The ancient key to life’s meaning made understandable to modern seekers. Maggy Whitehouse, whose workshop courses in Kabbalah and radio lectures reach millions, shows that this ancient spiritual practice belongs not to any one religion but to all humanity. This lucid and user-friendly interpretation of Kabbalah’s central symbols, the Tree of Life and Jacob’s Ladder, will help readers enhance their awareness of how the universe works and the meaning of their own lives within it. Whitehouse also shows how Kabbalah offers a path to spirituality that involves the idea of a Cosmic Being and a Divine plan outside the conventional teachings of religion, and ultimately a way to create happiness according to our inner being, instead of our ego’s wishes.
Rev. Maggy Whitehouse teaches Kabbalah, Bible Metaphysics, Soul Wisdom, Abundant Living and HeartWork: Spiritual Marketing in workshops across the UK, USA and Europe. She is the author of 16 published books including 'Total Kabbalah, ' 'From Credit Crunch to Pure Prosperity' and the best-selling 'Miracle Man' (O-Books), a novel about a modern-day messiah who is a judge on the US X Factor. Imagine a Simon Cowell figure as Christ!
Her other fiction and non-fiction books include practical and easy-to-understand guides to Kabbalah, the Spiritual Laws of Prosperity and the life and times of women in Biblical times.
Maggy trained as a journalist and has worked in print media, radio and television including the BBC World Service. She was the UK's second female breakfast DJ on local radio and an assistant producer on the fabled Pebble Mill at One.
She wrote her first book, China By Rail, in 1987 after spending six summers travelling around China - and met her first husband while filming two ITV documentaries in China a year later. Henry Barley died a year after their wedding in 1990 and it was the hospital chaplain who told Maggy that, as an atheist, Henry could not go to heaven, who inspired her to start investigating alternatives to her previous 'armchair Christianity.'
This search was intensified after she came out the winner in a brief encounter with an eight-foot barracuda off the Barrier Reef in Australia...
Maggy is a qualified teacher of healing in two disciplines and studied Kabbalah with Z'ev ben Shimon Halevi for sixteen years. She has written three Kabbalistic novels, 'The Book of Deborah,' ' Into the Kingdom' and 'Leaves of the Tree' about a fictional adopted sister of Jesus of Nazareth, and is an acknowledged expert both on the life and times of women in Biblical times and also in Kabbalistic interpretations of the New Testament.
She teaches seminars and workshops in the UK, USA and Europe and is just as happy speaking to Masons in Washington DC as to congregations of traditional and New Thought Churches and local holistic fairs. In 2011 she is teaching in the UK, USA, France, Czech Republic and Romania.
Maggy is consultant editor of the Midlands holistic magazine, The Tree of Life, and has taught workshops in Kabbalah, Prosperity Consciousness and Comparative Religion in the UK, USA, Europe, Russia and Israel since 1993. She was the founder-producer of the BBC's now-defunct spirituality website, which was morphed into the corporation's Religion & Ethics site.
In 2007 she was ordained into The Apostolic Church of the Risen Christ, an independent sacramental church. She is now visiting lecturer in Judaism and Kabbalah for the UK Interfaith Seminary.
Maggy lives in Birmingham, England, with her husband, Peter Dickinson.
