The Work of the Chariot: Hermetic Shamanism for the Modern World - Paperback

by David Benton (Author)

A practical guide to merkavah mysticism, suitable for VERY experienced magicians. There are many books available about Qabalah but very little has been written about older forms of Jewish mysticism. This book seeks to address that lack of information by describing one of the oldest, merkavah mysticism, an ancient technique that is similar to shamanism, but with a very different purpose. Where shamans seeks to contact animal spirits, merkavah mystics seeks to penetrate the seven Heavens and stand before the throne chariot of God. Within this book you will find detailed instructions for performing merkavah mysticism, adapted from Medieval sources, along with the names and functions of the entities you will encounter, all in an easy to use format that avoids the obscurism of the medieval material. The author has used this material himself and can vouch for its efficacy. This book is suitable for all those who are interested in ancient Jewish mysticism and advanced forms of practical work. WARNING The techniques contained within this book are NOT suitable for beginners.
