The Kabbalah Unveiled (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780486451374)

A subject of perennial study and the focus of a recent surge of popular interest, Kabbalah is an ancient Jewish doctrine of esoteric knowledge concerning God, creation, and nature. This essential guide was written by one of the most influential figures in modern occultism. And unlike lesser works, it focuses on the actual sacred texts to offer an objective, reliable interpretation.
The Kabbalah Unveiled explores three important books of the Zohar or Splendor: The Book of Concealed Mystery, the book of equilibrium or balance, concerning the central point, at which rest succeeds motion; The Greater Holy Assembly; and The Lesser Holy Assembly. Together, these three books examine the gradual development of the creative deity, and of creation itself.
Author S. L. MacGregor Mathers, a founder of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, presents his exegesis in a clear and scholarly style. Three fold-out charts enhance this volume's value as a tool for understanding the Kabbalah and enjoying the benefits of its teachings.
