===Crowns of the qlippoth=== | |||
The ''Zohar'' says there are three "crowns of the qlippoth," each connected to a region in the Middle East. These three crowns represent powers which ruled the land of Israel, or forcibly relocated the Jews for limited periods of time: | |||
* Horror = Babylon (423 BC - 372 BC) | |||
* Darkness = Media/Persia (372 BC - 348 BC) | |||
* Great = Greece (371 BC - 140 BC) | |||
The passage where these crowns are discussed also contains a reference to the [[alchemy|alchemical]] principle "as above, so below" found on the [[Emerald Tablet]]: | |||
<blockquote> | |||
"We spoke of the lamb, which the Holy One, blessed be He, said: 'You perform an action below and I will break their power above', so 'I will utterly blot it out.' You ACT below and I WILL ACT above." | |||
</blockquote> | |||
