It will be observed by reference to the diagrams that the Se_phiroth readily lend themselves to this threefold vertical division, for they are arranged in three columns. These are called the Right-hand Pillar of Mercy, the Left-hand Pillar of Severity, and the Middle Pillar of ;\iildness or Equilibrium (see diagram I). 4· Before proceeding any further we must make clear the significance of the right and left sides of the Tree.
