Jetzirah, Sepher +

The most occult of all the Kabalistic works now in the possession of modern mystics. Its alleged origin, of having been written by Abraham, is of course nonsense; but its intrinsic value is great. It is composed of six ''Perakim ''(chapters), subdivided into ''thirty‐three ''short ''Mishnas ''or Sections; and treats of the evolution of the Universe on a system of correspondences and numbers. Deity is said therein to have formed (“created”) the Universe by means of numbers “by thirty‐two paths (or ways) of secret wisdom ”, these ways being made to correspond with the twenty‐two letters of the Hebrew alphabet and the ten fundamental numbers. These ten are the primordial numbers whence proceeded the whole Universe, and these are followed by the twenty‐two letters divided into Three Mothers, the seven double consonants and the twelve simple consonants. He who would well understand the system is advised to read the excellent little treatise upon ''Sepher Jetzirah, ''by Dr. W. WynnWestcott. (See “Yetzirah”.)
