| | Donmeh West - Ten Sefirot of Jewish Kabbalah |
 | | A distinction is made in Kabbalah between the unknowable Godhead, the Eyn Sof or "infinite", and the knowable qualities of God, represented by the Sefirot. |
 | | As Kabbalah developed the Sefirot have been given different meanings, each later meaning superimposed over the earlier ones. |
 | | It is necessary to visualize these Ten Sefirot as being connected by "Pathways" that go both down and across the diagram -- and particularly the Pathway of the "Central Column" (Sefirot 1, 6, 9 and 10, the sum of which, incidently, equals 26, the Gematria of the Hebrew letters YHVH, the name of God). |
