This volume addresses the complex topic of the preeminent status of the divine feminine power
to be referred also as Female within the theosophical structures of many important Kabbalists
Sabbatean believers and Hasidic masters. This privileged status is part of a much broader
vision of the Female as stemming from a very high root within the divine world then She was
emanated and constitutes the tenth lower divine power and even in this lower state She is
sometime conceived of governing this world and as equal to the divine Male. Finally She is
conceived of as returning to Her original place in special moments the days of Sabbath the
Jewish Holidays or in the eschatological era. Her special dignity is sometime related to Her
being the telos of creation and as the first entity that emerged in the divine thought which
has been later on generated. In some cases an uroboric theosophy links the Female Malkhut
directly to the first divine power Keter. The author points to the possible impact of some of
the Kabbalistic discussions on conceptualizations of the feminine in the Renaissance period.
