Book excerpt: "In thirty-two mysterious paths of wisdom did the Lord write, the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel, the Living Elohim, and King of the Universe, the Almighty, Merciful, and Gracious God; He is great and exalted and eternally dwelling in the Height, His name is holy. He is exalted and holy. He created His Universe by the three forms of expression: Numbers, Letters, and Words." So, famously, begins the Sepher Yetzirah. The “Book of Formation” embodies the fundamental part of the secret learning, or Kabala, of the Jews. This tradition (Kabala means “to hand down”) was probably never put into writing until Rabbi Akiba ben Joseph produced the “Book of Formation,” or “Book of Numbers and Letters,” in the second century after Christ. In order to render his work unintelligible for the profane he used a veiled language, and expressed himself in riddles and conundrums.

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.

Download or read book SEPHER YETZIRAH - THE BOOK OF FORMATION - BY WILLIAM WYNN WESTCOTT written by William Wynn Westcott and published by animatarot.com. 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.

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.

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.

Book excerpt: Sepher Rezial Hemelach is the longawaited first English translation of this famous magical text a translation from the ancient Hebrew in the rare and complete 1701 Amsterdam edition. According to Hebrew legend, the Sepher Rezial was presented to Adam in the Garden of Eden, given by the hand of God, and delivered by the angel Rezial. The myth thus suggests that this is the first book ever written, and of direct divine provenance. A diverse compendium of ancient Hebrew magical lore, this book was quite possibly the original source for later, traditional literature on angelic hierarchy, astrology, Qabalah, and Gematria. Moses Gaster mentions this in his introduction to The Sword of Moses (1896) suggesting that the Sepher Rezial could be a primary source for many magic and qabalistic books of the Middle Ages. Sepher Rezial Hemelach is a compilation of five books: "The Book of the Vestment," "The Book of the Great Rezial," "The Holy Names," "The Book of the Mysteries," and "The Book of the Signs of the Zodiac." It includes extensive explanatory text on the holy names of God, the divisions of Heaven and Hell, the names and hierarchy of the angels and spirits, as well as symbolic interpretations of both the Book of Genesis and Sepher Yetzirah. It also includes material on astronomy, astrology, gematria, and various magical talismans, most notably those used for protection during childbirth. In his introduction, Steve Savedow details the history, bibliographical citations, and lineage of this famous work. He lists the old and rare manuscripts still in existence, and provides a bibliography of other reference works for study of the Western esoteric tradition.
