Mythology Summary

Yahweh is the god of Israel, whose name is written as four consonants and read as lord, who makes a covenant with a people and gives them a law. The tradition keeps him without a pantheon, without an image, and without a consort, which is the whole of what makes him different.

Modern Practice

Yahweh is approached through covenant, law and prayer rather than through correspondence magic. The correspondences later traditions assigned - Saturday, Saturn, the ark and the temple - are given as reception rather than as the tradition's own.
