I don't know Hebrew at all. I also don't know sanskrit, but I feel like I would have a better chance learning Hebrew than sanskrit. What do you all think about Hermetic Christianity, or whatever the term that it uses? I feel that is something that might be in reach at least as a starting point.
I made a lot of mistakes in my last post! I forgot to translate Malkuth to Kingdom and I repeated “Ve-Gedulah” twice. Fail. I corrected it so all the info should be good now. I laid down for a nap yesterday and all of a sudden it hit me that I forgot “the Kingdom”.
I started studying the Hermetic Qabalah without a knowledge of Hebrew. If you’re interested, I can help you study the alphabet. The alphabet is all one really needs to know with Qabalah. But take it slow, study what is calling to you. That “resonance” will carry you on your spiritual path.
One teacher who I can recommend who was involved in qabalistic, Hermetic christianity is Dion Fortune. Her book “The Mystical Qabalah” is one of the best out there. This book served as my inspiration and starting point. Not all Qabalists are friendly towards Christianity. I hold Christ dear to my heart, so to me, Christ is the perfect representation of the sphere of Tiphareth, divine archetypal Beauty; the sphere of the Sun, and heart. If you feel the same way, then Dion Fortune is for you. She was a very positive white magician (dare I say adept?).
If your interested in the ritual that was referred to, there is a lesser form of the LBRP called the Qabalistic Cross. I perform it twice a day, before and after my daily meditation. It’s easier than the LBRP. You don’t have to trace perfect geometry in the air and visualize the four archangels at the four quarters all at once.
Finally, I would recommend “The Middle Pillar” by Israel Regardie. The information in this book is excellent! Here you can properly learn the Qabalistic Cross and Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram. And also the preliminary preparations for walking a mystical spiritual path. I.e. the clearance of lower chakra blockages and distortions.
I’m rambling too much, lol. I’m glad to try and answer any questions that you might have. This is great forum, so many different people from different paths converging in their seeking of the Eternal One. Blessings to you my friend!
