Hod is described as being a force that breaks down energy into different, distinguishable forms, and it is associated with intellectuality, learning and ritual, as opposed to Netzach, Victory, which is the power of energy to overcome all barriers and limitations, and is associated with emotion and passion, music and dancing.

Our unconscious desires come from Netzach, and are given form in the symbolic realm by Hod

Hod is visualized on the left hip of Adam Kadmon and represents the left leg, left hip and left testes and is ultimately required for victory in life, because without its faculties of free will and ‘surrender’ the human being would not have the capacity to integrate Divine Will and free will. On a spiritual level, Hod facilitates the acknowledgment of a supreme power or intelligence which exerts authority over the finite self and the subsequent stepping aside of the rational mind in order to allow this power to permeate one’s consciousness in a creative and productive manner. By doing this, it encourages one to invite the kind of joy into one’s world that can only derive from a conscious awareness of the Supernal Light. Hod’s surrender is a prerequisite to the free flow of higher consciousness between the soul and the material world. Hod is the proactive motor for free will.
