Sephirah of the cabalistic
Tree of Life, the central Sephirah on the
Middle Pillar. The term is a Hebrew word meaning "Beauty." It represents the archetype of the number 6, the descent of the Godhead into consciousness. It corresponds to the divine name YHWH Eloah va-Daath, the archangel
Raphael, the angelic choir called Melekim (Kings), and Shemesh, or heavenly Sphere of the Sun.

Kether is the Radix of a Golden Glory and thence is there a pure, primitive and sparkling, gleaming golden yellow which is reflected unto
Tiphareth. Thus is the
first reflected Triad completed. And the Sphere of its operation is that of
Shemesh, the Solar Light, and bestoweth Life, Light and Brilliancy in metallic matter, and it ruleth the sphere of action of the
Sun. And
Yhvh Eloha va-Daath is a God of Knowledge and Wisdom, ruling over the Light of the Universe; and its Archangel is
Raphael, the Prince of Brightness, Beauty and Life. And the Name of the Order of Angels is
Melechim or
Malakim, that is Kings or Angelic Kings, who are also called the Order of Virtues, Angels and Rulers. The Angels Peniel and Pelial are also referred unto this
Sephira. It especially rules the Mineral world.
