This Jewish spell book is one of the oldest spell books
around. It was written in the Northern area of Israel around the second temple periods.
Another old book is the Sefer Raziel. Both books are Jewish magic but in ways
they are different. Sefer Raziel has the order of angels and you get to call on
them but you can do it out of order and not call on all of them at once. With
the Sword of Moses you go up in ascending order. Sefer Raziel also uses more Greek magical
ideas than does the Sword of Moses. Raziel has the practitioner get fancy
implements and uses some bizarre animal parts. Raziel also has spells for wealth,
love, money and power, along with revenge , binding spells and curses. Sord of
Moses has spells for increasing Torah knowledge, increasing wisdom, cursing and
binding foes and healing. Sword of Moses is more Jewish then Sefer Raziel
Jewish magic in comparison to modern magic or Wiccan
practices is rather different. Take a
look at the three fold law. It says what you put out comes back at you three
fold. So if you curse someone you too will be cursed. Do what thou wilt but
harm none. Once again no negative magic against anyone. This work has no such
compunction. If someone is wronging you and you need magic then by all means
use it. Another difference is the use of special tool. In modern magical
systems you have daggers, wands, chalices etc. All ritually cleansed and
charged. In Jewish Magic the practitioner is the tool. You just read the spell
and use your word. Occasionally a spell will call for the use of a bay leaf or
an iron implement but nothing super fancy. The Practitioner did not have to be
religious.
The Rabbis of old never really condemned magic outright.
Maybe certain practices like necromancy and handling the dead. But not hear. To use this book is simple.
First step you need to do is fast for three days having only water during the
day and bread and water at night, preferable baked by you. You need these three
days in order to purify your soul. The angels can be quite dangerous to work
with. After that then you can cast spells. The Sword in question is the divine
names of God. Those names power everything. The magical has lots to do with Hekhalot
Jewish mysticism.
Lots of the spells involve writing verses on parchment or
lead plate inclusive of the petitioners name and their mother’s name. Sometimes
the practitioner will bless some herbs for medicinal purposes. The petitioner
will carry the inscriptions on their body or wear it.
There is no circle casting. In order to get that sacred
space the practitioner would pull the tallit over their head and block out the
rest of the world. Jewish magic pays no significance to moon phases, nor does
it pay much attention to planetary times and days.
If you are looking for simple non complicated magic to do
this one is it. Not everyone likes all the complicated stuff of modern magical
practice. You don’t have to be Jewish to use this book.
