The Internet is full of web sites on "Sefer Yetzirah" (also spelled as Sefer Yesirah, Sefer Yezirah or Sefer Yezira, among other spellings).

Many of these sites have been online for years and provide a good source of understanding and personal commentaries.

Some of these links have been hard to find. Many go out of service, have become password protected to limit outside visitors or have changed their focus or domain.

One great discovery is a Polish web site with Hebrew texts of several version of Sefer Yetzirah along with other great Kabbalah works. Be sure to visit the resources at HEBREJSKÁ KNIHOVNA KABALISTICKCH. Download a free pdf of this manuscript and a sample of the new "Kabbalah's Secret Circles."

The Sefer Yetzirah text in Hebrew and English can easily be found on the Internet. Below are some sites with the Hebrew texts.

Since the Sefer Yetzirah is open to much interpretation, controversy and discussion, there is one true, difinitve source. A true Qabalist must take all of the sources into context and decide which combinations suit their own path.

Book of Formation or Sepher Yetzirah:
Attributed to Rabbi Akiba Ben Joseph

by R. A. Gilbert (Foreword),
Arthur Edward Waite (Editor, Introduction), Knut Stenring (Translator)

Stenring has made a word-for-word translation from several texts, choosing only those parts which he believed to be authentic. He reveals the text’s secrets in his diagrams, tables, and extensive notes. His "Master Key to the Theoretical and Practical Kabala" is a diagram of the correspondences between the English and Hebrew alphabets and is not found in other translations of the Sepher Yetzirah. The introduction by Waite surveys the historical background of the Sepher Yetzirah translations and the import of this foundational Kabbalistic text. Knut Stenring was a Swedish Hebrew scholar. He published this work in 1923.

A selection from INTRODUCTION: The "Sepher Yetzirah," or "Book of Formation," is perhaps the oldest Rabbinical treatise of Kabalistic philosophy which is still extant. The great interest which has been evinced of 1ate years in the Hebrew Kabalah, and the modes of thought and doctrine allied to it, has induced me to translate this tractate from the original Hebrew texts, and to collate with them the Latin versions of mediaeval authorities; and I have also published An Introduction to the Kabalah which may be found useful to students. Three important books of the "Zohar," or "Book of Splendour," which is a great storehouse of Kabalistic teaching, have been translated into English by S. L. MacGregor Mathers, and the "Sepher Yetzirah" in an English translation is almost a necessary companion to these abstruse disquisitions: the two books indeed mutually explain each other.
