Kabbala

by Ted Balestreri

“Kabbala” is an introductory review of the history and traditional uses of the three major versions of the Jewish, Christian, and Hermetic Qabalah. It includes an in-depth study of the components of the three forms of the Tree, the Geronese or Jewish Tree. Kircher’s Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge, or what is often called the Left-Hand Path Tree. The major components include the study of the 10 Sephiroth, the various uses and presentation of the 32 Paths, the Tarot cards associated with the Paths and the Hebrew Letters and their meanings as it pertains to the Kabbalah. Other topics include the historic teachers and reformers of the Trees, and the many major organizations that center their teachings around the Tree from the Golden Dawn to The Dragon Rouge.

I'll be short with my review because I don't want other people to fall into this trap:
typos, typos, typos everywhere. There is not a single page where there is not, at least, a typo. Majority of pages you can find between 3 to 5. Some pages are a minefield and can reach up to 10 or more. It messes up with your brain. Sometimes an author/philosophy/book is spelled up to three different times within the same paragraph. Bottom line: no one read this, or edited, let alone the author himself.
I could have overlooked all this if I had at least learned something from the book, but after reading this, I still don't know what the Kabbala is for. This book is just a list of historical facts and about the Tarot.
