The Magic of the Sword of Moses | Free Book
A Practical Guide to Its Spells, Amulets, and Ritual
A practical guide to the famed medieval book of
pre-kabbalistic Jewish magic, freshly interpreted and revealed for
the first time with instructions on how to use the spells.
The Sword of Moses is one of the earliest Jewish magic books, which describes a rite for adjuring angels to assist in controlling and wielding the "Sword of Moses" for magical purposes. The rite involves a short period of purification and then the adjuring of four sets of angels, each higher than the last. These angels in turn give the magician the power to control the Sword through a series of divine names that work as magical spells. The spells, 137 in all, have a wide variety of uses, including healing, harm, love, sex, exorcising demons, divination, and more.
This work was first translated by Moses Gaster in 1896, but he removed many of the spells, making the text unusable for magic. The Magic of the Sword of Moses is the first book to show in detail, exactly how a magician can use the Sword—how to do the purification ritual, adjure the angels, and pronounce and use the divine names for each spell.

In The Press
“The Sword of Moses is one of the most intriguing examples of
Jewish magic from late antiquity. In this work, Harold Roth not only
contextualizes the material through its sources, development, and
influence, but also makes it accessible to the modern reader. In a
lucid and scholarly style, the author opens the door to practice of
the magic of the Sword today. This is an excellent book and a welcome
addition to the literature on Jewish magic and grimoires which I
wholeheartedly recommend.” —David Rankine, author of The Grimoire Encyclopedia
