Qabbalistic Magic: Talismans, Psalms, Amulets, and the Practice of High Ritual

by Salomo Baal-Shem, Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki (Foreword)

A comprehensive guide to practicing the magic of the Qabbalah

• Spells for everyday problems related to health, love, prosperity, and protection

• Rituals for advanced high-level magic, such as invocation of angelic powers or spiritual vision

• Explains how to make and design talismans, amulets, and magic bowls, including harnessing the power of Hebrew letters in their designs

• Details the magical uses of 150 psalms

The Qabbalah--the Jewish esoteric tradition--is richly woven with magical practices, from amulets and magic bowls to invocations and magical use of psalms. In this comprehensive and practical guide to Qabbalistic magic, Salomo Baal-Shem explains how to authentically perform rituals from the Qabbalistic tradition.

The spells and rituals included range from basic “everyday” magic for health, prosperity, love, protection, and prophetic dreams to advanced high-level magic such as invoking the highest angelic powers or creating an astral life-form, or Golem. Revealing the occult teachings of the 4th-century Book of the Mysteries, the magical uses of 150 psalms, and how to harness the power of Hebrew letters in talisman designs, the author also shows you how to contact the Maggid, or Divine inner teacher, or attain the spiritual vision of the Merkabah. A thoroughly accessible guide to the magic of the Qabbalah, this book also covers the underlying spiritual principles and history of these powerful magical practices.

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.
