A realistic view of the only complete Western mystical tradition. The author explains why Kabbalah may seem so complex and breaks it down into simple, easy-to-understand parts. She analyzes the different systems that currently exist, including Lurianic Tradition, the Golden Dawn, Magical, Alchemical, and Christian Kabbalah, the Kabbalah Center, and the reemerging Toledean Tradition. This book also addresses the fundamentals of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life diagram and the four worlds of Jacob's Ladder, as well as presenting traditional Kabbalistic knowledge about angels, astrology, and gematria, along with simple yet profoundly impactful exercises and meditations.
