Sir Palamede the Saracen

[V]

I am trying to understand this story in terms of progress of the kabalah.
I really don't understand this story in a deeper sense. It would help if I had some kind of analysis for this. Is there one available?

Its not even mentioned in "Star in the West" for some reason!

Thanks

It was written later than Star in the West.

One generally needs to disentangle this one on one's own. In fact, doing so is one of the traditional questions on the A.'.A.'. Student exam; so it wouldn't do to have standardized analyses sitting around available.

PS - So you've already determined that the right framework of analysis is in terms of Qabalah?

Ok, thats understandable.
Yes, thats all I've got so far unfortunately. I have read it 3 times. There are so many obscure references. This seems to be a common trend in all of Crowleys work. How can I get better at understanding such works? I have been studying a lot of greek dramas and understand a small handful of references now. But there is still a huge chunk missing :s

how do I fill this gap!

It may help to keep in mind that this book is essentially Crowley's autobiography to that point in time, mythologized in the style of the classic tale of Christian Rosenkreutz.

Ok thank you!

So I should probably read Confessions at this point, I gather. Can you recommend a good title so I can become familiar with the tale of Christian Rosenkreutz?

Thanks!

And yes, I am writing my student exam
