Kabbalah Symbols - A Brief Guide
The following extract is from a series of mystical knowledge articles, videos and tips about Kabbalah …
No wonder some followers object to the idea of just anyone wearing the Kabbalah symbols of their faith as a mere fashion accessory. The tree of life symbol, even when encrusted with diamonds and gold means something more to them than just pretty decoration to be worn out to a new club or social event. It is a mark of their faith and their beliefs. It is a representation of their customs and beliefs and is something that helps them remember their faith on a daily basis.
Regarding Kabbalah symbols, the tree of life symbol was originally called the Etz haChavim and is looked upon as a blueprint of creation. It is a representation of a tree and how we are all bound together as one. We all come from the same common root and are all interconnected in the same tree even when we are on different branches of life.
The Kabbalah tree, or the tree of life symbol, is called the diagram of the Sephiroth and is a drawing of how creation came to be. It comes from the texts of Sefer Yetzirah, Bahir, and the most widely known, the Zohar. It would be quite impossible to explain without drawings how the tree of life symbols actually look since so many of the texts differ on the numbers, path and even plants that the Sephot actually represent. It is a matter of which representation of the books and beliefs that the tree of life actually takes on that make up the life pathways for the drawings themselves. You would need to research deeper to know.
Christianity has its cross. The followers of different religions each have symbols that they believe to be sacred. Kabbalah symbols, such as the Kabbalah tree are no different. It takes on a life of its own to those who follow Kabbalah and truly subscribe to the representations of each of the branches that originate from the words and inscriptions. The red string Kabbalah bracelet is more than a piece of jewelry. It is a representation of history and a way to understanding the path to creation for the Kabbalah follower to journey upon.
