Meaning ''Of Four Letters'' (from The Greek Tetragrammaton relates to The Judaic Religious ideology of the ''True Name'' of God, or ''Yahweh''. This ''name in written form and pronounced properly, was considered a very powerful prayer and indeed weapon if used correctly. If used improperly, only death and destruction would befall those who did. It is thought that this idea was to keep Enemies of Judea from misusing their Religious Practices, and so Priests constructed such a curse. As such and with the development of The Mystical Form of Judaism Kabbalah, (6) other ''names'' are associated with God. These names are secret and are thus protected from utterance. Some feel that should an Evil Person learn and utter the names aloud, the very Universe and indeed Time itself will cease, or ''Anti-Creation''. This theme is a very popular sub-genre in many Horror and Fantasy Films.
