Excellent! You just have to promise to post pictures!!! I excited at the prospect of my buying a digital camera within the next week or two w/ tax return money! My pics tab will be brimming with scenes from a New Haven life.

ahh the tree of life is a beautiful sigil of the man/woman and the universe. great fun.

the tree is split into three "branches" or pillars. One down the middle, represeting the pure and balanced energy of divinity, and one on each the left and the right. the left and the right represent all the opposite tendencies of things (intellect/emotion and so on)

yesod is #9, and where all three pillars merge; thus it is a place of resolution and combination. it is related to the moon, and to the astral dreamscape. The spiritual state identified in Chassidut as corresponding to the sefirah of yesod is that of emet (truth), in the sense of the power to "verify" one's convictions and emotions in action and to achieve true self-fulfillment in life.
