‘An Introduction to the Study of the Kabalah’ is a book by William Wynn Westcott, first published in 1910. A concise primer drawn from lectures he delivered to Hermetic students in 1888, it lays out the main contours of Kabbalah for Western readers—touching on the Sephiroth, the Thirty-Two Paths, classic sources such as the Sepher Yetzirah and Zohar, and the broad distinction between theoretical and practical strands. Written by a co-founder of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, it helped popularise Kabbalistic ideas within English-speaking occult circles and remains a useful doorway into the late-Victorian occult revival’s approach to Jewish mysticism.
