珂特(希伯來語:כֶּתֶר,羅馬化:Keṯer,直译:「冠冕」、ⓘ)是卡巴拉生命树中的十个质点(Sefirot)之首。它象征着神圣的意志,以及源自“Ein Sof”(即“无限之源”)的那股最初的创生冲动。它代表着纯粹的意识,其境界超乎人类的理解范畴,因此常被称为“无”或“隐秘之光”。“珂特”与神的名字“我是自有永有的”(אֶהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה,"Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh)紧密相联,即神在燃烧的荆棘丛中向摩西所启示的话句[1];此外,“珂特”还体现了绝对的慈悲与谦卑这两种特质。其名称本意即为“冠冕”,在诠释上,它既被视为十个质点中居于“至高之位”者,亦被视为象征其“君权王威”的“王冠”本身。
“珂特”位于生命之树的顶端,其位置在右侧的“祜谟”与左侧的“裨纳”之上且居于二者之间,同时也凌驾于“谛斐丽”(Tiferet)之上。在图解中,“珂特”通常被描绘为拥有三条主要路径:一条通往“祜谟”,另一条通往“裨纳”,第三条则通往“谛斐丽”。这一位置布局突显了珂特作为源头所扮演的角色,即无论是“智慧”(Chokmah)还是“理解”(Binah)皆由此处流溢而出;同时也强调了它与“美”及“和谐”(Tiferet)之间紧密的关联,从而促进了神圣能量在各个质点之间的顺畅流动。
