In the mythological writings of William Blake, Vala is an Emanation and the mate of Luvah, one of the four Zoas, who were created when Albion, the primordial man, was divided fourfold.
[2] In the beginning, Vala joined with Albion, the Eternal Man, and he impregnated her with Urizen, the first created form.
However, this leads to the two being divided, as Luvah recognizes that Vala is become more material, and Urizen pits them against each other.
This leads to Luvah's imprisonment within a furnace and his being melted down by Vala, turned into a fire, to form the material universe.
[3] During these events, Urizen causes both Los and Enitharmon to fall and be separated by offering them the ability to judge and condemn Vala and Luvah.
During the Final Judgment, Urizen lets go over his feud with Vala and Luvah, which restores him to his former glory.
After Albion is regenerated, Luvah and Vala are made servants of the restored Urizen.
Jerusalem's fall provokes Vala to claim that she is the triumphant beauty and embraces materialism along with statements that women are dominant.
