Malkuth

Malkuth (/mɑːlˈkuːθ/; Hebrew: מַלְכוּת, romanized: Malḵūṯ [malχuːθ] "kingdom"; Ashkenazi: Malkhus [malxus]), Malkhut, Malkhuth, or Malchus, is the tenth of the sefirot in the Kabbalistic Tree of Life.

And the Oral Law is the source of the spirit of every living being, as the verse states: "Let the earth bring forth living creatures, each according to its own kind" In the Zohar, an important Kabbalistic text from late al-Andalus, Malkuth sits at the bottom of the Tree of Life below Yesod and "governs the simple fact of existence in the physical world"; it is also known as Shekhinah.

The lower sefirot, Malkhut, Yesod, Hod, and Nezah, constitute the most physical dimension of life, the nefesh.

Even though Malkuth is the emanation "furthest" from the Divine Source, it is still on the Tree of Life and therefore has its own unique spiritual qualities.

In the modern set of playing cards, Malkuth is related to the Suit of Diamonds' symbolizing material wealth, or the treasures found in the physical world.

Symbols associated with this sphere are a Bride (a young woman on a throne with a veil over her face) and a double cubed altar.
