The ancient vision of the Kabbalah sees creation as the descent of Light through four worlds: Atziluth, the realm of pure emanation; Briah, the realm of creation; Yetzirah, the realm of formation; and Assiah, the world of action. When the lips of a human being shape Sacred words, that descent is enacted. The voice carries…
Among the forgotten legends of Christendom stands Wilgefortis, the crucified woman with a beard. Her image unsettled the faithful because it broke the logic of gender and form. But behind the strangeness shines a profound sigil. Wilgefortisembodies the paradox where the Christian Cross and the Hermetic caduceus meet. She is woman and man, victim and…

The Eight of Cups has long been a card that unsettles the contemplative soul. Its image is one of departure, leaving behind vessels that once promised fullness yet now spill only a bitter residue. The figure who turns away goes into obscurity. It speaks of abandonment, of stepping out from a chamber where the air…

There is a passage in Megillah 29a that speaks with a simple and inexhaustible voice. It says that, when Israel went into exile, the Shekhinah went with them. The Presence did not remain aloof in heaven, untouched by grief. She descended, clothed herself in the dust of Babylon, and remained beside her children. Few lines…
