Kabbalah Links Page
Once you have followed several of these links and appreciate the extent of the written
material on Kabbalah, your eyes will begin to glaze over and you may find yourself slumped
at your terminal in a catatonic stupor of information overload. This is the beginning of
that mystical state described in this paraphrase of W.B. Yeats' Long-Legged Fly:
"That the Great Work may not fail,
And it's secrets be lost,
Switch on the modem, log on the Net,
Whatever the cost;
The Kabbalist is wired,
Where the grimoires are spread,
His eyes fixed on nothing,
A hand under his head.
Like a long-legged fly upon the stream
His mind moves on silence"
Right: Rembrandt's Catatonic Kabbalist with Laptop Computer

- A 16th. century text on alchemy, written by someone with a background in Kabbalah.
- Traditio: subject index
- A general historical reading list of stupendous proportions.
-
- A Summary of Pythagorean Theology
- by John Opsopaus. There are some exceptionally fine articles on the WWW
these days, and this is one of them. The similarity between some aspects of
the theosophic structure of Kabbalah and some aspects of Pythagoreanism have
been observed since the Renaissance (e.g. Johann Reuchlin). What this means
is unclear, but anyone who is interested in the foundations of Kabbalah is
certain to be intrigued.
-
- Burckhardt
- The Civilisation of the Renaissance in Italy by Jacob Burckhardt. Massive
reference work on the period - important for the beginnings of Christian and Hermetic
Kabbalah.
-
- Galileo Project
- Entry point into the Galileo Project's massive store of information. Includes
biographies of over 631 individuals from the 16th & 17th centuries, including Dr. John Dee, and
many important alchemists - see Catalog of the Scientific
Community. A superb historical resource for the Hermetic historian.
-
- Plato
- All philosophy is footnotes to Plato.
-
- New Advent Catholic Supersite: Fathers
of the Church
- This site contains a superb collection of patristic literature - that is, very early
works by Roman and Greek Christian fathers which is of outstanding historical importance
for understanding the relationship of early Christianity to Gnosticism and Neoplatonism -
both of which relate to Kabbalah.
-
- The Gnostic Society Library
- Highly recommended. A very large collection of essential gnostic source material (and
much besides).
-
- Forgotten Books of Eden
and other Lost Books
- Once were lost but now am found, as the song goes. More essential pseudepigrapha and
apocrypha.
-
- Decline of the Library of Alexandria
- Ever wondered why people queued-up to set fire to this most-famous of all libraries?
This great little essay is the history of its glacially slow combustion.
-
- Biblioteca Arcana
- This is one of my favourite WWW sites - a collection of essays on Graeco-Roman magic and
traditions, along with many translations of otherwise hard-to-find material.
-
- The Online Medieval and
Classical Library (DL SunSITE)
-
- Perseus Project Homepage
- This is a major collection of classical (Graeco-Roman) literature. I
still haven't forgiven them for not having "De Mysteriis" by
Iamblichus. Humph.
[Aside, stage whisper: Ha! But the Petersons now have
Iamblichus.
Double Ha!]
-
- Sacred and Religious Texts
- Your favourite version of the Truth ... online.
-
- The Alchemy WWW Site and Virtual
Library
- The definitive online resource for alchemy.
-
- Jewish Roots of Eastern
Christian Mysticism
- An academic site with some wonderfully arcane content. The section on
Jewish, Christian and Pagan magic is particularly good.
-
- Lilith
- Pages devoted to the Lilith myth.
- Networks, Sites and
Mailing-Lists on Mysticism
- Includes material on Kabbalah.
-
- Mysticism
in World Religions
- Large site, includes material on Kabbalah.
-
- Links to Contemplative Resources
- Well chosen links to some major repositories
- Tim Maroney's Web Pages
- Like the Tardis in Dr. Who, the inside of Tim's head holds far more than one
could ever believe possible. An excellent site.
-
- Lucky Mojo
- Fascinating site run by Catherine & Tyagi Nagasiva Yronwode. Tyagi is one of the
great eclectics, and his essays are
worth reading for their antinomian perspectives.
-
- Anathema Books: Occult Books and
Occult Resources
- I don't normally carry links to commercial sites, but I made this an
exception.
- Margo's Magical Letter Page
- Sound Symbolism, Phonosemantics, Phonetic Symbolism, Mimologics, Iconism,
Cratylus, Ideophones, Synaesthesia, The Alphabet, The Word.
- Kabbalists have always deconstructed language in curious ways. A site
that explores some of the less well-known attributes of language and sound. Recommended.
-
- The Ted Hughes Homepage
- I hadn't realised that UK Poet Laureate Ted Hughes (now deceased) had
been strongly influenced by hermeticism, platonism and kabbalah. Dr. Ann Skea has been
investigating many of these influences in his poetry. Of particular interest is her essay Poetry and Magic, "... an analysis
of Birthday Letters, and Ted Hughes' use of Tarot and Cabbala in this
sequence".
-
- Sacred Geometry
- There are many hints and suggestions of an ancient connection between
numbers, geometry and Kabbalah, giving rise to speculation (from antiquity)
that the teachings of Pythagoras are Middle-Eastern in origin. This essay on
the numerology of the Platonic Solids is worth a read. See also Leonora
Leet's The
Secret Doctrine of the Kabbalah.
-
- Principia Cybernetica Web
- Principia Cybernetica tries to tackle age-old
philosophical questions with the help of the most recent cybernetic
theories and technologies. I find it difficult to express the extent of my admiration
for this site. A superbly hyperlinked exposition with 18,000 documents
pointed to by 10,000 links. And it is literate, clear, and enjoyable.
-
- The World of Ken Wilber
- Hermetic Kabbalah provides what is very much a holistic worldview. Ken
Wilber is an influential modern exponent of what one might call "the
perennial philosophy", as represented throughout history by individuals
such as the Neoplatonist philosopher Plotinus. Wilber's Sex,
Ecology, Spirituality is the best modern exposition of this
viewpoint that I have found, and I admire this work greatly.
-
- The
Meditation Site
- An introduction to practical meditation techniques from all over the
world. What a good idea!
-
- Religious Movements
Homepage: Qabalah/Kabbalah
- Observe how Kabbalah is located in the general religious firmament.
-
- Borges and the Kabbalah
- Short review of a books of essays on the work of the influential South American writer,
Jorge Luis Borges
-
- The
Metaphysics Research Lab Home Page
- Motivated by similar concerns as historical Kabbalists, this is what Kabbalah turns into
when you give it to academics. Hardcore modern metaphysics. Don't tell them about this
link - they'd be mortified!
-
- The Dan Clore Necronomicon Page
- Was Abdul Alhazred influenced by Merkhabah mysticism? You won't find the answer here.
-
- Project Gutenberg Master Index
- This is the best source for online copies of out-of-copyright literature. Did you know
all of William Blake was online? This is great when you want to search for every instance
of Goolganooza (which I do each morning after my press-ups).
-
- Kronos Quartet: The Dream
and Prayers of Isaac the Blind
- What this has to do with the "Father of Kabbalah" is left as an exercise to
the reader.

The WWW, like a Tree of Life, has its periods of growth, bursts of enthusiasm when
sites are built, and it has its autumns when leaves fall off the Tree in large numbers.
The links on this page are offsite, and their ontological status or content is not my
