Merry Meet and Welcome to the class!

In this lesson you will learn about; The Kabbalah and its importance to magic.

Lesson Plan:

What is the Kabbalah?
The Kabbalah and the Four Elements
The Four Kabbalistic Worlds
How Witches can use the Kabbalah

For the research project for this lesson we would like you to go away and find out all you can about the Kabbalah. Some of you may already have begun to do this as you may be taking the Tarot or Kabbalah course.
In particular take some time to find out about how things can correspond to the Sephiroth. Take a look through the course work already completed at Magicka and identify information that can be linked to them. Try not to be too concerned at this stage as to whether an association is “right” or “wrong”. You will find that some of the things you decide you will always be happy with and others you will want to revise as you learn more.

The following gives some areas to work on and one or two pointers:

Herbs are a good place to start as planetary correspondences will make this relatively easy.

Similarly the planets associated metals can be added.

Next think about where different magical tools might be placed. Which Sephirah might a wand be attributed to? What about an athame? Or a crystal ball? Or an altar?

Think about the Goddess and the God, where might they go? What about the aspects of Maid, Mother and Crone? Or the sacrificial God?

How about the Archangels? Consider too the forces associated with the Quarters.

When you have completed all of these you will see just what potential the Tree of Life has as a compendium of magical knowledge and really begin to appreciate how it can be used to enhance your magical workings.

Exercises

Getting to know the Tree
One of the most effective ways of getting to know the tree better is to spend some time drawing it. Some will be happiest making quick sketches in a notebook, whilst others will want to make poster sized Trees that can be used as an item for display.

The key thing with any approach for the moment is to become familiar with the Sephiroth names, their qualities and the things they are associated with and drawing these out for yourself is a powerful way to remember them.

Refer to the on-line lessons for the meditative exercises.

Well done, you have now completed the fifth lesson of the Advanced Course!

This lesson has given you the key to really making the magic that you work cogent and powerful. Over time you will begin to see just how effective the Tree of Life is as a way of organising and determining your practice of magic.

Many witches never reach this kind of level of adeptness in their craft and you should be justifiably pleased that you are now working at a very good level.

You now have 28 days in which to digest the material and complete the research project and incorporate the exercises into your life. Remember the School wants to hear how you got on. After this period an exam will be available online and upon taking this you will be able to advance to Lesson Six. At this point you will be half way through the course.

May the Tree of Life open out for you many things in life that you were previously unaware of, may it strengthen your magical skills and bring joy to you and those around you.

In Love and Light,
Blessed Be
And see you next lesson.
