My personal favorite occultist of all time. You'll notice that people either hate or love him. There will always be occult snobs, but they'll never touch the truth in the manner this man did.
Together with Dion Fortune's "Mystical Qaballah" and Israel Regardie's "Middle Pillar" a student has the complete picture to begin their study of this subject.
The "Caballa" system didn't originate in Jewish thought and it's refreshing to see the Norse angle appreciated.
Thanks Ophiel.
The chapter on the "history of Caballa" is stupid, irritating and WRONG. It is NOT conected with Norse or voodoo gods, it originates in Jewish thought!
Ophiel seems to disagree with all the more traditional thinkers on this subject including Dion Fortune and Regardie.
What this book demonstrates is the decline in this subject over the last century. Regardie took risks to ensure the sacred knowledge lasted beyond the demise of the Golden Dawn Society, Fortune used the knowledge to defend her country, Orphiel debases and cheapens the knowledge while instructing people in how to "get what they want"
There is no respect in this book
It WAS written by a crackhead.
