@Irish Jester what I meant to say is, the Greek work Pharmakia is translated as "sorcery " in the new testament. But obviously Pharmaceuticals share this etymological root. And utilizing radio waves and EMF, and electricity would be "invisible forces" to the ancient mind.

Not true at all, In fact this is the speciic reasoning behind cleaning your mind of sexual interests and other temptations that do not apply to reality. For example, a man who finds true free will breaks free of temptation, closing off those pathways that allow his autopilot to send those erect "noses". Before a time frame of a particular self mastery, one masters the sub mind and then does not have lust to ignore, meanwhile he teaches the weak efforted people to just ignore them, or die. Sadly this is the only way the vast numbers of low effort lazies will need to fall in line. If death is not the result, they will just become nihilists. Though murder does not prevent this and often becomes the demon. Point is, a True master of self does not have thoughts about other apples of his eye. His eye has become his alone. Now every mage knows your suppose to master self first otherwise you become enslaved. The ancient priests knew that in order to ensure you might talk to an Angel, You could never tell the difference prior to playing Chess with it. This means that odds are you would tangle with a demonic force posing as one of your angels and only being able to master a demon would ensure success in getting the legit source online. Of course this was warning dished out to those who think them self psychic mediums, was it E.Z. who said walk lightly when entertaining demons? Id say that is english for, ITS NOT YOUR FREAKING FAMILY MEMEBERS THEY CHANNEL. Ergo secrets may not exist in this place. Point is, To be able to receive a note tied to a soft bright white fuzzy things foot, You hope its Jesus or Holy, But anyone can make any message bright warm and fuzzy, in fact they all should be The conduit itself has this effect ergo it looks bright, white and fuzzy. Point is, MOST Of those messages are FAKE NEWS. So even the most Holy men had to learn to master demons. Solomon looks a bit odd like he entertains them but, If our priest class is to master the demons to I.D. them as demonic , well you likely should reject them, I suppose it appears unmoral to do so. But if you had mastered and I.D. it than you have mastery over self and this force. Using it can not then become an issue because you gained total mastery. So no you will not fell the demon if you won the Game and in order to befell Holy, You must be able to wrestle a demon from trying to use the holy conduit for something HolI. Dont mistake, Your scribes, learned these tactics because the Phone Line for Angels is being Cyber attacked by every criminal with the technology to use that conduit.. You have to enslave loads of demonic orces before you will realize a legit Holy force. In my opinion. A camel must be on his knees to cross the eye of the needle.

Judaism and magic have had a long relationship. Indeed, the Sefer HaRazim is older than the Babylonian Talmud! So, it seems to me that if someone were doing both they could appeal to a long tradition.
ESOTERICA in terms of Judaic magic I found it clear in the Hebrew bible but a knowledge of the Hebrew depths that greatly. Sacred languages often have more the one meaning and in the the power of the word becomes more apparent.

I can’t help but noticed the perfect intention of this Event and their pre cursors. From The Vietnam War to The Burning Monk to the present. When The Buddha burnt himself, that was when he became the god of death. So there is a word in Vietnamese which I feel to hold significance in understanding Creation. It is “thấy”. In literal translation, it means “see”. But it actually means “to see and to feel”. “Tôi thấy khỏe”. In literal translation it is “I see healthy”. But it actually means “I see-feel healthy”. When it comes to magic and God, it’s more likely to be this “see-feel”. When you see-feel The Infinite Intelligent Energy, you can draw from it to do magic.

Reading through the comments has helped me greatly. I've been in search for this kind of content wondering if it's true and for some reason I've been drawn to it. I'm very intrigued by the whole subject. For 5 years I've felt this pulling toward the Torah and hebrew teachings but I stayed away due to my upbringing. I'm not afraid of it anymore and I'm definitely going to keep learning more about it and practice it more. I'm glad I came across this video it's been very helpful.
Jewish tradition teaches that there are two complementary aspects of the torah that was given at Sinai. Commonly called the oral and the written. It’s vital to learn the Hebrew alphabet and hopefully to even read and understand Hebrew in order to begin to receive these traditions. A very deep understanding of the alphabet is necessary in order to begin to scratch the surface of these secrets. For somebody beginning to have an interest assuming they’ve already learned the five Books of Moses (in their entirety and not in a Christian translation) I would recommend the book of proverbs from the written torah and the ethics of the fathers from the oral.
@@marinatessmer1116 Please know that this text is not a part of the corpus of the torah. It’s a fascinating and important text and I personally ordered it because of my interest in the hermetic tradition. The interface of mostly forgotten Jewish practices with ancient occult ones is incredible. But because this is ultimately a hellenist text it leads away from the torah not towards it. Make sure you understand that distinction it’s very important.
@@chewbaccasita can you help me with learning magic I am only 16 and live in America so I do not have the time to learn a different language or the money to buy the books but sometimes when I am doing something related to God I get a weird feeling it kind of feels like the opposite of how it feels and I know that it doesn't make any sense I have had that all my live Edit we can just talk online through these comments unless you have a better idea please reply either way so I know you saw this.
I recently listened to book of Jasher and of Jubilees. Both mentioned that after the flood when God perceived that certain evils we're coming again to men, that the angels were instructed to teach Noah ways to protect and drive the spirits away, to guard, and heal.
"They ˹instead˺ followed the magic promoted by the devils during the reign of Solomon. Never did Solomon disbelieve, rather the devils disbelieved. They taught magic to the people, along with what had been revealed to the two angels, Hârût and Mârût, in Babylon.1 The two angels never taught anyone without saying, “We are only a test ˹for you˺, so do not abandon ˹your˺ faith.” Yet people learned ˹magic˺ that caused a rift ˹even˺ between husband and wife; although their magic could not harm anyone except by Allah’s Will. They learned what harmed them and did not benefit them-although they already knew that whoever buys into magic would have no share in the Hereafter. Miserable indeed was the price for which they sold their souls, if only they knew!" Quran 2:102
Thank you for this! The Quran is full of wonderful elaborations on so many historical events that people completely miss out on by excluding it from their relevant literature.
Our magic has been suppressed for hundreds of years as foretold in a cycle. It's coming back though. Thank you for taking such care in examining and illuminating our beliefs.
I’ve always thought that PCBs and magical amulets were synonymous to each other especially because I always see the sigil marks resemble the look of circuitry. Especially another thing that strongly makes me say this is one of the three laws of Clarke states that “any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic “
I suspect the Cairo Synagogue Ben Ezra’s Genizah fragments might bring to light some additional magickal texts or even some ‘Zadokite’ Dead Sea Scroll like material as the Damascus Document (CD) which turn’d out to be a copy of the Serek Yahadim (‘Rule for the Camps of Yisro’el for All the Sons of Light in the Last Days’) - sadly only 20% of Solomon Schechter’s fragments have been translated & publish’d so far - which certainly contain valuable mediaeval copies of dozens of rarely known writings ...
What I find absolutely astonishing is how it seems that Sumerian looks like it's the ancestor of all languages and going back through old Hebrew works and Sanskrit works and ancient Mesopotamian works I find that we actually have done a pretty good job documenting our history all the way back to the very beginning and the world is a very deep beautiful and scary place.
@@TheEsotericaChannel thats what they say but have you looked at written sumerian\Babylonian and written chinese? Even sanskrit looks similar to the Mesopotamian writing systrms.
@@TheEsotericaChannel nothing fancy lol ive used ETCSL from oxford and looked at images of some tablets and tried to translate them but for now I can only get pieces of words and haven't been able to piece a full sentence put completely.

Interesting video. I have a somewhat related question that I think you might have input on given the topics of your videos. Im really interested in the Book of Enoch chapter CVI and its description of Noahs birth. Noah at birth is described as follows: “And his body was white as snow and red as the blooming of a rose, and the hair of his head and his long locks were white as wool, and his eyes beautiful. And when he opened his eyes, he lighted up the whole house like the sun, and the whole house was very bright. And thereupon he arose in the hands of the midwife, opened his mouth, and conversed with the Lord of righteousness.” I cant help but think this description is a metaphor for the Amanita Mascara mushroom, since its also white as snow, red like a rose, and has “hair” on its head that feels like wool. When consumed, it also makes the room brighter. Is it possible this description is a metaphor for mushroom?
It's an interesting hypothesis but honestly I couldn't say one way or the other. The symbolism(s) at work in many of the these ancient texts have valences that are truly difficult to understand from the point of view of the author. I will also say that there is no doubt, to my mind, an anti-psychedelic bias that operates in academia which I find to be unhelpful. That said, for me, I try to follow the evidence the best I can and when there isn't enough for me to make a conclusion I try my best not to.
I had a neighbor that practiced magic. I didnt know much about all of his before I lived and became very aware of his practice. I found him going around my home with his dog.
Really enjoying your channel! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge so freely like this, much respect to you! I hope this doesnt come across as a silly question but I'm just curious if you have more knowledge on the subject: What is the reason given behind the idea of avoiding people who are menstruating in these sorts of traditions? That's a reoccurring theme that I dont understand. Does that just rest upon the general consensus (I'm assuming this) of the time that menstruation is some form of "impurity"? Is there ever a reason given as to *why* its impure? Is it because it's related to biological functioning of genetalia or reproductive systems, and that part of the body in general is "impure"? Is there ever a reason given for this?
Sabrina KrisB great question. I’m also curious, in my culture we were taught something just as silly... like never get your hair cut by a pregnant or menstruating woman. Where these superstitions come from always mind boggled me as well...
Thanks for saying so! And this is a very sophisticated question that I have to admit not having an adequate answer for. At least in Judaism the concepts of ritually pure (טהרה) and ritually impure (טומאה) are non-ethical states that both men and women are susceptible to. For instance, contact with a corpse renders one ritually impure. This state generally means the ability to perform various ritual functions and engage in the full range of social interactions. Like many cultures, it is a system of taboos that have developed over time. For instance, in the Islamicate context, it is my understanding that the saliva of a dog is also impure. The exact origins of these taboos are pretty obscure though I would lean into the idea that they have their origins in (1) the need to control women's bodies, especially along lines of fertility and (2) pre-modern theories of contagion, likely among other factors. Mary Douglas' Purity and Danger is a great starting point for studying these ideas though she did heavily revise her ideas later in her thinking. But, you raise a crucial question and I'm sorry I don't have a better answer for you - thanks for raising it!
@@TheEsotericaChannel It seems like menstruation is given to the human species by the Creator God and therefore, should not be pure or impure. It just is. Anything other than that is saying the Creator God created an imperfection, if this makes any sense. Or am I way off base?
"...describing the military like divisions of the angelic chain of command..." Sounds like the Ancient Astronauts theory...🤯 By the way, great channel! I am devouring all of your videos 😬
@@TheEsotericaChannel Yes, I know...there are so many knowledge and interesting things to study and discover, that there is no place for a boring or bridled mind.
Adding this information to all the other discoveries and hypotheses put forward by independent researchers and linguists, it is easy to extrapolate that none of these so-called gods, angels, daemons, watchers, titans, giants, etc., ad infinitum, were who we were taught they were, and it makes for a much different history than that which we have been taught in the 20th century in western cultures. It also changes who I believe I am. We are a species with crippling amnesia.
This is very well done. Thank you so much for sharing this. I'm going to explore your channel thoroughly. I practice Angelic and demonic magic through a system that stems from Jewish mysticism. This is fascinating to me, the history of it.
The almighty needs no magic, he is so far above all of that, everything that exist or ever has is his at his will, he speaks things into and out of existence, nothing anywhere is more powerful, we should all be so afraid but fear is opposite him.
@@moodist1er you make it sound like you were there, there is no God or no good or evil in this existence either huh? Its all man made, your brilliant arent you? You think you've got this all figured out, you're feeble mind knows absolutely nothing.
Elohim breathed the breathe of life into us. That is why we are above the angels. Elohim gave a word to an angel. That is what gives them power. Do you think YHWH calls the angels by the names we know them by? Why, as a fellow Christian, would I criticize someone like you have? To convert someone, all you need to do is bring them close to Tsebaoath.
@@moodist1er Elohim is singular you can look it up. One of the names used for centuries for the God of Israel. Our (Jewish & Christian God) the fact that you thought it was plural shows me you don’t actually do research you just come on RUclips trolling people about their religious beliefs
@@moodist1er since you’re so well versed why don’t you tell us which of the dozen religions or stories we stole instead of just saying that. And show me fact not some whacked out half historian saying “possibly” or “maybe” because I’ve done research myself and there’s literally not one historian that’s gonna say “yea they definitely stole this” because they can’t.
Angels are indeed strong. They never abide to anything but their creator. Since they were created, they have their sight point down, never up, towards god. None of them ever saw god, not till the day of judgement. Asking help/wish from anything but god is indeed magic, be it angel, demon, dead and living human and animal. Magic is bad because god is the only one you should ask for anything.
And who are you to say this? Prove that working with angels is forbidden! You couldn't begging to stand in the presence of God let alone open your mouth to ask for help. It's the angels that are His messages you better respect them and learn to work with them. If not them shut your mouth with your telling others that working with them or talking to them is wrong. Who are YOU????????
the hymn at the end (7th firmament) is really beautiful. It seems to be made up of quotes from the prophets combined with original material, is that correct? Does it appear in later works or are there any later references to it?
It is really lovely and reminds me of another such hymn that actually survives into contemporary Jewish liturgy from the Merkabah mystics "El Adon." But no, this seems to be a composite text and I don't know that it survives beyond Sefer HaRazim. Such composite texts are not uncommon through the middle ages. There is even an early Christian re-telling of the birth of Jesus composed entirely of quotations from the works of Virgil!
@@danterosati Usually there is some mix but the language is highly formulaic. Sometimes I say that these folks "speak Bible" - neither just quotations nor purely original but like a quilt made of both.
I’ve seen some articles that claim that the translations that use witch aren’t entirely accurate and that “poisoner” or “One who poisons with herbs” is a more accurate translation. Thoughts?
This is primarily based on the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible where it reads "φαρμακοὺς οὐ περιποιήσετε" rendering the Hebrew word here as something that can be read in many ways including the one you mentioned. The Greek word pharmakos can be read as 'cure' 'poison' 'drug' 'magic' etc. The Septuagint, in general, has a kind of rationalizing tendency in its translation. The Hebrew is pretty clear as "magic user" especially considering the same root attested clearly in Akkadian.
I grew up going to Jewish day school. We did a lot of prayers. One thing that has struck me from looking at your videos and remembering prayers from when I was in school and in synagogue for the holidays is that a lot of these spells remind me of prayers. Obviously theres ritual, but prayers have ritual too. Is there any thought that spells and prayers are actually the same thing or sprung up from each other?
As a pagan, spells and prayer are very close to the same thing, I imagine it's the same for any faith. It's a method of requesting a change in yourself or the world through your higher power. When it comes to Abrahamic faiths I especially see rituals that are far heavier in prayer than anything else.
Prayers are used to request changes from God directly (spells are prohibited in monotheistic faith). Spells from magical prospective is to call some spiritual and powerful entities (by their names, symbols...) to help you, using your internal (intent, faith, emotion...), natural (herbs, stones, metals...) and astrological energy to achieve that.
Brought here in a quest for story ideas for my table top roleplaying group (Dungeons and Dragons, Buffy the Vampire Slayer). I keep stumbling upon videos like this, where I just think "Man, this is so interesting, and cool to listen to/about...how did I never hear about any of this before?" Then I remember that I grew up in the US in the beginning of the millennial generation, and our education system has crapped out on us. My criminal justice degree required me to take post civil war-pre 20's american literature...I dropped it. If I had to learn about this stuff, I might have changed majors!
We in the US dont have an education system. its a sysgtem of indoctrination and rout obedience, the breaking down of will and sovereignty. controllable mediocrity is the desired product.

When it comes to magic and God, it’s more likely to be this “see-feel”. When you see-feel The Infinite Intelligent Energy, you can draw from it to do magic.

Reading through the comments has helped me greatly. I've been in search for this kind of content wondering if it's true and for some reason I've been drawn to it. I'm very intrigued by the whole subject. For 5 years I've felt this pulling toward the Torah and hebrew teachings but I stayed away due to my upbringing. I'm not afraid of it anymore and I'm definitely going to keep learning more about it and practice it more. I'm glad I came across this video it's been very helpful.
Jewish tradition teaches that there are two complementary aspects of the torah that was given at Sinai. Commonly called the oral and the written. It’s vital to learn the Hebrew alphabet and hopefully to even read and understand Hebrew in order to begin to receive these traditions. A very deep understanding of the alphabet is necessary in order to begin to scratch the surface of these secrets.
For somebody beginning to have an interest assuming they’ve already learned the five Books of Moses (in their entirety and not in a Christian translation) I would recommend the book of proverbs from the written torah and the ethics of the fathers from the oral.
I felt that pull too
@@marinatessmer1116 Please know that this text is not a part of the corpus of the torah. It’s a fascinating and important text and I personally ordered it because of my interest in the hermetic tradition. The interface of mostly forgotten Jewish practices with ancient occult ones is incredible. But because this is ultimately a hellenist text it leads away from the torah not towards it. Make sure you understand that distinction it’s very important.
@@chewbaccasita can you help me with learning magic I am only 16 and live in America so I do not have the time to learn a different language or the money to buy the books but sometimes when I am doing something related to God I get a weird feeling it kind of feels like the opposite of how it feels and I know that it doesn't make any sense I have had that all my live
Edit we can just talk online through these comments unless you have a better idea please reply either way so I know you saw this.
@@chewbaccasita I never got the original comment what was it
I recently listened to book of Jasher and of Jubilees. Both mentioned that after the flood when God perceived that certain evils we're coming again to men, that the angels were instructed to teach Noah ways to protect and drive the spirits away, to guard, and heal.
Brilliant. Erudite. Fascinating. Congratulations. Well done. Thank you.
"They ˹instead˺ followed the magic promoted by the devils during the reign of Solomon. Never did Solomon disbelieve, rather the devils disbelieved. They taught magic to the people, along with what had been revealed to the two angels, Hârût and Mârût, in Babylon.1 The two angels never taught anyone without saying, “We are only a test ˹for you˺, so do not abandon ˹your˺ faith.” Yet people learned ˹magic˺ that caused a rift ˹even˺ between husband and wife; although their magic could not harm anyone except by Allah’s Will. They learned what harmed them and did not benefit them-although they already knew that whoever buys into magic would have no share in the Hereafter. Miserable indeed was the price for which they sold their souls, if only they knew!" Quran 2:102
Thank you for this! The Quran is full of wonderful elaborations on so many historical events that people completely miss out on by excluding it from their relevant literature.

Our magic has been suppressed for hundreds of years as foretold in a cycle. It's coming back though. Thank you for taking such care in examining and illuminating our beliefs.
I’ve always thought that PCBs and magical amulets were synonymous to each other especially because I always see the sigil marks resemble the look of circuitry. Especially another thing that strongly makes me say this is one of the three laws of Clarke states that “any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic “

What does Shin Kaph Alef mean? Or AKS, Aticka Kadisha Shaddai the ancient holy one God Almighty?
I suspect the Cairo Synagogue Ben Ezra’s Genizah fragments might bring to light some additional magickal texts or even some ‘Zadokite’ Dead Sea Scroll like material as the Damascus Document (CD) which turn’d out to be a copy of the Serek Yahadim (‘Rule for the Camps of Yisro’el for All the Sons of Light in the Last Days’) - sadly only 20% of Solomon Schechter’s fragments have been translated & publish’d so far - which certainly contain valuable mediaeval copies of dozens of rarely known writings ...

Very interesting content
Glad you enjoyed it
What I find absolutely astonishing is how it seems that Sumerian looks like it's the ancestor of all languages and going back through old Hebrew works and Sanskrit works and ancient Mesopotamian works I find that we actually have done a pretty good job documenting our history all the way back to the very beginning and the world is a very deep beautiful and scary place.
Huh? Sumerian is an isolate.
@@TheEsotericaChannel thats what they say but have you looked at written sumerian\Babylonian and written chinese? Even sanskrit looks similar to the Mesopotamian writing systrms.
@@Randomhkl yep and so have thousands of linguistists - it's an isolate. Do you read Sumerian? Which grammar did you use to learn it?
@@TheEsotericaChannel none I'm just a noob and I'm studying on my own, it's just remarkable how similar they do look to me
@@TheEsotericaChannel nothing fancy lol ive used ETCSL from oxford and looked at images of some tablets and tried to translate them but for now I can only get pieces of words and haven't been able to piece a full sentence put completely. I'm saving up for a sanskrit to English dictionary and a few other books, the pali language is also something interesting to me and who couldnt love the art and methods of the Japanese written language.

Episode idea- a cross cultural examination of angelomorphism as it relates to essenes , gnostics, buddhists, etc.
Interesting video. I have a somewhat related question that I think you might have input on given the topics of your videos. Im really interested in the Book of Enoch chapter CVI and its description of Noahs birth. Noah at birth is described as follows: “And his body was white as snow and red as the blooming of a rose, and the hair of his head and his long locks were white as wool, and his eyes beautiful. And when he opened his eyes, he lighted up the whole house like the sun, and the whole house was very bright. And thereupon he arose in the hands of the midwife, opened his mouth, and conversed with the Lord of righteousness.” I cant help but think this description is a metaphor for the Amanita Mascara mushroom, since its also white as snow, red like a rose, and has “hair” on its head that feels like wool. When consumed, it also makes the room brighter. Is it possible this description is a metaphor for mushroom?
It's an interesting hypothesis but honestly I couldn't say one way or the other. The symbolism(s) at work in many of the these ancient texts have valences that are truly difficult to understand from the point of view of the author. I will also say that there is no doubt, to my mind, an anti-psychedelic bias that operates in academia which I find to be unhelpful. That said, for me, I try to follow the evidence the best I can and when there isn't enough for me to make a conclusion I try my best not to.
Earlier today I was thinking about... John M. Allegro. The sacred mushroom & the cross. Time I re-read it, I think.

Thank you! Magic is AMAZING ❤️
Really enjoying your channel! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge so freely like this, much respect to you! I hope this doesnt come across as a silly question but I'm just curious if you have more knowledge on the subject:
What is the reason given behind the idea of avoiding people who are menstruating in these sorts of traditions? That's a reoccurring theme that I dont understand. Does that just rest upon the general consensus (I'm assuming this) of the time that menstruation is some form of "impurity"? Is there ever a reason given as to *why* its impure? Is it because it's related to biological functioning of genetalia or reproductive systems, and that part of the body in general is "impure"? Is there ever a reason given for this?
Sabrina KrisB great question. I’m also curious, in my culture we were taught something just as silly... like never get your hair cut by a pregnant or menstruating woman. Where these superstitions come from always mind boggled me as well...
Thanks for saying so! And this is a very sophisticated question that I have to admit not having an adequate answer for. At least in Judaism the concepts of ritually pure (טהרה) and ritually impure (טומאה) are non-ethical states that both men and women are susceptible to. For instance, contact with a corpse renders one ritually impure. This state generally means the ability to perform various ritual functions and engage in the full range of social interactions. Like many cultures, it is a system of taboos that have developed over time. For instance, in the Islamicate context, it is my understanding that the saliva of a dog is also impure. The exact origins of these taboos are pretty obscure though I would lean into the idea that they have their origins in (1) the need to control women's bodies, especially along lines of fertility and (2) pre-modern theories of contagion, likely among other factors. Mary Douglas' Purity and Danger is a great starting point for studying these ideas though she did heavily revise her ideas later in her thinking. But, you raise a crucial question and I'm sorry I don't have a better answer for you - thanks for raising it!
@@TheEsotericaChannel That's a great answer thank you very much. I'm surprised you called my question sophisticated
@@sabrinakrisb4672Don't sell yourself short :)
@@TheEsotericaChannel It seems like menstruation is given to the human species by the Creator God and therefore, should not be pure or impure. It just is. Anything other than that is saying the Creator God created an imperfection, if this makes any sense. Or am I way off base?

Nice picture of Schefter sifting at 2:57
Adding this information to all the other discoveries and hypotheses put forward by independent researchers and linguists, it is easy to extrapolate that none of these so-called gods, angels, daemons, watchers, titans, giants, etc., ad infinitum, were who we were taught they were, and it makes for a much different history than that which we have been taught in the 20th century in western cultures. It also changes who I believe I am. We are a species with crippling amnesia.
Powerful thank you for your great gift great teacher of mankind. Thank you
Where can I learn more about the Sefer Shimmush Tehillim? Please do an episode on this! Love the channel
always amazing to watch learning a lot
Thank you for your commitment to the great work.
This is very well done. Thank you so much for sharing this. I'm going to explore your channel thoroughly. I practice Angelic and demonic magic through a system that stems from Jewish mysticism. This is fascinating to me, the history of it.
Thanks - hope you find my content worthwhile!
The almighty needs no magic, he is so far above all of that, everything that exist or ever has is his at his will, he speaks things into and out of existence, nothing anywhere is more powerful, we should all be so afraid but fear is opposite him.
@@moodist1er you make it sound like you were there, there is no God or no good or evil in this existence either huh? Its all man made, your brilliant arent you? You think you've got this all figured out, you're feeble mind knows absolutely nothing.
Elohim breathed the breathe of life into us. That is why we are above the angels. Elohim gave a word to an angel. That is what gives them power. Do you think YHWH calls the angels by the names we know them by? Why, as a fellow Christian, would I criticize someone like you have? To convert someone, all you need to do is bring them close to Tsebaoath.
@@moodist1er Elohim is singular you can look it up. One of the names used for centuries for the God of Israel. Our (Jewish & Christian God) the fact that you thought it was plural shows me you don’t actually do research you just come on RUclips trolling people about their religious beliefs
@@moodist1er since you’re so well versed why don’t you tell us which of the dozen religions or stories we stole instead of just saying that. And show me fact not some whacked out half historian saying “possibly” or “maybe” because I’ve done research myself and there’s literally not one historian that’s gonna say “yea they definitely stole this” because they can’t.

excellent information and love to study more.if possible plz raise the level of voice recording
Superb content. Thank you!
I've renounced the zodiac because it's of witchcraft which is not evil but I am a Christian and am now looking into Christian magic.
The Bible of magic too the book of Psalms witch people are using for witcraft
Angels are indeed strong. They never abide to anything but their creator. Since they were created, they have their sight point down, never up, towards god. None of them ever saw god, not till the day of judgement. Asking help/wish from anything but god is indeed magic, be it angel, demon, dead and living human and animal. Magic is bad because god is the only one you should ask for anything.
And who are you to say this? Prove that working with angels is forbidden! You couldn't begging to stand in the presence of God let alone open your mouth to ask for help. It's the angels that are His messages you better respect them and learn to work with them. If not them shut your mouth with your telling others that working with them or talking to them is wrong. Who are YOU????????
Thanks for sharing. I posted this video in one of my fb groups for discussion and I've bought the book you recommended as well ;-)
Awesome - thanks for sharing. Hope folks the content interesting. I have other videos on angel magic as well, for instance the Sword of Moses.
@@TheEsotericaChannel yes, I clicked and I will be watching it a little later, I'm at work right now. I'm Very Very interested so please keep sharing
the hymn at the end (7th firmament) is really beautiful. It seems to be made up of quotes from the prophets combined with original material, is that correct? Does it appear in later works or are there any later references to it?
It is really lovely and reminds me of another such hymn that actually survives into contemporary Jewish liturgy from the Merkabah mystics "El Adon." But no, this seems to be a composite text and I don't know that it survives beyond Sefer HaRazim. Such composite texts are not uncommon through the middle ages. There is even an early Christian re-telling of the birth of Jesus composed entirely of quotations from the works of Virgil!
@@TheEsotericaChannel by composite do you mean it is entirely made up of scriptural quotations, or is there any original material?
@@danterosati Usually there is some mix but the language is highly formulaic. Sometimes I say that these folks "speak Bible" - neither just quotations nor purely original but like a quilt made of both.

Im impressed. Thank you. I subscribed.
I’ve seen some articles that claim that the translations that use witch aren’t entirely accurate and that “poisoner” or “One who poisons with herbs” is a more accurate translation. Thoughts?
This is primarily based on the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible where it reads "φαρμακοὺς οὐ περιποιήσετε" rendering the Hebrew word here as something that can be read in many ways including the one you mentioned. The Greek word pharmakos can be read as 'cure' 'poison' 'drug' 'magic' etc. The Septuagint, in general, has a kind of rationalizing tendency in its translation. The Hebrew is pretty clear as "magic user" especially considering the same root attested clearly in Akkadian.
I grew up going to Jewish day school. We did a lot of prayers. One thing that has struck me from looking at your videos and remembering prayers from when I was in school and in synagogue for the holidays is that a lot of these spells remind me of prayers. Obviously theres ritual, but prayers have ritual too. Is there any thought that spells and prayers are actually the same thing or sprung up from each other?
As a pagan, spells and prayer are very close to the same thing, I imagine it's the same for any faith. It's a method of requesting a change in yourself or the world through your higher power. When it comes to Abrahamic faiths I especially see rituals that are far heavier in prayer than anything else.
Prayers are used to request changes from God directly (spells are prohibited in monotheistic faith).
Spells from magical prospective is to call some spiritual and powerful entities (by their names, symbols...) to help you, using your internal (intent, faith, emotion...), natural (herbs, stones, metals...) and astrological energy to achieve that.
Brought here in a quest for story ideas for my table top roleplaying group (Dungeons and Dragons, Buffy the Vampire Slayer). I keep stumbling upon videos like this, where I just think "Man, this is so interesting, and cool to listen to/about...how did I never hear about any of this before?" Then I remember that I grew up in the US in the beginning of the millennial generation, and our education system has crapped out on us. My criminal justice degree required me to take post civil war-pre 20's american literature...I dropped it. If I had to learn about this stuff, I might have changed majors!
We in the US dont have an education system. its a sysgtem of indoctrination and rout obedience, the breaking down of will and sovereignty. controllable mediocrity is the desired product.
@@markpatton6847 This might not have been "as true" when i was going through school...but your statement is, sadly, more accurate by the year. I don't even recognize the curriculum today. (Graduated HS in '03)
These spells remind me of The Magick of Abramelim.
So glad to discover you and this information (I am an Essene priestess) thank you.
