Tiphareth and Geburah
In the last couple of days, I have finished two new qabalah collages.
I have been collecting images on this one for a while, but they didn’t come together until I found the top image of the woman pointing and screaming. Her rage at injustice, the breaking of chains, and the destruction of a bombed out 1940s London seemed to pull together nuanced aspects of Geburah.
I was inspired to work on Tiphareth just yesterday by something another sister on the path wrote in her LiveJournal about the sphere:
To part the veils of pride…to seek voice in asking for aid…to be the sacrificed one for the many, the devoted mystic.
I’d love to hear your take on both the images and the spheres.
My other qabalah images are on Flickr.

The geburah one is very powerful. I can completely understand that one. I had to think about Tiferet. I love the quote you used and then I found this on one of the Kabbalah sites I often use as a resource:
“The tribe of Levi (the “chosen” of the tribes of Israel , just as Jacob himself, the third of the patriarchs–tiferet–is the “chosen” of the patriarchs) divides into two, the Kohanim and the Leviim. In order for tiferet, the middle line, to connect and balance the two lines of right and left it, in itself, must possess two “sides.”
Here’s the source: http://www.inner.org/sefirot/seftifer.htm
Once I read that — your image made total sense. It’s a beautiful interpretation.
