What has been achieved here is a masterpiece of research and love of the subject itself. I give it my highest recommendation; I marvel at the dedication and scholarship that has gone into it. I predict that in the future it will become the definitive book on Qabbalistic magic. * Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki, director of studies at Servants of the Light School of Occult Science *
Qabbalistic Magic is a modern masterpiece of the genre, a great work of mystical art. * Parallel Perspectives, June 2011 *
I would definitely recommend this book to Qabbalistic magicians. It is probably nothing like youre used to, but it is important to understand the basis of your tradition. You may even find some new inspiration from older methods. I certainly did. * Spiral Nature *
Qabbalistic Magic is an excellent twenty-first-century grimoire: a first-rate magical cookbook, which is both comprehensive and very practical. * Ronald Hutton, British historian and author of The Triumph of the Moon *
