The following extract is from a series of mystical knowledge articles and videos about Kabbalah …
Kabbalah symbols have an important meaning to the followers of the Jewish faith, much like Christian symbols mean something to Christians. The tree of life symbol and the Kabbalah red string bracelet are symbols that are instantly recognized within the Jewish community as a part of Kabbalah faith. The Kabbalah talisman means something more than just a pretty item of a necklace. It has a unique meaning and symbolizes a history within the Kabbalah faith that cannot be mistaken for just some bling and glitz regardless of which famous celebrity wears it as decoration.
With regard to Kabbalah symbols, the tree of life symbol was originally called the Etz haChavim and is looked upon as a blueprint of creation. It is a representation of a tree and how we are all bound together as one. We all come from the same common root and are all interconnected in the same tree even when we are on separate branches of life.
The Kabbalah tree, known as the tree of life symbol, is called the diagram of the Sephiroth and is a drawing of how creation came to exist. It comes from the holy texts of Sefer Yetzirah, Bahir, and the most widely known, the Zohar. It would be extremely impossible to explain without drawings how the tree of life symbols actually look since so many of the texts differ on the numbers, path and even plants that the Sephot actually represent. It is a matter of which representation of the books and beliefs that the tree of life actually takes on that make up the life pathways for the drawings themselves. You would need to look it up to know.
Christianity worships the cross. Those who follow different religions each have symbols that they believe to be sacred. Kabbalah symbols, such as the Kabbalah tree are no different. It takes on a life of its own to those who follow Kabbalah and truly believe in the representations of each of the branches that originate from the words and inscriptions. The red string Kabbalah bracelet is more than just a piece of jewelry. It is a representation of history and a way to understanding the path to creation for the Kabbalah follower to journey upon.
