The
Mystical Qabalah by Dion Fortune Dion Fortune is considered one of the most important thinkers to emerge from the occult revival of the post 1890's in England. In 1919 she was initiated into the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, a magical society whose members included W. B. Yeats and Arthur Machen, among others. There she studied western magic, bringing to her a keen knowledge and understanding of psychology which she had previously studied at London University. When she left the Golden Dawn, she was a full fledged occultist, adept in the mysteries of the Western Tradition. The Qabalah, whose disciplines include the occult sciences of astrology and tarot, forms the basis of the Western Mystery Tradition. |

It is a system of mystical knowledge and spiritual development in the same
way that Yoga is the mystical system of the East. The Tree of Life—a diagram
consisting of ten circles connected by twenty-two "paths"—is the
heart of Qabalistic teaching. It is a cosmic diagram, the blueprint of the
universe and the human being, containing within itself a description of all
possible relationships and all phenomena.
The Mystical Qabalah is Dion Fortune's most famous book. It presents a thorough explanation of the Tree of Life and provides a key to the practical working of this system. The Mystical Qabalah by Dion Fortune. (Samuel Weiser) ISBN: 1578631505 |
