    About this ebook

    A subject of perennial study and the focus of a recent surge of popular interest, Kabbalah is an ancient Jewish doctrine of esoteric knowledge concerning God, creation, and nature. This essential guide was written by one of the most influential figures in modern occultism. And unlike lesser works, it focuses on the actual sacred texts to offer an objective, reliable interpretation.
    The Kabbalah Unveiled explores three important books of the Zohar or "Splendor": "The Book of Concealed Mystery," the book of equilibrium or balance, concerning the central point, at which rest succeeds motion; "The Greater Holy Assembly"; and "The Lesser Holy Assembly." Together, these three books examine the gradual development of the creative deity, and of creation itself.
    Author S. L. MacGregor Mathers, a founder of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, presents his exegesis in a clear and scholarly style. Three fold-out charts enhance this volume's value as a tool for understanding the Kabbalah and enjoying the benefits of its teachings.

      This book is a translation from the Latin of that portion of the Zohar that Christian Knorr von Rosenroth's completed before his untimely demise. To my knowledge this was the only extensive translation of any part of the Sefer ha-Zohar into English until the coming of the Soncino Press version. This version is in fairly heavy Latinate English which will keep you reaching for your Latin Dictionary. Compared to more recent translations of the Zohar such as the incomplete Socino version and the translation in progress Pritzker Edition it is definitely a creature of it's time and place.
