The Holy Kabbalah

Kabbalah is the occult and secret tradition in Judaism. One of the most ancient wisdoms its origins go far back into the distant past.<P>The Holy Kabbalah is a fascinating introduction to this world of mystery. Arthur Edward Waite was one of the few persons in the modern era to write a sensible and penetrating study of Kabbalah. Contemporary of such occultists as Eliphas Levi Mme. Blavatsky and Annie Besant Waite unraveled the history and traditions of what generations have whispered about as Hebrew witchcraft. The very term Kabbalah was enough to strike fear into the heart of an orthodox believer.<P>In his introduction Kenneth Rexroth writes: Kabbalism is the great poem of Judaism a tree of symbolic jewels showing forth the doctrine of the universe as the vesture of Deity of the community as the embodiment of Deity and of love as the acting of God in man. Nobody knew this better than A. E. Waite.
