AGLA
One of the Cabalistic names of God, which is composed of the initials of the words of the following sentence: “Atah Gibor LeOlam Adonai,” meaning “Thou art mighty forever, O Lord.” This name the Cabalists arranged seven times in the center and at the intersecting points of two interlacing triangles, which figure they called the Shield of David, and used as a talisman, believing that it would cure wounds, extinguish fires, and perform other wonders (see Shield of David). The four Hebrew letters forming the initials of the above words were used on the floor cloths of Lodges in the eighteenth century.
