Pé or Phé, the 17th letter of the Hebrew alphabet, and the 16th of the
English alphabet, is the fifth of the double letters having both a hard and
a soft sound: Pé as in pen and Phé as in phenomena. Its double traits are
power and servitude, and its letter name, Pé, means mouth.
The “power” is the power of expression in either writing or speaking,
or both. The mouth is the organ of speech that can be used to express
thoughts in a negative or positive way, for evil or for good. Our words can
be beautifully constructive and equally destructive.
The thoughts we entertain are food for the mind, just as the food we
eat with the mouth is that which sustains the body. We have the power to
choose our thoughts as well as the food we eat, and when we choose
wisely we gain in health and wisdom.
If we eat something we don’t like, we can spit it out since our mouth
can accept or reject. It is the same with our thoughts. We have the power
to control our thinking, to choose constructive thoughts.
Physiologically, Pé is the pituitary gland, which endows us with intu-
ition, thought transference, and an “inner knowing” when it is awakened
in us. So if we direct our thoughts toward achieving a goal we can meet
with success, which is an aspect of power. Misuse of energies will surely
lead us to the opposite trait: servitude.
Pé was adopted by the Greeks, who renamed it Pi and reversed the
glyph. The Romans enclosed the top circle and called the letter P, and it
became the 16th letter of the English alphabet.
Geometrically, P is a circle on a line, the head on the self, so it is an
intellectual vibration, has mental curiosity, and is good at concentration.
But it also indicates a bent toward being opinionated and stubborn. P can
be either very spiritual or agnostic or atheistic with a closed mind.
A great deal of power is felt and expressed by persons with many P’s
in their name, so it is important for P-predominant people to balance
their interests with studies in philosophy, to use their power for good
rather than for selfish gains. This is also true for those whose first letter is
P, because the first initial is the cornerstone of the name, and that corner-
stone tells our natural approach and reaction to life’s experiences.
