The Sacred Magic of the Qabbalah

About this book

The Hebrew alphabet becomes a set of keys to creation in Manly P. Hall's account of ceremonial Qabalah. Letters, numbers and divine names are assigned places in an immense symbolic scheme.

The Sacred Magic of the Qabbalah draws on Western esoteric adaptations of Jewish mystical ideas. Hall explains how occultists treated language and number as tools for contemplating the universe and the individual soul. His presentation belongs to that later Western tradition and should not be confused with a survey of Jewish Kabbalah as a whole. The diagrams and correspondences show why this system became so influential in modern magical orders.
