Hod

Left Leg - Submission

The eighth Emanation. The force that abides. 

Hod is what guides us when we surrender ourselves to the flow of fate and let destiny guide our motion. Through her light, we see the boundlessness of glory. Waving our hands through the wind, we feel the air pull us upward. It's only be resigning ourselves to the forces around us that we truly experience the nature of those forces.

The golden orb shines a radiant light upon our shoulders.

Supporting the "pillar of severity," Hod does not press back against the weight of the Tree. Instead, she simply lets is pass through her, flowing like water down into the lowest portion of the diagram. Through the two opposing characteristics of Hod and Netzah, relinquishing and resisting, we gain the power to move. Together they form the power to carry ourselves through the world with grace and intention.
