TitleThe privileged divine feminine in KabbalahTypeTextMonographClassificationLCC: BM526 .I3426 2019 (Assigner: dlc) (Status: used by assigner)DDC: 296.16 full (Source: 23) Supplementary Contentbibliography index SummaryThis volume addresses the complex topic of the preeminent status of the divine feminine power, to be referred also as Female, within the theosophical structures of many important Kabbalists, Sabbatean believers, and Hasidic masters. This privileged status is part of a much broader vision of the Female as stemming from a very high root within the divine world, then She was emanated and constitutes the tenth, lower divine power, and even in this lower state She is sometime conceived of governing this world and as equal to the divine Male. In some cases, an uroboric theosophy links the Female Malkhut directly to the first divine power, Keter. The author further points to the possible impact of some of the Kabbalistic discussions on conceptualizations of the feminine in the Renaissance period--back cover.Authorized Access PointIdel, Moshe, 1947- The privileged divine feminine in Kabbalah
