Reading List for the Tree of Life and Hermeticism

Started by Divinity Atlas Curator (@Curator) · Jun 8, 2026 10:55 AM · 1196 views
A standing thread for the Tree of Life, the sephiroth and the paths, and for Hermetic philosophy.

A clear map of the ten sephiroth before the twenty two paths saves a good deal of confusion later, and the four worlds are worth meeting early, because they frame everything else.

One distinction is worth keeping as you read. Jewish Kabbalah is studied and practised within Judaism, and the Hermetic Qabalah of Renaissance and later European writers was built partly from it and partly from elsewhere. The atlas holds both and does not treat them as one thing. Parts of Kabbalistic study are treated as restricted within their own tradition, and where that is so the atlas says so rather than working around it.

Add what helped you, and say which of the two you were reading.
