Israel Katz Quotes

Waite, from where I sit, had about as much insight into that [the personality link to the Minor cards] and other matters as my beautiful Siamese cats. If anything, I have a sneaking suspicion that his artist, Pamela Coleman [sic] Smith, also a member of The Golden Dawn, was a strange clairvoyant creature whose inner vision must have had a greater effect on Waite than Waite did on her. Furthermore, I have always suspected that the real shining light behind this and so many of the other Golden Dawn concepts emanated from the fertile brain and vision of MacGregor-Mathers about whom we know so very little. —Israel Regardie, in a letter to Muriel Hasbrouck, October 25,

I agree with Art Katz who said, “The State of Israel exists not for its success but for its necessary failure;”[305] that is, that through the “death”[306] of the unbelieving and unrepentant political State the glorious “resurrection” of the prophetically promised Nation will come.[307] This is the inner-most meaning of Ezekiel’s vision of the “Valley of the Dry Bones” in Ezekiel 37.
