The Mystery Of Shekinah And The Kabalah

by Arthur Edward Waite

The Mystery Of Shekinah And The Kabalah by Arthur Edward Waite is a comprehensive exploration of the ancient Jewish mystical tradition of Kabbalah and its central concept of the Shekinah, the divine feminine presence of God. Waite delves into the history and origins of Kabbalah, tracing its roots back to the early Jewish mystics and the ancient wisdom traditions of the Middle East. He explores the various schools of Kabbalah, their teachings and practices, and the role of the Shekinah in their spiritual practices. Throughout the book, Waite draws on a wide range of sources, including the Zohar, the primary text of Kabbalah, as well as other mystical and esoteric writings. He examines the symbolism and metaphysics of Kabbalah, including the Tree of Life, the Sephiroth, and the Four Worlds. Waite also explores the relationship between Kabbalah and other mystical traditions, such as Christian mysticism and Hermeticism, and the influence of Kabbalah on modern esoteric and occult movements. Written in Waite's characteristic scholarly style, The Mystery Of Shekinah And The Kabalah is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and teachings of this ancient mystical tradition.THIS 52 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE Secret Doctrine in Israel a Study of the Zohar and its Connections, by Arthur Edward Waite.

About the author

Arthur Edward Waite was a scholarly mystic who wrote extensively on occult and esoteric matters, and was the co-creator of the Rider-Waite Tarot deck. As his biographer, R.A. Gilbert described him, "Waite's name has survived because he was the first to attempt a systematic study of the history of western occultism viewed as a spiritual tradition rather than as aspects of proto-science or as the pathology of religion."
