Daniel, Master of Magicians/Name of Names

by Paul Foster Case

The first section of this tiny work is a fine discussion of what the Bible really says about astrology, using as a backdrop the story of Daniel (also known as Belteshazzar), the "rab chartomia" or "chief astrologer/master of magicians" in Nebuchadnezzar's court.

The second part of the booklet is a discussion of what Christian Kabbalists would call the pentegrammaton, the 5-lettered Name of God (or "Name of Names"), and its relation to the tetragrammaton, or 4-lettered ineffable Name of God, found in the Hebrew Bible.

This is a first-rate eye-opening (and hopefully mind-changing) set of very original essays by Paul Case. An intelligent view of the subject matter, with examination of the relevant Hebrew words underlying the Biblical text.

[Tony]

An amazing short book detailing the esoteric significance of the book of Daniel, and the esoteric meaning of Jesus’ name. Here, as in all his works, Paul Foster Case demonstrated his incredible breadth of knowledge and genius. Though very short the booklet carries densely packed information. This makes it worth re-reading while referencing other works, in particular the Book of Daniel and various verses of the New Testament.
