The Kabbalah Unveiled

S. L. MacGregor Mathers’s translation introduces key portions of the Kabbalistic text known as the Zohar, especially the symbolic interpretation of creation and divine emanation. Historically important as one of the major English-language gateways to Kabbalah in Western occultism, it includes dense allegorical material on cosmology, the sefirot, and mystical exegesis.

S. L. MacGregor Mathers (1854–1918) was a British occultist and one of the principal founders of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. He is especially important for his translations and compilations of esoteric texts, including grimoires and kabbalistic materials, which helped shape modern ceremonial magic.
