    Thanks for the explanation Rawn, IHVH sounds fascinating - Though I
    find the correspondencies at the end of your post somehwat confusing
    (i.e. I was under the impression that the astral realm related to the
    water element - as you mentioned in the Archaeous, and 'Heh'
    representing two different things could take a little getting used to)
    Regards,
    M
