This book is great for those interested in "folk kabbalah". Many books touch upon kabbalistic magic but mention it only in passing. This book gives you some examples : amulets, evil eye protection, and letter mysticism ( from a magic perspective ). I have read other books about Kabbalah and magic. But they either blend it with other traditions or approch the matter from a hermetic point of view. This book does neither. Again...there a MANY books out there that are way better as far as giving you the basics of kabbalah. This book was NOT meant for that. I give it a high rating because it delivers on what it offers...a good taste of kabbalistic "folk magic". All of the illustrations make it great for the layman...it reminded me alot of the kabbalah decoder ( which would be a great companion to this book ).

The book is solidly written, and full of great illustrations and explanations. The author does a great job of providing a background in Jewish mysticism before jumping into Kabbalistic folk magic and "practical" kabbalah. The writing is very very approachable, the author writes in a very personal style, and you almost can't help but turn the page. The practical and practice elements are well covered, and the reader will feel very confident in the material in short time. If you have interest in the subject, this book belongs on your shelf.

This is simply the best written,best illustrated, and easy to read book on this subject. I have learned more from this book than any others on the kabbalah. The only book you'll ever need on this subject.
