In Renaissance occultistic works, this Pentagrammaton (or five-letter divine

name) was frequently arranged around a mystic pentagram, where each of the five
Hebrew letters ‫ י ה ש ו ה‬was placed at one of the points (the letter shin ‫ ש‬was
always placed at the upward-pointing vertex of the pentagram).[2] One of the
earliest attested examples of this diagram is in the Calendarium Naturale Magicum
Perpetuum or "Magical Calendar" (published 1620 but dated 1582)[3] of either
Theodor de Bry (Flemish-born German, 1528–1598) or Matthäus Merian the Elder
(Swiss, 1593–1650).[4] This idea of the Pentagrammaton was funneled into modern
occultism by 19th-century French writer Eliphas Levi and the influential late 19th-
century Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. The Golden Dawn favored the
consonantal transcription IHShVH or YHShVH, and the pronunciation Yeheshuah.

However, in all early Hebrew or Aramaic sources, the name "Jesus"/"Jeshua"


actually appears as yod-shin-waw-`ayin ‫ ישוע‬Yeshua (or as the related longer form
of the same name, yod-he-waw-shin-`ayin ‫" יהושע‬Joshua"; or as the intentionally
altered derogatory Talmudic variant yod-shin-waw ‫ ישו‬Yeshu), so that the
Renaissance speculations were incorrect. Note that the letter `ayin ‫ ע‬was
specifically pronounced as a voiced pharyngeal consonant sound in ancient
Hebrew and Aramaic, and could not be easily confused with either a pronounced
[h] sound or a silent Hebrew letter he ‫ה‬.
