Cabalistic traditions make a useful distinction between the aspect of Metatron assigned to Kether and that assigned to Malkuth - a distinction involving a different spelling of the Archangel’s name. Metatron in Malkuth is held to be the transformed Enoch, taken bodily into heaven according to biblical myth, and to function as a celestial scribe recording all the acts of humanity - his name was spelled MThThRVN. Metatron in Kether, by contrast, is seen as a transcendent power, the ‘Lesser Tetragrammaton’ created before the birth of the universe and his name was spelled with an additional Yod - MIThThRVN. In either form, Metatron may be visualised as an angelic figure of pure light.Thursday, 24 September 2009
Metatron
The first of the Archangels of Malkuth is Metatron, which is also the name of the archangel of Kether. His name has no meaning in Hebrew (It is a Hebrew form of Mithras - the name of a Roman saviour-god of Persian origins). Metatron is known as The Prince Of The Countenances - and represents a secret link connecting the highest and lowest of the Sephiroth.
