From the introduction: Q.B.L. is a masterpiece of Qabalah and controversy. Its importance to the world of modern occult literature can be measured not only by its value as a remarkable, understandable textbook of the fundamental principles of Qabalah, but also by the way it offers us a rare glimpse into the heart and mind of a brilliant and sincere seeker of wisdom and truth. Q.B.L. is a unique work in both Qabalah and Thelemic circles. In the world of the Qabalah, Frater Achad revealed revolutionary new principles that caused students of the Qabalah to reexamine and thus deepen their knowledge of the Tree of Life. In Thelemic circles, Aleister Crowley named Frater Achad his magical heir and Achad was fully expected to lead the cause of Thelemic Magick after Crowley's death - until publication of this book caused a rift between the two and Crowley began to distance himself from Achad. This is a rare and valuable book, both for its insight and circumstances. True understanding of the Qabalah and its benefit in magical practice is clearly described, and the information contained is both practical and revelatory. The circumstances surrounding it - Frater Achad's falling out with Crowley and eventual descent into apparent insanity - prove a valuable lesson and warning for individual seekers and those associated with established mystery schools.… (más)

One of the clearer expositions of the Qabalistic Tree of Life and its relationship to the Tarot. Although much in line with Crowley's 777 and the Egyptian mythos underlying The Law Is For All, it does not align with Crowley's Thoth Tarot deck but references Waite's instead, which could bring some confusion depending on where you're coming from. Still, this work would appear to offer a very serviceable introduction to the Tree Of Life, the Tarot, and the fascinating nexus between them. ( )

Q.B.L., autorstwa Fratra Achada, to Dzieło pod wieloma względami wyjątkowe. Przede wszystkim jest to pierwsze i jak dotąd najlepsze wprowadzenie w arkana hermetycznej kabały, która wykształciła się w obrębie Bractwa Srebrnej Gwiazdy. Szczegółowo omawia ono strukturę, dynamikę i symbolikę kabalistycznego Drzewa Życia, zestawiając ją m.in. z alfabetem hebrajskim, Tarotem i systemem stopni A.’.A.’.. Autor przedstawia w nim również podstawowe metody pracy z kabałą takie jak Gematria, Notarikon i Temura oraz wyjaśnia w jaki sposób za pośrednictwem Liber AL Thelema jest powiązana z kabałą.

Dzieło to jest niezwykłe jednak nie tylko ze względu na swą wartość merytoryczną. Jest ono również żywym świadectwem transformatywnej mocy kabały. Jego powstanie łączy się z magiczną przemianą jaka zaszła w życiu Fratra Achada i stworzeniem przez niego Nowego Układu Drzewa Życia, który zapoczątkował tzw. mistykę Odwróconego Drzewa. Odkrycia jakich dokonał zostały dołączone do tego dzieła w formie apendyksów zawierających bezpośrednie wypisy z magicznego dziennika autora.

Lektura Q.B.L. stanowi zarówno wprowadzenie w tajniki thelemicznej kabały jak i może stanowić impuls do stworzenia własnego systemu. Nauki w niej zawarte, udzielane są w duchu Naukowego Illuminizmu, a wiec wyzbyte dogmatów i sekciarskiej ortodoksji. Z tego powodu studia nad tym traktatem zalecane są członkom Zewnętrznego Kolegium A.’.A.’. i Świątyni Mentu.

The main body of this volume is an adequate primer on the hermetic qabala. Charles Stansfeld Jones reproduces nearly verbatim the heuristic theory of qabala originated by his spiritual father Aleister Crowley, with its central metaphor of the 'filing cabinet.' (Crowley himself did not publish this theory until several years later in Magick in Theory & Practice.)

Most notable, however, are the appendices to this book, where Jones first advanced the scheme of his "restored" Tree of Life, revising the entire system of qabalistic correspondences on the basis of his individual intuitions. Crowley was disappointed in the general style of the book, and criticized its unorthodox content as “imbecility.” In obvious allusion to Jones, he wrote in Magick in Theory & Practice:

"One who ought to have known better tried to improve the Tree of Life by turning the Serpent of Wisdom upside down! Yet he could not even make his scheme symmetrical: his little remaining good sense revolted at the supreme atrocities. Yet he succeeded in reducing the whole Magical Alphabet to nonsense, and shewing that he had never understood its real meaning."

Jones went on to affirm and develop his Restored Tree in later works: The Anatomy of the Body of God and The Egyptian Revival. But Crowley's criticism was well-founded; and Jones' insistence on an idiosyncratic system of correspondences, cutting himself off from deep precedent symbolism, was in fact symptomatic of his tendency to "shut himself up" in the false emanation of Knowledge. Despite the occasional embrace of the Restored Tree by later magicians (Benjamin Rowe is a signal instance), Jones' peculiar filing cabinet sits in an shadowy office where little real work is done.
