I was a bit skeptical about buying this book. I live in Israel so lucky to me tzfat (safed) the holy city of Kabbalah study is not too far from me. I was talking to this Kabbalah artist there named David Friedman, an amazing person. Lucky for me after reading this book, David and I where on exactly the same page as to what the tree of life means, and how it can be used. I never knew much about the tree of life, and this is the only book I refered to about the meaning. According to what I learned and the conversations I had while in tzfat, showed me that everything written in this book holds true to the conventional outlook people have in tzfat about the tree of life. My favorite part about the book however, was the room it gave you to grow your own conclusions to the tree of life. The book mixes spirituality with psychology for in debt look at your subconscious. Although I myself am Jewish, my favorite part of the book is how it is not affiliated with Judaism and can be used by anyone interested in an ancient mystical healing. This is for anyone interested In spiritual conscious healing. The book main focus is on the tree of life

Little hard for me to objective on this one - I knew the author and liked him a lot. Still, a decent little introduction. The greatest book I know on the Qabalah is Meditations on the Tarot - which I've reviewed here:

I recently read "Introduction To The Kaballah Unveiled" by MacGregor Mathers, which if you've read it, you know it can be as clear as mud in some parts. I have had "Elements of The Qabalah" on my shelf for years and finally picked it up after reading the work of Mathers. It really cleared some items up for me that were somewhat confusing to me in the way they were presented. It is a beginners book to be sure, but it succeeds in getting across ideas necessary for further study. After each chapter there are exercises that will be valuable to the learner and that the learner can possibly carry on into his/her personal life. I can recommend this book as a good start to your study of the Qabalah, which is really, a lifelong endeavor.

This book is further out than astrology.

This book was my introduction to Kabbalah many years ago. It holds a special place in my heart as it started a lifelong learning.

An enjoyable book to read that exposed me to new thoughts and information that didn't go too far beyond my beginner's grasp. I plan to go back and practice some of the exercises.
