Paths of Wisdom goes beyond fragments of symbolism and correspondences to reveal the actual practices at the very heart of the teachings of the Golden Dawn.

"An excellent book which thoroughly explains the Qabalah from a Golden Dawn perspective and offers complete instruction in Qabalistic magic, mediation, pathworking, ritual, and prayer. This book is reader-friendly and provides easy-to-understand material for the beginner as well as practical material on the advanced levels of Golden Dawn Qabalistic magic. A valuable, insightful, and comprehensive overview of a sometimes difficult subject. Highly recommended."
