The Kabbalistic Tree

The Kabbalistic Tree of Life is a central symbol in Kabbalah, which is Jewish mysticism. It is a map of ten interconnected spheres, called the sefirot, that represents the process of divine creation and the flow of divine energy into the world. This spiritual and symbolic structure provides a framework for understanding the relationship between God, the human soul, and the universe.


1 - Kether

Kether is the first of the ten sefirot in the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, representing the highest and most abstract emanation of the divine will and consciousness. Often translated as "The Crown," it symbolizes pure, incomprehensible potential, the "Hidden Light," or "Nothing," from which all of creation originates. It is the point of ultimate unity, containing all potential but no content, acting as the source and goal of the entire creative process.
