Title: A good writer but decides to ignore the past
Product review: The main problem with Hermetic Kabbalah is that its based on a decision. A decision made by Englishmen during the last few centuries to take what they wanted from whatever mystical tradition existed and use it. The big problem is that they never asked the people who used the traditions. This led to a very large number of mistakes and mistranslation. Rather than write a book and try to reconcile these problems, the author ignored them. In doing so he wrote an amusing book that has a relevance limited to the works of the Golden Dawn. I'm disappointed that Hermetic Kabbalists don't recognize the mistakes made by the GD in the beginning. This is why Jewish Kabbalists look down at the modern Hermetic tradition.
