-'''[[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. 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.

Rhodes' book ''The Satanic Mass'' published in London in 1954, and there is now a range of modern versions of the Black Mass performed by various religious groups.

However, as early [[Christianity]] became more established and its influence began to spread, the early Church Fathers encountered [[heresy|heretical]] sects practicing their own versions of the Mass. Some of these rituals were of a [[sex magic|sexual nature]].
