The Mystical Qabalah by Dion Fortune
4.0
I'm not going to lie, this one has taken me YEARS to read! But I'm officially done and ultimately felt that it was worth the slog.
Of course Kabbalah study is problematic and I cannot review the book without acknowledging that. But that aside, I did learn a lot that contextualized my understanding of the Western Esoteric view of Kabbalah.
Pros: learned quite a bit, the insights were generally intriguing, and it added depth to my understanding
Cons: dense, sometimes obscure text and at times very heavy Christian rhetoric
Would I recommend it? Yes - but as something you read one section at a time.
