"The Book of Sacred Names" in print!!

I am delighted to let you know that "The Book of Sacred Names" is now officially in print, and I think it appeared on a most auspicious day — the Summer Solstice (or Winter if you live in the Southern Hemisphere).

References & Bibliography

"The Book of Sacred Names" is a practical guide into the meditational and magical applications of ancient Hebrew Divine Names. Perpetuating the tenets of traditional Kabbalists who recognised the fundamental bond between "Kabbalah" and "Magic," this text offers step by step instructions on the deliberate and conscious control of personal life circumstances, by means of the most cardinal components of Kabbalistic doctrines and techniques — Divine Names! The material addressed in this tome derives from the extensive primary literature of "Practical Kabbalah," much of which is appearing here in print for the first time in English translation.

In conclusion I should mention that since I dealt with Hebrew incantations as well as with magical objects from the domain of Jewish magic, e.g. Hebrew amulets, associated Chotamot (magic squares), etc., I decided to include the original Hebrew with easily accessible accompanying transliterations, as well as translations. As can be expected, this material having been derived from primary resources from the domain of "Practical Kabbalah," necessitated the inclusion of a large number of illustrations.
