The Zohar’s Kabbalah Elements Inscribed Through the Feminine in <em>All the Stones of the Wall</em> by Laureano Albán

Abstract

Seven poems of All the Stones of the Wall, of the Costa Rican Laureano Albán, are analyzed in this paper. This poetry book would be theoretically reasoned as result from the interpretations-writings-revelations of the Tanakh, Zohar’s Kabbalah update and, thus, reflex of the sephirot. The poems are methodologically classified according to sephirot and interpreted in connection with Kabbalistic significance of these emanations. The studied poems are those in which the lyrical subject transfers light from the sephirot malkuth, iesod, hod, tiferet and bina via the female figures of the weavers, the Torah, the beloved or spiritual sister, the pilgrim and the mother. These materialize the archetypes of mother and anima. They equally evoke the Jewish myths of the Šejina, Genesis, Paradise and Messiah.
