The Tree of Life

The tree of life is how God interacts with the universe.
The sephiroth are gates of light that are reflected in humanity -
And in this way, we partake of the Divine.

This is the essence of the Tree of Life, the patterns and process of Divine manifestation that allows us to not only understand how the world came into being but also acknowledge our rightful place in that world.

In simple yet thoughtful language, Paul Foster Case, one of the early 20th-century pioneers of practical occultism, lays out the meaning of each of the 10 spiritual principles (sephiroth) represented on the Tree of Life. By moving through each one in turn, students of the esoteric who want to deepen their understanding of the traditions of Qabalah and the Western Mysteries, will be able to develop a clearer comprehension of how the Tree of Life speaks of the origins of the Universe and also the human role in it.

The book includes:

• The original Sephiroth Hebrew Names
• Minor Arcana and Astrology
• The Three Pillars
• The Four Qabalistic Worlds
• The Seven Planets

Originally published in 1950, Case's The Tree of Life remains essential reading for anyone interested in Qabalah, Occultism, and Magical Studies. It has been updated for the 21st century reader by Wade Coleman, the author of several other books on practical occultism, astrology and Egyptology.

Paul Foster Case was an American occultist and a notable proponent of the early 20th century teachings in occultism and magical studies. He was the founder of Builders of the Adytum (B.O.T.A), a leading school of the Western mystery tradition in Los Angeles that still exists today. Case was a respected figure in the American occult and spiritual community and wrote several articles and 15 books related to these areas.
