[Opinion] An observation of mine with names of certain dieties

[jkeller293]

I have noticed there being a common "ah" sound in diety names. Now this observation did not originally come to my mind on my own and this originally comes from a Satanist by the name of Druwydion Pendragon. He says:

"The name of Satan is actually intoned or broke down as two words: 'SA' and 'Tan'. In ancient intonation it is well known that raising of the vibratory 'AH' in the first part of Satan’s name actually was used to summon in ancient times"

I found this to be very interesting and i noticed this outside of Satanism with popular diety names like Yahweh, Shiva, Krishna, Brahma, Allah, etc.

Anyone reading this i would like to hear if you find this significant in your practices to vibrate this "ah" sound when evoking an entity containing that sound in it.

To me this makes sense what hes saying, but have no knowledge in this area of magick regarding vibrating a diety's name.

Well, the "ah" sound is the one you naturally make when in pain (aah!!), in happy times (ahh..) in agony and pretty much everything (at least I do). Just the tone is different.
I've started to think of it as the connector, in IAO for example, that links "that" with "this"

As far as I know, the "ah" sound is connected with the heart chakra in various Indian systems. In ancient Greece it was associated with the moon, I think (also see "The Mystery of the Seven Vowels In Theory and Practice" by Joscelyn Godwin).

I'm pretty sure the 'ah' sound is also the first sound children are able to make too. It's why the simplest words for mother in most languages use that sound.

This is most interesting. 'Ah' is a spiritual title, like Mr. is in patriarchal societies. It denotes that someone IS someone in the eyes of the deity. If we refer to the common religious modality in the West, Christianity, we can see it in the "Old Testament," for example in Genesis, when Abram becomes AbrAHam and is given dominion over the land of Canaan.

In reading through Genesis, you can also see that AH indicates dominion over something, as 'El-Shaddai' did not call Abram AbrAHam until he said he would give him the land of Canaan to rule over, along with all its inhabitants.

So not only it is a mark of elevated spiritual position, it is a mark of dominion over something.

Satan's name was not Satan until he was given dominion over the entire earth, mind you. Up until that point he was Lucifer, so here we have another example of the change of name denoting rulership. Doubly so because of the SatAHn you mentioned earlier, literally translating to 'Father (owner) of Lies.'

This can be seen throughout much of the Middle East, North Africa, and even into Rome and Greece.
