Long considered the best single introduction to the Qabalah for magicians, the third edition of Israel Regardie's
A Garden of Pomegranates
is now better than ever, thanks to the extensive annotations and new material by Chic Cicero and Sandra Tabatha Cicero. Their work has made

Features a Middle Pillar-style exercise for exploring and activating different parts of the soul
Written by one of the most influential magical teachers of modern times and two of his personal students
The Qabalah is the ancient system of Hebrew mysticism that is the foundation of Western magical and esoteric studies. Its primary symbol is the Tree of Life, a diagram that can aid in the study of the nature of the Universe, the essence of God, and the human mind, spirit, and soul.
A Garden of Pomegranates
is the clearest introductory guide on this subject.
When Israel Regardie wrote
A Garden of Pomegranates
in 1932, he designed it to be a simple yet comprehensive guidebook outlining the complex system of the Qabalah and providing a key to its symbolism. Since then, it has achieved the status of a classic among texts on the Qabalah. The full annotations, critical commentary, and explanatory notes now make this book the ultimate single resource on the subject. The new material, including pathworkings, exercises, daily affirmations, rituals, meditations, and more, not only complement the original, full text included in this edition, but also make
A Garden of Pomegranates
indispensable for modern magicians.
Recenzja
Is it possible to make a classic better? Most authors think so. That's why they often produce new editions of their works.
A Garden of Pomegranates
by Israel Regardie went into its second edition over 30 years ago. For it, Regardie gave a new introduction, explaining some of the comments he had made in the first edition some 40 years earlier.
Regardie is no longer with us, and we felt that
A Garden of Pomegranates
needed an updating. Books written for an audience of 70 years ago don't always meet the needs of people today. Luckily, Chic and Sandra Tabatha Cicero, Senior Adepts of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and students of Regardie, were more than up to the task--and what an incredible job they have done.
A Garden of Pomegranates
is the classic introduction to the magical Qabalah. The Ciceros have redrawn all of the original diagrams and added a score of notes, as well as a glossary, a bibliography, and an index to make finding information easier than ever. Plus, they have added more than 300 pages of additional material on working with the Tree of Life that can be put into use no matter what your level of experience.
Previously,
A Garden of Pomegranates
was one of the most important Qabalistic guides for the twentieth century. With the new edition, it is now the classic you must get for the new millennium.
