Meaning of Letter T

Letter T corresponds to 2 letters in the Hebrew alphabet: Teth, representing “serpent” or “roof”, and Tau, signifying “the cross”. It may seem that 2 symbols are not related to each other. However, in many cultures, especially in Christianity, the serpent and the cross usually go with each other.

Spiritually, Christians have been taught that the serpent represents Satan (Evil) while the cross symbolizes Jesus (Good). However, in esoteric teachings, what letter T really means is the Kundalini serpents rising from the base of our spine reaching the “roof” of our head, which is the pineal gland.

This spiritual experience is depicted in the Caduceus of Hermes. If you look closely, the Caduceus really resembles the shape of letter T.

The wing of the Caduceus represents “the power over” or “balance” between 2 dual nature within our body: Masculine and Feminine, Good and Evil, Christ and Satan. When we balance our nature, we may be able to raise these 2 cosmic energy upward, activating each of the chakras.

The unactivated chakras are called “the dead”. Therefore, when you “awaken the dead”, you “awaken the chakras”, which is the symbolic story of Moses raising the serpents in the desert.

When you see a cube, it is also an emblem of the cross. A cube being unfolded is a cross. Thus, letter T represents the unfolding spiritual nature (the cross) that rises above physical limitation (the cube).

As Teth is the last letter of the Hebrew alphabet, the spiritual meaning of letter T represents perfection, completion, and returning to the original oneness of Aleph. The Tetractys of Pythagoras starts with T because symbolizes the perfection of God’s creation.

According to Egyptian teachings, letter T represents the 2 front teeth of Osiris. They believe that when Osiris spoke, he Talked with Truth, which became Teachings. Thus, letter T is the symbol of Truth spoken by Osiris.

On the Day of Judgement, our heart will be weighed against the feather of Maat, who is the Goddess of Truth, on the Scale of Justice. When we look closely at the scale, its shape resembles letter T.

In Egyptian mythology, if Osiris finds our heart in balance with the weight of the feather of truth, we will be accepted to live in the heaven forever. However, if our hearts are heavier due to the burden of sins, then we will be devoured by a crocodile-like animal.

According to Resurrect Isis, Letter T also represents the tooth of the cobra, which are its 2 fangs. Cobra is the symbol of wisdom in Egyptian mysticism. The name of Thoth is composed of “Th + th” which means “Tooth + Tooth”. Thoth, or thoughts, is the word “tooth” being said backward.
