Jewish Mysticism: Now Available!



One of a number of interesting spiritual works released by the same publisher in the 1910s, Abelsons' treatment of mysticism within Judaism here is quite good, expansive, and sometimes dense, but technically an introductory overview of magickal concepts within Kabbalah.

Speaking of the Yetzirah and Zohar among other works, it is somewhat a work of linguistic anthropology, which makes sense, since a lot of the theological and mystic concepts of Jewish spiritual lore are fundamentally derived from the Hebrew language and number systems.

Semiphoras and Schemhamforash: Now Available!




Now we turn to a work by Luppius; this time a lesser known gem of the occult literary world, usually combined with the Books of Moses into the same sort of philosophical bundle.

The overall system here is largely categorical and related to Judaist mysticism; it classifies the names of the Hebraic God, the names of his subordinate cosmic forces, the names of different stages of paradise, and so forth- through studying this work and praying fervently a person is capable of using, then, a series of incantations and prayers to protect themselves and do all manner of other powerful things. It has a great deal of similarity to the Ars Goetia in its classifications but provides no seals or sigils for the same, as they are unnecessary.
