SEPHER YETZIRAH: THE BOOK OF FORMATION AND THE THIRTY TWO PATHS OF WISDOM
Book Details + Condition: Samuel Weiser Inc (New York), 1975. Softcover. 43 pages. An unusual reprint of the revised edition of Westcott's translation of the Kabbalistic treatise "Sepher Yetzirah", which was first published in 1887 and later reissued as the tenth volume of the "Collectanea Hermetica" series. William Wynn Westcott (1848 – 1925) was an English Rosicrucian and Theosophist best known as a founder of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. This present edition was published by Occult Research Press, an early imprint of what would become Samuel Weiser Publishing. The Sepher Yetzirah is one of the most famous of the ancient Qabalistic texts, first put into writing around 200 AD. Westcott's translation of the Sepher Yetzirah was a primary source for the rituals and Knowledge Lectures of the Golden Dawn. The esoteric work is a formulation of the Creation through the Tree of the Sephiroth and twenty-two Hebrew Hieroglyphs.
