by Jeremy Rosen

Kabbalah, an ancient mystical movement that arose within Judaism, is one of the most beautiful and enigmatic of all spiritual traditions. This Inspirations guide to the practice unveils the mysteries of Kabbalah’s fascinating belief system, and traces its most thought-provoking and imaginative themes, the creation myths; the Tree of Life and the sefirot ; the significance of the Hebrew alphabet; the link with the Garden of Eden; and the mystic marriage by which married couples can contribute to cosmic well-being.

I thought it would be more of an inspiration/mystic kind of book, because that's what it said on the cover, but it was about the history of Kabbala, not bad due to the imagery and layout of the book, but I was expecting something mystical

Reads like a simplistic Kabbalah History Book, which is fairly easy to follow. The book is interestingly loaded with an array of illustrated depictions of Jewish metaphysical - religious - and Biblical historical drawings. A very broad, but intriguing overview.
