Gha'agsheblah

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gha'agsheblah is the Qliphoth corresponding to the sephirot Chesed, Lovingkindness. It is described as the disturber of all things, and the form of its demons are of black, cat-headed giants.

The Qliphoth are the shadows of the sephirot, the chaotic force that exists when the Sephirot is out of balance. Chesed is the Sephirot of Lovingkindness, that allows energy to flow into the universe. When this energy is not checked by the restraining power of Gevurah, however, then equilibrium is disturbed. Things are allowed to exist that should not. Dion Fortune calls this Qliphoth the Permitter of Destruction. It represents the forces who stand by and do nothing even when they see obvious evil and corruption. They are the forces of vested interests, unbridled conservatism, terrified of revolution. But the forces they represent upset the equilibrium, therefore the Lovingkindness of Chesed becomes Gha'agsheblah the Disturber.
