Summary: The Real Kabbalah
Comment: Before I read this book I was a BIG TIME junkie and alcoholic. It changed me. This, and any other Kabbalah, has healing powers. I was such a junkie I would go to class high on drugs. I would get high by myself and consider it a good time. I would steal grams of weed from my friends. I was horrible. This book made me realize that the arcane was my true passion, not drugs and alcohol. I no longer have the urge to get plastered every weekend and sometimes during the weekdays.

Summary: Traditional GD Kabbalah material only printed in this book
Comment: The key to this book's value is that it is a reference book of source material meant to live in the context of a Golden Dawn collection. It is packed with original material not to be found elsewhere in print, before or yet again as of the date of this review. While this book will be of interest to everyone who studies Kabbalah, it will be of especial interest to Golden Dawn practitioners and scholars who wish to deepen their knowledge of this particular "GD" approach to Kabbalah. Having said that, it is not a Primer but assumes a basic knowledge of the GD kabbalistic structure and metaphors available elsewhere, from which basis it is a deeper discussion and an enhancement -- even, in some cases, an intriguing challenge to what is elsewhere printed.
It will therefore be invaluable to anyone who has already picked up the basics of the Golden Dawn approach to Kabbalah who wants deeper information on a particular point, at which time they can study the original documents inside, which are minimally colored by commentary.
A technical example is the Chapter on the ShemHaMephorash, or the name in extension. Zalewski tells where the original Philosophus lecture comes from, and provides an interesting diagram from that original Paper that stands in contrast to the Leo centered ordering of the angels of the Name provided by Mathers, a scheme which is central to the GD understanding of the Tarot pip cards. This may be significant or not to different readers, but is invaluable food for thought to anyone seriously working out for themselves the true attributions of the Name in Extension to the Zodiac and the Tarot.
I hope this review has been helpful to those who encounter it -- As you can probably tell, I am not a professional reviewer but just an interested Golden Dawn practicer whose own copy of this book is Well Thumbed! If you are anything like me, you NEED this book!
