Description
A’arab Zaraq is the opposite of Netzach, which represents victory; but this qlippoth represents unrestrained passion which is so intense that it destroys anyone who comes in contact with it. It may yield many forms of excess: lust, greed, gluttony, or desire. Its connection with Venus is a negative and hostile form of lust which seeks to objectify and dehumanize whatever it desires.
On the Tree of Death, A’arab Zaraq is the final sphere in the Realm of Evil. This region is inhabited by qlippoth which actively seek to harm and even destroy mortals.
