The Zohar - The Book of Splendor
The Zohar, or Book of Splendor, is a major work of the Jewish spiritual tradition and the most accomplished expression of Kabbalah. Derived from an extensive commentary on the Law, organized according to the structure of the first five books of the Bible, this work presents selected excerpts here. They were chosen for the richness of their imagery in evoking inner life, for the subtlety of their interpretation of the Scriptures, and for the variety of reflections they develop around the soul, lived faith, human love and divine love, suffering and death, exile and redemption.
In the introduction, Gershom Scholem, an international authority in the study of Jewish mysticism, provides an overview of current knowledge about this fundamental work and the figure of its author.

Buy The Zohar or Book of Splendor in our esoteric shop
The Zohar or Book of Splendor holds a central place in the Jewish spiritual tradition and in the history of Kabbalah. Derived from an extensive commentary on the Law, it follows the structure of the first five books of the Bible and unfolds a dense, symbolic, and deeply inner reading of the Scriptures. The work presented here gathers selected excerpts, chosen for the power of their imagery and their ability to make an inner life shaped by the sacred text tangible. This approach allows a gradual entry into a demanding work without losing the richness of its thought.
An inner exploration carried by the text
The selected passages offer a broad reflection on the soul, faith lived daily, the links between human love and divine love, as well as the great trials of existence. Suffering, death, exile, and redemption find a central place here, not as abstract concepts, but as experiences thought through the language of the Scriptures. The proposed reading highlights the subtlety of biblical interpretation and the text’s ability to make the visible and invisible, the earthly world and a higher reality, converse.
Essential historical and intellectual insight
The work opens with an introduction by Gershom Scholem, a major figure in the academic study of Kabbalah. He provides a precise overview of the knowledge surrounding the Zohar, its composition, and the figure to whom it is attributed. This perspective offers clear landmarks on the historical and intellectual context of the work, while leaving the text itself all its evocative power. Altogether, it provides a solid and structured access to one of the foundations of kabbalistic thought.
Gershom Gerhard Scholem was a historian of religions and philologist born in Berlin on December 5, 1897, and died in Jerusalem on February 21, 1982. He is universally recognized as the leading modern expert on Jewish mysticism, particularly Kabbalah. Scholem played a major role in establishing the study of Jewish mysticism as a serious academic discipline, beyond its traditionally marginal status.
Coming from an assimilated Jewish family, he learned Hebrew and the Talmud in his youth, then studied philosophy, Semitic languages, and religion in Berlin, Jena, Bern, and Munich. In 1922, he defended a thesis on an ancient Kabbalistic text, Sefer ha-Bahir.
In 1923, he emigrated to Mandatory Palestine and became a librarian, then a professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where he taught the history and philosophy of Jewish mysticism and Kabbalah starting in 1925. He held this chair for decades and helped found the modern study of these traditions.

We believe in all forms of magic.
High magic and its rigorous rituals deserve as much respect as spells passed down in the countryside. We read grimoires, respect rites, listen to old stories. Everything practiced with faith deserves serious and curious attention.
We welcome all traditions.
We don’t put one path above another. We talk hoodoo, kabbalah, Christian prayers, elemental magic, folk rituals, Celtic symbols. What matters is respect. Not the label.
