From 1.0:

Does anyone understand what's written on the tapes? Look like letters from the Hebrew alphabet ...
Maybe: הלללאה hallelujah
What is essential is invisible to the eye.

Can handle Greek, Cyrillic, Arabic, basic Egyptian hieroglyphics, but somehow never could get to grips with Hebrew script lol

The left hand writing appears to be - He- Yod-(dot)-Lamed ל • י ה ‎
Right hand Lamed- Lamed-dot-then a Dalet or a Resh ל ל‎ • ר

The only bit I'd be confident of reading is the י ה as 'Yah' or short form of Yahweh/God as you said in Hallelujah and the three Lamedhs, though wacking up the contrast on my phone that He looks like a Chet

Given the extreme faintness of the S and the L in the SEELE logo it's also possible there are illegible parts of the Hebrew text

Other considerations might be that the letters where taken from some Kabbalistic source and have a numerical significance like the Gematria, or that they've transcribed some opf the letters wrong- or like the dots included part of the masorah, or ath the extreme end of things wrote a name from English to Hebrew but transcribed it from left to right instead of from right to left.

The set on the left, reading right to left, appears to be Lamed-Gimel-Resh-Nun, or perhaps Lamed-Gimel-Heh? It's really very hard to say. לִילִית is "Lilith" so the image on the right side is a reversed Lilith.

So if the image on the left is reversed it should be... Vav-Resh/Dalet-Aleph/Gimel(?)-Lamed. I think?
