Practical Kabbalah

and Self Creation

This blog is devoted to an investigation into the
topics addressed by Jacobus G. Swart in "The
Book of Self Creation," "The Book of Sacred
Names," "The Book of Seals & Amulets," and "The
Book of Immediate Magic - Part 1," study guides
for all who seek God within and who prefer to
steer the courses of their lives in a personal
manner.

Dealing with Danger

The fundamental premise behind both "The Book
of Self Creation" and "The Book of Sacred
Names," is that every individual is constantly
creating his or her own reality. This means that
what you "act on" you "make real," and whilst
one may be constantly mindful not to "buy" into
the kind of "realities" one doesn't want in ones
life, it could well turn out that one finds oneself
in unanticipated and apparently uninvited
malevolent circumstances. With hindsight one
might also perceive how one, in ones personal
"vulnerabilities," actually "set up" the conditions
which resulted in the unfortunate "reality" one is
having to face. This is all good and well, and
very important of course. However, regarding
having to deal with such "dangerous situations,"
there are some interesting suggestions to be
found in "Practical Kabbalah." I thought some of
these might be of interest to those interested in
the material shared on this blog. The mentioned
suggestions pertain to the use of the thirteenth
three-letter portion of the "Forty-two Letter
Name" in conjunction with the Ineffable Name
and the "Name of Seventy-two Names," as
delineated in the "Shorshei ha-Shemot" by Moses
Zacutto.

It should be noted that this section of the "Forty-

two Letter Name" ( ) pertains to the

sefirah of Malchut (Kingdom), and in this
instance it is vocalised "ShuKoVa." In order to
employ this Name in the manner we addressed in
this missive, it has to be conjoined with the

Ineffable Name, i.e. reading "YiHaV'Ha."

This is done in the following manner:

The concluding Divine Name combination is

which is pronounced
Yishuhakov’vaha.

It is said the Name ShuKoVa, and its combination

with the Ineffable Name, will literally shout at a
recipient if intended to do so, and will scare off
demonic forces, e.g. Shedim. We are reminded
that the Name ShuKoVa and its associated "Spirit
Powers," function most dynamically and potently
on a Monday or a Wednesday, hence they should
be invoked on these days. The adjuration
employed to elicit the aid of the listed "Spirit
Forces" in the "Name" of Yishuhakov’vaha, the
combination of ShuKoVa and the Ineffable Name,
must include the utterance of the following two
biblical verses:

Transliteration:

El n’kamot YHVH el n’kamot hofi’a

(Psalm 94.1)

Va-yomer Moshe el Aharon kach et

ha-machta v’ten aleiha esh mei’al ha-
mizbeach v’sim k’toret v’holeich
m’heirah el ha-eidah v’chapeir
aleihem ki yatza ha-ketzef milifnei
YHVH heichel ha-nagef (Numbers
16:46 [17:11])

Translation:

Thou God to whom vengeance

belongeth, YHVH, Thou God to whom
vengeance belongeth, shine forth.
(Psalm 94.1)

And Moses said unto Aaron: "Take thy

fire-pan, and put fire therein from off
the altar, and lay incense thereon,
and carry it quickly unto the
congregation, and make atonement
for them; for there is wrath gone out
from YHVH: the plague is begun."
(Numbers 16:46 [17:11])

The general idea here is that those who intend

using this portion of the "Forty-two Letter
Name," should in this instance construct their
own adjurations. However, I am aware that most
readers would not be familiar enough with the
Hebrew vernacular to facilitate this, hence I
have included below an appropriate adjuration
which can be broadly employed for a variety of
related reasons.

Transliteration:

Ani mashbi’achem atem ha-g’vurot

ha-elyon, Nafli’el, Cheimah, Ketzef,
Gavri’el, Sama’el, Yechi’el, Kaftzi’el,
Rogzi’el, b’shem ShuKoVa
Yishuhakov’vaha, hoshi’eini mip’nei
r’sha’im zu shaduni, shitah morah
lahem,

El n’kamot YHVH el n’kamot hofi’a,

Va-yomer Moshe el Aharon kach et

ha-machta v’ten aleiha esh mei’al ha-
mizbeach v’sim k’toret v’holeich
m’heirah el ha-eidah v’chapeir
aleihem ki yatza ha-ketzef milifnei
YHVH heichel ha-nagef

shalom yiyeh li, omein netzach selah

v’ad

Translation:

I adjure you the Powers of the

Almighty, Nafli’el, Cheimah, Ketzef,
Gavri’el, Sama’el, Yechi’el, Kaftzi’el,
Rogzi’el, in the Name ShuKoVa
Yishuhakov’vaha, save me from the
face of the wicked who want to
oppress me. Set fear upon them.

Thou God to whom vengeance

belongeth, YHVH, Thou God to whom
vengeance belongeth, shine forth.

And Moses said unto Aaron: "Take thy

fire-pan, and put fire therein from off
the altar, and lay incense thereon,
and carry it quickly unto the
congregation, and make atonement
for them; for there is wrath gone out
from YHVH: the plague is begun."

I will have peace, amen, victory,

selah, and eternal.

It is worth considering that, whilst there are

indeed occasions when the severity of physical
circumstances necessitates the use of such a
drastic action, eliciting the aid of these very
powerful "Spirit Forces" for unfair, selfish
purposes, or in an irresponsible manner, is likely
to cause the magical action to blow up in ones
face with unexpected repercussions.

Besides this most aggressive application of

ShuKoVa, which may indeed be necessary in
certain circumstances, there is also a more
compassionate usage in which this Divine Name
is linked to Chesed, the quality of Mercy and
Lovingkindness on the sefirotic Tree. In this
instance the "Divine Power," as it were, derives
from the angel Micha’el, who is depicted a "high
priest" of El Elyon ("El Most High"). In this regard,
we are informed that just as Aaron is High Priest
below on earth, so is Micha’el High Priest in the
celestial realms above, this being indicated in
the last two words of the concluding sentence of
Leviticus 9:4 which reads:

Transliteration:

....Ki hayom YHVH nir’ah aleichem

Translation:

.....for today YHVH appeareth unto

you.

The phrase ("appeareth unto

you") is considered an anagram of
("Aharon Micha’el").

There are several benevolent angelic powers and

Divine Names affiliated with the Name ShuKoVa.
If you desire to align yourself with the "Spirit
Forces" associated with this specific portion of
the "Forty-two Letter Name," or to elicit their
aid for benevolent purposes, whether personal
or altruistic, you need to commence by saying
ShuKoVa Yishuhakov’vaha ( ),
afterwards uttering the following incantation:

Transliteration:

Melech El Elyon Pachdi’el Gazri’el

Nazri’el Tari’el Ozi’el Sandalfon
Ori’el (Uri’el) Micha’el Gavriel
b’choach ha-shem ha-gadol v’ha-

Translation:

King El Most High, Pachdi’el, Gazri’el,

Nazri’el, Tari’el, Ozi’el, Sandalfon,
Ori’el (Uri’el), Micha’el, Gavriel, in
the power of the Great Name and the
Holy, the Strong and the Awesome,
Achatri’el Yah YHVH (vocalised
Yaheivihei) of Hosts, AHVH (vocalised
Eihveh), Elohei Yisra'el, you will
succeed through me [.....fill in your

will do, in the Name of Vehu Yeli Sit
Elem Mahash Lelah Acha Kahet Hezi

Yabam Hayi Mum, and grant authority
to me [.....fill in your Name.....], and
you Achatri’el do this for the sake of
the Name of the Holy One, Blessed be
He, and grant this authority unto me
[.....fill in your Name.....] from now
unto eternity.

In his description of this specific magical

technique, Moses Zacutto did not include the
Shem Vayisa Vayet ("Name of Seventy-two
Names") in the incantation, but simply wrote:

Transliteration:

.....al kol davar she’e’eseh b’shem

ben Ayin"Bet

Translation:

.....with anything I do in the Name of

Seventy-two.

Having worked this technique to great effect

myself, I found it more advantageous to include
the entire "Name of Seventy-two Names," which I
personally believe was intended in the first
place by the abbreviation in the above phrase.
