Ancient Angel Magic - Sefer HaRazim - The Book of Secrets - Jewish Magic

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?

[@UniversalYakov]

@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.

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]

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]

I felt that pull too

[@chewbaccasita]

@@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.

Not true at all, In fact this is the speciic reasoning behind cleaning your mind of sexual interests and other temptations that do not apply to reality. For example, a man who finds true free will breaks free of temptation, closing off those pathways that allow his autopilot to send those erect "noses". Before a time frame of a particular self mastery, one masters the sub mind and then does not have lust to ignore, meanwhile he teaches the weak efforted people to just ignore them, or die. Sadly this is the only way the vast numbers of low effort lazies will need to fall in line. If death is not the result, they will just become nihilists. Though murder does not prevent this and often becomes the demon. Point is, a True master of self does not have thoughts about other apples of his eye. His eye has become his alone. Now every mage knows your suppose to master self first otherwise you become enslaved. The ancient priests knew that in order to ensure you might talk to an Angel, You could never tell the difference prior to playing Chess with it. This means that odds are you would tangle with a demonic force posing as one of your angels and only being able to master a demon would ensure success in getting the legit source online. Of course this was warning dished out to those who think them self psychic mediums, was it E.Z. who said walk lightly when entertaining demons? Id say that is english for, ITS NOT YOUR FREAKING FAMILY MEMEBERS THEY CHANNEL. Ergo secrets may not exist in this place. Point is, To be able to receive a note tied to a soft bright white fuzzy things foot, You hope its Jesus or Holy, But anyone can make any message bright warm and fuzzy, in fact they all should be The conduit itself has this effect ergo it looks bright, white and fuzzy. Point is, MOST Of those messages are FAKE NEWS. So even the most Holy men had to learn to master demons. Solomon looks a bit odd like he entertains them but, If our priest class is to master the demons to I.D. them as demonic , well you likely should reject them, I suppose it appears unmoral to do so. But if you had mastered and I.D. it than you have mastery over self and this force. Using it can not then become an issue because you gained total mastery. So no you will not fell the demon if you won the Game and in order to befell Holy, You must be able to wrestle a demon from trying to use the holy conduit for something HolI. Dont mistake, Your scribes, learned these tactics because the Phone Line for Angels is being Cyber attacked by every criminal with the technology to use that conduit.. You have to enslave loads of demonic orces before you will realize a legit Holy force. In my opinion. A camel must be on his knees to cross the eye of the needle.

"They ˹instead˺ followed the magic promoted by the devils during the reign of Solomon. Never did Solomon disbelieve, rather the devils disbelieved. They taught magic to the people, along with what had been revealed to the two angels, Hârût and Mârût, in Babylon.1 The two angels never taught anyone without saying, “We are only a test ˹for you˺, so do not abandon ˹your˺ faith.” Yet people learned ˹magic˺ that caused a rift ˹even˺ between husband and wife; although their magic could not harm anyone except by Allah’s Will. They learned what harmed them and did not benefit them-although they already knew that whoever buys into magic would have no share in the Hereafter.

[@johnhexfury2003]

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]

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.

That's a reoccurring theme that I dont understand. Does that just rest upon the general consensus (I'm assuming this) of the time that menstruation is some form of "impurity"? Is there ever a reason given as to *why* its impure? Is it because it's related to biological functioning of genetalia or reproductive systems, and that part of the body in general is "impure"? Is there ever a reason given for this?

Sabrina KrisB great question. I’m also curious, in my culture we were taught something just as silly... like never get your hair cut by a pregnant or menstruating woman. Where these superstitions come from always mind boggled me as well...

[@TheEsotericaChannel]

Thanks for saying so! And this is a very sophisticated question that I have to admit not having an adequate answer for. At least in Judaism the concepts of ritually pure (טהרה) and ritually impure (טומאה) are non-ethical states that both men and women are susceptible to. For instance, contact with a corpse renders one ritually impure. This state generally means the ability to perform various ritual functions and engage in the full range of social interactions. Like many cultures, it is a system of taboos that have developed over time. For instance, in the Islamicate context, it is my understanding that the saliva of a dog is also impure. The exact origins of these taboos are pretty obscure though I would lean into the idea that they have their origins in (1) the need to control women's bodies, especially along lines of fertility and (2) pre-modern theories of contagion, likely among other factors. Mary Douglas' Purity and Danger is a great starting point for studying these ideas though she did heavily revise her ideas later in her thinking. But, you raise a crucial question and I'm sorry I don't have a better answer for you - thanks for raising it!

@@TheEsotericaChannel It seems like menstruation is given to the human species by the Creator God and therefore, should not be pure or impure. It just is. Anything other than that is saying the Creator God created an imperfection, if this makes any sense. Or am I way off base?

So, they are talking about the 7 Chakras? just refered to as layers of heaven?, excuse my ignorance but its just a correlation I noticed

[@snail8720]

7 is a common typological number, and is used in different religions to denote different things.

Thank you doctor , well done.

Wow 😱😲😳 just received images, pictured, symbol etc. Imagin the tryangle shapes , then being able to moving, switching, changing, changing it into different directions, while still able to create other shapes from the same image like the Volknu and the star etc. It was almost like a flash of triangles moving over the top of each out and changing into different shapes constantly constantly moving ❤💜💙💚💛🧡🙉🙊🙈

I have a question about the horse racing one. Say there are twelve horses. Twelve men who know this spell come the night before, each at different times, obviously, and bury a plate beneath each lane. Which one wins? They can't all win. I seriously doubt there are actually that many people well enough versed in this spell to do it, much less all at the same track, but I am still curious as to what would happen there. (Edited my spelling! 🤣)

I grew up going to Jewish day school. We did a lot of prayers. One thing that has struck me from looking at your videos and remembering prayers from when I was in school and in synagogue for the holidays is that a lot of these spells remind me of prayers. Obviously theres ritual, but prayers have ritual too. Is there any thought that spells and prayers are actually the same thing or sprung up from each other?

[@TowerArcanaCrow]

As a pagan, spells and prayer are very close to the same thing, I imagine it's the same for any faith. It's a method of requesting a change in yourself or the world through your higher power. When it comes to Abrahamic faiths I especially see rituals that are far heavier in prayer than anything else.

[@silverlightsonSLS]

Prayers are used to request changes from God directly (spells are prohibited in monotheistic faith). Spells from magical prospective is to call some spiritual and powerful entities (by their names, symbols...) to help you, using your internal (intent, faith, emotion...), natural (herbs, stones, metals...) and astrological energy to achieve that.
