The Cabala, an ancient tradition of Jewish mysticism, is a vital
source of occult information for many mystics and magicians.
Gematria, a complex form of numerology, is an important facet of
the Cabala. Gematria is based on a simple premise: each Hebrew
letter also represents a number. Cabalists assert that words with
equal or related numerical values have a special type of
relationship. The study of these relationships is the basis of
Gematria.
You could go through the laborious process of figuring out the
numerical values of various words, or you can simply read Godwin's
Cabalistic Encyclopedia by David Godwin. Now in its third expanded
and revised edition, this extensive collection includes the
Gematria for the many names of God, angels, the Spirits of the
Goetia, the sinister tunnels of Set, and many more. Hundreds of new
entries and illustrations include terms of Freemasonry, Aurum Solis
spellings, meditations on God names, and intelligences of the
"thirty-two paths of wisdom." The encyclopedia has also been
reorganized and has replaced awkward English alphabet
representations with actual Hebrew characters and a guide to their
English pronunciation, making this the most accessible version of
this book ever!
Godwin's Cabalistic Encyclopedia is now over 650 informative pages
in length. Before this book was available, the most important work
of this type was Aleister Crowley's Sepher Sephiroth. As a bonus,
Crowley's entire text is included as an appendix, making Godwin's
Cabalistic Encyclopedia the most complete Cabalistic work
available.
If this book merely listed the numerical values of many different
words, it would be invaluable. But it does much more. Most words
are explained in detail. Thus, you learn that Thantifaxath is the
guardian of the thirty-second Tunnel of Set, is associated with the
key of B-sharp, the colors black and blue, and arteriosclerosis.
You will also learn that Anevel is the angel of the third quinance
of Gemini, and angel by day of the Tarot's Nine of Swords. This
angel is associated with Psalms, chapter 100, verse two, and three
alternate spellings are included. The book also reveals that
Zachariah has two different Hebrew spellings, and may equal 242 or
248. Zachariah was the fifteenth King of Israel. He began to rule
in the thirty-eighth year of King Azariah of Judah, but reigned
only six months. He was killed by his successor, Shallum.
If you are involved in the study or practical application of the
Cabala, this book is essential. As you investigate the mysteries of
Gematria, this book will save you hours of time and prevent any
accidental mistakes. Let Godwin's Cabalistic Encyclopedia be your
guide as you traverse the paths of the Tree of Life.
