Kabbala

Highly recommend. I've never written a book review here before but the nature of this particular volume impressed me so much that I had to praise it publicly. I've been studying this subject extensively and have not come accross a more concise and informative book than this.

A good overview of a complex subject. Starts with a quick history of the origins of the Tradition, and tracks it's diversification from its Jewish roots into its Christian and Hermetic variations. The main body of the text then follows the Hermetic Tradition, delving into a review of its major writings, important schools and orders, a study of the Tree Of Life and its Sephiroth and Pathways, the contemporary representation of Kabbalistic symbolism in the Tarot, and an examination of Good and Evil and the Left Hand Path from a Kabalistic perspective. Good Stuff!

Book is in excellent condition, written by historian with amusing spectrum of knowledge. It discuss into systematical details the lesser known history of Kabbalah

A sequel

Very good and in lighting book, especially for an introduction to such deep topics in the worlds faiths.

Great informational book, provides a nice basic coverage of the history, really good intro book. Though, there are quite a few typos which I find distracting... (I am not speaking to the translations as those can always come out a little weird)

Excellent book for one who is interested in learning about the Kabbala

Learn traditional kabbala first. The book is tainted. This can easily confuse someone who isn't already knowledgeable, and could cause the person to become reckless.Also, the cover is printed on glossy cardstock. The image looks washed out and faded. The graphic online makes it look foil gilt. It is not.Overall I'm not loving it.
