Jewish Mysticism and Magic
An Anthropological Perspective
Maureen Bloom applies anthropological approaches to Jewish magic and mysticism, from biblical prohibitions and rabbinic attitudes to amulets, incantation bowls, Hekhalot practices and medieval magic. She explores how Jewish communities negotiated the boundaries between religion and magic. This Routledge study suits readers new to the academic study of Jewish magic. Its theoretical framing makes it useful for comparative courses on religion and magic.
