    John W.,

    >>>My view is that the Qabalah, by which I presume you mean the Sefer
    Yetzirah or Book of Formation, with its Tree of Life or Etz Chaim, is
    astrological, NOT magical, in nature. <<<

    Quite the contary. While I will not dispute the fact that the Sepher
    Yetzirah does have heavy astrological influences within it, it is
    ultimatly magical text. This is especially true given the fact that
    is upon the Sepher Yetzirah did Bardon form of basis for his system
    of initiation into hermetics, as well as his practice of
    Kabbalahistic utterence. In fact, I would have to say understanding
    of the Sepher Yetzirah is a rather good idea for anyone attempting
    the work of the Key to the True Quaballah.

    As for the astrological influences, I defer to the wisdom of Bardon:
    namely that the stars compel, that is all.

    Love and Live well,
    Peter Reist
