DUBLIN, IRELAND — Kerubim Press, independent publisher of occult books, is proud to announce our latest publication, Kabbalah in the Golden Dawn Tradition by Frater YShY, the clearest and most complete account yet of the Kabbalistic framework on which the entire Golden Dawn system is built.
If you think you already know the Order's Kabbalah, think again! Most students meet it as a set of correspondence tables — a Sephirah, a Colour, a God Name, a Planet — and are then sent off to ancient or non-Hermetic sources to make sense of the rest. Those sources were written for other traditions, with other aims, and they leave the initiate to reconcile the differences alone. This book takes the opposite approach, treating each Kabbalistic concept as it is actually encountered in the Order's own corpus.
From the framework of the Grades to the structure of the Soul, the Tree of Life is the very architecture behind the Golden Dawn system. Frater YShY reveals this structure, taking each concept and explaining it in clear and understandable terms.
This tome offers both a crash-course introduction and a deep dive into the many elusive teachings of the Kabbalah, as portrayed in the Order's rituals and diagrams. It will undoubtedly become an instant classic, and an essential text for students and scholars of the system.
100 Copies, Signed and Numbered
Kerubim Press is offering Kabbalah in the Golden Dawn Tradition in a Limited Hardback Edition of just 100 copies for collectors and connoisseurs, with an exclusive cover as depicted above.

From the Back Cover
Behind the magic of the Golden Dawn lies the Kabbalah, giving it structure and meaning. From the framework of the Grades to the structure of the Soul, the teachings of the Tree of Life are essential to understanding the Order's material. Yet students have often been forced to turn to ancient or non-Hermetic sources to gain insight into this integral tradition.
In this book, Frater YShY goes beyond the correspondences to explain the often abstract concepts in clear and understandable terms, approaching each new Kabbalistic concept as it is experienced in the Order's corpus, making this an invaluable accompaniment to initiation.
From the foundations of Malkuth to the heights of Kether, Frater YShY takes us through the Sephiroth and Paths, delving deep into the often misunderstood subjects like the Partzufim, the Qliphoth, and the Gilgulim. All major topics are explored and clarified, giving a crash-course introduction that no student can do without.
Along the way, Frater YShY considers how the founders of the Golden Dawn received, adapted and interpreted earlier Kabbalistic ideas, while offering his own insights into their meaning and practical significance for the modern initiate.
Both a study of tradition and an exploration of the living symbolism behind it, Kabbalah in the Golden Dawn Tradition invites the reader to look beyond correspondences and diagrams to the deeper spiritual philosophy from which the Golden Dawn system emerged.
About the Author
A Chief of the Hermetic Society of the Golden Dawn, with several decades of experience with the system, Frater YShY's previous title, Adept Magic in the Golden Dawn Tradition, launched to rave reviews, with its own Limited Hardback Edition of 100 copies selling out fast. Hailed as "an example par excellence" by Aaron Leitch and "the sort of hard teaching that anyone who follows this tradition needs to know" by Nick Farrell, YShY's work earned accolades across the occult community. Chic & Sandra Tabatha Cicero said the book "cannot help but enrich the experience of modern practitioners", while Samuel Scarborough noted he was "astounded by the nature of the work presented here". Kabbalah in the Golden Dawn Tradition builds upon that legacy.Edition Record
