I wanted to read this book to see the approach to psalm magick, however then i carried on and read the whole book. The author is very knowledgeable of kabbala and other ancient traditional occultic books. However, applicability of amulets and talismans depend on howmuch hebrew practitioner knows. Because everything in the book is based on old Jewish rituals. The balance between theory and practice is well adjusted by him. Even if the practicioner repeats the hebrew god names in his/her rituals, his/her deepmind wont get it anyway.

Me fascinan los conceptos, las historias. No tanto así los rituales. Lo mejor para mí de la Qabbalah son las enseñanzas practica. El poder de las historias. El poder de la palabra y de la intención. El autor me ha fascinado con las partes que son recuentos históricos. Me ha abierto los ojos al Talmud. Que yo ni conocía. Y es hoy para mí una especie de podcast de genios rabinos de hace 1700 años. Me ha quedado claro, viendo lo antiguo que llega a ser todo el asunto de la magia, que es real. ¿Pero por qué? Como dice Neville Goddard: la imaginación es la única realidad.

El libro me ha dejado muchas ideas. Y espero poder comprar el otro libro del autor, aquel que menciona en este libro y que parece se tratará más de conceptos e historia que de rituales. ¡Fantástico!

It was very nice to have a book on Kabbalistic magic that focuses specifically on the Jewish Kabbalah rather than the Hermetic one. The only criticism I have of it is that it doesn’t really address modernization of ancient rituals. A lot of this could probably be made more realistic to modern people.
