"The letters YHVH of the Tetragrammaton are used to imply the whole gamut of the four elements. Y as the creative function of the Archetypal Realm, is Fire the Chiah; the first H represents the Cup, the symbol of the passive character of the Creative World, and is Water the Neschamah; V is the Son, the active vice-regent of the Father, and is Air the Ruach; and the final H is the Nephesch; the passive receptive Earth, fructifying all things."
