	Hod (Kabbalah) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hod ("Majesty"; הוד) in the Kabbalah of Judaism is the eighth sephira of the Kabbalistic tree of life.
		Prayer is seen as form of "submission"; Hod is explained as an analogy: that instead of "conquering" an obstacle in one's way, (which is the idea of Netzach), subduing oneself to that "obstacle" is related to the quality of Hod.
		Hod is described as being a force that breaks down energy into different, distinguishable forms, and it is associated with intellectuality, learning and ritual, as opposed to Netzach, Victory, which is the power of energy to overcome all barriers and limitations, and is associated with emotion and passion, music and dancing.

	Kabbalah
		Kabbalah, which is the spelling usually preferred by scholars, specifically refers to oral mystical teaching not normally revealed to the general population, but passed on from the adepts to the initiates.
		Although the Kabbalah is founded on the Torah, the Jewish scriptures and other sacred writings, it is no intellectual discipline; and the mystic is not to practice it in solitude, but is to employ it to enlighten humanity.
		The Kabbalah, which is based on the theory of the soul's descent from and ascent to God, is made up of ten sephirots instead of nine which is due to the influence of the Pythagorean theory.

	The Keys to Kaballah
		Kabbalah teaches that we are in human form for the purpose of learning that we are so endowed, and to grow and develop by learning to bring the activity of Yechidah, or spirit, into the experience of life, discovering self-knowledge and self-realisation as we do so.
		In Hod they are given the vital energies, as distinct from the principle of energy in Geburah, which are appropriate to, and necessary for them to become finally expressed in Malkuth, the Kingdom, as distinct forms of life different from each other, although each according to its type, or ground plan.
		Hod is an active Sephira, and we may recall to advantage the aspects of Hod previously referred to of analysis and classification.

	Judaism 101: Kabbalah and Jewish Mysticism
		The areas of Jewish thought that most extensively discuss these issues, Kabbalah and Jewish mysticism, were traditionally not even taught to people until the age of 40, when they had completed their education in Torah and Talmud.
		The mystical school of thought came to be known as Kabbalah, from the Hebrew root Qof-Bet-Lamed, meaning "to receive, to accept." The word is usually translated as "tradition." In Hebrew, the word does not have any of the dark, sinister, evil connotations that it has developed in English.

		Kabbalah, also spelled Kabbala (Hebrew: "tradition"), is generally known as the name for esoteric Jewish mysticism as it appeared in the 12th century and later.

		Kabbalah is only one of the many terms used, during a period of more than 1500 years, to designate the mystical movement, its teaching, and its adherents, says Scholem.

		Hod also modulates the intermittent, pulsing nature of Netzach and operates in a steady state of devotion, subordination and consistency.
		The passive, receptive nature of Hod is necessary to control the extravagance of Netzach.
		If Hod tried to resist the energy flowing from Netzach it would block the flow from Kether to Malkuth, resulting in the non-existence of our physical universe.

	Byzant Kabbalah - Paths on the Tree of Life
		Judaic Kabbalah often employs a Tree with a slight variation in path placements, but esoteric tradition is fairly consistent in presenting the Tree as above.
		There is a natural tendency to view the Tree as a series of discrete objects rather than as the unified, undifferentiated whole it actually is, and the paths allow us to begin the process of reintegrating the Tree by exploring the relationships between pairs of sefirot.
		The Tarot and the Kabbalah discusses the relationship between the 78 cards of the Tarot and the Tree of Life, and includes a diagram showing the attributions of the paths.
