Hod/Splendour and Netzach/Victory are up, so I thought it was time for a third Behind the Scenes (you can read catchup with the
first and the
second). Let me know if you have any thoughts or questions about Radiance so far - I really want to hear your feedback. While at the beginning of the project I was 5 weeks ahead of posting, with the tidal wave of work that hit me towards the end of the semester I ended up way behind. I'm now clawing ahead again but this means that there has never been a better time to give me feedback on where the story is going and what you want to see.
Netzach and Hod
These two sefirot are probably the hardest to pin down of any of the ten, and are not much discussed in the Zohar. My general impression of them is that they are like the sefirot above them (Chessed and Gevurah respectively) but more tangible, closer to the physical world. They are also almost always treated together rather than alone. That's why I decided to
almost combine these two sefirot into the same section of the novel. While each has its own verses, they only combine to 4 chapters, the same as the other sections.
