The Ana BeKoach

The power of the hidden 42-LETTER name of God

Known as the 42 letters name, the ancient and mysterious Ana Becoach/BeKoach prayer (pronounced ANA BE' KO-AA-KH) was written in the 1st century by Rabbi Nehonia Ben Hakana. It is composed of seven lines with six words in each line. When the first letter of each word is taken and composed together, the result is the sacred 42 letters name.
 
The search for the ultimate formula or equation that governs the universe, or actually sustains the Cosmos itself, was sought after for generations by mathematicians and physicists. According to the Kabbala, there is such a formula and it was hidden in both the sacred 72 names and the 42 names.

Many people are not aware of the fact that the Hebrew names of God are not names at all, but definitions. The reason that most of us are not aware of these facts is the wrong translations or actually the misunderstanding of the Hebrew meaning of these names. In the west people always tend to write the four-letter Hebrew name of G-d known as the Tetragrammaton or "HASHEM HAMEFORASH". It is the Explicit name, in Hebrew,  as YHWE and pronounces it mistakenly as "Yahwe". I even heard archeologists in the west pronounce it that way and even try to connect its roots to an Egyptian deity by the name of Yahu.

However the name is actually pronounced as "YEHOVAH" and it is composed of the Hebrew words "Haya" - was, "Hove'e" - is, and "Yihiye" - will be. Past, present and future. It is a definition of sustained existence. As a matter of fact, the other biblical Hebrew name for God, ELOHIM is actually composed of three words - El, Ela, Elim - god, goddess and gods, and it comes to emphasize that everything in existence is an expression of ONE force, One thing.
 
That is why the 42 names were known as one of those secret formulas and it is actually based on the first two sentences in the first chapter of Genesis. The use of this name is mentioned in the Talmud, but its meaning and the way to use it as a key to the secrets of the eternal was lost after the destruction of the temple by the Romans. The Ana Be'koach prayer was used over the decades as an amulet for remedy protection and healing.

David's Ana Bekoach related dream

I've made these amulets years ago after an interesting experience. One of the most unpleasant and frightening experiences one can have is a phenomenon known as sleep paralysis, which is a phenomenon in which a person, either falling asleep or awakening, temporarily experiences an inability to move, speak or react.

"One night I happened to experience this unpleasant experience. I woke up in the middle of the night and felt this dark presence in my room. As I tried to look I came to realize that I was completely paralyzed. I wasn't able to move or to speak. I was horrified by this experience. Then out of the blue, I suddenly visualized the 42 letters name. I focused my attention on the letters, and as I reached the third line I woke up completely and was free. When I woke up the next morning I've decided to create these amulets."

It actually surprised me, but the use of this prayer in a form of a talisman ceased to exist in the middle of the 19th century, so it happened that I was the first one bring this tradition back to life.  Though many people started to copy these designs and use to accompany it only with the beliefs in its healing and protective characteristics, I've made these amulets in the hope that maybe someday someone will be able to decipher the original meaning or formula of the 42 letters name...
