The Occult Symbolism of Yasin

The occult tradition of the West is filled with ritual references and influences based on the Old and New Testaments. The Quran has had similar influences on the ritual practices of many mystics and magicians. The reason for this is that the Quran lends itself well to mystical and occult interpretation. Much occult symbolism can be found through certain chapters (Suras) in the Quran. One of the most prominent is the Surah known as Ya-Syin. For hundreds of years, this chapter has been used extensively in rituals of planetary magick. The actual word Ya-Syin is composed of two letters, Ya (Yod) and Syin (Samech). These two letters form an occult code which many Islamic scholars have attempted to break. Many of them believe that these two letters represent Ya, “a method of announcement”, and Syin “a short version of Insan or Man”. Orthodox Islamic scholars have argued that Syin stands not for all men, but for the King of Men or the Prophet Mohammed himself. Occultists have argued against this myopic perception and postulated that it represents the Perfect Human (Primordial Man or Adam Kadmon). Read more
