What means Adonai / Adonim / Adon?
Adonai is a powerful Hebrew word, used as a proxy for YHVH, which is the real and true name for God, not spoken out aloud. The pronunciation of Adonai is considered to have great power and is used only once a year during the rites of Yom Kippur. This tetragrammaton is also central to the doctrines of both the Jewish and Esoteric Kabbalistic traditions, where it is equivalent to the four kabbalistic worlds of creation, the four elements, the four archangels, and the four cardinal directions. Christian kabbalists added the letter "Shin", rendering "YHShH," or Yeheshua, Jesus, as proof of the divine origin of Christ.
The four weapons of "Ritual magick" symbolize the essence of the letters of the tetragrammaton; these also form the basis for the four suits in Tarot cards.
Adonai (Hebrew) means "Lord", the plural from Adonai is Adonim. We, as the lower vehicle of the human body, by using the divine geometries of mind, allow our mind to unite with the Overself through the two Lords of the Throne, represented by the Light Pillars of Melchizedek and Michael which prepare us for face-to-face Work with the 144.000 Lords of the Christ. Visualize pillars of ascending Light which manifest the Lordship in the material worlds. "Adonai, whether I ascend or descend let your personal Presence be with me and surround me so that my unique divinity may be awakened and I may ascribe my life in greatness to our Creator."

Adonai (Hebrew meaning "lord, ruler") is a name bestowed upon God in the Old Testament. It is retained in the Vulgate and its dependent versions, Exod., vi, 3; Judith, xvi, 16. No other name applied to God is more definite and more easily understood than this. Etymologically it is the plural of Adon, with the suffix of the possessive pronoun, first person, singular number. This plural has been subjected to various explanations. It may be looked upon as a plurale abstractum, and as such it would indicate the fullness of divine sway and point to God as the Lord of lords. Others prefer to designate this form as plurale excellenti, magnitudinis, or plurale majestatis. To look upon it as a form of politeness such as the German Sie for du, or French volts for to is certainly not warranted by Hebrew usage. The possessive pronoun has no more significance in this word than it has in Rabbi (my master), Monsieur, or Madonna. Adonai is also the perpetual substitute for the ineffable Name Yahve, to which it lends its vowel signs. Whenever therefore, the word Yahve occurs in the text, the Jew will read Adonai.

Adon is one of three titles (Adon, Adonai, and Adonim), all generally rendered "Lord"; but each has its own peculiar usage and association. They all denote headship in various aspects. They have to do with God as "over-lord." Adon is the Lord as Ruler in the earth. Adonai is the Lord in Her/His relation to the earth; and as carrying outHer/ His purposes of blessing in the earth. Adonim is the plural of Adon, never used of man. Adonim carries with it all that Adon does, but in a greater and higher degree; and more especially as owner and proprietor. An Adon may rule others who do not belong to her/him. Adonim is the Lord Who rules Her/His own. The Lord names in brief mentioned are then: Adon is the Lord as overlord or ruler, Adonim is the Lord as owner, Adonai is the Lord as blesser. In brief also: God = Elohim; God = Jehovah; GOD = El; God = Eloah; Lord = Jehovah; THE LORD = Jah; Lord = Adonai; LORD = Adonim; Almighty = Shaddai; Most High = Elyon. Then you have the combinations: Adonai Jehovah = Lord God; Jehovah Elohim = Lord God; Elyon El = Most High GOD; El Shaddai = GOD Almighty.
