Od and Obd

(Hebrew; some translate Odb as Ob) A Kabbalistic symbol representing two energetic forces in the body, known in Sanskrit as Ida and Pingala.

“You are my witness (Hebrew: עד OD), saith Iod Hei Vav Hei, and my servant (Hebrew: עבד OBD) whom I have chosen: that ye may know (Da’ath) and believe me, that these are the faces of your Binah: before me “El” (Chesed) was not formed, neither shall he (Chesed) become after me (Binah).

The Double-Edged Sword of Judgement

Fifth Sephirah – Geburah – Might, Severity, Justice: ‘You shall not kill.’

The virtue of this Sephirah is: און AUN that is pronounced “ON” and signifies: Strength, Valour, Virility.

This Sephirah is represented by the powerful warrior who, riding a white horse, defends the humble and virtuous and hurt the arrogant and impure with the double-edge-sword-like tongue that protrudes from his mouth (Upright Judgment).

The divine energy of this Sephirah is inverted by the demons of Klipoth, “Hell”; demons use their might for destruction, despotism, terrorism, cruelty, tyranny, etc through the vice of fear (“Stupid Judgment”).

6 + 9 = 15

Tiphereth and Yesod = Tiphon- Baphomet

Who is the Devil?
