New Edition is badly flawed.,
By Greg Wotton (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mystical Qabalah (Paperback)
When examining this new edition in order to consider it as a course text I found several problems within the edition itself. At first I thought that, maybe, it had been a very long time since I'd read it as some things didn't seem as clear as I'd remembered them. Upon comparison to the '84-'89 edition I found the source of the problem, the text has not been faithfully reproduced. For example the following two quotes are from the end of Chapter 2, Paragraph 4.2001 Edition: "Nor am I impressed by a dedication to the higher life which by peculiarities of clothing and bearing and by the manner of cutting, or omitting to cut, the hair." 1984 Edition: "Nor am I impressed by a dedication to the higher life which manifests itself by peculiarities of clothing and bearing and by the manner of cutting, or omitting to cut, the hair." This is only a single example and I have yet to find an entire chapter devoid of such mistakes, some of them leaving out entire sentences. The Mystical Qabalah is, without a doubt, one of the best books on Qabalah ever written. It is a shame that Weiser, a formally respected publisher, could make such a mess of it. -Greg Wotton

This review is from: Mystical Qabalah (Paperback)
This book is very well written and is inspiring from begining to end. The authorpainstakingly covers the wide range of thought and practice of qabalah in the mystical sense and makes it practical. She never omits to mention the tree of life and it's role in every topic that is covered, every part or station of tree is aproched in a way that only an adept person could.

The best work on the qubalah and the most definitive...,
By Josh Clayton "Clayton" (Inglewood, CA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mystical Qabalah (Paperback)
Sure Ophiel's Qabala book is good, Ted Andrews stuff is all right. But if you want the knowledge that rooted it all and even influenced them: come to Dion Fortune's "Mystical Qabalah". It is the most powerful and definitive work on the Qabalah I've ever read. I ordered the original from Builders of the Adytum via Amazon.com and the original is the best, all the other stuff in the new version makes it a little too voluminous. But still, I tell you, it is the best in every way. When I read it, I understood all the forms of magic and how they work at their core, especially tarot, meditation, spells, et cetera and their hermetic core. It helped me with the why's and whats' of it all. Especially in pathworking. Happy reading.Captain Josh.
