Tree of Life, Etz haChayim
Diagram of the Sephirothic Tree, showing the Divine Attributes, the Jewish mystical system enshrined in the Kabbalah. The Tree of Life, or Etz haChayim in Hebrew, is a classic descriptive term for the central mystical symbol used in the Kabbalah of esoteric Judaism, also known as the 10 Sephirot. The tree, visually or conceptually, represents as a series of divine emanations God's creation itself ex nihilo, the nature of revealed divinity, the human soul, and the spiritual path of ascent by man. In this way, Kabbalists developed the symbol into a full model of reality, using the tree to depict a map of creation. From Robert Fludd's Philosophia Sacra, 1626.
