This book deals with the work of Italian Renaissance philosopher Giovanni Pico della Mirandola, especially in his efforts to combine the Jewish Kabbalah with Neoplatonic Christianity and Hermeticism. Kaminsky details Pico's sources and teachers, and show where and how Kabbalistic teachings were incorporated into the philosophers works which came to have a monumental influence on the Christian and Hermetic Occult tradition.

The Thirty-Two Keys (Book + Deck) by David Chaim Smith
£130.00
The Thirty-Two Keys, the third volume from the Lightning Flash of Alef series, is a group of symbolic images that provide an overview of the non-emanationist interpretation of the Kabbalah based on sources that span eight centuries. The images support a set of contemplative exercises configured for a 288-day period and serve as an introduction to the greater path of mysticism in all its forms. Beyond its introductory role, The Thirty-Two Keys is a powerful tool for contemplation at any point on the path and is absolutely unique in the literature of the Western Esoteric Tradition. This second edition has profoundly refined the original material and extensively reworked both the text and the images to make the content clearer and more accessible than ever.

The Ibri Gate: Sacred Geometry as a Meditative Doorway
The Hebrew root of the word ibri means to “crossover” or “pass through.” The crossing that is dealt with in this book sits between ordinary perception and gnosis. A unique diagram is offered for use in meditation at this crucial intersection called The Ibri Gate. Many examples of this sacred image are provided. Practice with the geometry of the image allows the power of vision to dissolve conceptual networks on contact, to serve as a portal through the dense maze of psychological habits and reflexes. This passageway offers the practitioner a non-conceptual glimpse of the ground of all phenomena if the practice is accomplished correctly. The rare glimpses that arise can then be perfected over an entire lifetime.
