An Introduction to the Study of the Kabalah
Description
An Introduction to the Study of the Kabalah is a book by William Wynn Westcott, first published in 1910. Drawn from lectures delivered to Hermetic students in 1888, this concise primer sets out the main outlines of Kabbalah for Western readers.
Westcott touches on the Sephiroth, the Thirty-Two Paths, and classic sources such as the Sepher Yetzirah and the Zohar, while also outlining the distinction between theoretical and practical strands of Kabbalistic study.
Written by a co-founder of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the book played an important role in popularising Kabbalistic ideas within English-speaking occult circles. It remains a useful doorway into the late-Victorian occult revival’s approach to Jewish mysticism.
