The '''[[Oracle of Amun]]''' was a solitary [[oracle]] temple located at the Siwa Oasis in Western Egypt near Libya devoted to the [[Egyptian religion|Egyptian god]] [[Amun-Ra]]. It later became known as the Temple of Zeus-Ammon during the Greek Period and the Temple of Jupiter-Ammon during the Roman Period. The temple was built to precisely align with the spring and fall Equinox sunrise when viewed from the Timasirayn Temple, 12 kilometers away across Lake Siwa.
'''[[Qlippoth]]''' (also spelled '''Klipot''' or '''Qliphoth''') are the representation of evil or impure spiritual forces in [[Judaism|Jewish]] mystical [[Kabbalah]]. They are the opposites of the [[sefirot]]. The schema commonly utilized to visualize the qlippoth is known as the [[Tree of Death]] (sometimes, "Tree of Knowledge") instead of the [[Tree of Life]], where the sefirot reside.


When the traveler and historian Strabo visited Egypt in 23 BC, he recorded that the Oracle of Amon had lost almost all importance. Inscriptions which date back as late as Trajan (98-117 AD) can still be found at the temple. This suggests that even though the Siwa had faded in significance, Roman emperors still honored its cultural and historical significance.
Many [[occultist]]s have interpreted the qlippoth in different ways, depending on their personal cosmological beliefs as well as their personal experiences working with qlippothic energies. In broad terms, the qlippoth are the left-over remains of a previous incarnation of the universe in which we live. They represent shadows of a distant cosmic past which sometimes influence our present world. The qlippoth are first mentioned in the ''[[Zohar]]'', where they are described as being created by [[Yahweh|God]] to function as a nutshell for holiness, likening them to a shell which precedes the creation of the fruit inside.
