Kabbalah - A Kabbalistic Magic text for producing a Magical Cloak - The Sefer HaMalbush
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 чер 2021
- The magical cloak is a common motif in both the history and mythology of magic. In this episode, I explore a c 10th century ce text of Jewish Magic which describes the production of a magical cloak imbued with Divine and Angelic names - The Sefer HaMalbush or the Book of the Garment. I also explore a similar text - the Sefer HaYashar - which describes similar divine names along with a series of astral-angelic correspondences! Both texts go on to become important texts in both Kabbalah and Jewish magic more generally.

I would love to hear an elaboration of "what angels rule the hours of the day". That sounds facinating.

The Sledgester strikes again with another interesting video!
This channel has high quality content presented with an engaging teaching style. Thank you so much for all the effort and hard work.
This is too cool Justin. We need a livestream where you make an attempt at such a garment.
It's the getting of the gazelle parchment that's the hard part :)
@@TheEsotericaChannel Are you required to hunt and kill the gazelle yourself, or can you buy it from someone? Also, how does one "... not be defiled, either by the impurity of the dead,..." while also handling dead gazelle skin? The author leave SO much out!
It’s also interesting to note that Gypsy woman during the dark ages, would often use embroidery to decorate her weeding veil with family knowledge and symbolism. The fasting I believe is to fit into the dress though. The magic seemed to happen after the veil came off.
Considering garments were hand made and could be adjusted I doubt they would need to lose any weight to fit in one. Kinda weird that you assume that was the reason for a married woman to do it when fasting has been used extensively for ages for all kinds of events...
The g word is bad, consider not using it
I venture to guess that this is a more curious and open minded group than you'll usually meet. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if you find it hard to push "new speak wokism" on this bunch. This, after all, is a group familiar with witch trials....
However, that being said, you offered no alternative term for such a rich and diverse culture.
It would make you seem less of an unpaid language tyrant, if you alleviated ignorance instead of just scolding it.
@@numinous2506 The preferred term is Romani.
@@changer1285 you people are insufferable.
9:55 Wow, that reads more like a D&D magic item than anything else.

@@TheEsotericaChannel - It's NOT a Tumah!
Think about it. Relative publication dates should be enough. Now how about an additional tickle, I have been playing D&D since 1978, and studying the Occult longer. If you choose to change your sentence to "that is why D&D magic items are described that way" or equivalent, gain +1 int permanently. If you realize that backwards causality doesn't work, then gain +1 wis as well.
I love Kabbalah, it’s branches go everywhere.
What a gift you r to a Theology & the Academy. TY Dr. Sledge.😀
This is literally becoming one of my favorite channels!
He had a video on something random I was studying alone at home with no guidance. I was learning about Lilith shaking heaven. Very very obscure information.
It's too bizarre that this channel addresses it as I'm learning about it.
Jung called it synchronicity. Maybe just a coincidence?
Either way, it's my favorite channel now too.
As someone who sees my own spirituality as being in the karaite tradition, I'd love to see an episode on any specificly karaite forms of mysticism you might know of! Not sure if we have many records of such things but if we do I think it'd be a a fun contrast to the more mainstream Jewish mysticism we all know and love
To my knowledge, the Karaites really prided themselves on rejecting kabbalah, magic, etc. I could be wrong but I think they kept things pretty spartan in that regard.
@@TheEsotericaChannel that's my impression too! But I have the suspicion that, like a lot of religious communities, part of that could be an unwillingness to describe their own ritualized expressions of supernatural belief and practice in terms they find negative.
@@chables74 Totally possible - even likely - but I've never heard of any texts to that effect.
PLEASE do a video on MAGIC SWORDS
You should have a Magic Cloak available in your merch; (merchandise). Along with your own essays maybe even a graded pamphlet for the more serious scholars among us. Some original artwork on a T shirt makes a lot of you tubers extra cash. The subject matter here has great potential for commercial enterprise.
I consider myself as someone with excellent taste in humor, since I find your jokes hilarious.
On a more practical level a famous mage once experimented with invisibility saying he was successful.
Decades later a researcher found an article in which said mage was "seen" and reported photographed as someone else. Best invisibility spell ever.
Perhaps in the spiritually magical sense being "invisible" means to be unnoticeable under most means. Maby in a way that unless you're being looked for intensely you won't be found.
Please never stop! Love your content.
this guy is amazing. Thank you so much for putting out such great content!
Thanks! I appreciate the straight forward videos.
Hey Doc, I just discovered your channel and I'm reallly loving your style. Thanks for your work!
Love the continuing subtle humor. classy-
You know more than anyone else I know. Great output. I will be looking forward to next Friday's livestream.
Great episode! Why do people write these intense spells? Who are the people writing them? They're definitely educated and well versed in Jewish magical practice. What is the motivation for writing the book of the garment? Also, would anyone really go through with all the demands to have such a powerful tool? These are unknowns, but is there a best conjecture as to writing and/or performing this and similar spells?
I wonder if it was a psychological process, only they didn’t realize it. Sort of like the alchemists.
@@andrewburch7776 good question! Like was the writer thinking, "I bet no one will ever follow through on this to know if it's effective." Or of someone did do the whole thing exactly and didn't get the desired results thought, "I must have messed up somewhere." And many people wouldn't be performing the garment ritual mostly because they'd never have access to the manuscript. And if they did they'd have to be educated and knowledgeable in many of the corresponding systems to begin to understand it. I see these complicated spells almost as a competition between two masters in training. Who can write the most impressive spell incorporating all their learning and knowledge. Folk magic I understand because it's not complicated and makes you feel like you're somewhat in control- like curse tablets or even something as simple as writing a person's name or using an image of them and tearing it up or lighting it on fire. Stuff that is as prolonged as the garment or Abramelin ritual is too much work, definitely for my modern sensibility, but maybe back in the day, those in a cloistered existence, with little to eat any way were like, "sure, why not? Not much else going on anyway..." Maybe it was a personal challenge to see if you could be as disciplined as the text demands? I don't know, but it's super interesting to think about. Maybe the writer and/or practitioner really believed in magic too. I mean, they certainly believed in other non-tangible beliefs. But fascinating that they applied so much of their physical reality into a. writing the ritual and b. performing it (if they did). I guess only they'll know their motivations.
@@ms.oatmealrhubarb7931 damn bro
@@andrewburch7776 I concur :)
Thanks Justin, great that you chuck a bit of humour in there too 👍
Thanks Dr. Sledge!
Ok I know you already did one video about the sefer raziel, and covered it in some more detail in this video, but I'd really love to hear more about it. As a practitioner, Angelic associations with the seasons, zodical signs, and hours are in heavy use today (Damien Echols's last book was on this) and I'd love to see this explored in more depth. Thanks again for the great content, keep up the good work!!!
Amazing, thanks for sharing this information, greetings from México
Such a great channel!
Great channel, keep uo the good work!
I live in Ashdod, Israel.. Next to a haredi zone, and I am pretty sure some of these guys have these cloaks
My Naine (Welsh for Grandmother) instructed me regarding this. Mahalo from Maui
Watching every video in the order they came out in. If I don't watch multiple a day I will never catch up to where you are in these series now. Can information burnout keep me from absorbing this information is something I was thinking about while on a walk today.
Epic rap battles indeed
I would love to try this
Interesting ty doc
Amazing 👏
wow the Magical Cloak workt , i was having difficulty finding this channel
Hey Justin, you have a bit of a hum in your audio. It's real low frequency but you can hear it around 2:20. You might need a ground lift, or may be time to invest in some good shielded monster audio cables.🤷♂️ BTW, love your channel bro! You're one of my favorite Jews... you, my piano player and MCA (R.I.P. 🥺)
Woot! Thanks for all the links, while there are plenty of differences, this brings to mind the magick cloak of Jesus in the Pistis Sophia... or ideas of "cloak riding" in later medieval texts... that is using a cloak for astral flight... which Martin Luther warned against... that it was connected to the Raziel text, and the left pillar text, also suggest this, and Abraham Abulafia also studied the Raziel stuff, and so this could fit with his book "The life of the World to Come"
I hate Martin Luther like literally he bashed so much magick
@@Iconicnotcon yup
@@Iconicnotcon he also wrote books called things like against the Jews. Really really bad guy
Nice channel
This confirms it for me.
Religion is mythology that doesn't know it yet.
Great channel, Dr. Sledge. I’ve subscribed. However, I must say that I was disappointed by the notable absence of any reference to the scholarly works of Kimmy Gibbler on the topic.

Gratitude for sharing knowledge & your time and though studying the content & deriving knowledge is interesting in itself, i can't help but ask, have you or anyone you know personally utilised these techniques successfully or unsuccessfully?
Tool show... ...well played.
That intro was litty
12:25 would you elaborate on the types of spices and incense
Hello Dr. Justin Sledge. I am looking for a good , large size, Jewish Bible (English/Hebrew) that has large print, and gives me a good grounding for Kabbalah and the Sefer Kohar. I am having difficulty finding one. Do you have any recommendations?
HP did draw (er, steal-ish) heavily from the already inspired invisible cloak used by Frodo and Sam in The Lord of the Rings films among other near outright rips of other motifs and figures like Tolkien’s Ringwraiths.
The insights are astounding!
"Here's another book on mage crafting!"
"Does it work?"
"Nope!"
"Well then, let's ship it!"
Dear sir, have you ever heard of the ring of Gygus? I may have spelled it wrong. It granted invisibility. I love the kabbalistic approach. Thanks again for your show.

Speaking of Potter,
There is a lot of great esoteric concepts hiding in there.
Would you be interested in analysing it as a esoteric parable, even comparing with the source of the content etc?
Cool video and all. But where was the in depth tutorial?
Hey! @ 13:16 you said making the dead speak. Would that be classified as some kind of necromancy?
yep, probably
It could also be something more along the lines of speaking with the souls of the dead, like a psychic medium, rather than literally resurrecting them.
I’ve only recently started watching your videos. I’ve watched about 8 so far. Your content is so interesting, it just completely captivates my interest!
I wanted to know though, you seem to have extensive knowledge of this stuff. Do you believe any of this practical magick has any effect on reality? Or is it just all nonsense? I’m genuinely interested.
Once again, brilliant content :)

In the bible you have sorcerers practicing magic, Muslim also believe in sorcery and jewish as well.. If there is good there is also Bad.
@@misstaveras8028 you missed the aliens at the top of the pyramid .. i apologise if this doesn't make sense .. words have a way of confusing people
@@glowstaelf3807 Agree. there is a discussion that they worship higher beings that scientists thinks might be aliens, but theologist say it might be nephlims. Goliath was a Giant that david fought. Also lets not forget that throughout times a lot of practices had been forgotten or basically pushed aside to common people like: like astral projection, astral word, Soul medicine etc . some of it its still practice but the knowledge of these is not bast or easily access.

Emperor’s new clothes, food for thought.
ive enchanted a few hoodies, although with energy working rather than with kabbalistic methods, with a variety of effects. mainly to provide additional warmth or to repel water
I enchant my clothes to make me not naked when I put them on. It works every time without fail. God's practical joke on me was to imbue me with the divine realization that I'm still naked underneath it all.
His deeds will not be forgiven, until he merits.
Yep, allegedly it's supposed to say something like that but it looks like randomly oriented letters even. Neat though!
Ah, so... If there's "Sar Torah" mysticism, then would this, since it is about a garment or garments, be "sartorial mysticism"?
How in the world do these "green" or "red" glowing forms manifest?
The directions sound like the steps to set up any electronic device. Didn't work? Well, here's twenty pages of computer-speak that you have to dig through before tech support will answer any questions.

Depends on the community - some take the occult very seriously others think it's silly superstition
