Thirty-two paths of Wisdom: Key to the Hermetic Qabalah: Commentary on the Shining Paths of the Sepher Yetzirah and the Paths of Evil (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781068271519)

Here is an introduction to the Qabalah inclusive of the Hebraic tradition, as well as the modern Hermetic tradition with its systems of correspondences. It features a new commentary on the Thirty-two paths of Wisdom from the most important Qabalistic source work, The Sepher Yetzirah or Book of Formation. 'The Paths of Evil' concerns the Qliphoth of the first ten paths and those corresponding to the Zodiac. The last section, 'The Tunnels of Set', is a critical reappraisal of Kenneth Grant's Nightside of Eden Part Two, revealing how Aleister Crowley and then Grant and others worked to invert symbolism, effectively removing completely all spiritual possibilities for those that would follow them. By placing this in the context of the neo-spiritualist and postmodern occult movement it is shown how the decline and intellectual collapse of civilisation towards the final dissolution of our world is being supernaturally accelerated.
