'''''[[Eyes of the Tarot]]''''' is a juvenile fiction novel written by American author Bruce Coville. The book is a mystical adventure made richer by accurate descriptions of [[tarot]] cards as well as techniques for utilizing the cards and Coville's suggested interpretations. In many ways, the heroine's experiences with the figures from the tarot mirror those found in Russian [[occultist]] P.D. Ouspensky's 1913 book ''The Symbolism of the Tarot''.

The name may be derived from a verb that means "to be," "to exist," "to cause to become," or "to come to pass." While there is no consensus about the structure and etymology of the name, the form Yahweh is now accepted almost universally, though the vocalization Jehovah continues to have wide usage.

YHVH Oedipus Aegyptiacus1.png

The Tetragrammaton is the four-letter Hebrew theonym יהוה‎ (transliterated as YHWH), the name of God in the Hebrew Bible. The four letters, written and read from right to left (in Hebrew), are yodh, he, waw, and he. The name may be derived from a verb that means "to be," "to exist," "to cause to become," or "to come to pass." While there is no consensus about the structure and etymology of the name, the form Yahweh is now accepted almost universally, though the vocalization Jehovah continues to have wide usage.

The books of the Torah and the rest of the Hebrew Bible except Esther, Ecclesiastes, and (with a possible instance of the short form יה‎ in verse 8:6) the Song of Songs contain this Hebrew name. Observant Jews and those who follow Talmudic Jewish traditions do not pronounce יהוה‎ nor do they read aloud proposed transcription forms such as Yahweh or Yehovah.
