (cf. English I)
- Pallan = from pallo (to vibrate, rotate); adjective pallas = vibrating, rotating (cf. Pallas Athena)
- Da = another form of Ga, Earth (cf. Da-meter → Demeter = Mother Earth)
- Nyx = night
- O = relative pronoun (“which”)
- Fy(oi) = optative of fyo (to grow, to develop)
Interpretation:
Al, you who are the Light, come to Earth!
And you, El, cast your rays upon the clay that is being fired
(that is in a state of boiling transformation).
Let a sediment form (a solid ground),
so that the selves may live, exist,
and stand upon the vibrating Earth.
Let not the night prevail—which is the lesser—
lest the sediment of fire be buried (extinguished, lost)
within the seething clay,
and let the Soul grow, which is the greatest,
the most important of all.
The recitation of this invocation in its archaic form exerts a powerful vibrational effect upon receptive People of Light, wherever they may stand upon this planet.
Above all, because it is a mystical striking of the sacred seed of the Greek soul itself.
