I have been drawn to the subject of hermetic Qabalah for a very long time, ever since I first ran across Gareth Knight’s wonderful “A Practical Guide to Qabalistic Symbolism” in the early 1970s. But as marvelous as that two-volume set is, I had the same problem with it as I subsequently had with other highly regarded books on the subject I acquired, such as Dion Fortune’s “Mystical Qabalah” and Israel Regardie’s “A Garden of Pomegranates,” namely trying to wrap my mind around the many levels of abstraction within the Tree of Life. I’m not a stupid person, but as soon as they start describing the progression of manifestation from the highest to lowest Sepharoth, my brain seems to shut down and drift away. I understand that one goes from nothingness at Kether to the physical world in Malkuth, but the various descriptions they provide for the eight stages in between become just so many printed words on a page, with no recognizable relevance to my own experience.Enter Lon Milo Duquette and his fictitious Rabbi Lamed Ben Clifford, through whom Duquette accomplishes the seemingly impossible, namely to make the entire subject of Qabalah great fun without trivializing it. His methods are inspired, such as his brilliant depiction of the Four Worlds of the Tree as a four-story furniture store, or providing the Rabbi’s screenplay for a special-effects movie of a human autopsy to depict the levels of the soul. And his letter-by-letter analysis of the Hebrew alphabet is the best intro to that arcane subject I’ve ever seen. As odd as some of his methods may seem, they leave me feeling I’m actually starting to grasp some of this stuff, which is a pretty delightful experience.Duquette is capable of being profoundly moving, such as when he quotes the last written words of Rabbi Lamed Ben Clifford: “My Love for God and God’s Love for Me springs from the Great Secret we share. The Secret is—God and I will achieve Supreme Enlightenment at the same moment.” Yet amazingly, as insightful as the Rabbi Clifford is, he also manages to simultaneously be hysterically funny—I absolutely howled out loud when he quotes one of his fictitious student’s observation that Malkuth, the tenth Sephirah, “hangs from the three Triads like a cosmic dingleberry.” That’s an image that, like most of this book, I won’t soon forget. Is this in any way blasphemous? As Rabbi Clifford frequently says throughout the book, “Hell no! You’re a Chicken Qabalist! Don’t worry about it.” Amen. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ In my Top 5 list of Qabalah books for beginners *by S***A on Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2014* In a Forward the author wrote for Anita Kraft's, 'The Qabalah Workbook for Magicians,' Duquette -- a 40+-year scholar of Hermetic Qabalah -- writes: "'The Chicken Qabalah of Rabbi Lamed Ben Clifford' is quite frankly the text I wish I could have read I first began my Qabalah adventure." I am grateful to have stumbled upon this book at the start of my Qabalah adventure.It now lives in my top 5 list of Qabalah books for beginners along with: Dion Fortune's "The Mystical Qabalah," Israel Regardie's "The Complete Golden Dawn System of Magic," Frater Barrabbasand's "Magical Qabalah for Beginners: A Comprehensive Guide to Occult Knowledge," and Anita Kraft's "The Qabalah Workbook for Magicians."For a concise introduction to Judaic/Hebraic Kabbalah which is quite different from Hermetic Qabalah, I enjoyed Dovid Krafchow's "Kabbalistic Tarot." ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun, but serious stuff *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2020* If you are looking for a short but meaty introduction to Qabalah in the Western Mystery Tradition, here's a great book for you. Be warned, there's very little fluff here despite it being quite amusing (instructively so) in spots. A reference work for those of us with poor memories, or something to memorize if you're exceptional, you're likely to be using this book and what it teaches for decades on a regular basis.
