Jewish Magic-Ancient Into Modern, and its DailyPractice

Jewish Magic-Ancient Into Modern, and its Daily Practice

According to Abrahamic spiritual traditions, the relationship between words and magic goes back to the very creation of the world.

In the first part of this class, Tamar will focus on Judaism, the earliest of these traditions, and the deep and ancient magic it and its language hold. These include spoken and written practices, communal and solitary practices, in Hebrew, and English translation. We will also touch on modern magical practices that derive from this ancient magic. She will explain the magic of the Hebrew letters (the Aleph Beit) themselves, the messages and meaning they contain, the words and sentences they make, and the ancient Hebrew writings that have survived into modern times.

In the second part of this class we will focus on daily practice of Jewish magic in modern times. While she will give an overview, the bulk of this session will be on applying the magic ourselves, now. We will explore how to use the Letters of the Aleph Bet themselves for divination, meditation, and spell work. Tamar will have several sets for participants to use as they explore this magickal practice.

Participants need not have prior experience or knowledge in order to participate in and enjoy this class.

Bio:
Born and raised in Jerusalem, Tamar has been steeped in the city’s magic and energy all her life. This ancient place has shaped her development, as both a person and a practitioner. Always drawn to the unseen forces around and within us, she began consciously practicing at the age of 21, developing her reach and understanding ever since. As a result, she is knowledgeable in several types of work: ancestor, energy, herbal, divination, and more. Her experiences in New Orleans have further deepened and expanded her practice and understanding. Tamar has a unique perspective of Jewish Magic, given her depth of knowledge in Jewish custom, history, magical practice and the magic of place. She is currently writing a book on these topics.
