5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST for the Begginig student !, May 15, 2000

By	Zandryana (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Elements of the Qabalah (Elements of ...) (Paperback)

This book is one for serious students, while it explains a very complex text in a more simplified manner, it is not to be taken light heartedly. This book is straight forward & to the point. All contents should be read & re read untill fully understood by the individual reader. On the surface the teachings may seem harmless but as the book explains you can not make the Journey into Enlightenment without encountering & facing your own dark side. While you may choose when to open your eyes to spirituality you may NOT choose what you see. Take the exercises serioulsy, and listen closly to find exactly where your answers are coming from. This book is a CORNERSTONE, an absolute MUST READ ! VERY WELL WRITTEN ! Very helpful in the education process.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Read, January 11, 2004

By	AMB (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews

This is the first book I've ever read on the Qabalah. I found it very interesting, and easy to understand for someone who has no previous knowledge on the subject. A lot of the content was specific to the different spheres and their meanings. The thing I found most helpful was the exercises at the end of every chapter. They are simple, yet challenging, and they are written so people of different religions can use them for personal reflection.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good introduction, October 29, 2005

By	S. Craft (PA, US) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The Elements of the Qabalah is a decent introduction to the subject. It is very simplified and does leave some topics out, but it's a small book and should only be read by those who are completely unfamiliar with the Qabalah. It is really just a bare bones introduction, covering the basics. If you already have even a passing familiarity with the subject, then it's likely that you won't learn much from this book. Otherwise, if you're looking for a place to start, this would be a fine option.
