THE TREE OF LIFE

The Tree of Life includes

The 10 Emanations or Sephiroth
The 22 Paths that connect them
The Correspondences

Columns from Liber 777:

XXXVIII, "Animals, Real and Imaginary"

Within the western magical tradition, the Tree of Life is used as a kind of conceptual filing
cabinet within the larger system of the Qabalah, the use of which was central to the mystical
teachings of Aleister Crowley. Each sephera ("Emination") and path is assigned various ideas,
such as astrological planets and signs, cards of the Tarot, and the classical elements. Many of
these correspondances were gathered together in Crowley's book Liber 777, which is used for
these listings.
