Sepher Ha-Razim
The Book of the Mysteries
Michael Morgan's translation of Sefer ha-Razim, a late antique Jewish magical treatise, describes seven heavens populated by angels and gives rituals to invoke them for healing, divination, love and protection. The text shows strong parallels with the Greek magical papyri. Published by Scholars Press, it is a key primary source for ancient Jewish magic. It remains essential reading.
