Most of the older texts dealing with the Archangels of the Zodiac (or other [[occult]] books explaining the 12 signs of the [[zodiac]]) attempt to assign a permutation of the Hebrew letters YHVH to each of the archangels and to the zodiac signs themselves. However, there are significant discrepancies between the various texts, and some texts have blatant errors in the Hebrew characters, making the question of which is correct difficult to answer with any authority. | Most of the older texts dealing with the Archangels of the Zodiac (or other [[occult]] books explaining the 12 signs of the [[zodiac]]) attempt to assign a permutation of the [[Tetragrammaton]], the Hebrew letters YHVH, to each of the archangels and to the zodiac signs themselves.

For example, in ''De Arte Cabbalistica'' (1517), the order given is: YHVH, YHHV, YVHH, HVHY, HVYH, HHYV, VHYH, ''VYHH'', ''VHHY'', HYHV, HYVH, HHVY. However, [[Judaism|Jewish]] scholars use the order: YHVH, YHHV, YVHH, HVHY, HVYH, HHVY, VHYH, ''VHHY'', ''VYHH'', HYHV, HYVH, HHYV. This is the same order utilized by [[magician]]s in the [[Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn]], but it varies from text to text, including significant deviations in Agrippa's ''Three Books of Occult Philosophy'' (which contains errors, aside from the differences). | For example, in ''De Arte Cabbalistica'' (1517), the order given is: YHVH, YHHV, YVHH, HVHY, HVYH, HHYV, VHYH, ''VYHH'', ''VHHY'', HYHV, HYVH, HHVY.
