The Qabalistic Tree of Life vs The "Shamanic" Tree

Postby makedonce78 » Fri Mar 04, 2011 4:48 pm

I've been sitting here and pondering this. In Qabalah this world is in Malkuth - on the bottom. In my country (Macedonia) and a lot more others around Europe that show shamanic roots the Tree is separated in 3 worlds: the roots are the underworld, the trunk is this world and the branches the upper world.

I was wondering are they even compatible? If so, how would you make any correspondences? :shock:

When I think of a real tree i always associate the roots with the A.'.A, the body with the R.C. and the branches with the G.D.

There is no law beyond Do what thou wilt.
26. My God! Let Thy secret fang pierce to the marrow of the little secret bone that I have kept against the Day of Vengeance of Hoor-Ra. Let Kheph-Ra sound his sharded drone! let the jackals of Day and Night howl in the wilderness of Time! let the Towers of the Universe totter, and the guardians hasten away! For my Lord hath revealed Himself as a mighty serpent, and my heart is the blood of His body.
--Liber LXV; cap iv

Aspirant of the A.'.A.'.

Can you see me? I am on the TREE looking up at YOU.

That would be a great study in my book.
Certainly i can see the comparison that in some of the Shamanic Practice cultures, the Tree is a Living SYMBOL that is used (along with other Shamanic Technology)to change STATES/WORLDS like in HERMETICISM, and also used to 'find' and 'anchor' STATES/WORLDS, so one 'knows where they are' so to speak.
