It is now proper to consider the relations of the Sephiroth with each other. (See dia‐ gram in Appendix B—Correspondences.) It will be noticed that twenty‐two lines are em‐ ployed to complete the structure of the Tree of Life. It will be explained in due course how it is that these correspond to the letters of the Hebrew alphabet. It will be remarked that in some respects …
