Mystical Qabalah

Dione Fortune first published The Mystical Qabbalah in 1935. She was a member of the prestigous occult society, The Golden Dawn, and so many of the approaches this book takes draw from that order's conclusions. Aleister Crowley's ideas permeate this book as well. This book is written with a deeply prosaic style and study upon the text reveals layers of meaning. Considering the book was written over 60 years ago by a exceptional woman, in an age where women were far from being equal, I candidly recomend this title.

A must for those interested in learning the ancient and mystical tradition of Kabbalah as shown in its primary symbol - the Tree of Life. The serious student will find it an invaluable reference and resource. Written by one of the great women thinkers from the original Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the founder of the Society of Light.

My copy of Dion Fortunes 'Mystical Qabalah'has become worn from years of use, and stained various colors from the different highlighters I have used each time I read it to mark out new revelations from it's pages. This book is more than a fantastic and definitive manifesto of the modern Qabalah (which it is) it is also a stand-alone philosophical work in itself. It awoke me in many ways. Seldom would I spend the time to actually write a review for any book I've read, but this one is different... I would actually recommend that *anyone* interested in the occult buy, steal, or make manifest this book into your reality...
