The Sword & the Serpent: The Two-Fold Qabalistic Universe (The Magical Philosophy, 2) Paperback – Illustrated, October 8, 2005

if you are familiar with the series its a must have they do not let down with their knowledge and presentation. no complaints pictures and great quality and if your lucky enough to find a solid copy of the first two books then your in businesss. This series and the following 3. books are easy to find. just wish I could find a hardcopy of this , but over all nothing is missing and its all been effectively compressed not this small soft cover at a great price.

This is a wonderful exposition on the Kabbalah. Contains many gems of wisdom that needs to be distilled out through countless readings. Although I am not very experienced in the mysteries, repeat readings of this text always never fail to bring me new insights. Highly recommended!

What a book! If you want a book on Qabalah, this one is the best I have ever found. It covers more material than you can absorb in several readings. Good readability and Excellent in material in depth and details. Highly, highly recommended!

HONEST REVIEWIve had this book for 2 months Ive written 3 things out of it that has worked FOR ME with the CORRECT KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT THEY ARE ACTUALLY SAYING. This book is a COLLECTION of other magick practices at that time period (not saying it was written in that time.. just practices of what we do now,then) Take what speaks to you, don't make the mistake we all made of thinking everything is meant to be known... it really isn't... but educational to know whats what..

One of the all time greatest books written on the Qabalah and the Western Mystery Tradition.

Excellent read

Beautifully written with appropriate examples leading to specific points regarding magick and following up with psychological analysis as the basis for performing the work. I highly recommend this book.

This is a difficult read and ment to be read and studied and read again. It's like reading the Bible or better yet, The Simirilian. Worth reading but takes time and effort. I gave it a 3 star due to it being so hard; unless your already well versed in Qabalaism.
