Tetraktys (τετρακτύς) is a Greek word meaning "tetrad". It refers to a triangular figure consisting of ten points arranged in four levels with one, two, three, and four points in each row. This was an important mystical symbol used by the Pythagoreans.
In Theosophy
In Kabbalah
There is an arrangement of the letters of the Tetragrammaton (the four lettered name of God in Hebrew scripture יהוה or YHWH), where they are inscribed on the ten positions of the tetraktys, from right to left.
