Kabbalah, the Harmony of Opposites - A Treatise Elucidating Bible Allegories and the Significance of Numbers #268117

Mathers, is a familiar volume among students of things generally termed occult, and as that trea tise supplies a vast amount of curious information in a comparatively simple manner, we shall make many references to that extraordinary volume in the course of the fo-llowmg pages. It may be said that Kabbalism as usually pre sented is a form of theosophical teaching employing a Hebrew instead of a Greek or Sanscrit terminology. That is the broadest definition which can well be given of it. Those who take a narrower view regard it is solely an esoteric reading of the Torah or Pen tateuch, and many European Jews who prize a mys tical tradition find in a study of Kabbalah a complete vindication of the highest spiritual claims ever made for the divine or1g1n of the Sacred Books of Israel.
