Kabbalah Tradition of Hidden Knowlede

Description

Part of an introductory series of Myth and Imagination? volumes published by Thames and Huson; a series of excellent, image-heavy slim volumes all written by well-known authorities in their field. In Halevis contribution to this series, he provides a solid introduction to Kabbalistic tradition, its history and current manifestations. The science of letter and numbers manipulation (gematria and notation) is used to illustrate Kabbalistic methodology. The bulk of the book is full-page illustrations. They are well-chosen, extending from the early classical period up to the present. Each image comes with a short explanation and many are referred to in the text. Halevi is a well respected contemporary teacher, often travelling the world lecturing and holding workshops. His continued orientation is developing and teaching an understanding of Kabbalah that has practical, daily application. An excellent primer.
