Kabbalah-of-the-Golden-Dawn-Pat-Zalewski - D Ank Unlimited

Introduction
My own association with the Order came from ex-members of the
New Zealand Temple Whare Ra. Under the tuition of my mentor Jack
Taylor (a former Hierophant) I was given access to most of its documents.
Some years ago, just before Taylor's death, I was given access to a large
number of documents that had been the bases for lectures from Whare Ra
on the Kabbalah since the temple's inception in 1912 to its demise in
1978. Most of these papers were undated (apart from the time that the
lecture was given) and were partial translations of the Zohar from the
French (apparently from the works of Pauly, Franck, Levi, and Papus) and
from the Hebrew and Latin. In many instances the translations differ
considerably from published texts, and where this is evident I have mentioned
it. The Zoharic quotes I have used are from these translations,
many of which have only been translated into English for the general
public in the last decade or so. Taylor informed me that most of these
translations were done by the two former Golden Dawn Chiefs, Mathers
and Westcott. Mathers' wife Moina also claimed that full English translations
of Levi's works were handed around the Order, some years before
English translations became available. 3
What the Golden Dawn did, in essence, was to take the eyes out of
the Zoharic teaching and present these in rituals and knowledge lectures.
Many of the associated diagrams and explanations which were provided
in the Golden Dawn were omitted from Regardie's first publication of the
Golden Dawn material. In Regardie's subsequent work, Complete Golden
DawnSystemof Magic, the missing explanations are given only in part
and these are still barely skeletoruc. These were of course taken from
Rosenroth's works, that Mathers appended to the rituals. Many of the
explanations given in this book are more complete than the rituals and
are taken back to their original source, the Zohar. They are based on
translations I uncovered here in New Zealand from various lectures on
the subject given by Felkin and other Golden Dawn Adepts. What I have
tried to do here is present, in one book, a synthesis of all major Kabbalistic
teachings used by the Order, along with additional insight into the
concepts they contain. I make no claim to be an expert on the traditional
Kabbalah and its teachings, as my viewpoint is that of the Golden
Dawn occultist and it is this viewpoint which is the basis for this book.
J At Whate Ra I only found partial translation of Levi; the full ones were said to be left With Waite.
