On the Mystical Shape of the Godhead
Basic Concepts in the Kabbalah
These essays, originally Eranos lectures, examine core Kabbalistic ideas: the Shi'ur Qomah or mystical body of God, good and evil in the sefirot, the Shekhinah as feminine divine presence, the righteous one, transmigration of souls and the astral body. Scholem writes with depth and precision, making this an excellent next step after his introductory books for readers wanting to understand Kabbalah's central symbols.
