- | On the [[Tree of Life]], every [[Sephiroth]] and Path is represented by dieties from various cultures, namely [[Egyptian Godforms|Egyptian]], [[Hindu Godforms|Hindu]], [[Scandinavian Godforms|Scandinavian]], [[Greek Godforms|Greek]], [[Roman Godforms|Roman]], and [[Christian Godforms|Christian]]. The general idea is that the nature of the given Path or Sephiroth is reflected in the character of the attributed godform(s). For example, the [[Path of Gimel]] is represented by Luna, and so one attributed godform is [[Artemis]], the Greek goddess of the Moon. | + | {{treetext}} |

Within the western magical tradition, the Tree of Life is used as a kind of conceptual filing cabinet within the larger system of the Qabalah, the use of which was central to the mystical teachings of Aleister Crowley. Each sephera ("Emination") and path is assigned various ideas, such as astrological planets and signs, cards of the Tarot, and the classical elements. Many of these correspondances were gathered together in Crowley's book Liber 777, which is used for these listings.
