 Simply The Best Book I've Read So Far Concerning The Qabalah August 16, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is actually the first book I've read on the Qabalah of the Western Mystery Tradition, and I'm very much glad that I began here instead of somewhere else, such as Crowley. Like most of the glowing reviews before this one, I can't recommend this book enough to the curious occultist, and especially beginners. I've been practicing Qabalistic magic for about 3 months now, and this book more than any other (besides Modern Magick by Donald Michael Kraig) has facilitated more wisdom and understanding within me concerning the Qabalah than I ever could have hoped for.
Dion Fortune's writing style, whilst claimed to be 'out-dated' by many, was one of my favorite parts of this book. I don't agree with her on some things, such as her views on government being a necessary institution for mankind, and that women are more emotionally inclined and intellectually lacking, but despite the flaws that I personally find within the book, the overall knowledge and beauty within this book overwhelmingly make up for them.
Highly recommended. Don't wait to pick this one up. Do yourself a favor and get it right now.
THE Essential Study Guide for Western Qabalah July 11, 2008
There is no better place to start than this book if you want a solid foundation in Western Qabalah. Dion Fortune headed up her own magical order, and this book is written from the perspective of an experienced practitioner. Start here before you branch off with other writers.

There isn't much I can add to the other positive (and nicely detailed) reviews. This is simply one of, if not the best, books you can buy regarding the western tradition. Get this, then pick up Crowley's 777 for checking details, symbols, correspondences, etc. This is a strange area of study in that, on one hand, every piece of valid information you can get your hands on is helpful, but on the other hand it's very subjective when it comes down to the practice itself.
The only thing I can think to add is that A.O. Spare and Alan Moore are the only authors that have done as much to educate me as Fortune and Crowley.
Excellent, Excellent and more Excellent September 18, 2007

This is an excellent book. I enjoyed every inch of it. Going into the book I had no knowledge of the Qabalah. My knowledge has grown to what I consider to be more than a basic or general understanding. I own several books by Dion Fortune and I must say this is the best of them. It is very well written and also extremely practical in its approach.
Flawed edition of great book. August 23, 2007

First off, let me say that I love this book. My problem is with whatever nitwit or nitwits at Weiser who re-edited this book, who, among other things, ran amok with the spelling and grammar checker. The most glaring instance is how "ein soph aur" has been changed to "or, ein soph"! For an example of changes made to the substance of the text itself, see the earlier customer review: "New Edition is badly flawed." By Greg Wotton. This edition is useful for the updated material added to the back of the book, but for the main text I recommend keeping your earlier edition, or if you do not have one getting a used copy.
