Description

The purpose of this list is to serve as a forum for the discussion of:

"Practical Kabbalah"

“For the most part, the realm of practical Kabbalah is that of purely motivated or “white” magic, especially as practiced through the medium of the sacred, esoteric Names of God and the angels, the manipulation of which may affect the physical no less than the spiritual world. Such magical operations are not considered impossible in the Kabbalah, or even categorically forbidden, though numerous kabbalistic writings do stress the prohibitions against them. In any case, only the most perfectly virtuous individuals are permitted to perform them, and even then never for their private advantage, but only in times of emergency and public need. Whoever else seeks to perform such acts does so at his own gave physical and spiritual peril.”

- Gershom Scholem; Kabbalah; p. 182

I want to clarify that the term "magic" is used differeently by different people. To some the term "magic" in general is a synonymn for "Witchcraft" which is clearly forbidden by Torah in any form. Others use the term "magic" more broadly and refer to "Working of Miracles" as "White Magic" and "Witchcraft" as "Black Magic".

This is a place for non-pagan followers of the Elohim ("God") of the Bible to discuss these issues.

Topics of discussion may include: Practical Kabbalah; "Miracles" or so-called "White Magic"; The Sefer Raziel (Book of Raziel) and Other Kabbalistic texts.

If you are not a pagan, witch, Satanist or Hermetic Cabbalist and want to join this list just subscribe.
