Primordial Chaos ~
Olam HaTohu ~ World of Chaos
THE FIRST DOCUMENTED EVENT OF CHAOS IS....
THE LURIANIC DRAMA OF CREATION AKA THE BIG BANG
Hey, folks! Are you ready to enter the Jewish world of Magick? Get ready to travel down the mystical rabbit hole with Rabbi Isaac Luria, aka the Arizal - the OG Jewish magickian from Safed, Israel. He was all about that Kabbalah life, obsessed with the Zohar and his own wild mystical experiences, that he practically put Madonna to shame.
He wasn't content with just scribbling in the margins of the Zohar; his experiences inspired him to introduce four central themes into kabbalistic thought and trust me, these themes are not your grandma's Kabbalah. According to him, the spiritual world is shaped by our intentions and actions. So basically, it's like how you dress and strut your stuff can change the whole vibe of the cosmos. No pressure, right?
To him shaping the spiritual realm was like molding clay in the hands of a toddler - a little tricky, but totally possible - it is about Tzimtzum (contraction/constriction of Divine light), Shevirat HaKelim (the shattering of the vessels that contained Divine light), Tikkun Olam (repair of the vessels), and Partzufim (reconfiguration of the Divine light).
