Boaz, in biblical lore, is the left pillar (with Jachim
on the right) in the Temple of Solomon. It is best known for its use in Masonic
rites, and it is also equivalent to the left pillar on the kabbalistic Tree
of Life, severity.
In
Kabbalistic writings, Boaz represents the female polarity of the universe, and
the qualities of darkness, passivity, receptivity, and silence.
The pillars are similar in concept to the Eastern Yin
Yang.
