Freemasonry and The Kabbalistic Tree of Life

The Kabbalistic Tree of Life, the Tarot, the Druids, and the Masonic precepts of self-improvement all have a common thread running through them: the belief in the power of the individual to understand and harness universal forces for personal and spiritual growth.


The Kabbalistic Tree of Life is a central concept in the Jewish mystical tradition of Kabbalah. It is a diagram representing the ten sefirot (divine emanuators) and the 22 paths connecting them. The sefirot represent the various aspects of God and the ways in which God reveals Himself to humanity. Each sefirah is connected to the others by the 22 paths, which represent the different ways in which the sefirot interact and influence one another.


The Tarot is a deck of cards used for divination and spiritual guidance. It is believed to have originated in the Middle East and was later adopted by the Gypsies. The Tarot consists of 78 cards, divided into the Major Arcana (22 cards) and the Minor Arcana (56 cards). The Major Arcana cards represent the major themes and milestones in a person's life, while the Minor Arcana cards represent the more mundane aspects of everyday life. The Tarot is often used as a tool for self-exploration and self-improvement, as it allows one to gain insight into their own thoughts, feelings, and motivations.


The Druids were a group of Celtic priests, philosophers, and judges who lived in ancient Britain, Ireland, and Gaul (modern-day France). They were known for their knowledge of the natural world and their use of divination and magical practices. The Druids believed in the interconnectedness of all things and the power of nature to heal and guide us. They also believed in the power of the individual to shape their own destiny and attain spiritual enlightenment.


The Masonic precepts of self-improvement are based on the principles of Freemasonry, a fraternity that has been around for centuries. Freemasonry is a fraternity that advocates for brotherhood, charity, and self-improvement. It is based on the belief that each person has the potential to become a better person through education, self-reflection, and personal development. Freemasonry encourages its members to seek knowledge, wisdom, and understanding, and to use their skills and talents to benefit their communities and the world.


All of these practices share a common belief in the power of the individual to understand and harness universal forces for personal and spiritual growth. The Kabbalistic Tree of Life, the Tarot, the Druids, and the Masonic precepts of self-improvement all offer tools and practices for self-exploration and self-improvement. They encourage individuals to delve deep within themselves, to understand their own thoughts, feelings, and motivations, and to use this understanding to make positive changes in their lives and the world around them.


In conclusion, the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, the Tarot, the Druids, and the Masonic precepts of self-improvement are all practices that have been used for centuries to facilitate personal and spiritual growth. Whether through divination, the study of nature, or the pursuit of self-improvement, these practices offer individuals the opportunity to understand and harness universal forces for their own benefit and the benefit of others.
