Review

A Twenty-first-century Edition of a Magical Classic

Since it was first published in 1932, The Tree of Life has provided spiritual seekers and aspiring magicians with the most comprehensive study of the common threads of magical theory and practice. Israel Regardie's mission of bringing magic into the light of understanding takes a giant step forward in this new edition. Two Adept associates of Regardie's have contributed these enhancements:
-- Annotations throughout, with critical commentary and explanatory notes
-- A new introduction, glossary, bibliography, and index
-- Askenazic Hebrew translated to common Sephardic
-- A large number of new illustrations

If you are looking for a complete introduction to the study of magic, or if you have an older copy and would like a clearer, more usable version, you will not find a better choice than this edition of The Tree of Life. --From the Back Cover

Have you ever heard of Elbert Hubbard? After being a soap salesman he founded the Roycrofters (part of the handicraft movement) and the Roycroft Press, which printed magazines and books filled with inspiration and information. He was popular in the early 1900s. Most people today have never heard of him.

On the other hand, you've probably heard of Israel Regardie. About his book, The Tree of Life, famous occultist Dion Fortune wrote, ..".it is going to be one of the classics of occultism." She was right.

The Tree of Life was a book of its time. And just as poor Elbert is pretty obscure today, so, too, are many of the references in Regardie's book. It was time, not to change the book, but to update it for modern readers.

The ideal people to do this were Chic and Sandra Tabatha Cicero, Senior Adepts of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and respected writers and lecturers. The actual changes they made were few --they Americanized some British spellings and carefully turned the transliterations of Hebrew into the modern system that Regardie used in his later books. But that was just the beginning.

Next, they made numerous explanatory notes for each chapter so that everyone can now fully understand the book. Then, to make it easier to use and more valuable they added a glossary, a bibliography, an index, and information on each chapter for the contents pages. To show its importance, they included a biographical preface giving information about Regardie and the book. And finally, to make it even more attractive, they've added over 100 illustrations. Now, this classic from the year 1932 is again a classic for the 21st century. Elbert Hubbard may be forgotten, but this book is fresh and lively. Again, if you get a book on real magic, this should be it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Must Have For Anyone Interested in Magick

P. · 11 June 2014

I only wish I had found this book sooner but better to have later then to never have had the opportunity to read it. Now I have one in my collection. This book explains everything about Magick, how and why it works, and it is written by a man who was once a member of The Golden Dawn, so you know this is about Real Magick. Although there are many books out there about Magick, this one differs not only because of the indepth detail in which Regardie writes, but the passion in which he does it in. The language he uses which makes even the most complicated seem simple and easy understand.

Classic reference, great service

A must read for any aspiring magician

N. · 13 September 2024

Israel Regardie has a knack of writing very clearly, and in an easy to understand manner. I had an older edition that went missing; so I got this new edition to replace it. The language has been cleared up with modern vernacular The Ciceros, who were students of Regardie have added extensive end notes and the switch from Askenazic (much more common in the US), to the Sephardic dialect from Spain, which is more commonly used by magicians. Highly reccomended for magicians of any amount of experience.

Excellent

The product came in excellent condition. No tears, scratches, bent corners or anything

Maravilhoso

C.C.D. · 23 April 2017

Completo... Os comentários e notas enriqueceram a obra... Bastante abrangente, trata a Magia como deveria: sobriamente, apontando os fundamentos e deixando espaço para que o leitor raciocine sobre o que lê...

Everything I ever wanted to know about the beginnings of Kabalah and other spiritual practices

L.B. · 24 January 2022

A very comprehensive discussion covering all the early western spiritual theorists including the founders of Kabalah and Golden Dawn. Who devised them, and who belonged to which secret (at the time) spiritual group. Israel Regardie has brought an objective viewpoint that weaves between them explaining how they relate, with an in depth knowledge gained as a member of the various groups and learning their teachings.He disagreed with the secrecy and the egos that eventually led to their disbandment.I highly recommend this book if you are interested in discovering what all the current western spiritual mythologies base their teachings on.If you've already gathered information as you journey along your own spiritual path this book will provide aha moments about what you suspected were smoke and mirror myths and what has provided real resonance for you.The Magic depends on how deep and regular your spiritual meditation practice is, on raising your vibration through this practice and strengthening your connection to source.

Great read . Youll be able to get a grasp of the surreal world of the magi !!
