Hermetic Qabalah...

Hi,

Just wondering if anybody here studies/and/or practises upon the hermetic Qabalah, the tree of life, ritual magick, spiritual alchemy, tantric practices or any other strain of hermetic culture.

What do you do?
How does this help you or hinder you in regards to practical alchemy experimentation?
Can you describe any profound moments in this broader scope of works that has influenced your understanding of practical alchemical theory?

From the little knowledge I have of the qabalah and ritual magick, I can say that my relationship towards the elements for example have been greatly influenced from lab work, aswell as reading books like 'the golden chain of homer'.

Thanks for any comments.

I am a Qabalist.

I practice the high arts illustrated in the greater and lesser keys. Sacred geometry and numerology and general sorcery. I can attest that these pursuits have absolutely aided me in alchemical pursuits.

Also, these auxiliary practices broadened my understanding of etheric energy. The stone represents how low level demiurgic technology has the capability of literally changing something (a lesser metal) into something different (Au)
