Literally: attraction, pull, magnetism
Usage & notes
Kashish is attraction — the magnetic pull of the beloved's beauty that draws the lover irresistibly, the gravity of a lovely face. It names beauty as a force, something that acts on the heart whether it wills or not. In a wider key kashish is the deep attraction at the heart of all love and even of creation — the pull of beauty on the soul, the draw of the Beloved on every loving thing, the magnetism by which like is drawn to like.
