The Four Trees

The trees of the four chapters titled Tree.

Tree IV: Neither Life or Deathch. 26, 30

The Fool's single tree in the green realm; cut down by Samson. Its fall brings “the curse of the joker” (31).

Tree III: Both Life and Deathch. 31

The hangman's tree in the graveyard, “always withering without loss,” the form of transformation.

Tree II: Deathch. 19, 22, 32

A tree of death under a crimson shroud on the mountain (19). In Kether's hallway, when Satan hangs from the tree, “the tree is no longer life, but death” (22). Chapter 32 bears its name.

Tree I: Lifech. 19, 22, 33

Through the portal, “a tree emanating life like a fountain, glowing like the sun from its heart” (19). A tree grows violently at the end of Kether's hallway, and Antony wrestles Satan “under the tree of life” (22). Chapter 33 bears its name.

Note: Trees I and II are seen in implied spiritual form in 19 and 22.
