The Tetractys By: Frater Mea Fides In Sapientia (Stephen Murtaugh) In the 1500s or so, Kabbalists converted the ancient symbol known as the #Tetractys into the Kabbala tree of life. The last statement was taken from around minute 49 of this video t.me/swastikaresearchgroup/4121

To Pythagoras, the Tetractys was a symbol of great importance and he said it was supposed to link heaven and Earth. As a portion of the secret religion, initiates were required to swear a secret oath by the Tetractys. They then served as novices for a period of silence lasting five years. A prayer of the Pythagoreans shows the importance of the Tetractys, as the prayer was addressed to it: "Bless
Pictured is a belt buckle with a #Tetractys above a Swastika. It was found in the Kazbek treasure in #Georgia in the 5-6th century BC, right around the time Pythagoras was alive and preaching about the symbol.
On the topic of the U.S. currency, it is also interesting that the #Hexagram above the eagle has a #Tetractys within it
Although it seems unlikely there is any relation, it is interesting to note that the Latvian sign for Dievs, the sky father, being an upward triangle, is reminiscent of the #Tetractys (a very important symbol) and also the funny pyramid + all seeing eye that appears on the currency of the U.S. #Latvia

Fascinating to see so many examples of a Tetractys in #India. These are from roughly 200 AD. I have heard some theories that Pythagoras travelled to India and was given the title Pytha Guru there. Pythagoras popularised the symbol, yet it was a much more ancient symbol but it is very mysterious. Even Pythagoras had a secret society centered about the #Tetractys.

#Tetractys on Circles One differs from the rest of the numbers: it is not a line - it is the center of all the circles. Each circle represents a natural number. The meeting of the radii with the circles forms two points. Odd numbers are formed on the angle bisector. You can continue this model to infinity and any number will find its place on it. In every number there are two points that define it
Pretty cool #Tetractys
Fractions from a Geometric Point of View Line is infinite. Point is final. Because it is final it limits the line, and cuts it into segments. From one point you can not create a segment. The first segment is limited by two points. The second by three points and so on. How beautiful is it to discover all this in the Pythagoreans #Tetractys.
