Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sefer Yetzirah, Book of Formation, or Book of Creation is the title of the earliest extant book on Jewish esotericism, although some early commentators treated it as a treatise on mathematical and linguistic theory as opposed to Kabbalah. Yetzirah is more literally translated as "Formation"; the word Briah is used for "Creation". The book is traditionally ascribed to the patriarch Abraham, although others attribute its writing to Rabbi Akiva. Modern scholars have not reached consensus on the question of its origins. According to Rabbi Saadia Gaon, the objective of the book's author was to convey in writing from a Jewish perspective how the things of our universe came into existence. Translated from the Hebrew, with annotations by Knut Stenring. Includes the 32 paths of wisdom, their correspondence with the Hebrew alphabet and the Tarot symbols and with an introduction by Arthur Edward Waite., Book of Formation, or Book of Creation is the title of the earliest extant book on Jewish esotericism, although some early commentators treated it as a treatise on mathematical and linguistic theory as opposed to Kabbalah.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sepher Yetzirah: The Book of Formation and the Thirty Two Paths of Wisdom The Book of Formation, is not in any sense a narra tive of Creation, or a substitute Genesis, but it is a very ancient and instructive philosophical treatise upon one aspect of the origin of the universe and mankind; an aspect at once archaic and essentially Hebrew. The grouping of the processes of origin into an arrangement, at once alphabetic and numeral, is one only to be found in Semitic authors.

Book excerpt: The Sepher Yetzirah is a Hebrew mystical and metaphysical text of unknown authorship. Often ascribed to the patriarch Abraham or Rabbi Akiva, it is the foundational text in the canon of the Kabbalah. This edition was translated from Hebrew sources by the English coroner, ceremonial magician, theosophist and Freemason William Wynn Westcott, and published in 1893.The Sepher Yetzirah or "Book of Formation", is the oldest Rabbinical treatise of kabbalistic philosophy and metaphysics known to be extant, which Westcott sought to translate after a new interest in the subject in the West during the late-Victorian period. During the same period he sought to write an introduction work to the kabbalh in order to help students. During the translation Westcott sought to consult as many extant Hebrew editions as possible, along with mediaeval latin authorities on the kabbalah (Postellus, Pistorius, & Rittangelius). Furthermore he attached the additional texts "The Thirty-Two Paths" and "The Fifty Gates of Intelligence" to the work.
Download or read book The Book of Formation or Sepher Yetzirah written by A. E. Waite and published by Nicolas-Hays, Inc.. This book was released on 2004-06-01 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sepher Yetzirah, or Book of Formation, although very short, is probably the most important of the Kabalistic texts. Its secrets were passed on in the Hebrew oral tradition until it was written down in the 2nd century b.c.e. It lays out the principles of Kabalistic cosmology and the Tree of Life, how humankind (the microcosm) reflects the Divine (the macrocosm). It also sets forth the Hebrew doctrine of Logos--the creation of the world in numbers, letters, and sound. As such, it is a seminal text for all serious magicians. Stenring has made a word-for-word translation from several texts, choosing only those parts which he believed to be authentic. He reveals the text's secrets in his diagrams, tables, and extensive notes. His "Master Key to the Theoretical and Practical Kabala" is a diagram of the correspondences between the English and Hebrew alphabets and is not found in other translations of the Sepher Yetzirah. Also unique in this translation is Stenring's assignment of certain tarot cards to the paths on the Tree of Life. Several authors have done this before, but Stenring asserts that he arrived at his correspondences on his own. The introduction by Waite surveys the historical background of the Sepher Yetzirah translations and the import of this foundational Kabbalistic text.

This book was released on 2016-09-03 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "Sepher Yetzirah," or "Book of Formation," is perhaps the oldest philosophical treatise which is yet extant in the Hebrew language. The great interest which has been evinced of late years in the Hebrew Kabalah, and the modes of thought and doctrine allied to it, has induced me to translate this volume from the original Hebrew texts, and to collate with them the Latin versions of mediaeval authorities. Three important books of the "Zohar," or "Splendour," which is the great storehouse of Kabalistic teaching, have been for the first time translated into English by that skilful and erudite Kabalist, my fellow student in occult science, MacGregor Mathers, and the "Sepher Yetzirah" in an English translation is almost a necessary companion to these even more abstruse disquisitions: the two books indeed mutually explain each other.

This book was released on 2024-09-22 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faithful reissue of the Kabbalistic classic “Sepher Yetzirah” by the famous occultist William Wynn Westcott from 1893. This edition includes: The 32 Paths of Wisdom, The 50 Gates of Understanding, and the original illustrations by Westcott himself. Sepher Yetzirah, The Book of Formation – A Classic of Occultism The Sepher Yetzirah, Book of Formation or Creation, is one of the oldest and most enigmatic texts of Jewish Kabbalah, considered by many to be the cornerstone of occultism and magic. Traditionally attributed to the patriarch Abraham, this text offers a profound reflection on the creation of the universe through divine language, using the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet and the 10 sephirot or principles of existence. The Sepher Yetzirah by William Wynn Westcott William Wynn Westcott's version of the "Sepher Yetzirah" is especially important because it was one of the first English translations offered with a detailed commentary from an esoteric perspective, providing a vision from the realm of occultism, outside of more traditional Judaism. Westcott's translations of the Sepher Yetzirah are of fundamental interest to occultists and those interested in esoteric and magical Kabbalah. Additionally, this edition includes the texts “The 50 Gates of Understanding,” “The 32 Paths of Wisdom,” the “Supplement to Chapters IV and V,” notes, comments, as well as Westcott's illustrations. One of the Most Important Kabbalah Books - The Book of Creation According to historians, the origin of the Sepher Yetzirah is unknown, and its origins are so ancient that they have been lost to antiquity. It is believed to have been created from both the written and oral traditions (Mishnah), leading to the conclusion that the existing ancient versions were compiled around the year 200 CE. The Sepher Yetzirah in English Westcott's work is crucial because it opened the doors of the "Sepher Yetzirah" to a broader audience outside the traditional Jewish sphere, offering an essential guide for those seeking to understand reality, that is: the relationship between the microcosm of the human being and the macrocosm of the universe. Westcott's edition provides a fascinating approach for those interested in esoteric and less religious and closed spiritual pursuits, allowing the complex Kabbalistic concepts to be understood and applied in more mystical and spiritual contexts. The "Sepher Yetzirah" is a fundamental text for those interested in Kabbalah and occultism because it offers an explanation of the divine creative process that reveals the mystical structure of the universe. Through the combination of letters and numbers, this book becomes a key that unlocks the mysteries of creation, time, and space, providing a foundation for deep meditation and spiritual pursuit. Westcott's edition stands out for its clarity and its ability to connect traditional Kabbalistic teachings with the esoteric currents of his time, allowing the "Sepher Yetzirah" to remain a relevant and fascinating text for students of Kabbalah, occultism, and mysticism to this day. The Sepher Yetzirah is a work of great historical and cultural value, standing out as a practical guide for meditation, understanding, and spiritual introspection.
Download or read book The Book of Concealed Mystery written by Continuum, and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2000-01-09 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book of the key text of the Kabbalah, a work known as the Zohar ("Splendour"). The Zohar is a commentary on the Torah and although it is sometimes ascribed to a second-century rabbi, Simon Bar-Yochai, the form in which it is most widely known originates with Moses of Leon, a native of Granada, who died in 1305.The kabbalists believe that the undefinable origin of all things is Ein Sof - the cause of causes, the infinite, that which underlies everything. The universe emanates from the divine in successive layers called esefiroti. Everything exists in God, but God extends infinitely beyond existence. All we know and are is linked together, pervaded and maintained by the divine. According to this work, the light of God must be concealed in order to be revealed to creation. Even though the kabbalists believe that ultimately Ein Sof is beyond expression or understanding, the contemplation of God's presence in all things causes our thoughts to be purified.
