The following extract is from a series of mysticism related articles, videos and tips about Kabbalah symbols …
No wonder some followers abbhor the notion of just anyone wearing the Kabbalah symbols of their faith as a mere fashion bling. The tree of life symbol, even when encrusted with diamonds and gold means something more to them than just fancy decoration to be worn out to a new club or fashion show. It is a mark of their faith and their beliefs. It is a representation of their belief system and is something that reminds them of their faith on a daily basis.
Regarding Kabbalah symbols, the tree of life symbol was originally called the Etz haChavim and is looked upon as a road map to creation. It is a representation of a tree and how we are all joined together as one. We all come from the same common root and are all interconnected in the same tree even when we are on separate branches of life.
The Kabbalah tree, known as the tree of life symbol, is called the diagram of the Sephiroth and is a drawing of how creation came to be. It comes from the texts of Sefer Yetzirah, Bahir, and the most widely known, the Zohar. It would be extremely impossible to explain without drawings how the tree of life symbols actually look since so many of the texts differ on the numbers, path and even plants that the Sephot actually represent. It is a matter of which representation of the books and beliefs that the tree of life actually takes on that make up the life pathways for the drawings themselves. You would need to research deeper to know.
Christianity worships the cross. The followers of different religions each have symbols that they believe to be sacred. Kabbalah symbols, such as the tree of life symbol are no different. It takes on a life of its own to those who follow Kabbalah and truly subscribe to the representations of each of the branches that come from the words and inscriptions. The red string Kabbalah bracelet is more than a mere piece of jewelry. It is a representation of history and a way to understanding the path to creation for the Kabbalah follower to journey upon.
