Product Description

Craig Hickman, Wisdom of the Earth website

"Judith Laura guides the gentle reader through a personal voyage of meditation and reawakening. Her vision of the ancient traditions of Kabbalah are guided by a deep knowledge of its ancient ways; yet she begins to explore in this book a new path, a new way out of the male-centric vision that has guided and shaped the Kabbalistic traditions for all too long. There is more in this book to contemplate: a history of Kabbalah from ancient to modern adaptations within the modern occult group known as the Golden Dawn; as well as her own unique re-visioning of this tradition... Plus a look at the history of modern quantum physics as well. Her vision is guided by an egalitarian view of both life and the mysteries of existence." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.


Elizabeth Barrette, Moonlight and Magick!

"For those of you who, like me, enjoy exploring the overlap between science and magic, this book will be a big hit. . .The restructuring makes sense--the author spells out her conclusions quite clearly--and this brings Kabbalah within reach of women who would otherwise ignore it. The adjustment may also appeal to men who prefer a good gender balance in their magical workings." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars More than I expected, Dec 26 2002
By staranise (austin, tx USA) - See all my reviews
I admit it. I"m a snob when it comes to books on Kabbalah and the spiritual side of quantum physics. So many authors writing about Kabbalah and the feminine divine are spouting ideas that traditional kabbalists would balk at, and present them right alongside unsound pop science, to boot. Oy vey, indeed.

Yet this book makes a delightful exception. I bought this book assuming that I wouldn't like it, yet I was drawn to her premise and wanted to give the book a chance. I"m very glad that I did. Her treatment of Kabbalah very obviously stems from a study in Traditional Kabbalah, which for me indicates scholarship, dediation, and true desire to help seekers understand the subject matter. It would have been easy for Ms. Laura to use entirely hermetic sources and views in her treatment of Kabbalah, but instead she teaches from the source, from the heart of Kabbalism, and for that alone, I applaud her.

I did have a few issues with some of her theories, most notably her feminization of the sephira Chokmah. I feel that this is a violation of the most baisc ideas of traditional Kabbalah, and while I understand why she did this and why she feels justified in doing so, this sat wrong with me. But it is the only major beef I have with this work.

I reserve my 5 star ratings for books that in some way change my world. This book didn't quite do that, but only because my own studies of Kabbalah have advanced beyond the level of study this book intended. Had I read it several years ago, it very well may have changed my world. As it is, it is a sound, well researched, opinionated and interesting look at Kabbalah through the lenses of feminist spirituality. Job well done.
