"A Garden of Pomegranates: Skrying on the Tree of Life" by Israel Regardie (3rd edition edited and annotated 2013)

"The best single introduction to the Qabalah for magicians

When Israel Regardie wrote A Garden of Pomegranates in 1932, he designed it to be a simple yet comprehensive guidebook outlining the complex system of the Qabalah and providing a key to its symbolism. Since then, it has achieved the status of a classic among texts on the Hermetic Qabalah.

The Qabalah is the ancient system of Hebrew mysticism that is the foundation of all Western magical and esoteric studies. Its primary symbol is the Tree of Life, used since ancient times to study the nature of the Universe, the essence of God, and the attributes of the human mind. This book stands as the clearest introductory guide for magicians, with an emphasis on direct experience through meditation on the Thirty-two Paths of Wisdom.

The Ciceros have made A Garden of Pomegranates even more useful for today's occult students with full annotations, critical commentary, and explanatory notes. They've added practical material in the form of pathworkings, suggested exercises, and daily affirmations—one for each Sephirah and each path. Brief rituals, meditations, and Qabalistic mantras complement Regardie's section on gematria and other forms of numerical Qabalah."
