Etz Chaim & Lurianic Kabbalah
Isaac Luria, recorded by Chaim Vital
Luria's system of the shattering of the vessels and the shells that formed from the fragments. The qliphoth as a ranked structure belong here rather than to the Zohar, which is three centuries earlier and does not set them out this way.

Kelipot = The Qliphoth | Ten shells | — | The husks that formed when the vessels shattered and could not hold the light. Each mirrors and inverts one sefirah. The Zohar, three centuries earlier, does not set them out as a ranked structure. |
