An Introduction to the Mystical Qabalah

by Alan Richardson

The Qabalah is one of the great foundations of Western esoteric and spiritual thought. It is an important tool in learning to use the intuition to explore the archetypal realms of divine life. The Mystical Qabalah is widely recognized as the most practical and authoritative guide to understanding and using the Qabalah. It explains its roots in Jewish mysticism, then demonstrates how this glyph the Tree of Life can be used to understand the emanations of the mind of God. The author, Dion Fortune, was one of the leading figures in the Western esoteric tradition during the first half of the twentieth century.

[Vincent Konrad · Rating 4 out of 5]

V clear and concise. dig his view on the whole magic thing -- it closely matches my own that magic etc is not real but it is symbolically useful and can effect the real world through its influence on one's inner state. This book has also provided me with a basis for a mystic reading of the teenage mutant ninja turtles.

An entire book on Kaballah and no mention that this ancient system is Jewish in origin. Interestingly, though, this is exactly the system of "magic" that Katherine Kurtz uses in her Deryni books.
