Hi Everyone,

Thanks for the welcome Samme. I somewhat burst into the pod last night when I discovered a reference to “The Art of Memory” by Frances Yates. I think it would have been good to have “knocked” first but it is nice to be here with you all.

I don't know much about Kabbalah. I first became interested in esoteric traditions through astrology which I studied for a while and then tarot which I still use. My main practice is Zen Buddhism but I also feel drawn to the Westeren mystical tradition - perhaps it is linked to the landscape, growing up in England. I came by two practical guides to inner alchemy; one by David Goddard involves Kabbalah and I have been using it for a year or so.

I look forward to learning more about Kabbalah and how it relates to other esoteric practices.

Good wishes,

James.
