Spiritual Meaning of Letter S

The letter S looks like a coiled serpent, and that’s not an accident. In ancient languages, the “s” sound was associated with the hiss of the serpent. In Greek, the name “sigma” (Σ) was shaped by its connection to the word σίζω (earlier sigj-), meaning “to hiss.”

The serpent sheds its skin, so the letter S symbolizes renewal and rebirth. In Hindu philosophy, the serpent Kundalini represents the spiritual energy coiled at the base of the spine.

The letter S is associated with the 21^st letter Schin (or Shin) in the Hebrew alphabet, which is the letter of fire and transformation. In Kabbalistic teachings, Schin literally means tooth.

According to Shirley Blackwell Lawrence, the author of The Big Book of Numerology, the tooth symbolizes the process of chewing, grinding, and breaking down food for assimilation, while fire provides the necessary heat for creation.

Thus, both of them refer to the process of transforming the raw material into the essence that is usable. In other words, “S” points to the process of the gross material substance changing into the spiritual form when one advances to a higher spiritual realm.

The glyph of Schin depicts the 3 branches of flames. It represents Christ’s principles in his teaching:

“I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.” (John 14:6)

According to Max Freedom Long’s What Jesus Taught in Secret, when Jesus says: “I am” or “I give you,” the correct translation is: “My teachings are”.

Hence, Jesus didn’t say “through me” that you could go to heaven, but “through my teachings” that you could go to heaven. If you believe in Jesus while doing bad things, you would not go to heaven, because you haven’t followed his teachings/requirements he has set forth.

Unlike angular letters, “S” curves twice — once forward, once back — forming a perfect balance of opposites. The upper curve represents the spirit world, while the lower curve symbolizes the material world. Thus, “S” suggests the spiritual law: “as above, so below“.

According to Resurrect Isis, the letter S is spiritually connected to the two sacred serpents of Isis, who is a “twice-wise” goddess. These two serpents represent the duality of nature.

This can explain why when we add “s” after a noun in English, it becomes “two or more”. This represents the “double-wisdom” of Isis.

Meaning of Letter S in Your Name

In numerology, if the first letter of your first name starts with S, you possess a Strong and Self-driven character. As the numerical value of S is 19, S people are the alpha and the omega – the one who starts (1) and finishes (9).

S stands for “self”. Therefore, anything connected to the “self” belongs to your nature: self-confidence, self-reliance, self-assertion, etc. S also symbolizes success. You’re likely to be a great achiever who loves to use your talents to help the world.

Yet, you work best when you’re alone. Because S represents Serpent and Serpent is Wisdom, you rely on your own wisdom and intuition to guide yourself rather than follow other people’s commands. You can be spiritually endowed with the gift of vision, as you’re sensitive to inner spiritual teachings.
