Jewish Kabbalah and its later adaptations

It is worth distinguishing the layers. The Jewish tradition (Lurianic Kabbalah above all, with its account of the shattering of the vessels and their repair, tikkun), is a living current of religious thought and practice. The Hermetic Kabbalah of the Golden Dawn and its successors is a later, syncretic adaptation that treats the Tree as a filing system for correspondences drawn from many traditions.

The entries note which layer a given detail belongs to. The Tree of Life recurs throughout the atlas because so many later systems were hung upon it, and this section is where its own structure is set out.
