This compendium comprises six Kabbalistic works by William G. Gray, some of which are appearing here in print for the first time. The texts included in this compilation are ranging from the simplest introduction to the Spheres and Paths of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life system, to related meditation techniques and associated ritual magical procedures, to an advanced system of what could be termed "inter-dimensional spiritual communication." The title "A BEGINNERS GUIDE TO LIVING KABBALAH" is perhaps somewhat misleading, as this compilation equally contains works of an advanced nature, and the ritual and meditation techniques addressed in this tome, pertain to both beginners as well as advanced practitioners of "Practical Kabbalah."

The "Shadow Tree Series" comprises a unique collection of Western Esoteric studies and practices which Jacobus Swart, has actuated and taught over a period of forty years. Having commenced his Kabbalah studies in Safed in the early 1970's, he later broadened his "kabbalistic horizons" under the careful guidance of the famed English Kabbalist William G. Gray. "The Book of Sacred Names" is a practical guide into the meditational and magical applications of ancient Hebrew Divine Names. Perpetuating the tenets of traditional Kabbalists who recognised the fundamental bond between "Kabbalah" and "Magic," Jacobus Swart offers step by step instructions on the deliberate and conscious control of personal life circumstances, by means of the most cardinal components of Kabbalistic doctrines and techniques-Divine Names! The material addressed in this tome derives from the extensive primary literature of "Practical Kabbalah," much of which is appearing in print for the first time in English translation.

The Book of Sacred Names

Swart, Jacobus G.

Throughout the ages, the workings of magical ritual have been shrouded in secrecy. This was not altogether intentional, since how can mere description of the purely physical aspects of ritualism possibly convey its deep significance? Knowing this, practitioners of magical rites have maintained silence or given such vague descriptions of their activities that little practical use can be made of them. "Magical Ritual Methods" is a now a classical guidebook, intended for Western Students on the path of spiritual consciousness. In this work William G. Gray pulls all the "how's" and "why's" of ceremonial magic together in one volume and provides the student with practical means for its proper operation and study. People are drawn toward ritual practice because it fulfills a need on a deep spiritual level that nothing else will fill. William Gray shows us how to arrange and direct our own studies, and gives us the basics to make magical ritual work for us, to extend our human consciousness toward Truth and Light.

Continuing the standards set in "The Book of Self Creation" and "The Book of Sacred Names," Jacobus Swart offers detailed instruction on the contents and construction of Hebrew Amulets. He again consulted the enormous array of relevant primary Hebrew literature, large sections of which are available to an English readership for the first time.

The Book of Self Creation

New Age & Spirituality

The "Shadow Tree Series" comprises a unique collection of Western Esoteric studies and practices which Jacobus G. Swart, spiritual successor to William G. Gray and co-founder of the Sangreal Sodality, has actuated and taught over a period of forty years. In "The Book of Immediate Magic - Part 1" Jacobus G. Swart perpetuates the fundamental tenets of "Self Creation" in which it is maintained that the "Centre" establishes the "Circumference," and that personal reality is emanated in harmony with personal "Will." Hence this tome comprises an enhancement and expansion of the magical doctrines and techniques of Practical Kabbalah addressed in "The Book of Self Creation," "The Book of Sacred Names," and "The Book of Seals &amp; Amulets." Jacobus Swart claims that working "Immediate Magic" is neither impossible nor difficult when we fully understand that consciousness is just one vast ocean, and that thoughts are the waves we make in it. It is all a matter of coordinating consciousness.

The Book of Immediate Magic - Part 1

In this fascinating book William G. Gray, the renowned English Kabbalist and Ceremonial Magician, delineated some of the lessons he learned from the letters which passed between himself and the Martinist, Emil Napoleon Hauenstein, his Austrian mentor and friend, whom he affectionately referred to as "E.N.H.," and who classified himself a "mystic." Hauenstein was an "Initiate" of the well-known French Occultist Papus (Gerard Encausse). He addressed important psycho-spiritual occult principles and doctrines in his letters, and since "Occultism is the study and practice of subjects and laws which are beyond the bounds and limitations of ordinary physical or even mental experience," he directed his young protegé in unfolding a well-regulated "Self," who is in full control of all his personal faculties. This is of particular importance in understanding, as William Gray noted, that "Occultism is not a pastime, it is a Power, a Purpose, a Progress, and a Path"-a Way of Life!

Countless individuals all over the world are chanting the "Psalms of David" every hour of every day, which makes the "Book of Psalms" the most practically applied text in the Hebrew Bible. In this regard this biblical text is reckoned amongst the greatest and most popular works of "Jewish Magic," its popularity being due to the Psalms addressing the loftiest "realms of spirit," the lowliest aspects of human existence, and everything in between.

Furthermore, considered to be Divinely inspired, the Psalms comprise a direct link between a 'human mouth' and a 'Divine Ear'! The material addressed in "The Book of Magical Psalms - Part 1" derives from the extensive primary literature of "Practical Kabbalah," much of which is shared in this tome for the first time in English translation.
