Since the ancient Kabbalistic classic Sefer Yetzirah (Book of Creation) inspires much of the art that is shown on this site, I feel that is appropriate to present here my translation of this important work.  According to tradition, the ideas presented in Sefer Yetzirah are attributed to the patriarch Abraham.  He is indeed the only person mentioned in the text, at its conclusion.

There are many versions, commentaries and translations of Sefer Yetzirah, and this translation is not totally complete, some repetitious material has been left out.

The picture above, which I call the Unified Field Chart, depicts virtually everything discussed in Sefer Yetzirah. It is a map of Holy Names, metaphysical symbols, arrows pointing out relationships and hidden clues that spiritual travelers can use in their journeys through this text which teaches about the Thirty-Two Paths of Mystical Wisdom.

These Paths are defined in the very beginning of the text as the Ten Sefirot of Nothingness and the Twenty-two Foundation Letters.
