The Mystical Qabalah by Dion Fortune
3.0
Content note: racism, homophobia, transphobia
This is an important text in the context of the modern Western magical tradition. Fortune does a good job of describing the Tree of Life for the modern (pre WW2) reader. There is some pseudoscience that made me uncomfortable, as well as transphobic, homophobic, and racist comments made in passing. I would recommend this to anyone who seriously studies tarot or anything esoteric, but it is definitely a product of its time, so I can't rate it as high as I might otherwise.
