The sephiroth (or 10 sephira) all have an aspect of God within them. It is the the one God, but look at it this way... you may be known by different people by different names whether that be your christened name, nickname, and so on. But you are still the one person, who may be known differently by different names and may behave differently to different people due to the positions you might hold by different names but at the end of the day you are you and you are one person.
Each sephira has a God aspect and an archangel, it also has a virtue and a vice (except Kether and Chokmah which have only virtues) which gives the sephira characteristics which you then use for decisions to whether you wish to conduct magic rituals in that sephira to get the result desired.
So I will list the below in the following manner....
Sephira> God aspect> Archangel> Virtue> Vice
Yesod> Shaddai El Chai> Gabriel> Independence> Idleness
Malkuth> Adonai Ha Aretz> Sandalphon> Discrimination> Inertia
The virtue and vice described above are just the classic way they have been noted, it takes study to see how they apply to you and indeed the world you are in.
I like this, thanks for posting someting which simplifies Kabbalah. I've tried to study it but have never been abel to make sens eof it before, so congratulations.
I haven been learning from Modern Magick for a while
Its not my path but I did turn some stuff into daily work for me such as the lesser banishing.. The tree of life is not my thing
I do the middle pillar at times and I am starting evoctions
Its very old wisdom for what ever it's worth...I view it as one of the best paths for white ligthers..All paths are the same in the sense its great to take what ever works for you and use it even its its not your main path.Great tarot works too.
The tree of life is a glyph (or potential glyph) of the universe and the constitution of the interior world/psyche. It is a symbol whereby we can map out the various levels of consciousness and reality and a symbol set which allows us to subconsciously integrate these things and provide our own minds a language with which to communicate with us.
It is a map which is partially drawn and waiting to be laid down by each individual person who studies hermetic qabalah.
There are different methods, astral projection for the purpose of self knowledge, pathwalking, rising on the planes gradually, ritual and invocation etc.
The list could go on and on. In terms of emotional and psychological qualities my preference would be ritual as well as astral work prior to this which brings knowledge in on what exactly could and should be done.
