Sitra Achra (סיתרא אחרא) is Aramaic for "the other side" (the language in which the Zohar was written). Sitra Ahra is the opposite of the holy side.

In kabbalist traditions, it is used to refer to the forces of evil which underlie all of reality. The power of Sitra Achra derives largely from the sins of humans.
