From Middle English *wath, from Old Norse vað (“a ford”). Cognate with Scots wath, Swedish vad. Related to wade.
Noun
wath (plural waths)
wathe (uncountable)
wathe (plural wathes)
Uath, Old Irish Úath, hÚath (IPA: [wəθ]), is the sixth letter of the Ogham alphabet, ᚆ, transcribed ⟨ʜ⟩ in manuscript tradition, but unattested in actual inscriptions. The kenning "a meet of hounds is huath" identifies the name as úath "horror, fear", although the Auraicept glosses "white-thorn":
condál cúan - "assembly of packs of hounds" in the Word Ogham of Morann mic Moín
bánad gnúise - "blanching of faces" in the Word Ogham of Mac ind Óc
ansam aidche - "most difficult at night"" in the Word Ogham of Culainn.[4]

Those born under the sign Uath are often able to charm those around them without effort. Talents are many for those born at this time of year, including a flair for the dramatic and a strong sense of self. Uath favors actors, artists, dancers and politicians. Skill at subtle negotiation and diplomacy are also common. The Hawthorn stands quietly in strength and knowledge. The Chalice of Celtic legend, the Grail cup, and Dagda’s inexhaustible cauldron, are all symbols of the gifts that flow to those who are worthy. Chalices and cauldrons represent the ancient caves and wells of Ireland, from which all good things flow freely to those who honour the land.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glastonbury_Thorn
The Glastonbury Thorn is a form of Common Hawthorn, Crataegus monogyna 'Biflora'[1] (sometimes incorrectly called Crataegus oxyacantha var. praecox), found in and around Glastonbury, Somerset, England. Unlike ordinary hawthorn trees, it flowers twice a year (hence the name "biflora"), the first time in winter and the second time in spring. The trees in the Glastonbury area have been propagated by grafting since ancient times.[1]
It is associated with legends about Joseph of Arimathea and the arrival of Christianity in Britain, and has appeared in written texts since the medieval period. A flowering sprig is sent to the British Monarch every Christmas. The original tree has been propagated several times, with one tree growing at Glastonbury Abbey and another in the churchyard of the Church of St John. The "original" Glastonbury Thorn was cut down and burned as a relic of superstition during the English Civil War, and one planted on Wearyall Hill in 1951 to replace it had its branches cut off in 2010.
Common Hawthorn is extensively planted as a hedge plant, especially for agricultural use. Its spines and close branching habit render it effectively stock and human proof with some basic maintenance. The traditional practice of hedge laying is most commonly practised with this species. It is a good fire wood which burns with a good heat and little smoke.[3]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crataegus_monogyna

"whereas letters of the tetragrammaton correlate with the other sephirot, no letter WHATsoever can represent or describe keter ['crown'], so only the THORN of the yod [qotz in hebrew] in the tetragramaton hints at keter"
-Gabriella Samuel in Kabbalah Handbook
"In the image of the tetragrammaton we see, once again, a strong contrast between the conscious, composite personality of the four primary elements, in contrast to a higher fifth essential power, indicated by the thorn of the yod."

A wat or vat is a monastery-temple in Thailand, Cambodia or Laos. (Thai: วัด wat Lao: ວັດ vad, Khmer: វត្ត wōat) is borrowed from Sanskrit: वाट vāṭa "enclosure".
Strictly speaking a wat is a Buddhist sacred precinct with a vihara (quarters for bhikkhus), a temple, an edifice housing a large image of Buddha and a structure for lessons. A site without a minimum of three resident bhikkhus cannot correctly be described as a wat although the term is frequently used more loosely, even for ruins of ancient temples. As a transitive or intransitive verb, wat means to measure, to take measurements; compare templum, from which temple derives, having the same root as template.
In everyday language in Thailand, a wat is any place of worship except a mosque (Thai สุเหร่า surao or มัสยิด masjid; a mosque may also be described as โบสถ์ของอิสลาม - bodkhong Isalam, literally "Islam church"). Thus a wat cheen is a Chinese temple (either Buddhist or Taoist), wat khaek is a Hindu temple and wat krit or wat farang is a Christian church, though Thai โบสถ์ (โบสถ์ bodkhong) may be used descriptively as with mosques.
In Cambodia, a wat is used to refer to all kinds of places of worship. Technically, wat generally refers to a Buddhist place of worship, but the technical term is វត្តពុទ្ធសាសនា vott poutthosaeasanea. A Christian church can be referred as វិហារយេស៊ូ vihear Yesaou or "Jesus vihear". Angkor Wat អង្គរវត្ត means "city of temples".

From the Upanishads: "The Self is the rider in the chariot of the body, drawn by the senses and horses and directed by the invisible reigns of the mind." A chariot is a portable fence. Note that the charioteer is standing on the chariot, but has his head in the stars. The number of this key, 7, is the number of Netzach on the Tree of Life, Victory. Note that the chariot is still. Victory is already assured and achieved. It is a state of consciousness.
