Yahweh

YHWH

Francisco de Goya: The Name of God (YHWH), detail from the ceiling fresco of the Basílica del Pilar (1772)

Yahweh, Jehovah or also Yahweh-Elohim (Hebrew: יהוה YHWH is written as Tetragrammaton and - read from right to left - is composed of the 4 letters Yod (י), He (ה), Waw (ו), He (ה)) is one of the seven Elohim, who are the actual creators and guides of our Earth evolution, as reported in Genesis. YHWH is considered the unpronounceable name of God and is therefore always replaced by the address Adonai (Hebrew: אֲדֹנָי "My Lords", plural) in the reading of the Torah. In common usage, the name of God is usually rendered as HaShem (Hebrew: השם "the name").

Originally, Yahweh, like the other Elohim, had his residence on the Sun. After the separation of Sun and Earth and the further detachment of the Moon from the Earth, he took up residence on the Moon and from here sends his mature wisdom to the Earth with the reflected lunar light. Yahweh is therefore rightly also worshipped as a lunar deity.
