Kabbalah/Qabbalah
Kabbalah and Sex Magic by Marla Segol
£30.95
Focusing on Jewish esoteric and medical sources from the fifth to the twelfth century from Byzantium, Persia, Iberia, and southern France, Segol argues that in its fully developed medieval form, kabbalah operated by ritualizing a mythos of divine creation by means of sexual reproduction. She situates in cultural and historical context the emergence of Jewish cosmological models for conceptualizing both human and divine bodies and the interactions between them, arguing that all these sources position the body and its senses as the locus of culture and the means of reproducing it. Segol explores the rituals acting on these models, attending especially to their inherent erotic power, and ties these to contemporary Western sex magic, showing that such rituals have a continuing life.
Asking questions about its cosmology, myths, and rituals, Segol poses even larger questions about the history of kabbalah, the changing conceptions of the human relation to the divine, and even the nature of religious innovation itself. This groundbreaking book will appeal to students and scholars of Jewish studies, religion, sexuality, and magic.

Book and Deck set
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.

Metatron’s Ladder (paperback) by David Chaim Smith
£18.99
Metatron’s Ladder presents a rare style of sacred work based on a 13-stage structure derived from a short medieval Kabbalistic text called The Thirteen Powers. The array pivots on the guiding power of wisdom personified by Metatron. However, this presence is not considered as an angelic being in its usual sense. Both the wisdom guidance and the mind that is guided by it are understood as mutual aspects of a single undifferentiated wisdom field where mundane concerns are released and the essential meaning of reality can awaken like a lightning flash. When the structure and symbolism of this text are understood through esoteric analysis a unique and powerful approach to mysticism shines through.
