The Kabbalah

The book is about the Kabbalah (also Cabbala, Qabalah, etc.), its history and evolvement, its role in the modern world. Seen from the point of view of a non-Jewish person, who has however studied the subject for more than thirty years. Some personal experiences of the author are included, as well as the insights offered by other personalities, authors and researchers, including a number of quotes. The glyph known as the Tree of Life, which is pivotal to the Kabbalah, is examined in detail and compared to other symbols found in similar esoteric and religious-philosophical systems of the past and present. The author of the book has also made some in-debt studies of the Pythagorean sacred numerology, Theosophy, and the symbolism of the Tarot, on which subject he has also published a book. Included here are more than a hundred and twenty diagrams and other black and white illustrations.
