The Qabalah Workbook for Magicians: A Guide to the Sephiroth

by Anita Kraft, Lon Milo DuQuette (Foreword)

The Qabalah Workbook for Magicians is the perfect guide for the practicing magician who wants a greater understanding of Qabalah concepts and practice. Created by Anita Kraft, one of the world's most respected Qabalist teachers, this workbook teachers readers how to practice Qabalah using tarot, plants, stones, perfumes, the zodiac, and other magical sources. Kraft show how to work through the Sephiroth-- the ten attributes or emanations of Qabalah--for greater understanding and illumination. Drawing on occult works, including those of Israel Regardie, Aleister Crowley, Dion Fortune, and Lon Milo DuQuette, as well as dozens of Herbrew texts and manuscripts, the practicing magician can understand the Tree of Life and other Qabalistic concepts. Kraft has spent more than twenty years creating and perfecting a method by which "Qabalah is experiential as is mysticism and magick. If all you do is read, you are not a mystic, magician, or Qabalist. You must do!" writes Kraft.

This is a pretty good little book to help you get acquainted with the basic ideas of the Qabalah and the Sephiroth. It is not as in depth as one might want, but it is mostly designed to have you work with the energies of the Sephirotic bodies and create a relationship with them. I think used in conjunction with other good books on the Qabalah, like Dion Fortune's or Lon Milo DuQuette's this would be a great addition.

Initially, I really liked this book. I thought it was going to revolutionize and initiate myself into Qabalah.

But, in reading, it's mostly a how-to guide for setting up your altars for the different Sephiroth.

I do like that she asks you questions and gives you assignments. It keeps you on track. But if you're looking for a way to initiate yourself into this philosophy, I think this book is just an accessory.

I would recommend instead, Dion Fortunes 'Mystical Qabalah,' and Israel Regardies 'Tree of Life.'

A solid primer on the Qabalah and one that encourages you to explore the Sephiroth individually and assess their relationships. The book does not spoon feed you by any means-I would caution against this being the first book you read about Qabalah but if you have a broad strokes familiarity it provides some useful exercises and the chance to form your own correspondences.

If you are into magic using tarot, plants, stones, the zodiak and pure magic this would be the book for you. This is a teaching book. Shows how to practice for greater understanding of magic. An excellent workbook for the new practicing magician.

If this is the sort of hobby/interest you have then this book is great for learning and understanding about the world of magic. Pretty detailed and thorough. I am not personally into this sort of thing but I think it's a great workbook for the aspiring magician.
