The essence of the letter

Repetition and return — the air one gives oneself, the social façade; the breath that animates, paternal polarity.

What the letter tells

The letter R repeats, reiterates, returns. It is the air one gives oneself — the social façade — as much as the breath that animates. In a name, it carries a paternal polarity and the question of beginning again.

The traditional roots

Resh, the head — mind, beliefs, starting again from nothing; appearance, the air one gives oneself.

The tarot allegory

Judgement — resurrection of one's work / fear of being judged on one's worth, self-effacement for others' success.

The mechanics of the rebus

When two letters touch within a name, they compose a rebus — a sound-image to be read with a light hand, never as a verdict.

R + ESlander behind one's back.
R + PSlander behind one's back.
R + ZA blade in the back, betrayal.
R + SIntimacy defiled.
R + BA smothering parental presence.
R + OA smothering parental presence.

A symbolic, non-predictive reading — never a diagnosis nor medical advice. The bodily dimension of each letter — its listening zone in the tradition — is only read within a full reading, upon your explicit consent.
