Traditional GD Kabbalah material only printed in this book
18 Mar 2002
Format:Hardcover
The key to this book's value is that it is a reference book of source material meant to live in the context of a Golden Dawn collection. It is packed with original material not to be found elsewhere in print, before or yet again as of the date of this review. While this book will be of interest to everyone who studies Kabbalah, it will be of especial interest to Golden Dawn practitioners and scholars who wish to deepen their knowledge of this particular "GD" approach to Kabbalah. Having said that, it is not a Primer but assumes a basic knowledge of the GD kabbalistic structure and metaphors available elsewhere, from which basis it is a deeper discussion and an enhancement -- even, in some cases, an intriguing challenge to what is elsewhere printed.
It will therefore be invaluable to anyone who has already picked up the basics of the Golden Dawn approach to Kabbalah who wants deeper information on a particular point, at which time they can study the original documents inside, which are minimally colored by commentary.
A technical example is the Chapter on the ShemHaMephorash, or the name in extension. Zalewski tells where the original Philosophus lecture comes from, and provides an interesting diagram from that original Paper that stands in contrast to the Leo centered ordering of the angels of the Name provided by Mathers, a scheme which is central to the GD understanding of the Tarot pip cards. This may be significant or not to different readers, but is invaluable food for thought to anyone seriously working out for themselves the true attributions of the Name in Extension to the Zodiac and the Tarot.
I hope this review has been helpful to those who encounter it -- As you can probably tell, I am not a professional reviewer but just an interested Golden Dawn practicer whose own copy of this book is Well Thumbed! If you are anything like me, you NEED this book!

Continues where Regardie's "Golden Dawn" leaves off
29 Nov 2006
Format:Paperback
This book is an excellent complement of Regardie's Golden Dawn and is useful for filling in the gaps regarding Kabbalistic subjects. Many G.D. inner order mysteries are revealed, not to be found anywhere else in one place. A broader view of the Qabalistic tradition is offered.

For people looking to expand their mind
12 Dec 2000
Format:Hardcover
This book offers an interesting view into the world of spirituality from a major religion. The interest in the Kabbalah has undoubtably arisen from the interest shown by many Hollywood stars, particularily Madonna. Traditionally, the Kabbalah is reserved for rabbis and people with a deep understanding of the religion, since it is very complex and requires a real religious understanding. Still, this being said, this book offers thoughtful, although not complete and some times unclear ideas. It does make a very good read for people who are open to new ideas and have a solid understanding of the Jewish faith.
