Lahut Correspondences in the Greater Pentagram: Vav, Alpha, Air, Anahata, and Jupiter

Lahut is the second Divine Presence, the level at which the divine begins to disclose its qualities, where essence becomes perceivable through attribute without yet descending into dense manifestation. It is the realm of subtle emanation, luminous breath, and the first relational movement between the absolute and the worlds below. The Pentacle of Lahut maps this level through five correspondences that express Air as the principle of transmission, openness, expansion, and living connection.

At its elemental point the Pentacle of Lahut corresponds to Air, the element of breath, movement, communication, and invisible continuity. Air is the medium through which influence travels, the subtle field in which sound moves, thought spreads, and life circulates. It represents the first spaciousness of manifestation, the opening through which the hidden begins to reveal itself.

At its chakra point the pentacle corresponds to Anahata, the heart chakra, the center of balance, relationship, compassion, and the unstruck resonance of inner life. Anahata is the meeting place of upper and lower, spirit and embodiment, ascent and descent. Its placement at Lahut reflects the airy and connective quality of this Divine Presence, where the hidden source begins to become relationally present.

At its planetary point the pentacle corresponds to Jupiter, the planet of expansion, order, wisdom, benevolence, and elevated vision. Jupiter gives breadth, magnanimity, and lawful structure to what emerges from the unseen. Its placement at Lahut reflects the noble and spacious quality of Air at this level, where divine attribute unfolds not as confinement but as widening intelligence and living order.

At its Greek letter point the pentacle carries Alpha, α, the first letter of the Greek alphabet and the sign of beginning, emergence, and primal articulation. Alpha marks the first audible opening, the first issuing forth from silence into intelligible sequence. Its placement at Lahut reflects the airy principle of first expression, where the hidden begins to move outward into knowable form.

At its Hebrew point the pentacle carries Vav, ו, the letter of linkage, extension, and connection within the Pentagrammaton. Vav is the joining principle, the line that binds what is above to what is below and serves as the axis of continuity within the Divine Name. Its placement at Lahut is exact, since Air is the connective medium, the breath-like bond through which the subtle worlds remain in relation.

This pentacle forms part of Occultum Lapidem, a body of esoteric correspondence work conceived as a companion to the Da’ath Tarot, the first divinatory deck to express tarot wholly through symbol and correspondence.
