The Qlipoth is the invert
or shadow of the Tree of Life. 
In myth, there were broken shells
left behind from the first
creation of the Sephiroth.
Because the power of Genesis
was overwhelming, reality
shattered into empty vessels
where negative forces then
thrived.  After this event, a second
Tree of Life was formed which we
now occupy. For the magician to
tap into the greatest potential
he/she must face the Qlipoth
after obtaining the KCHGA and
transform the primal, dark,
hidden and suppressed aspects
of themselves in order to reach
self balance and learn their
"True Will".
