Synopsis
Just as the alphabet can be used to tell a story, so--according to Kabbalistic belief--did God use the symbols of ancient Hebrew to create the universe. Rachel Pollack is one of the leading authorities of the Tarot, and here she explores the Kabbalah in a non-dogmatic manner, linking it to the Tarot and numerology in its ability to divine the future and deconstruct the mythic building blocks of the multi-dimensional universe. Pollack explores key ideas concerning the "tree of life" throughout man's spiritual history, linking it with the Christian cross, the tree of Odin, the Christmas tree, the tree of knowledge from which Eve got the apple, and so on. Also explored are the 10 points on the tree of life, and their corresponding Hebrew symbols, words, and interrelation to one another. This is a fascinating book: accessible and thought-provoking, regardless of one's religious affiliation. Included is a fold-out poster of the book's cover art, a multi-layered painting of the tree of life by Hermann Haindl (whose amazing Tarot deck has been extensively written about by Pollack) which makes for a lovely addition to an already invaluable book.

Industry reviews
"[A] detailed, yet interesting read. Well organized and copiously referenced, Pollack does a fine job of combining the Jewish, Western and Christian traditions associated with the Kabbalah Tree of Life. [A]nyone searching for a multicultural approach to the Kabbalah will not be disappointed." Publishers Weekly (04/26/2004)

The Kabbalah Tree: A Journey of Balance & Growth by Rachel Pollack. 170 page paperback + Hermann Haindl Tree of Life poster in new condition.

Tied closely to an intricate painting by Hermann Haindl, this comprehensive look at the tradition of the Tree of Life is part art extrapolation, part multi-denominational history. The "journey of balance and growth" refers as much to the painting itself and the growth of the artist as to the spread of the mythology of the Tree in a multitude of cultures. After barely surviving a WWII prison camp, young Haindl returned to Germany and became a stage designer and theatre director. His artistic prowess gained enough recognition that Golda Meir commissioned him to paint an enormous mural commemorating the 25th anniversary of Israel. Soon after, he embarked on a quest to merge spirituality and art, the result of which led to a fascination with both the Tarot and the Kabbalah. Pollack and Haindl met when she was asked to write a text to accompany his now-famed Tarot deck. This, their second collaboration, makes for a detailed yet interesting read. Well organized and copiously referenced, Pollack does a fine job of combining the Jewish, Western and Christian traditions associated with the Kabbalah Tree of Life. Particularly well done are the chapters describing in detail the 10 sephiroth, or "divine emanations." Along with a handful of line drawings, the included poster of Haindl's painting becomes integral for a true understanding of the connections within the tree.
