Description
Michael A. Morgan translates Mordecai Margaliath's text of Sepher Ha-Razim, a fourth century CE magical text, into English. Sepher Ha-Razim includes a story about the book's transmission from the angel Raziel to Noah eventually down to Solomon, six sections describing the nature, function, magical praxis and angelic inhabitants of six of the heavens, and the divine throne in the seventh heaven. With parallels to Talmudic passages, Enochic literature, and Hekhaloth literature, Sepher Ha-Razim show more sheds light on Greco-Roman magic in general and more specifically Jewish life in the early centuries CE. show lessTags

The Sepher Ha-Razim is an anthology of incantations handed down by the archangel Raziel. This book was handed down to Noah of the old testament, to his descendants and eventually to King Solomon; the wisest man who ever lived. This compendium is a list of spells and castings to innumerable things: such as calling death upon people (highly not advisable to use as karma will retaliate), love poems (also not a wise spell as one should allow fate to work out its course and the auspice of god's will), protection (one can practice this spell safely) and others etc. This book is a rare esoteric book handed down by a higher being, i.e an archangel, just as the Qur'an was handed to prophet Mohamed by Archangel Gabriel. In Hindu religions rishis show more obtained their knowledge of mantras and yogas through the proliferation of (siddharth) angels- this book is so rare and if one actually comes across it and actually sits down and finishes reading it extremely auspicious portents will follow as decreed by angels (messengers) of gods show less
