SECRETS OF THE PSALMS
SECRETS OF THE PSALMS
A few of the "secrets of the Psalms" are offered here are as part of a translation of Kabalistic teachings. The psalms referred to are the Psalms of David found in all regular translations of the Bible. I have not repeated the Psalms here, only giving the number for you to look up in your own personal Bible.
The Psalms have been used throughout the ages in the same way as "spells" or lucky mantras have been used. Each Psalm has been attributed a certain power according to Kabalistic teachings. Sometimes a prayer is combined with the Psalm, as well as the use of olive or some other holy oil; sometimes it is just the Psalm itself that is prayed a certain number of times while concentrating on a Holy Word. (some derivative of "God", such as "Adonai" or "Jehovah.")
These Psalms are offered freely for your information and I will add more as time and space permits. Please use them carefully and with reverence. I am not here to confirm or deny the power of what lies below, simply to supply the information that has been taught for thousands of years. Use them wisely!
Psalm for Successful Business
Psalm #8: If you wish a successful business venture or to procure the goodwill in your business transactions, you should pray this Psalm three days in succession after sundown, thinking all the while of the Holy name of Rechmial, which signifies strong and merciful God of love, grace, and mercy. After praying the Psalm #8, thinking the name Rechmial, also say the following prayer over a small quantity of olive oil: "May it please thee, Oh, Rechmial Eel, to grant that I may obtain love, grace, and favour in the eyes of men according to they holy will. Amen! Selah!"
Psalm to Stop Persecution
Psalm #11: To put a stop to persecution in all forms, pray this Psalm daily in devotion keeping constantly in mind the holy name of Pele , that all conspiracies against you may be set aside. After praying Psalm #11, close with the following prayer: "Adorable, might, and holy God Pele, with thee is advice, action, and power, and only thou canst work wonders. Turn away from me all that is evil, and protect me from the persecution of evil ones, for the sake of the Great Name Pele. Amen. Sela."
Psalm to Stop all Libel
Psalm #35: To stop all evil, slanderous libel being maliciously spread about you, pray this Psalm daily and they will cause you no evil. Use the holy name Tehom.
Psalm to Make Yourself Beloved by Your Fellow-Men
Psalm #47: If you wish to be respected, beloved, well received in any and all situations, pray this Psalm seven times daily.
Psalm to Make Your Home Lucky
Psalm #61: If you are moving into a new home, repeat this Psalm in the home, just before moving in, trusting in the name of Schaddel, and you will experience good fortune and luck in the new home. For your present home, clean from top to bottom with plain spring water, leave the home, and then return and repeat this Psalm seven days in a row.
Psalms for Making Peace between Husband and Wife
Psalms 45 and 46 -- Whoever has a scolding wife, let him pronounce the 45th Psalm over pure olive oil, and anoint his body with it, when his wife, in the future will be more lovable and friendly. But if a man has innocently incurred the enmity of his wife, and desires a proper return of conjugal love and peace, let him pray the 46th Psalm over olive oil, and anoint his wife thoroughly with it, and, it is said, married love will again return.
(Psalm 45 refers to anointing with "the oil of gladness" and to the "rejoicing" that occurs when the "glorious" daughter of the King of Tyre is brought before the King. Psalm 46 contains the words, "God is in the midst of her...God shall help her...He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the Earth.")
Psalm for Safe Travel at Night
Psalm 121 -- Are you compelled to travel alone by night, pray this Psalm reverently seven times, and you will be safe from all accidents and evil occurrences.
(Psalm 121 opens with the line, "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.")
Psalm for Severe Headache or Backache
Psalm 3 -- Whosoever is subject to severe headache and backache, let him pray this Psalm [...] over a small quantity of olive oil, [and] anoint the head or back while in prayer. This will afford immediate relief.
(Psalm 3 contains the line, "Thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter of mine head.")
Psalm for a Repentant Liar
Psalm 132 -- If you have sworn to perform anything punctually, and notwithstanding your oath you neglect to perform your obligation, and in this manner have perjured yourself, you should, in order to avoid a future crime of a similar kind, pray this Psalm daily with profound reverence.
(Psalm 132 contains the line, "The Lord hath sworn the truth unto David; he will not turn from it.")
"Secrets of the Psalms" is an artifact of the mystical Jewish belief in the magical efficacy of the recitation of God's Holy Word. That this tradition was mined by a millennarian Christian German and brought to America where it became a magical receipt-book among the descendents of Africans is just "one of those crazy things" that makes life among the humans so interesting.
Below please find a short opinion by Prof. B. concerning words used in the Secrets of the Psalms. This was in answer to inquiries concerning the origins of the "Holy Names" used within the Psalms. This is a learned and educated opinion, but it is an opinion. It is suggested that further study on the subjects of Hebrew, the Kabala, Chaldean and other languages would be the route to take for further clarification if one were interested in such. The Professor's answer is unedited by the author of this website.
Holy Names
"Holy name," "sacred word," "mystic word," or "barbaric word of power" is really just a title, a way to call importance to the word referenced. I utilize some of these terms simply because they are in common use. Some people abstract the shemhamforash/schemahamephoras, or seventy-two holy names of the absolute or prime mover, from the psalms of Solomon, in a similar fashion to that indicated below, and it is true that in many cases the magical word may be one of those.
The words which are considered during the recitation of the psalms are extracted from the hebrew version of the psalm in question through the usage of gematria and/or notaricon and other cabalistic devices.
Think of the psalms not as judeochristian but as purely judaic in origin and content. The christians have adopted the psalms and included them in their bible for their own purposes, such as philosophical meditation, and to prove that their god existed.
The semitic and chaldean languages have many similarities, so it would only be natural that one could either find or imagine relationships, and many of these relationships would, in the sacred scriptures, be considered legitimate, while some would not... but all of that is open to question and individual judgement, since familiar sounds and sound combinations may be found in any linguistic comparison.
Do not forget that jerusalem was captured by the babylonians and that many judaeans were exiled to babylon. Aramaic is the semitic language adopted by the jews after their babylonian exile, and chaldee is the aramaic vernacular that was the original language of the bible. Chaldea was a region of ancient babylonia and chaldee was the semitic language of the chaldeans. The semites were akkadians, phoenicians, hebrews, and arales. Akkadian was a semitic language of ancient mesopotamia while babylonian was a form of the akkadian language used in ancient babylonia, and even remnant facets of this would reside within the language or languages that were in use concurrent to the babylonian exile. Semitic is a subfamily of the afro-asiatic language family which includes hebrew and aramaic. Hebrew is the semitic language of the hebrews of northern israel who were within the grouping of northern semitic peoples, and the israelites are included in the hebrew grouping. A jew is a descendant of a member of the tribe of judah, who was an ancester of one of the tribes of israel.
In order to learn how to find the words, a study of ciphers and cabbalistic manipulations until the whole concept becomes familiar to you might help. Also, try searching old original alchemical writings for experience, and realize that what is written is exactly what was meant, but was not for just anyone to understand. They are encoded through usage of metaphor and allegory, which are rampant within the texts, yet they become very clear to one who understands the technical vocabulary. Again, try looking into the bacon-shakespeare controversy on the baconian side for an interesting study of anagrammatic application as well as many other analytical tricks. Realize that, for instance, the book of genesis is not what it appears, and worse yet, its translation into english has even more concealed its message. A study of the books of the torah would not be a bad start. It may be that to fully understand any of this, if that would ever be possible, it might be necessary to undertake a formal education in linguistics. All this is a more-than-one-lifetime study, the profundities of the ancient writings, and there are many more hidden sacred traditions than just the jewish qabbalah, and even more surprising, they all seem to strangely interrelate.
In short, other than offering up the fact that the names used on the page herein concerning the psalms are hebrew words but written in english letters so that the presumably english-speaking reader can pronounce and understand the words, it would take extensive study to get to the origins of the words. It is up to the individual who wants to learn to do his/her own education on these matters.
The historic source and origination of a word is really of no significance to the use of the word unless one wishes to verify that it is the proper word to use. What is of greater importance is whether the word works, or achieves its purpose, and that is proven through actual application. These "holy names," or "words or power," or "mantras," or whatever you wish to call them, when pronounced, set up vibratory activity in the surrounding atmosphere and in your body, so that there occur changes in the electrical vibratory rate of your chakras and/or sephiroth and surrounding personal "space," or auric field in such a manner as to affect in a magnetic-like way your relationship with your environment, and so that different sounds activate different compartments of your brain and various of your internal organs so that consciousness is temporarily impressed into those facets of your body in such case as to help do the work required for the psalms to take effect.
