(p. 225, The Selected Letters of Philip K. Dick: 1977-1979, ed. Don Herron, Underwood Books, 1993.)
Amidst the rich panoply of Jewish Kabbalah, Abraham Abulafia (1240-1291) resonates the most with modern, philosophically-minded seekers of direct mystical experience. Abulafia was unique amongst Jewish mystics in providing precise instructions for personal spiritual practice. Despite a severe rabbinical ban, the subterranean influence of Abulafia’s complex of ideas and meditation techniques is evident upon many central figures in the history of Religion and Philosophy, including Chaim Vital, Pico della Mirandola and Spinoza.

Guides to the Underworld
We've been producing our Guides since 2009 and have over 60 titles in print. From Jake Stratton-Kent's Spirit Work series, Catholic folk magic, Hoodoo, stellar magic, lunar magic, translations of historical treatises on magic, and enough practical magic to fill a lifetime, the Guides are an indispensable part of your magical journey.
In this series of pamphlets we adhere to:
"...the second idea of the radix of the word Pamphlet... that it takes its derivations from παν, 'all', and φιλεω, 'I love', signifying a thing beloved by all; for a pamphlet being of a small portable bulk, and of no great price, is adapted to every one's understanding and reading." (Curiosities of Literature, and the Literary Character Illustrated, Disraeli & Griswold, 1846, p. 91)
Because magic is for everyone.
