THE ANATOMY OF FATE
Z’ev ben Shimon Halevi (Warren Kenton) was born in London in 1933
and educated at St Martin’s School of Art and the Royal Academy of
Painting. He worked in a theatre workshop before becoming a graphic
designer. He has taught at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and was
a tutor at the Architectural Association.
He has practised Kabbalah for over thirty-five years and researched and
visited the major sites of the tradition in Israel, France, Spain and North
Africa. He runs courses on Kabbalah in Britain, on the Continent, in
North and South America and in Israel. Thirteen of his books - on
Kabbalistic psychology, astrology and cosmology, as well as an esoteric
novel - have been published under his Hebrew name. These have been
translated into ten languages, including Japanese. He lives in London
with his wife.

Figure I. Vision of upper Worlds. In this old woodcut the seeker after
Truth pierces the outer starry limit of the natural World to perceive the supernatural
World which governs stones, plants, animals and men below. Here the celestial
mechanics are operated by cosmic law under Divine guidance so that everything in
the Universe fulfils through its unfolding fate its spiritual destiny.

Figure 2. Cosmic clock. This design contains all the main laws of Astrology.
It illustrates the interaction of the levels of time, Zodiac, luminaries, planets,

Worlds.
