Description
The Privileged Divine Feminine in Kabbalah explores the complex concept of the divine feminine power within various Kabbalistic traditions.
This volume examines the preeminent status of the female principle, which is seen as emanating from a high root within the divine world and governing the lower divine powers. The author discusses how this feminine power is sometimes conceived of as equal to the male principle and returning to its original place in special moments.
The book also touches on the possible impact of Kabbalistic discussions on conceptualizations of the feminine in the Renaissance period, highlighting the significance of the female principle within these traditions.
