July 3rd: The Mystical Qabalah

This week we delve into Dion Fortune’s The Mystical QabalahI cringe to do it in some ways. I dislike her politics, and this is a thoroughly gentile take on a tradition with Jewish roots. But it was also my own first book on the topic, which helped me develop basic literacy in the Tree of Life and its symbolism. Kabbalah, tarot, astrology, and alchemical symbolism are not magic, per se. But knowing a bit about these systems increases our access to all kinds of magical discourse.

Please read PART II, chapters 14-20, pp.97-174.

Bonus for context: Chapter 6: ETS CHAYYIM, The Tree of Life, pp.34-36
