Zayin: The
seventh letter of the Hebrew alphabet, Z. Represents the number 7. The third of the twelve "single letters." A Hebrew word meaning "sword."
Corresponds to Gemini, the 17th Path (between Binah and Tiphareth), and Tarot trump VI The Lovers.
Zenner Cards: Also known as "ESP cards," this is a deck of 25 card using a repeating set of five simple geometric shapes (circle, square, wavy lines) used to test for ESP.
Zero-Point Energy: In traditional Newtonian physics, when something becomes so cold that it reaches absolute zero (-273 degrees Celsius), all motion, including all molecular, atomic, and subatomic motion ceases. However, according to quantum physics, particles at absolute zero-the zero point-still show energetic behavior. This means that enormous masses of particles in the cold depths of virtually endless space produce huge amounts of activity: zero-point energy.
The possibilities and potentials for zero-point energy are just beginning to be considered, and theories imply that we may be able to use it to do such things as control inertia and gravity, making the "warp engines" of science fiction a reality.
Most experiments in this field are privately funded, meaning they receive almost no money. The experiments testing various zero-point energy theories may prove this energy to be nothing more than a chimera. A century from now, scientists may look back at the concept of zero-point energy and laugh at it as foolish dreaming or marvel at it as the key that finally opens the universe.
Zodiac: The Zodiac is a circle of space surrounding the Earth. It may be imagined as a belt in the heavens about 15 degrees wide in which the planets travel. It is the Sun's apparent path, called the ecliptic. The zodiacal circle is divided into twelve parts, each part containing 30 degrees of space called the Signs of the Zodiac. Thus a sign is a one-twelfth division of the zodiacal circle and is defined as containing 30 degrees of celestial longitude: 12 signs each measuring 30 degrees constitute the circle of the zodiac or 360 degrees. In this circle the planets travel each in its own orbit, one outlying beyond the other. The zodiac, then, is a circle divided into twelve signs through which the planets travel or transit from west to east, going through one sign after another in their order from Aries to Pisces. Although the zodiac is generally referred to as a circle it is, in fact, elliptical.
Each sign possesses a certain specific influence of its own.
The motion of the Earth around the Sun once a year causes the Sun to appear to pass through one of the 12 signs each month. Its influence, according to location, determines not alone the seasons but the general nature and character of persons born at that time.
The signs in order are Aries the Ram, Taurus the Bull, Gemini the Twins, Cancer the Crab, Leo the Lion, Virgo the Virgin, Libra the Scales, Scorpio the Scorpion, Sagittarius the Archer, Capricorn the Goat, Aquarius the Water-Bearer, and Pisces the Fishes.
Zodiac: The zodiac is divided into twelve signs, each comprising 30 degrees. The signs of the zodiac do not correspond to the constellations of the same names, although the mythologies of the signs and the constellations are related.

Zohar: Arguably the most famous of all Cabalistic books, the Zohar is a mystical commentary on the Jewish holy scriptures. Although attributed to Simeon bar (or ben) Yochai (or Jochai) of the 2nd century C.E., it was first published (and many say written) by Moses de Leon in the 13th century.
Zooform Phenomena: Entities that seem to be animals, but have paranormal qualities or exhibit paranormal behaviors.
