Most people think that Kabbalah is the extent of Jewish mysticism. But as with any culture, Judaism is filled with folk magic, myths and other traditions. Information on these pathways has appeared in small bits but never in one volume. Now Rabbi Geoffrey W. Dennis corrects this by identifying over 1,000 terms that have been part of Judaism and Jewish spirituality over the past several thousand years in The Encyclopedia of Jewish Myth, Magic and Mysticism. You may have heard of one group that has their members wear a red string and wonder what this has to do with Jewish mysticism. Rabbi Dennis describes this practice as part of Jewish folk magic, saying that red "has anti-demonic properties. As a result there are a number of amulets that are made incorporating red materials: thread, coral beads or henna." This is just one small example of the information that is included in the book. Ranging from Aaron, the brother of Moses, to zombies, which are created and controlled in a manner similar to a golem, this is the first book of its kind, putting the titular myth, magic and mysticism of the Jewish people in an alphabetical order. This well-researched and documented volume will inspire you and take you in new directions as you see that ancient, medieval and even modern Jews have had stories and beliefs about astrology, numerology, talismans and amulets, magic, angels, ritual objects, mythic and historical figures, and common items. This book is a must for scholars, researchers, Kabbalists, magicians, Pagans and those interested in the popular beliefs of the Jewish people.

Charubel, or John Thomas, is best known for his Degrees of the Zodiac Symbolised which, through reinterpretation by Marc Edmund, gave rise to a system known as Sabian Astrology. He also operated a magical order called the Celestial Brotherhood which was broadly similar to the Golden Dawn, i.e. it had a system of progressive grades, claimed its teachings were from hidden adepts and practiced magical rituals. Notable members of the Celestial Brotherhood included John Yarker and Major Francis George Irwin (who worked with Frederick Hockley). Charubel was also in contact with Peter Davidson and Thomas Burgoyne of the Hermetic Brotherhood of Light.
This work is quite remarkable, being a grimoire of the spirits of plants, minerals and precious stones. The spirit for each has a name, a sigil and an invocation and these are used for healing purposes. In some instances simple rituals derived from folklore are given. The spirit attributions were derived by means of clairvoyant investigation, though the author is known to be familiar with Culpeper. However, this is not herbalism, the plants are not taken or used to prepare medicine, rather the magician attunes to their spirit to invoke sympathetic magic.
Very few original grimoires were produced throughout the 20th Century and despite its gentle tone, this book is undoubtedly a grimoire — a grimoire which has been constantly overlooked.
