“The Hermetic Tree of Life is a detailed and comprehensive guide to all aspects of personal growth. Using the ten sephiroth as an organizational framework, Mistele gives clear instructions for developing various spiritual qualities as well as valuable insights into what it means to make the best choices in life.” * Virgil, Christian magician and author of The Spirit of Magic and The Elemental Equilibrium * “Mistele has distilled thousands of years of wisdom into an accessible and practical guide for anyone who wants to ensure that humanity thrives and succeeds. He elucidates the many nuances within classic metaphysical domains while teaching us how to fully autonomize as a species and become conscious architects of our future.” * Elyrria Swann, author of How to Become a Mermaid * “William Mistele is one of the few Goldilocks magicians practicing— not too hot and not too cold. This ‘just rightness,’ how easy it is to overshoot or undershoot the supernatural world, is often overlooked: it doesn’t matter whether you miss by a little or a lot. Mistele shows what it takes to not miss, to find the numinous in the maze of the obvious.” * Richard Grossinger, author of Bottoming Out the Universe and Dreamtimes and Thoughtforms *
