Also are you familir with the 12 Chakra System? You overlaid the chakras over the Tree of Life perfectly for me but I was told you can't really sync up the Chakras and Tree of Life, any thoughts?
Daath is the sephiroth that is not a sephiroth, it means knowledge and is located on the abyss before the supernals. It has an alternative name as the rainbow bridge, which in turn is related to the back of the tree or the qliphoth , sometimes called the tree of death! Qliphoth means shells or husks, it's the adverse or vices of the sephiroth. I relate it to the shadow self and the archetypes in the self service light. It has its place for the positive path as a tool of forgiving and healing those aspects of the psyche.
The chakras on the other hand, i mostly used my method from Will Partiff's work, it seems to make logical sense to me. The tree is a meta-system, so it can continue other philosophies as correspondences. Many Buddhist, Hindu terms can be related to the Sephiroth. I then make the assumption that the densities would some what relate in terms then to the hindu chakra's, but your right, in the traditional system you wouldn't have eastern Chakra's. However modern occultists since the 20th century have added to the tree over the years, so its really a living system. Its always adapting to new knowledge, its also said that the tree continues all knowledge, so based on this it should include the chakra's and densities. If it works for you great!
The 12 Chakra system, i have heard a little about it. I have heard they're 6 chakra's or perhaps 7 above the crown and 6 or 7 below the feet. However i tend to find that the normal system of 7 works just fine and that's without including any of the secondary chakras.
Here's an image of the tree and chakra's, as a kinda of east meets west thing going on.
