The Talmud: An Occultist Introduction

The Talmud is Judaism's central non-scriptural text and almost entirely unread outside it. Baal Kadmon's The Talmud: An Occultist Introduction, first published in 2017, gives occult readers a working map. The author recounts his own experience with the Talmud, then covers its history and makeup, an example of Torah law elucidation, the mention of Jesus in the Talmud, and the Talmud's views on non-Jewish people, before the chapters this audience will turn to first: occultism and magick in the Talmud and rabbinic tradition, and the oddities of the Talmud, the strange passages of medicine, demonology, and cosmology that rabbinic literature carries. Kadmon writes as a practitioner describing what another practitioner needs, not as an academic, and keeps the book under seventy pages. It pairs with his Devils, Demons and Ghosts in the Hebrew Tradition, which supplies the demonological depth this introduction points toward, and with his Watchers and Moloch studies. First published in 2015 by the author.
