The Sefer HaRazim ( Book of Secrets / Mysteries) is an ancient Jewish book of angel magic dating to the 3rd or 4th century CE. It was discovered in the Cairo Genizah in the 1960's in fragments and was edited together over the course of three years by Mordecai‏ Margalioth. In the text we find descriptions of the seven heavens, angelic military formations, and magical spells corresponding to the various heavens and angels. Sefer HaRazim is an interesting combination of both Merkabah mysticism (in which mystics 'descend' to the throne of the Divine through the palaces of G-d) and the sophisticated technologies of Greco-Egyptian magic. This episode explores the text in depth, several of the spells, angelic names and the long-standing impact of this kind of angelic magic on later traditions of magical practice.

Shalom Dr. Justin! Legit question: How do we know our modern science and technology isnt what the Torah called forbidden magic?

@jP190--_ 3 года назад

@Irish Jester what I meant to say is, the Greek work Pharmakia is translated as "sorcery " in the new testament. But obviously Pharmaceuticals share this etymological root. And utilizing radio waves and EMF, and electricity would be "invisible forces" to the ancient mind. So who's to say we dont live in a world of sorcery to the mind of those who wrote these ancient texts?

I can’t help but noticed the perfect intention of this Event and their pre cursors. From The Vietnam War to The Burning Monk to the present. When The Buddha burnt himself, that was when he became the god of death. So there is a word in Vietnamese which I feel to hold significance in understanding Creation. It is “thấy”. In literal translation, it means “see”. But it actually means “to see and to feel”. “Tôi thấy khỏe”. In literal translation it is “I see healthy”. But it actually means “I see-feel healthy”. When it comes to magic and God, it’s more likely to be this “see-feel”. When you see-feel The Infinite Intelligent Energy, you can draw from it to do magic.

@TheEsotericaChannel 4 года назад

Judaism and magic have had a long relationship. Indeed, the Sefer HaRazim is older than the Babylonian Talmud! So, it seems to me that if someone were doing both they could appeal to a long tradition.

Reading through the comments has helped me greatly. I've been in search for this kind of content wondering if it's true and for some reason I've been drawn to it. I'm very intrigued by the whole subject. For 5 years I've felt this pulling toward the Torah and hebrew teachings but I stayed away due to my upbringing. I'm not afraid of it anymore and I'm definitely going to keep learning more about it and practice it more. I'm glad I came across this video it's been very helpful.

@chewbaccasita 3 года назад

Jewish tradition teaches that there are two complementary aspects of the torah that was given at Sinai. Commonly called the oral and the written. It’s vital to learn the Hebrew alphabet and hopefully to even read and understand Hebrew in order to begin to receive these traditions. A very deep understanding of the alphabet is necessary in order to begin to scratch the surface of these secrets. For somebody beginning to have an interest assuming they’ve already learned the five Books of Moses (in their entirety and not in a Christian translation) I would recommend the book of proverbs from the written torah and the ethics of the fathers from the oral.

@marinatessmer1116 3 года назад

I felt that pull too

@chewbaccasita 3 года назад

@@marinatessmer1116 Please know that this text is not a part of the corpus of the torah. It’s a fascinating and important text and I personally ordered it because of my interest in the hermetic tradition. The interface of mostly forgotten Jewish practices with ancient occult ones is incredible. But because this is ultimately a hellenist text it leads away from the torah not towards it. Make sure you understand that distinction it’s very important.

I suspect the Cairo Synagogue Ben Ezra’s Genizah fragments might bring to light some additional magickal texts or even some ‘Zadokite’ Dead Sea Scroll like material as the Damascus Document (CD) which turn’d out to be a copy of the Serek Yahadim (‘Rule for the Camps of Yisro’el for All the Sons of Light in the Last Days’) - sadly only 20% of Solomon Schechter’s fragments have been translated & publish’d so far - which certainly contain valuable mediaeval copies of dozens of rarely known writings ...

@johnhexfury2003 4 года назад

Interesting video. I have a somewhat related question that I think you might have input on given the topics of your videos. Im really interested in the Book of Enoch chapter CVI and its description of Noahs birth. Noah at birth is described as follows: “And his body was white as snow and red as the blooming of a rose, and the hair of his head and his long locks were white as wool, and his eyes beautiful. And when he opened his eyes, he lighted up the whole house like the sun, and the whole house was very bright. And thereupon he arose in the hands of the midwife, opened his mouth, and conversed with the Lord of righteousness.” I cant help but think this description is a metaphor for the Amanita Mascara mushroom, since its also white as snow, red like a rose, and has “hair” on its head that feels like wool. When consumed, it also makes the room brighter. Is it possible this description is a metaphor for mushroom?

@TheEsotericaChannel 4 года назад

It's an interesting hypothesis but honestly I couldn't say one way or the other. The symbolism(s) at work in many of the these ancient texts have valences that are truly difficult to understand from the point of view of the author. I will also say that there is no doubt, to my mind, an anti-psychedelic bias that operates in academia which I find to be unhelpful. That said, for me, I try to follow the evidence the best I can and when there isn't enough for me to make a conclusion I try my best not to.
