Description
Jewish Magic and Superstition by Joshua Trachtenberg was an instant classic upon its release in 1939. At the time, the world of esotericism was flourishing, with many occult societies steeped in the Holy Kabbalah, such as Theosophy and its many offshoots. It is no wonder this work was an integral part of every budding mystic’s library.
Rather the focusing merely on the substantial material Kabbalah provides, Trachtenberg brilliantly breaks down the ancient traditions and superstitions of omens, demons and the general principles of mankind as perceived by the Jewish mystics. Sections on amulets, mystical formulae and elements of Solomonic magic allows the occult student not only a basis of Jewish magic, but also a great deal of historical input and background to digest as well.
Joshua Trachtenberg (1904-1959) was a congressional Rabbi and prolific writer on many aspects of Judaism.
