What is Path 32 on the Tree of Life? · Tav and The World

About this video

In this clip from Class 1 of Living the Tree of Life · Part 2: The Paths at Global Spiritual Studies, Evelynne Joffe, Director of the Institute of Esoteric Studies in Melbourne, opens the twenty-two Paths with Path 32, the first step up the Tree, from Malkuth, the physical world, to Yesod, the unconscious. The Sephirot, she explains, are the objective realities, and the paths are the subjective experiences of moving between them.

Evelynne names the Path's Hebrew letter, Tav, and its Tarot card, The World. Then she describes how we come to walk it: while Malkuth is working well we have no reason to leave our comfortable burrow, until an illness, a death, the loss of a job or a shock shakes our little box and we set out on a perilous journey. If we can sit in that unknown place, with help in understanding what is going on there, we come out of it much richer.

The full course climbs all twenty-two Paths across twenty recorded classes, from Path 32 to Path 11, with each Path's Hebrew letter, its text from the Sefer Yetzirah, its Tarot card and its myths, and two live Q&As with Evelynne for the 2026 Cohort. Class 2 continues to Path 31, Shin and Judgement.
