Book Description
Advancing to higher levels of ritual magic with purpose and power requires an exaltation of consciousness-a spiritual transformation that can serve as an antitode to the seeming banality of modern life. Based on Kabbalistic techniques, the teachings of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and an Hermetic tradition spanning nearly two thousand years, this innovative new work introduces the history of the Golden Dawn and its mythology, the Tree of Life, Deities, demons, rules for practicing magic, and components of effective ritual. A comprehensive course of self-initiation using Israel Regardie's seminal Golden Dawn as a key reference point, Kabbalah, Magic and the Great Work of Self-Transformation guides you through the levels of the Golden Dawn system of ritual magic. Each grade in this system corresponds with a sphere in the Kabbalistic Tree of Life and includes daily rituals, required reading, written assignments, projects, and additional exercises. Knowledgeable and true to tradition, author Lyam Thomas Christopher presents a well-grounded and modern step-by-step program toward spiritual attainment, providing a lucid gateway toward a more awakened state.

Kabbalah, Magic, and Science

Author: David B. Ruderman
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 9780674496606
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 260

Book Description
In describing the career of Abraham Yagel, a Jewish physician, kabbalist, and naturalist who lived in northern Italy from 1553 to about 1623, David Ruderman observes the remarkable interplay between early modern scientific thought and religious and occult traditions from a wholly new perspective: that of Jewish intellectual life. Whether he was writing about astronomical discoveries, demons, marvelous creatures and prodigies of nature, the uses of magic, or reincarnation, Yagel made a consistent effort to integrate empirical study of nature with kabbalistic and rabbinic learning. Yagel's several interests were united in his belief in the interconnectedness of all thing--a belief, shared by many Renaissance thinkers, that turns natural phenomena into "signatures" of the divine unity of all things. Ruderman argues that Yagel and his coreligionists were predisposed to this prevalent view because of occult strains in traditional Jewish thought He also suggests that underlying Yagel's passion for integrating and correlating all knowledge was a powerful psychological need to gain cultural respect and acceptance for himself and for his entire community, especially in a period of increased anti-Semitic agitation in Italy. Yagel proposed a bold new agenda for Jewish culture that underscored the religious value of the study of nature, reformulated kabbalist traditions in the language of scientific discourse so as to promote them as the highest form of human knowledge, and advocated the legitimate role of the magical arts as the ultimate expression of human creativity in Judaism. This portrait of Yagel and his intellectual world will well serve all students of late Renaissance and early modern Europe.

Enochian Magic and Kabbalah

Author: Joshua Free
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform

Category : Cabala
Languages : en
Pages : 0

Book Description
FIFTH ANNIVERSARY EDITION For the first time in modern history, the true origins of Judaic Mysticism (the Kabbalah), Christian spiritual beliefs and other derived practices of ceremonial magic (such as the Enochian system, Hermetics and Golden Dawn methods) can now be traced directly to the archetypal 'Sky-God' traditions of the prehistoric Mesopotamians: The post-Sumerian Babylonian "Star-Gate" system dedicated to the Anunnaki. Prolific writer, Joshua Free, brings together what is known of the ancient "Ladder of Lights," the BAB.ILI system that constitutes the original "Tree of Life" 'kabbalah' found graphically present on ancient renderings and its connections to the later Judeo-Christian traditions and the evolution of human understanding of "Anunnaki," "Igigi" and other sky-beings into the Hebrew renderings of the "Nephilim," "Anakim," "Elohim" and the like. ENOCHIAN MAGIC & THE KABBALAH illustrates the singular origin of the mystical and spiritual traditions on the planet, all directed toward a human relationship with the "Divine," however that might be viewed -- angels, elementals, fairies, gods or other 'alien' beings -- and more importantly, the methods by which they have been attracted into one's life. Since all of our available traditions today seem linked to these antiquated 'Divine Encounters', it seems fitting to make a self-honest exploration of the nature of these origins of belief and how they may affect our abilities to perceive the world and affect reality today. Practical lore drawn from thousands of years of tradition -- both ancient and modern -- is brought together to form the official "Mardukite" handbook of Enochian Ceremonial Magic and the Kabbalistic "Tree of Life" -- a first of its kind and much needed for the advancement of the "New Age"!

Kabbalah and Sex Magic

Author: Marla Segol
Publisher: Penn State Press
ISBN: 0271091053
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 311

Book Description
In this provocative book, Marla Segol explores the development of the kabbalistic cosmology underlying Western sex magic. Drawing extensively on Jewish myth and ritual, Segol tells the powerful story of the relationship between the divine and the human body in late antique Jewish esotericism, in medieval kabbalah, and in New Age ritual practice. Kabbalah and Sex Magic traces the evolution of a Hebrew microcosm that models the powerful interaction of human and divine bodies at the heart of both kabbalah and some forms of Western sex magic. Focusing on Jewish esoteric and medical sources from the fifth to the twelfth century from Byzantium, Persia, Iberia, and southern France, Segol argues that in its fully developed medieval form, kabbalah operated by ritualizing a mythos of divine creation by means of sexual reproduction. She situates in cultural and historical context the emergence of Jewish cosmological models for conceptualizing both human and divine bodies and the interactions between them, arguing that all these sources position the body and its senses as the locus of culture and the means of reproducing it. Segol explores the rituals acting on these models, attending especially to their inherent erotic power, and ties these to contemporary Western sex magic, showing that such rituals have a continuing life. Asking questions about its cosmology, myths, and rituals, Segol poses even larger questions about the history of kabbalah, the changing conceptions of the human relation to the divine, and even the nature of religious innovation itself. This groundbreaking book will appeal to students and scholars of Jewish studies, religion, sexuality, and magic.
