Synopsis

It has been said that the Kabbalah is at the heart of the Western Esoteric Tradition. You'll find the key to a deeper, more intuitive understanding of this ancient mystical system in Chic and Sandra Tabatha Cicero's Experiencing the Kabbalah.

This book is a comprehensive introduction to the Tree of Life and its relation to the Kabbalah. The Tree is the central glyph or figure that lies at the heart of much of Kabbalistic tradition. If you are a beginner, this is an excellent way to start your studies. If you are already studying the Kabbalah, this will help complete your knowledge of this subject.

Experiencing the Kabbalah emphasizes learning basic Kabbalistic concepts through personal, hands-on experience. Several exercises are provided that will help you to grasp the Kabbalistic wisdom on a deeper level than merely memorizing lists of correspondences.

The main focus of this book is a ritual drama called the Tree Walk. By performing the Tree Walk, you will experience the meaning and correspondences of the various parts of the Tree of Life in an exciting and interactive way. Using this system, the meaning of all the parts of the Tree of Life becomes clear and you become open to using the Kabbalah and its spiritual principles in everyday life.

This book is a valuable resource for anyone who is studying the Kabbalah or is thinking about doing so. It is ideal for ceremonial magicians, Pagans, Wiccans, Tarot enthusiasts, and astrologers.

About this title

Review

Kabbalah, a spiritual system grounded in symmetry and logic, is rarely addressed in a format that is suitable for beginners. Experiencing the Kabbalah goes against the trend, however, by presenting both historical and practical information on the Kabbalah that focuses on experiencing this ancient spiritual system rather than just reading about it. Chic and Sandra Tabatha Cicero accomplish this through a sort of ritual drama that they call "Walking the Tree of Life." It characterizes each Sephiroth (different aspects of the divine) of the Kabbalah as a person, from the stable Malkuth to the enigmatic Kether, granting readers a fuller understanding of the Sephiroth and the paths between them. Experiencing the Kabbalah is an innovative guide for beginners as well as informative reading for adept practitioners.
