What if the angel was not above, but within? In this bold and introspective work, Abraham Abulafia recounts his sudden awakening after years of confusion - a moment when the teachings of the angel Raziel finally made sense. But this Raziel is no mythic figure: the name, meaning Secret of God, becomes a symbol of the divine intellect speaking from within the purified self. Divided into seven books, Crucible of the Intellect reveals Abulafia’s system of mental refinement, prophetic meditation, and letter permutation - a path to hearing the true inner voice.
This is Kabbalah without mystification: raw, intellectual, and revelatory.

Discover the original voice of Kabbalah through the radical teachings of Abraham Abulafia, who dismantles the illusion of magic and mysticism to reveal a deeper, inner path. Crucible of the Silver is not a manual of ceremonies or spells - it is a philosophical and spiritual work that exposes the errors of superficial ritualism and instead leads the reader into the true foundations of divine knowledge. Through the purification of the mind, the sanctification of speech, and the meditative use of Hebrew letters and Names, Abulafia charts a method for attaining genuine prophecy and intellectual union with the divine. If you have ever questioned the difference between real Kabbalah and the theatrical distortions of it, this book offers the answer.

Step into the luminous tradition of Prophetic Kabbalah with the Lamp of God - Abraham Abulafia's seminal guide to divine knowledge and spiritual transformation. In this foundational work, Abulafia teaches that the Divine Names are not merely sacred symbols, but keys to higher consciousness. By learning to combine, pronounce, and meditate upon these Names, the practitioner begins to align with the inner structure of Creation and awaken the prophetic spirit within. Grounded in the principles of the Book of Formation, this book offers a clear introduction to the mystical power of Hebrew letters and the profound insight that "formation cannot exist without the combination of letters". For seekers of inner light and direct communion with the divine, Lamp of God remains a timeless and essential guide.
