Spiritual Meaning of Letter X

The letter X corresponds to Samekh (S) in the Hebrew alphabet, which symbolizes a serpent (or dragon) swallowing its own tail. In occult teachings, this is the symbol of Ouroboros, indicating the cycle of life, death, and rebirth.

Hence, the letter X is like a serpent, shedding its own skin to prepare for its new life ahead. The skin here is the ego or the lower self that we need to get rid of to prepare for a spiritual life.

This explains why Jesus Christ was crucified upon a cross (X). When we “cross” something, it means we get rid of it. Therefore, the whole resurrection idea can be understood as getting rid of the old material self to be born again in a new spiritual self.

The Greek word for “X” is “Chi”, which is the first letter of Christos (Xριστosˊ). You can see that X-mas was an old, religiously-rooted abbreviation for Christmas, because it points to the sacrifice of Christ.

Hence, the letter X is associated with death and rebirth, signifying the end of a chapter in life and the commencement of a spiritual transformation. This is why “X” is the Roman numeral for 10 (which reduces to 1+0=1), symbolizing the completion of a cycle (10) and the start of a new one (1).

Spiritually, the letter X also represents the Law of Karma or the law of continual cycle that cannot be broken. From a basic understanding, “X” means we shall reap what we sow.

We cannot sow the seed of a banana and hope that it will grow into an apple tree. We cannot do bad deeds while expecting good things will come to us.

In mathematics, “x” is the variable for the unknown quantity. Spiritually, this points to the great mystery of the universe and the quest for knowledge that lies beyond the known.

In numerology, “X” corresponds to the number 6, which is the vibration of love. Opposite to love is lust, which is why we have XXX represents pornographic content.

According to Resurrect Isis, the letter X symbolizes the crook (heka) and flail (nekhakha) of Osiris. The crook identifies Osiris as the shepherd of sheep, while the flail is used as a tool for separating grains from husks. Symbolically, the sheep are our animal nature, and the field is our body.

When we guide the herds, it means that we control our lower nature. When we separate the grains from the husks, it means that we distinguish between good and evil.

Meaning of Letter X in Your Name

In numerology, if your name has an X, you’re a balanced, attractive, and lovable person. As X’s numerical value is 6, people with X in their names tend to be creative, peaceful, and helpful.

The letter X is equal on all 4 planes. Therefore, you’re someone who seeks harmony. You may also have a double personality due to this reason. As the vibration of 6 is home, you’re a family-oriented person who is very responsible.

6 means either love or lust. You need to choose a spiritual path, because a selfish path can stack up karmic debts that you have to pay off later on.
