Description

A Practical Guide to Qabalistic Symbolism by Gareth Knight is a comprehensive exploration of the Qabalah and its symbolism. This book delves into the mystical system of relationships among symbols, revealing how the Tree of Life can be used to access the hidden reaches of the mind. Knight demonstrates the Qabalah's applicability to various mystical traditions and religious beliefs, including Christian mysticism, Greek, Egyptian, and Celtic mythologies. The book also examines the history of tarot design and the systems of correspondence with the Tree of Life. The book is presented in two parts, with the first section comparing the Western Mystery Tradition with the Eastern system of yoga, analyzing the Tree of Life in full detail, and describing the practical application and theories of Qabalistic symbolism. The second part provides a comprehensive analysis of the twenty-two 'Paths of Concealed Glory' that join the Spheres of the Tree of Life.
