The Magical Qabalah

In this evening course, Julian Vayne will take us through The Qabalah, a core magical system of the modern Western Occult Tradition, and the schematic at its heart - the Tree of Life. From its origins in Jewish culture, to its modern interpretations in the work of The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, to the comics of Alan Moore, the Tree of Life stands at the center of modern magic.

Participants will learn the structure of the Qabalah and gain practical magical techniques to take them deeper into its mysteries. This session is suitable for people who are new to this system and for those wishing to develop their practice.
