"Garden of Pomegranates"A sixteenth-century tract, Pardis Rimonim, by Rabbi Moses Cordovero reflecting the later spirit of the Kabala. The title derives from the biblical Song of Songs: "Thy plants are an orchard of pomegranates." The pomegranate has been a favorite Eastern symbol of mystics in the context of the garden of the soul. The title A Garden of Pomegranates was also given to a modern outline of kabbalistic teachings by magician Israel Regardie. Sources:Cordovero, Moses ben Jacob.
