New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
Be honest: When you hear the word, "Qabala," what comes to mind? Hermetic Qabala is a spiritual framework for understanding ourselves and the universe, using a glyph called the Tree of Life. It has tons of practical, magickal uses, but it's not uncommon for someone to take a quick look at Qabala and decide it isn't for them, for any number of reasons. Many people see Qabala as an antiquated spiritual tool bogged down with undesirable concepts like patriarchy, hierarchy, and monotheism. But I'm one of those weirdos who started digging into Qabala early in my Pagan spiritual journey, and then just couldn't stop.

Why would anyone bother to learn the Qabalah, you might ask? What could you possibly gain by studying such a complicated and obscure occult system? Is it even relevant in these post-modern times?
