Hod: This is the Eighth Kingdom in the universe of the Qabala, located on the Pillar of Rigor in the Tree of Life. It is associated with the planet Mercury, which was named after the winged God who was thought to personify the hot planet as it raced so speedily around the Sun.

Hod is also one of the lowest Kingdoms within which spirits have access to the great Akasha - the incredible vault of the records of Time...
