Yesod is the water of the Moon and magick of belief. It is also the beginning and the end as symbolized by the number 9. The beginning of a spiritual journey and the end of your material ties.
It is the first state of energy we rise to from our earthly existence in Malkuth Malkuth.. Taking the path of The Fool, we blindly step out into the unknown with no logical and material reason other than faith. In Yesod we have the energy of emotions, the power of the Moon and way to salvation through Tiphareth Tiphareth.. We see the greatest part of The of The Tree of Life, Life, Kether , from this first attainable step in the Sephiroths. Kether Kether can can be seen reflected in Tiphareth from Yesod. So we glimpse the wonderful destination of our travels up The Tree of Life even at this first stage of growth. From here at Yesod we must zig zag up The Tree of Life in the pattern called Nechushtan, the lightning flash. It is the unfolding of the cosmic energies like a fiery sword or coiling serpent that reveal to us the correct way to cross each energy level or Sephiroth and travel the best combination of paths. The accepted route via The Lightening flash up The Tree of Life is like this. From Malkuth to Yesod via The Fool, then from to Hod via Judgment, to Netzach to Netzach via The Star, onto Tiphareth via Temperance, next Geburah via The Hanged Man, across to Chesed via The Hermit, then up to Binah Binah,, but there is no path here ! Chesed or Jupiter is the last of the earthly gods we can comprehend. We can meditate and

visualize the Sephiroth of Binah, but in our human form we cannot go there. So that is why there is no apparent path. Actually there is a way via Daath, the hidden Sephiroth. But it is said that to take this path will result in madness as the early Qabalaistic magicians found out. Whether this madness was their bliss at having found Binah whilst still in human form cannot be said, but they certainly lost all use for this world by taking this way. Assuming we have visualized Binah we can comprehend, although not take, the final paths up The Tree of Life in the Supernal Triangle.
