The Mystical Qabalah
Description
Violet Mary Firth Evans, derived her pen-name 'Dion Fortune' from the Latin of her family motto 'Deo, non fortuna' ('by God, not fate'). An inspired occultist, she worked with such luminaries of the esoteric world as Theodore Moriarty and MacGregor Matthers before founding her own mystical/magical organization 'The Fraternity (now Society) of the Inner Light'. 'The Mystical Qabalah' is Dion Fortune's clear, concise introduction to the profound mysteries of the many-layered glyph known as the Otz Chiim, or Tree of Life. Widely and deservedly regarded as an occult classic, the book explores all aspects of the Hermetic Qabalah, focusing on the relation and correspondences between the Ten Holy Sephiroth on the three pillars, and their connection with the twenty-two paths of subjective consciousness. The Tarot's and Astrology's links to the glyph are likewise considered in detail. The Mystical Qabalah is an invaluable primer for understanding the inner workings of The Tree, a book that gives up additional layers of meaning the more times it is read. An invaluable key for novice and initiate alike.

Great for beginners
Loved this book, it's explained well. As I'm new to the Qabalah it's great for beginners.

32 good reasons to give it 5 stars
Not for the feint hearted but I guess if you were feint of heart you would not be considering it :-)A book which brings some form of structure to one of THE most complicated of subjects known (and to so many; still quite unknown).I tick the 5 stars box as it is 'A Truly Wonderful and Enlightening Read' but one is unwise to judge its value after only the first immersion - more visits to its text will undoubtedly uncover so much more - sometimes it is necessary to look twice in order to see once32 good reasons to give it 5 stars

The best book an Qabalah
Even after nearly 100 years this is still the best book for learning how to understand and use the Qabalah.

Classic workbook
In-depth and very worthy study of the subject. Gives a wonderful insight to this vast subject and should be in all occultist's library's.

Typo s galor e
The rating isn't for the content but the amount of typos...shame on the publishers for this, there are typos in nearly every sentence that distract the reader from getting to grips with a subject that demands full attention
User
Severe study of the sephiroth
An in depth look at the tree of life and all Sephiroth, a neccesary under taking for any aspiring occultist.

Fantastic book for novices regarding the "Tree of Life"
Fantastic book for novices regarding the "Tree of Life". Explains in an easy to understand style but also in such a way as to leave you wanting to learn more. Great for any beginner looking to delve into Qabalah. 5 Stars

Much better than expected
It's a quick read and a small book. But it steps outside traditional qabbala books. I actually learned a lot. I been reading Occult literature for about 45 years and I got something out of it. It's a fun read and the author writes in an entertaining fashion. I liked it.

Obra-mestra total é absoluta.
Um marco. Uma maneira definitiva de encontrarmos o fio que nos guiará no labirinto da vida. Numa série de aspectos, com este livro deixamos de podermos dizer que não sabíamos, o que só nos aumenta a responsabilidade.
