Tetramorph

Looking more into this tetramorph figure. Found an occult dictionary with a good entry about it, which starts:

    “The four-beasted figure surrounding the Wheel of Fortune (Man, Bull, Lion and Eagle), standing for the four Hebrew letters of the Tetragrammaton (IHVH) and mimicked by Xtianity in its attributions of these animals to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The tetramorph symbolizes the quaternity running through everything in both the manifest and unmanifest worlds.”
  • Another version of the same thing, but with a more organized chart showing the symbolic equivalents of the 4 elements.
  • An illuminated manuscript of Ezekiel’s vision of the tetramorph.
  • Something on Christian animal symbolism.
  • The passage from Revelation describing it.
