Table Of ContentNow you have the only sourcebook you'll ever need for
understanding the basis of western mysticism, the cabala.
There is no longer any need for myriad books on mysticism,
magic, and the occult in order to trace down the basic mean-
ings, Hebrew spellings, and enumerations of the hundreds of
terms, words, and names you need to reference as you wind
your way through cabalistic magic and gematria. All the
information is contained in this one source.
Godwin's Cabalistic Encyclopedia is the most complete correla-
tion of Hebrew and English ideas ever offered. Included are
such essentials as all of the two-letter root words found in
Biblical Hebrew, the astrological signs, every demon, angel,
power, sephiroth, path and plane of the Tree of Life you
could ever want to know about and a lot more. Each attribute
and association is fully described and cross-indexed by the
Hebrew, English, and numerical forms. And there's more.
The third and revised edition features a new introduction, a
revamped and rearranged format, and hundreds of new
illustrations and entries. So not only is this the most complete
cabalistic reference tool, it's also the easiest to use.
" ... A notable sourcebook. The
research, the care behind this accumula-
tion of information is staggering."
—The Book Reader

Llewellyn's "Sourcebooks" are designed to be resource files for eso-
teric technicians.
For some readers, it may at first seem strange to apply the
word "technology" to the concept of esotericism. Technology is
basically how-to knowledge, and esotericism (by whatever name)
is True Sacred Living. We publish many practical books that teach
the reader "how to" in many areas of the esoteric sciences. These
are the techniques, the practical programming, the procedures to
follow in working toward a particular accomplishment, the modus
operandi.
But the technician of the Sacred needs more than the knowledge
of the method of operation. He or she also has to have basic infor-
mation about the materials that will be utilized, or about the
beings that will be invoked, or the tools to be used. And this infor-
mation must be organized and presented from a sound, esoteric
foundation.
Sourcebooks may be presented in the form of dictionaries,
encylopedias, anthologies, or new editions of classical works.
Always, we produce these to actually meet the needs of the eso-
teric practitioner and student. They bring to the reader what he or
she needs to know in order to apply the how-to knowledge gained
from text and guide books.
A sourcebook is the distillation of factual knowledge from
dozens of books and sources (sometimes veritable libraries) com-
pounded with the practical experience of the author. No one can
do an adequate job of gathering such factual knowledge unless
they are themselves expert in the field represented.
As publishers, we seek to provide the student with three out of
the four vital elements essential to the sacred life: theoretical
knowledge, practical knowledge, and factual knowledge. The
fourth element can only come as the student brings these together,
and gains experiential knowledge. These four kinds of knowledge
then become the pillars of wisdom.
