Sepher Yetzirah: The Book of Creation

I love books on ancient religions, cultures, UFO’s, customs, governments, etc. this is a very thin little book but jam packed with information.

This review is for Sepher Yetzirah: The Book of Creation , 82-page CreateSpace Mar 30, 2011 edition. This copy is clean, well-formatted, and provides the Hebrew source including vowel points and cantillation marks. The cover is gloss, not matte, and a very welcome addition to my library.

This book is a deep read, for me at least. It holds amazing information. I read small chuncks at a time, for two reasons actually. I want to understand and digest the information. It's unique, interesting, and maybe not for everyone.

Forgotten texts

Two Qabalistic translations in one cover! For Rosicrucian students, Knut Stenring was Dr. Paul Foster Case's preferred translator of this classic text of Hebrew spirituality. Dr. Isidor Kalisch's translation comes with an introduction by an AMORC officer, written in 1948; Stenring's translation is introduced by A.E. Waite. I bought this copy for my own studies. It includes the Hebrew text. Both translations are provided in full. A great buy!

I did not know what to expect from this text. This information is heavy, I'm still going over it and applying concepts to my life. I purchased the Zohar and have been connecting the dots, climbing Jacobs ladder. This is a good read for those who are seeking to expand their kabbalistic views.

I’m not a huge reader, so take this with a grain of salt. It was kind of a hard book to read and wished there was something out there that was a bit more relatable and understandable.

Only buy IF you read Hebrew! Disappointing for the most part. To many sections unreadable unless you read Hebrew.

Meets Expectation

Good Hebrew/English

impecável

An easy-to-understand version of the Sefer Yetzirah.

The book is short and very easy to read. Its development is progressive going from the unit to the multiplicity. Form Yah which may represent the number 1 to 3, 7, 12. The text try to create a relationship between the Hebrew letters and dimensions of the physical universe, and also a correlation to the "spiritual world" I can inferred from the text. I really like the way the author "Abraham, according to the kabbalists" wrote this book, to me it seems very well structured with the Hebrew letter. I gave 4 stars for one reason only, the lack of method, what is it that the author is trying to teach us ? What is the goal of the teachings of this book ? Attain knowledge, enlightenment ? What are the steps 1,2,3... to attain what was not established ? I am happy with the book, cheap, easy to ready and important to the kabbalists.
