Symbolize the victory of the faithful soul on the forces of the evil, the victory of God on Satan, according to Thibaut Of Langres. Always according to him, it would symbolize those who since the beginning of the world were going to believe in Christ crucified, because in Greek, 300 is represented by the letter T which has the form of the cross.
The corresponding Hebraic letter is "shin". This letter represents the three knocks of mallet or the three tongues of flame of the Holy Spirit going down on the Apostles. This letter also corresponds to the 21th mystery of the Tarot which is the Madman because, according to R. Allendy, the activity of the creature, left to its own means, can be only blind, disordered, as a caricature of the activity of the Archetype.
