The choicest of our letters is one half (i.e. Mor) of the name (i.e. Muire Mor) given to Mary, God’s mother, owing to her great duty; this half of the Virgin’s name is, owing to its proclaiming of glory, formed from the Virgin’s name (i.e. Muire) spelt with O.

Shekhina: Talmudic term for the created splendor of light which acts as an intermediary between God and man, and which sometimes takes on human form. One of many female incarnations of Divinity referred to in Hebrew literature; believed to physically be present with the people as they wandered in the desert for 40 years. When the Temple was destroyed, the Shekhina had to flee and divinity was split apart. Yahweh is composed of 4 letters: Yod, which stands for Father, Heh, which stands for Mother, Vav, which stands for Son, and Heh, which stands for Daughter. The Shekhina is associated with the Heh letter. According to Saadiah Gaon, the Shekhina is identical with kvod he-Shem (’the glory of God’), which served as an intermediary between God and man during the prophetic experience.
