[quotes-from-the-bookery]

“‘I know the rules as well as you do. Take her. But as God is my witness, the next time we meet face to face I will speak a Name, and you and everything you have created will be excised from the universe forever, and if you say even a single unnecessary word right now I will make it hurt.’

The grin disappeared from the demon’s face.

‘You can’t harm me,’ said Thamiel. ‘I am a facet of God.’

‘I will recarve God without that facet,” said the Comet King.’”

Unsong, Scott Alexander

Sephiroth and Qliphoth are the respective ‘sides’ of the [stations/pools/paths] on the Qabalistic Tree of Life. A very loose translation could say that the Sephiroth are the cores and the Qliphoth are the shells, the insides and the outsides.

"In the deeper, more philosophical teaching of the Mysteries we recognize that good and evil are not things in themselves, but conditions. Evil is simply misplaced force; misplaced in time, it is out of date, or so far ahead of its day to be impracticible. Misplaced in space, if it turns up in the wrong place, like the burning coal on the hearth-rug or the bathwater through the drawing room ceiling. Misplaced in proportion, if an excess of love makes us silly and sentimental, or a lack of love makes us cruel and destructive."

-Dion Fortune - The Mystical Qabalah, 1935

What we’ll call [energy/emanation], the Ain Soph Aur, the Limitless Light of the Unmanifest, is [compressed/crystallized] into reality at the first station, Kether, at the top. Prior to this it is some sort of inconceivable non-reality that is not even non-reality because all dualities are equilibriated in Kether.

Here is a basic rundown of the stations. Some of this information is out of date: For instance, Yesod was damaged in an incident a number of years ago; I can’t speak to which angels and demons are still alive and what sides they are on; also, Tiphareth, called ‘the Christ centre’, existed before Iesua did- so what was it before the Christ? Anyway:
