Hello everyone (new member to the forum). I have had a burning question about Qabalah lore for several years now and I would like to ask the members of the forum about their thoughts on this.
In the Golden Dawn System there is no pathway to connect the third (Binah) sepherah with the fourth (Chesed) sepherah (which would run through Da’at). When I first began studying the 22 pathways within the Golden Dawn system as it relates to Qabalah this stroked my curiosity. All depictions if the Lightening Path of creation that I have come across depict a flow of creation that occurs in sequence between these two sepheroth. However, when you retrace the Lightening Path of creation with the Golden Dawn system of pathways you cannot do it when it comes to Binah and Chesed.
Thus in the Golden Dawn system it looks like this from top (Kether) to bottom (Malkuth): Path 11, Aleph, The Fool; Path 14, Daleth, The Empress; ???Potential Missing Pathway Through Da’at???; Path 19, Teth, Strength; Path 22, Lamed, Justice; Path 24, Nun, Death; Path 27, Peh, The Tower; Path 30, Resh, The Sun; Path 32, Tau Mark, The World.
I am curious if anyone knows any lore of why this is. Does it have to do with The Fall? Perhaps an affect of the void? Does this mean the Lighting Path of creation cannot be recreated in our travelings of the pathways on the tree? Perhaps an argument for The Happy Squirrel card??? So many possibilities! Any thoughts, insight, or resources anyone can offer would be deeply appreciated.
