4.0 out of 5 stars The Greatest Kabbalistic Magical Work, January 29, 2000

By 

David Kidybinski - See all my reviews

This review is from: Book of the Angel Raziel (Hebrew Edition) (Paperback)

The Book of Raziel is one of the only works of the authentic Jewish magical Kabbalah to be printed. It includes sections dealing with magical angelic names, protective amulets, Kabbalistic diagrams, and excerpts from the works of great Kabbalists. It is a compilation of Jewish magical literature, some of which dates back to the first few centuries CE and all the way through to the seventeenth century. This book is very hard to find and is written only in Hebrew. It is said that just possessing it protects one's home from fire.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not a good copy, but..., January 29, 2006

This review is from: Book of the Angel Raziel (Hebrew Edition) (Paperback)

Well, the good side of this edition is that the text is all here, including the diagrams and all. It's a rather nice, portable little edition, printed right-to-left as is the custom for Hebrew books.

The down side is that it's a rather poor quality facsimile copy. Much of the text is written in extremely small print, and it can be extremely difficult to make out the letters in many places. Alot of the text is either too dark or too light to read. Many letters appear smeared or blobbed together from the photocopy.

That said, this is still the best copy you're likely to find. I've been searching for a while for any copy of this book, and this is the only copy I've been able to find. Parts of the text are readable, and the diagrams are perfectly legible. If you really want a copy of this book, this is the best you're likely to find.

But if you do find a better copy, please let me know!

5.0 out of 5 stars There is a reason why this isn't translated, August 6, 2001

This review is from: Book of the Angel Raziel (Hebrew Edition) (Paperback)

The reason this hasn't been translated, and wouldn't work if it was, is that you should be fully versed in the many and varied meanings of each hebraic word used. IE; there is a big difference between Elohim and YHVH yet it English it all gets translated to God. You would be best served to learn Hebrew and steep yourself in QBLH writings start with the Sephir Yetzirah and such.
