Illuminating Letters: Paintings and Essays on the Kabbalah

by Elizabeth Fergus-Jean, John Fergus-Jean (Introduction), Christine Downing (Narrator)

Illuminating Paintings and Essays on the Kabbalah shares the mystical encounter that the artist/author, Elizabeth Fergus-Jean, had while painting the letters of the Hebrew alphabet. Elizabeth writes of her experience of hearing the letters 'speak' as she was painting them, which includes her creative process of these experiences. Included in the Kindle version are the resulting illuminated ‘Prayer Poems’ in color.

To further explore the mystery around this type of experience, the book contains essays by noted religious and depth psychology scholar Christine Downing and Judaica specialist Rabbi Mel Gottlieb. The essays take very personal yet ultimately converging paths in illuminating the powers of the Hebrew alphabet.
