5.0 out of 5 stars Best magical qabalah book for beginners, July 14, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Simplified Qabala Magic (Paperback)

In the past, I've found Jewish Kabbalah books long on rhetoric, long on history but short on practical application and personal development. Not being particular, I switched over to the magical tradition. The first (magical) book I tried reading--Gareth Knight's book, A Practical Guide to Qabalistic Symbolism--went right over my head. By then, I realized I was really a beginner: I didn't even know how to meditate or visualize...or anything.

Simplified (Qabala) Magic by Ted Andrews helped me out a great deal. Not only did it make the Tree of Life platable for a budding magus, it suppled me with simple meditation and visualization techniques, tips on candle-color-fragrance selection, and even showed me how to pronounce/intone the sephiroth God-names. Generally, I appreciate his brief and gentle approach.

This book, IMHO, is useful to those who want a straightforward, practical approach to the Tree of Life. Add to it, Andrew's More Simplified Magic (which covers the Tree's paths), one would then have all he initially needs to enter the mystical qabalah.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Remedy to The Confusion, July 18, 2005

By 

I. Dobbins "Real Wizard" (Edmonds, WA.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Simplified Qabala Magic (Paperback)

If you are a beginner student to the Qabala, Ted Andrews is the FIRST to actually simplify this subject to where even the most inept can understand. I've been studying the Qabala for three years prior to coming across this book. And at first I believed it would merely just cover items that I already have known. To my amazement, it actually clarified numerous things that Qabalists teach on a scholar level, to the laymen. The Qabala is extremely technical when written about. Primarily due to the fact that most authors on the subject are in fact Qabalists, and their intelligence is much higher than the average indivdual. Therefore, when an average person attempts to begin study, he/she is quickly discouraged merely from confusion. Ted does a magnificent job in simplfying this matter that cannot be found in any other book up to date. And for the advanced Qabala student, it can easily explain many complicated items that are extremely technical, the structure of the spiritual worlds etc,. This is an excellent study aid to possess.

5.0 out of 5 stars Written beautifully and easy to understand., June 13, 2003

By 

Daphnie L Bennett "Daphnie L Bennett" (Portland, Oregon USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Simplified Qabala Magic (Paperback)

I have read a few books on Qabala in the past, but this one is the one that has caught my attention. The explainations are in laymans terms so that even an adolescent could grasp the concepts. Ted Andrews' descriptions of the Sepheroths and thier Guardians is so beautiful it makes the reader feel as if they are taking a visual guided tour of the Tree of Life. If you wish to learn the basics of Qabalistic study and it's practices in Magick, buy this book. You won't regret it.
