Qabalah Paths of Light Gary M Jaron

The Qabalah Paths of Light: The Occult Qabalah Reclaimed. Building upon the logic of my first book, The Qabalah Gates of Light, I continue to rework the Qabalah based in a foundation of the Rabbinic Jewish Kabbalah's symbols and metaphors. This book explores the paths of the Sefiroth and the question of assigning the Hebrew letters to the paths. Ultimately I choose to use the system published in the 1884 edition of the Sefer Yetzirah devised by Elijah ben Solomon Zalmon (1720 - 1790) of the city of Vilna Lithuania, known as the Vilna Gaon (Hebrew word for Genius). He was known by the Hebrew acronym 'the GRA'. Having done that I follow through with associating the Tarot's Major Arcana to this new configuration on the Tree's paths. I also provide insights into the creation of the Tree, its name (the Tree of Life) and its significance by rooting the Tree in a variation of the ARI mythic tale of creation and a retelling of the Gan Eden myth. I finally provide guidance and a suggestion of how to work with the Tree in a magick ritual setting. With this book I have reclaimed the Qabalah's use of the Sefiroth from its prior Christian disordered roots that were the origins of the original Occult Qabalah.
