Product Description

Product Description

The work of an old wanderer in Kabbalistic 'wasteland' -- Brother Steven Ashe. This is not an introductory kabbalistic text -- goodness knows there are enough of them in circulation. What follows is an initiate's journey through a particularly obscure and largely unexplored territory; told in the form of a fictional narrative. Well I suggest you cut to the chase now and start enjoying this latter day pilgrim's progress from life to the 'City of the Pyramids'. But for the perplexed I offer a few more words by way of my own personal prolegomena to Steven's eloquent parables and meditations. Whatever the literal meaning of the word 'Kabbalah' it actually denotes the magical tradition within Judaism. For various reasons this secret tradition has exerted a huge influence on Hermetic or Western magick for at least the last 500 years. Since, that is, the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492 by the authoritarian Christian monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella. The upshot of the destruction of Jewish centres of learning was the spread of Kabbalistic ideas throughout Europe and the publication of ideas that previously had only been transmitted by word of mouth. Many Kabbalistic ideas are very ancient and formulated in the last few centuries before the dawn of the common era. These important magical ideas were formed in the melting pot which including, Greek magic, gnosticism and concepts from Egypt, Persian and even India.

5.0 out of 5 stars Qabalah of 50 Gates, 4 Oct 2006
One of the most original commentators of The Qabalah, the author presents a mystical view of the progress of the initiate which will immediately appeal to anyone interested in the inner quest of the contemporary Golden Dawn school initiate. The text incorporates traditional Continental Hermetics of the Levi / Papus school, the mythos of the Hermetic Golden Dawn and is inclusive of a select cross section of Aleister Crowley's psycho-spiritual imagery. The book gives a detailed account of general Qabalistic lore (the foreword by Mogg Morgan is also one of those 'must read' for anyone struglling with the basics of the system known as the Qabalah) which serves as Part One of the Book. Part Two takes the form of a variety of symbolic parables rich in Qabalistic symbolism which are a cut above the standard 'by the book' renderings of what the Qabalist can expect to confront upon the mystical planes of the Tree of Life. There is also a fine bent to the highly imaginative stories involving characters that represent the three Aspects of the Self according to the Qabalah (the Nephesch, the Ruach and the Neschamah - the personality, the Intellect and the Spirit). The lore of the Qabalah is also juxtaposed with the genius inifinity mathematics of Georg Cantor and the philosophical dilemmas of Quantum Gravity Theory and Time / Space displacement. For those seeking a lot more depth from Qabalah books than the boring humdrum of those authors that seem only to be seeking to represent the same old theories, time and time again, this book is a breath of fresh air. The symbolism may be quite heavy for beginners, but this does not mean that there is any real confusion for novitiates. Rather, the work is like a many layered painting that can be appreciated more and more as the student learns more about the Qabalah. No other book on Qablah is quite like this.
