The Truth About Cabala by David Godwin
The cabala is a system of mysticism originating in Judaism. It survives as a philosophy and as a way of viewing God and the universe. It is also seen as a key to mystical thinking outside the mainstream and to the practice of ceremonial magic. Because the cabala deals with archetypal energies, there is evidence that the subconscious mind understands even if the conscious mind does not - dreams often make use of cabalistic symbolism. This book is an introductory course in its mythical philosophy and use as a magical tool. It explores the origins of cabala, the Hebrew alphabet, the tree of life, the sephiroth, the four worlds, the paths, and the tarot and the cabala.
