In the mystical faith of Kabbalah, different archangels and the angelic orders, they
supervise work together to express God's divine energy to human beings. The Tree of Life
illustrates the ways God has designed energy to flow within creation, and how angels
express that energy throughout the universe. Each of the tree's branches (called "sephirot")
corresponds to a divine name that the angels declare as they express the creative energy.

Here are the divine names on each of the Tree of Life's branches:

* Kether (the Crown): Eheieh (I Am)

* Chokmah or Hokmah (wisdom): Jehovah (The Lord)

* Binah (understanding): Jehovah Elohim (The Lord God)

* Chesed or Hesed (mercy): El (The Mighty One)

* Geburah (strength): Eloh (The Almighty)

* Tiphareth or Tifereth (beauty): Eloah Va-Daath (God Manifest)

* Netzach (eternity): Jehovah Sabaoth (Lord of Hosts)

* Hod (glory): Elohim Sabaoth (God of Hosts)

* Yesod (the foundation): El Chai (Mighty Living One)

* Malkuth or Malkhuth (the kingdom): Adonai he-Aretz (Lord of Earth)

The Tree of Life in mystical Judaism, called Kabbalah (sometimes spelled "Qabala"),
illustrates how God the Creator, expresses his creative energy throughout the universe,
through angels and on to human beings. Each of the tree's branches (called "sephirot")
symbolize a particular type of creative force that a different Archangel oversees. By
focusing on the different energies one by one, people can develop a closer spiritual union
with God, believers say.

The Crown
Kether (the Crown) features Archangel Metatron. As the angel of life, Metatron is at the top
of the tree, directing God's living energy throughout the universe God has created. Metatron
connects human beings living on earth with the divine energy of God and helps people
incorporate that sacred energy into their lives. Metatron also brings spiritual balance to all
of the different yet interconnected parts of God's creation and helps people achieve spiritual
enlightenment.

Wisdom
Chokmah (wisdom) features Archangel Raziel. As the angel of mysteries, Raziel reveals
divine mysteries to people that help them become wiser. By showing people how to
incorporate their knowledge into their lives in practical ways, through Raziel's guidance.
Raziel helps people reach their full potential, according to God's good purposes for their
lives.

Understanding
Binah (understanding) features Archangel Tzaphkiel. As the angel of compassionate
understanding, Tzaphkiel leads the angels who send the spiritual energy of understanding to
people. Tzaphkiel helps people learn more about God, sends them insights about
themselves as God's beloved children, and guides them to make decisions in their daily
lives that reflect that core identity.

Mercy
Chesed (mercy) features Archangel Zadkiel. As the angel of mercy, Zadkiel and the angels
he supervises send the energy of God's mercy throughout the universe. That involves
inspiring people to be kind to others because God is kind to them. It also includes giving
people peace when they pray so they can be confident that God will answer their prayers
according to what's truly best.

Strength
Geburah (strength) features Archangel Chamuel. As the angel of peaceful relationships,
Chamuel exercises tough love to strengthen relationships so that people can experience
peace -- within themselves, with each other, and with God. Chamuel and the angels he
oversees test people's beliefs and motivations. In the process, they purify them to help
people develop stronger relationships with God.

Beauty
Tiphareth (beauty) features Archangels Michael and Raphael (working together). This
angelic team joins extremely powerful forces: Michael is God's top angel, and Raphael is
the leading angel of healing. As they express the divine energy of beauty, they help people
tap into a higher level of consciousness.

Eternity
Netzach (eternity) features Archangel Haniel. As the angel of joy, Haniel expresses God's
eternal energy by helping people rely on God (who is eternally reliable) rather than on their
changing emotions, and by enlightening people with insights that can bring them joy in any
circumstances.

Glory
Hod (glory) features Archangels Michael and Raphael (working together). Just as they
partner to express the divine energy of beauty, Michael and Raphael join forces to express
God's glory, because that glory is beautiful. Together, these great archangels fight sin to
make sure that the splendor of God's perfect design for creation wins out over sin that tries
to corrupt that glorious design. Michael and Raphael also help people discover and fulfill
God's glorious will for their lives.

The Foundation
Yesod (the foundation) features Archangel Gabriel. As the angel of revelation, Gabriel is a
master communicator, so God has assigned Gabriel to be in charge of the tree's foundation.
In that role, Gabriel connects people to God through messages of faith and helps people
rely on their faith in God to make transitions in life.

The Kingdom
Malkuth (the kingdom) features Archangel Sandalphon. As the angel of music and prayer,
Sandalphon sends messages back and forth between God and human beings in God's
 4

kingdom. Sandalphon's efforts are designed to keep the divine energy flowing freely,
nurturing all parts of God's kingdom.
