The Holy Kabbalah

The Holy Kabbalah is a comprehensive and authoritative guide to the mystical teachings of the Kabbalah, written by the renowned occultist and scholar Arthur Edward Waite. This book delves into the esoteric and symbolic aspects of Jewish mysticism, exploring the origins of the Kabbalah, its major themes, and its relationship to other mystical traditions. Waite provides a detailed analysis of the Sephiroth, the ten emanations or attributes of God that form the basis of Kabbalistic thought, as well as the Tree of Life, a symbolic representation of the Sephiroth and their interrelationships. He also explores the concept of the Divine Name, the use of magic and ritual in Kabbalistic practice, and the role of the Kabbalah in the development of Western occultism.The Holy Kabbalah is a complex and challenging work, requiring a deep understanding of Jewish mysticism, but it is also a rich and rewarding source of spiritual insight and inspiration. Waite's clear and insightful writing style, combined with his extensive knowledge of the subject matter, makes this book an essential resource for anyone interested in the mystical traditions of Judaism and the Western esoteric tradition.Analysis of contents: post-Christian literature of the Jews; source and authority of the Kabbalah and the age of the chief texts; written word of Kabbalism, first period; written word of Kabbalism, second period; doctrinal content of the Kabbalah in respect of God and the universe; hierarchies of spiritual being; ways of God with man; higher secret doctrine; written word of Kabbalism, third period; some Christian students of the Kabbalah; the Kabbalah and other channels of secret tradition; final considerations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
