Spiritual Meaning of Letter G

The letter G traces back to the Phoenician letter “Gimel” (𐤂), which means “camel.” In the desert culture, the camel is the creature that carries precious goods through barren lands.

Hence, the letter G spiritually symbolizes the soul carrying divine gifts through the deserts of matter — the one that endures, perseveres, and brings spiritual wealth to the earth. The letter G is curved inward, so you have to look within to find your spiritual richness.

In the Hebrew alphabet, both the letter G and C correspond to “Gimel”. When the Romans adopted the letter “Gimel” (G), they invented a new symbol, C, to separate the “K” sound from that of G.

In numerology, the numerical values of G and C are 7 and 3, respectively. Hence, the letter G connects to the Triad, which reconciles the opposite forces of the Monad and Duad. In spiritual teachings, if there’s perfect harmony, the Holy Trinity (C) can manifest itself in a sevenfold shape (G).

Letter G and Freemasonry

In Freemasonry, the letter G symbolizes God, or the Grand Architect of the Universe (G.A.O.T.U). G also stands for Geometry, Gnosis, or Genesis, which is the foundational secret of any Masonic Lodge. This is because Masons understand that numerology is a sacred science upon which the universe is based.

Everything can be measured by numbers, a principle embodied in the symbols of the compass and the square. They’re both tools used for measurement and assessment.

The object of measurement is the Universal Man whose head is Aries and whose feet are Pisces. He is the one hidden from within himself.

We use the compass to make a circle, and the square to make a square. When we draw a square within a circle, we get the 4 cardinal points of the zodiac, which make up your horoscope. Thus, the secret of Freemasonry really lies in its esoteric, astrological, and numerological symbols.

Moreover, the square is used to make a right angle of 90 degrees. When someone treats you “squarely”, it means that he treats you with justice and fairness. For this reason, the square is a symbolic tool used to evaluate the righteousness, morality, and virtues of our actions.

The compass is used to make boundaries around our desires and passions. Therefore, it represents the ability to exercise self-restraint on our lower nature.

According to Masonic teachings, G is the symbol for the spiritual Sun shining upon the Earth. It is the “letter of light”, the “emblem of God”, and the “Divine Presence”.

The letter G symbolizes the Word of God that manifests from the Unseen to the Seen. Therefore, the spirit of Masonry is to seek to be in the presence of God, and they put the letter G in their logo to remind them of this presence.

Masons also believe that most manifestations can be reduced to the shapes of squares, circles, and triangles. The letter G in Greek (Gamma – Γ) symbolizes a square; letter O, a circle; letter D (Delta – Δ), a triangle. Together, we have G.O.D is a combination of the square, circle, and triangle.

In numerology, the numerical values of these 3 letters are 3, 6, and 4 respectively, with G (Gimel) equaling 3 (not 7). Adding them together, we have:

  • 3 + 6 + 4 = 13.
  • 13 x 28 (days of a lunar month) = 364

This is the origin of our 52 weeks because 364 ÷ 7 = 52, with 7 being the days of a week.

Meaning of Letter G in Your Name

In numerology, if the first letter of your first name starts with G, you’re a Good person, who can be spiritually Gifted in talents. As the G shape looks like the letter C, it has some characteristics of C but contains some unique traits of itself.

G people often like to be alone, because G’s numerical value is 7. They don’t like to have someone looking at them while they do their work. Mysticism, occultism, spirituality, or esotericism can be your special interests.

You strive for spiritual perfection and want to find answers for all secret teachings in the world. You’re wise, moral, and strong-willed in character. Peace is necessary for you as you need time to rest, learn, and contemplate.
