And I shall tell thee now of the twelve letters etched upon the hilt;
and these are the months of the year,
for these symbols are
the twelve mazzaroth (constellations)
etched upon the night skies.
And I shall tell thee now of the twelve symbols etched upon the hilt (the space between the handle and the blade); and these are the months, for these twelve symbols are etched upon the night skies: for behold, all things are given in cycles, and degree by degree doth all things ascend unto HaShem YHVH.
And these are the twelve signs, even Hei, Vav, Zayin, Chet, Tet, Yod, Lamed, Nun, Samech, Ayin, Tzaddi, Qof;
Hei is that path of purity of faith
Vav is that path of sanctification
Zayin is that path of wisdom
Chet is that path of divine fire
Tet is that path of revelation
Yod is that path of divine order
Lamed the path of divine judgement
Nun is that path of the covenant
Samech is that path of divine truth
Ayin is that path of eternal life
Tzaddi is that path of rebirth
Qof is that path of service
And these are written upon the night sky, for with these did YHVH Elohim divide up the twelve divisions of the heavens, to tell the months and the years, and to tell the stories and that the seers should see.
