Ancient Magical Practice to Summon & Learn From the Angel of Wisdom - The Sar Torah
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2023
- Wisdom is among the most precious and hard won human achievements - what if there were a way to magically obtain vast knowledge, infinitely expand one's memory and learn the secrets of reality? The conjuration of the Sar Torah (Prince of the Torah) just just such an ancient Jewish magical practice. Emerging around the time of the Chariot Mystics, the Sar Torah required radical fasting, purity and esoterica divine and angelic names to summon the Angel of Wisdom to learn all their wisdom at once. Though, it came as tremendous risk - the risk of life and sanity.

I cannot overstate the significance of the service you are providing to this community by consistently offering a scholarly (and entertaining) analysis of these matters. Thank you for your time and persistence. Thank you for sharing your gift and your hard work with the world.
Yes! This!
indeed
Awesome!
For real. So, so much of this obscure, unusual or - more damningly - critical knowledge is hidden behind paywalls and gatekeepers in various organizations. It's refreshing to be able to find an honest scholar who still believes in the importance of passing on knowledge gained, and the sanctity of that endeavor above and beyond the importance of personal avarice.
Uh, huh; suuure... You just can't wait to get summoning! ;)
One of the many reasons I am proud to support you on Patreon is because when I search for UA-cam videos on subjects like this, 100% of the results are conspiracy theories etc. I'm forever grateful that somehow I found your channel and now have a place to learn about fascinating subjects in a place that strengthens my brain cells instead of rotting them.
Thanks so much for your support and kind words!
Yes! We have had so called “theory”, but what we need “fact” we can practice and improve!!
Now we can just subscribe to Esoterica and not worry about being reduced to a puddle of bile. This channel is magical. I appreciate your work so much!
lolololol What a great comment.
It saves me from dressing in white robes and reciting hymns 111 times to myself!
“Is it kosher to piggyback?” 😂😂 hilarious my dude
It's crazy that I've been watching Dr. Sledge for almost 2 years now, feels like I've gotten a true degree in esoterica that you wouldn't find in actual schools. My college had barely any esoteric classes besides a Mysticism of East&West course I took during my bachelors (with a dope teacher), and a lot of my philosophy course teachers knew nothing about these topics or thought they weren't important or "too spiritual/religious?" for some reason. We need more teachers like Dr. Sledge!
I full heartily agree. These topics of ancient studies are a lost knowledge and studies. not even highly well known universities have these classes besides the superficial knowledge and not an in-depth look into esoteric studies. Dr. Sledge is a blessing for the academic and philosopher... even novice alchemist and necromancer can appreciate what he is doing for us all.
Hello. If you haven't already, you might check out the virtual presentations and live streaming lectures at the Embassy of the Free Mind/Ritman Library (Dr. Sledge recently engaged in a presentation there). You will be introduced to the world of academic escotericism. I very much like the Enoch Seminars out of University of Michigan, also online academic presentations primarily focusing on Enoch Studies. Forgive me if you know all this and I'm 'splaining to youse! Good luck.
I shall check it out, appreciate it!@@lunarchandelierpress6986
2:30 When an Esoterica episode starts with angels lashing out and turning people into puddles of their own bile, you know it’s going to be another banger.
What I learned from this video is that Enoch's transformation must have REALLY annoyed the angels and Paul's descent with Merkava mysticism was extremely harrowing and he REALLY must have loved JC to not only go through all of that, but to also follow up with the gentiles.
@@Giantcrabz Yea, not a Saul/Paul fangirl either.
Angelic reactions at Enoch must have been one for the ages
Whoever has it controls it.
In a country going increasingly insane, this channel is providing me with some much needed end of day relief.
Thank you Dr Sledge
This channel has become my "buried treasure". And I didn't have to use any Solomonic Magick, to find it. I discovered you yesterday at work, and have spent all day yesterday and all day(so far) today listening to your excellent videos. 12 hour days, I have back to back to back enjoyed 20 hours thus far. You are extremely informative. I appreciate how you approach every single one of these topics, the sprinkled in humor, and should you ever get ahold of Paimons manager, let us know. I have never been so moved by a single channel to donate. Maybe I'm just not getting pointed to the right channels, but most definitely will be contributing to continue to hear more. Thank you sooo much. Keep up the good work. And I truly believe I have found a buried treasure.

"You know that some lives are worth continuing, but none are probably worth starting." Man, that's so Metal!
"Maybe it's you. Maybe it's Gnosis" is going on my next tee shirt
If only I had tried memory-expanding angelic magic, I might have actually finished my PhD.
Incredible! I never imagined myself eagerly studying subjects like this. I also never imagined a scholarly doctor of esotericism using “hella” in a presentation. I knew I liked you! Your relatability, professionalism, and credibility make every video a spoonful of knowledge! Truly, thank you for your time, humor, & education. 💌😊
You need a patreon tier that includes a workshop where your followers all produce their own lead curse tablets for Brill and throw them in a well together
gosh I get so excited every time you post… you’ve done it again Dr. Sledge, thank you. Your videos have been helping me through a seriously difficult time, being able to take a beat and ponder the spiritual is so incredibly comforting and no one does it better than you.
same
“Is it kosher to piggyback?” - this is the type of insight I appreciate the most 😂
I burst out laughing! Such a great line!
"Don't fart around angels" is probably the most useful advice I've ever received from youtube.
Oh yea, now we’re talking. The good stuff
Re: your angel identification challenge: the angel with the staff and the fish is Raphael, the notoriously friendly angel in Tobit. Even cranky Puritan John Milton called him the "affable archangel," and given this tradition of melting people into their own bile 🤯, I now appreciate Raphael even more! 🤓
I was so excited to see another video about angel magic! Angel magic is just generally one of the most fascinating topics to me, the idea of reaching to the divine for power. It emphasizes to me that "magic" is a very vague and nebulous term encompassing a wide variety of ideas and rituals and stories. Fantastic work as usual!
The bit about "dissolving into your own bile" reminds me of my experience with ayauasca lmao
Interestingly enough still today the Brahmins/Pandits in India will not eat garlic and onions. Many reasons are given particularly that these foods produce rajasic type thinking. However, one much less common reason presented is that if the Pandit is doing Mantra, Puja or a fire ceremony the Devas will not be evoked due to the smell. Cleanliness is an absolute for the priest for any spiritual practice followed by additional purification mantras for even the most basic of pujas (ceremony). These same rules are generally mandatory for the non priestly participants as well.
This was gnostic GOLD loved this ESOTERICA ❤❤❤❤
"...Is it kosher to piggyback?" 💀😂
"Is it kosher to piggyback?" Truely the profound question of our day.😆
Don’t be so down on humanity. Just keep looking in the mirror and repeating to yourself “We’re good enough, we’re smart enough, and doggone it angels like us!”
Props to you Sir. You always come up with the good stuff. Thank you 🤟🤟🤟
"I know you don't got Harvard money, but still!" The unmitigated shade 😈
You know it ;)
"I learned to use magic to win horse races!" I cannot with you 😂
Wait so do angels dislike us humans in Jewish lore? I'm so used to the idea that angels have a relatively positive (albeit rather pensive) view of us, I'm not so educated on whether that's Christian or not. The idea that the angels disdain us and experience our presence as reeking mortals who don't deserve creation is absolutely metal. It goes against everything I assumed of how they felt.
Amazing video by the way, I'm always excited when you post ❤
I do not think it is dislike by the Angels, but that they are tasked with guarding knowledge that used improperly may lead to the extinction of Humans and Other Life on Earth. More that by destroying one person recklessly pursuing knowledge for "knowledge's sake" they are protecting the rest of God's Creation.
You may also only be thinking of the Modern view of Guardian Angels which are tasked with protection of individual people or groups of people. Such Guardian Angels are on the Lowest Tiers of Celestial Hierarchy in the scheme of the Universe as a whole. In Lore of Ancient Jewish and Christian Denominations there are many Angels which are tasked to maintain the Order of the Workings of the Universe put into place by God. Many of such Angels may appear indifferent to Humans and more hyper-focused on tasks given to them by God. As a result of being disturbed from their task by reckless Humans may destroy such Human.
@@KebaRPG Thank you so much for the reply, that gives more perspective for me regarding hierarchical angelic duties and outlook ❤️
It's good to know we are disliked as a species. It helps bond all "races" and religion 😊
Alongside songs, and chants In the esoteric tradition of my people the Māori of NZ, who did not have a writing system; food and scent was used to store memories and access them again. For anyone that has ever tasted or smelled something that created a flood of memory, they will understand the potency of these two senses to instigate very intense recollections.
I'm beginning to realize that _every_ age was the "Information Age".
Actually some ppl think we might end up being a dark age due to the fact that we rely on the internet so heavily and yet no company is obligated to keep data backed up.
Its a real shame that ive had to sell the souls of myself and my children to get Brill books, but it will all be worth it once i get my hands on that sweet sweet treasure magic 🤤
Wow. Absolutely just went and described himself on the opening paragraph. Respect.
My exact thought!
Justin - You helped inspire me with my last novella with your wit, knowledge and presentations. (yes, it's about an old book and witchcraft). I love your work and truly appreciate your efforts.
I had an experience in the early 2000"s where I felt the presence of a spirit that changed my religious thinking greatly. I refer to it as having a tattoo put on my mind and soul. It included a great deal of information shared almost immediately from this spirit. More important than the volume of information was the quality of the information. I feel that those who study and memorize scripture may integrate the body of the knowledge into a deeply internal thought process which allows an almost automatic response to challenges presented. At the end of the experience a word was spoken that was unknown to me. The word was "Jerah" (sorry about not knowing the spelling of this word). Thanks for sharing all the information you present on this channel.
Please, can we get a "Maybe it's you, maybe it's Gnosis" t-shirt in the merch store? With that angel at the front and a medieval burning stake at the back saying "wisdom makes you hot". Made my day
I was distracted when Justin said “first” millennia. What followed made just as much sense when applied to today. People are still looking for shortcuts to gain knowledge. We all love labor saving devices. Just the technology has changed. I have a friend that is sure he will have brain implants any day now. Maybe one day, but that day has not yet come.
The reading, the hearing, the writing of and oration (ie.practice) thereof is a worthy mastication and digestive way to memory.
Preceding these latter practices is a calling upon Spirit, Source and Aka any Hierarchical or preferred name(s) fitting for Self.
As you've mentioned, it's not a precise cookie cutter pattern(so to speak)we must follow in our practices, applications & rituals.
For me also are contributing factors that enhance and or degrade our retention;
Environmental, Mental / physical health, and timing just to name a few.
Blessing & gratitude I do send ye Dr. Sledge for your ongoing commitment, discipline, and willingness to inform as well as guide, seekers of knowledge.♾️
Hey speaking of vengeful angels and supernatural mystic fictional story, the movie CONSTSNTINE with Keanu Reeves would be enjoyable unless you've seen it already. Plus I given appreciation to you and Philip with PayPal donations for your intellectual rational transmission of religious philosophic info 🙂
Piggy back! 😂 I love the exposure of your excellent sense of humor! and your teachings of course! 👍
"Great vengeance and furious anger"- Juelz couldn't have said it better 🖤
The great seal and the awesome crown rituals do impart vitality which gives the person who performs these rituals the ability and motivation to keep performing them. I learned from a Daoist magician that this positive feedback system is a sign that God has accepted the performance of the ritual and conversely, any negative feedback is a sign that God has rejected the performance of the ritual.
In my own experiences, these rituals prevent the common illnesses and misfortunes that occur when doing ceremonial magic or praying in general. However, the common illnesses and misfortunes are not necessarily a bad thing since the book of Isaiah says, "he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed."
Damn those accursed academic publishing cartels!
"Is it Kosher to Piggyback?"
You caught me off guard then. Bravo
His humor is everything 😄
"Go be a mercenary and get those books through your murderousness" sounds like a good premise for a dark fantasy novel
You write it, I'll buy it! I mean, it's not like Brille is gonn publish it.....
Thanks!
Beautiful and eloquent description of the under appreciated labors of the wise scholar.
Thanks for making this less complicated for common folks like myself
Blowing me 😮💨⭐️💡away to TOTALITY ❤️🔥🔑⬆️🎶⚔️🗽💌🥲😇🥰🙏
I don't know if you mentioned them or not, but there are a class of angels far stronger than the arch angels called, seraphim and ophanim. Ophanim in particular is one angel well known for sharing knowledge to humans when they appear before us and share vast knowledge from God. Though Ophanim finds our realm rather slow and they properly find teaching us like pulling teeth. They hate having their time being wasted on hanging around with mortals, unless God demands them to. They rather spend time in their eternal massive endless library in Heaven, since they are well known for their obsession with acquiring knowledge. I find them to be one of my favorite angels to study. They have so much knowledge they can alter physics with their minds and are known to be only second to God when it comes to divine power. I would hate to encounter an Ophanim who has fallen, because they can easily over take both Satan and God if they work simultaneous as one unit... very scary indeed which is why when they appear they have to say, "Do not fear." It is good that they are on Gods' side and find us humans rather funny creatures, similar to how we humans view cats. Now I am imaging an Ophanim angel being allergic to a Scottish ginger hair human. 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for another insightful video on the topic of angel magic and summoning.
In Jewish mythology those aren't angels at all.
@@TheEsotericaChannel 😂
I just ran into your channel a few days ago, and I am so incredibly grateful that i did because your content is 100% flat out some of the absolute best videos I've seen period. Your depth combined with humor and relatively to today's vibe is *chefs kiss* I'm a subscriber and a supporter!!
I was mentioning to my son last night that I know the names of all parts of the human body, however I struggle to retrieve the information from my mental library.
Moral of the story, read written words more often and your memory will be stronger
My friends and I have “sledge-speak” where we…add…in Shatnerian pauses…towards the end…of our…sentences…” for dramatic effect. Thanks bro.
Is it bad that I would ask these angels to come for tea and ask them if they could help making reading not so.... absolutely painful to my damn eyeballs so I could learn better/easier?
I do not want you to give me the secrets of the universe. Instead, please make my dyslexia go away, I wanna learn on my own 😂😂😂
Mega Grateful 4Your Methodology & Research & Chill Passion. Plus u pepper in hilarity.
another banger of a video by dr. hammer of sledge. any chance we can get a yelp review of this spell?
Thanks Justin for this awesome video. I'll be listening to this as I drive this weekend for sure. Hope you're enjoying your time in Salem!
Can't help but agree with the angels, too, humanity isn't worth it. Loved the episode.
06:50 "Your milewge may vary" AHHH HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! 😅 Possibly your best quip yet. Love it! 👏👏👏
Peace 🙏
At 6:50 😂😂😂😂😂 your sense of humor is priceless Dr!!! Bless you
As soon as I solve my underemployment problem, I look forward to supporting you and a few others I derive great benefit from financially. Thank you with words and sharing your work with others in the meantime!
Fascinating! Top-tier explanation 👍
This channel is amazing 🎉
"Yo, I got that Brill money!" Hip-hop flex for scholars of the arcane.
I can not estimate how pleased and fortunate I am, to watch or monitor this video. Is a magic itself 🥰🥰
Thank you for this content
Is it worth doing a comparison on these prepatory rituals to become non-offensive to angels as possible, and the ancient greek concept of purifying oneself from miasma before approaching the gods? As far as I'm aware, miasma wasn't so much offensive as it was not-gods-like.
I wonder if, hundreds of years from now, someone like Dr. Sledge will be making videos about my journals and/or book of conjurations.
Danke!
I'd love to talk with you more on this-- especially regarding the Water Test and the Sar Torah.
Thank you Dr. Sledge. Release as many Merkavah and Hekhalot literature videos as you want.
Academic publishing cartels had me weak 💀 😂
"Academic publishing cartels"
Yes, that's exactly what they are! I don't want to pollute your comments section by the sorts of curses I think they deserve for any number of reasons, but fully agreed that it's ridiculous that things are made "accessible" by making them only accessible to those with large disposable incomes. The democratization of the Sar Torah techniques implied by some of the texts is absolutely betrayed by such cartel behaviors. If those who don't do the preparations correctly for the Sar Torah practices are reduced to a pool of their own bile, then there has to be something in which those who make this material accessibly inaccessible should be converted into something like platinum dust in a tornado: let them become what they value most highly, and their materialistic natures be scattered.
thanks!!!
I love learning your channel please never stop teaching us
37:41 the ritual gives you _5 Torahbytes (תB)_ of memory, obviously! 😂
39:02 “Maybe it’s you, maybe it’s [The Gospel of Mary] _Magdalene_ .”
5gb is loads of memory... for text ^_^ Great video sir!
OMG So much of this is reminding me of my own fairly rigid Mormon upbringing. Mormonism has this weird fixation on being included amongst the Tribes of Israel (they consider themselves to be something like 'perfected jews' who aren't allowed to advertise it yet but who are gonna lead/save everybody), but i'm fascinated by how much of the daily ritualistic/behavioural minutiae crosses over to my extreme/fundamentalistic mormon childhood. The fetish for reading and re-reading and the emphasis on rote memorisation are particularly familiar. @7:20 To this day, my brother and i both have WICKEDLY good memorisation skills. :)
Hey hey, Dr Justin... PROFESSOR Justin. What does it feel like to KNOW that you will go down with the greats, dude. Does it feel good, huh? Huh? You've made it man. You are number one for our times. We so love you. Me, I just want to pull your beard. You frikkin' deserve it. Good job, well done. Respect. Total, seriously total respect.
Thank you so much for your continued dedication to this work. It's indescribably appreciated. Thank you
Cool episode!
Can NOT’..! Thank you Enough! You daBomb😎🤩🥳
Thank you, as always, for doing what you do.
I didn't fast with this intention...but I do see now where I went wrong. I did come apon a book while post fasting and a deck deck of cards both using the Merkabah phrase to Wich I had never heard used before. I won't be attempting this again anytime soon. As I am still in physical recovery over a year later from fasting down to 78 pounds....and boy oh boy did I stink. I'm guessing coffee and green peppers, and Marlboros need should be refrained from. But I feel like I learned allot today. I will likely now wait until my child is grown and I am post mensi before actually attempting this.
very fascinating!
I just love esoterica ❤
Once again fantastic Dr. Sledge!!
Bravo, Justin!
This is kind of a mental overload. This is actually more difficult than at least the reads of the Sefirot Zohar.
A couple of issues
If we dont know how to properly translate the greek magical papyri, how can we claim an association, is this just by style and genre?
Second issue. It seems like the bible is anti-mystical except within the domain of prophets who have at least some birth right to being a prophet, and prophesy generally confines itself to certain things like glorifying the splendor of Yahweh, speaking about the future doom of some impious figure, or glorifying a future temple or kingdom.
Many of these texts seem to fall along the axis of western mysticism, but in your passage describing Akiva going back and forth to conjure holy spirit, it sounded very much like a mesopotamian tale. This issue of creating a psychological barrier to mysticism seems like an attempt to be esoteric and scare away or fend of exterior mystical attempts (e.g. Peters respinse to Simon the Samarian joining the Jesus movement).
I think this was a kind of wall between most Judaism and a certain level of practice.
And what about Akiva, he's like a Daniel/Hercules figure, going all these places and heroically doing all the magical stuff while everyone else falls short.
I think that the invocation of angels and the intense preparatory rituals are an attempt to make the mysticism so difficult, and if the mystic says something that the teacher doesn't like, well its because the traveler was not prepared. Fasting rituals are a kind of Magick, as well as intense prayers . . . . .Its very difficult to make a comment about the value of the mysticism because its so entrenched in pious rituals its almost to say that the mysticism is the pious rituals and little more. You invoke and angel on your behalf by being extremely pious and circumvent the problem of seeing Yahweh's junk.
When thinking of the lengths that scholars would go to assist them in memorizing and understanding ancient texts, I’m reminded of some of the poignant last words of Pope John Paul I, before his death from exhaustion “if only someone could invent a machine that could read for you.”
I agree with the angles ,,,,oh doc ,,,great line,,,,,
Excellent video. I marvel at the sheer amount of information you have in your head.
When are you going to do a video about the Mideaval monasteries and scriptoriums where the monks sat for years on end copying texts. There has to be an esoteric side to that somewhere. I think that would be very interesting.
Love your informative videos! They are full of great information!
as always, what a pleasure to learn so much from you. Thank you.
Great work, Dr Sledge- keep fighting the good fight 😊
I want a video about The Silmarillion. xD
Thank you so much for the videos and all of the invaluable knowledge you have to share!
You opened my eyes on a whole new world sir .. thank you from all my heart as you helped me in my journey
Thank you
