Experience Description

The great mother who receives the force of Chokmah and gives it form. Understanding through limitation. The cosmic womb where all potential becomes actual. Also the great sea of sorrow—for to give form is to limit, and to limit is to create death.

Practical Work
Meditation
Contemplate the womb, the ocean, the dark receptive void that shapes force into form
Invocation

Work with Tzaphkiel for understanding karma, time, form

Warning

Binah holds grief—the understanding that form means death

Resonance
Those ready to understand through limitation
