So now Egyptians had no wands ... they where copies of a yad pointer [ " It is possible that wands were used by pre-historic peoples. It is mentioned that 'rods' (as well as rings) were found with Red Lady of Paviland in Britain. .... During the Middle Kingdom of Egypt, apotropaic wands began to be used during birth ceremonies. These wands were made out of hippopotamus tusks .... The earliest apotropaic wands used in Egypt were undecorated, but "from around 1850 BC, they were usually provided with decorations of apotropaic figures directly related to the sun religion, or particular aspects of it, inscribed on the convex upper side... most of whom carry knives to ward off evil forces".[3] These apotropaic wands were also inscribed with protective text ... The concept of magic wands was used by the ancient Greek writer Homer, in his epic poems ... . Homer wrote that magic wands were used by three different gods, namely Hermes, Athena, and Circe. In The Iliad, Homer wrote that Hermes generally used his magic wand Caduceus to make people sleep and wake up. In The Odyssey, Homer wrote that Athena used her magic wand to make Odysseus old, and then young again, and that Circe used her magic wand to turn Odysseus's men into pigs. ... By the 1st century AD, the wand was a common symbol of magic in Roman cults, especially Mithraism .] Edited October 23 by Nungali 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nungali Posted October 29 (edited) 1 hour ago, Daniel said: What ever it is, Ohhhh ... all of a sudden you have shifted from it being an artificial pointing finger to protect the Torah to a 'whatever it is ' Quote this "wand" would not be "idolatrous", nor "superstitious". See quote above. Ummm ... the description of the Abramelin ritual in the book come after he met the Egyptian Abramelin and he instructed him in the ritual, which is the bit quoted before about the magical tools used ..... which you said was a pointer , a trying cord and a mere robe , ecet you 'forgot ' to explain why a croen is needed . Do Jews need a crown on their head to read Torah . Go on tell me which one is 'the crown ' ; Its this one isnt it Quote You seem to assume that any and all "Egyptian" is the same. Of course I dont and I have no idea why you would assume that . Its probably more of a projection from yourself other than what I think . Quote Chapter 2 of the book contrasts a diabolical "Egyptian" with Abramelin. What ! ? Take a powder Daniel ! " I learned that at Mayence there was a Rabbi who was a notable Sage, and the report went that he possessed in full the Divine Wisdom.

Mayence ; the French name for Mainz a port in W Germany, capital of the Rhineland-Palatinate, at the confluence of the Main. Lookit up ! The diabolical one was a German Jew . Nungali Quote What does Abramelin teach? Does he teach Egyptian ceremonial magic with ritual wands? Go back and read the bit about the ritual I already posted . Its from BOOK TWO , after many chapters it starts to describe the ritual .... what you are citing (with omissions ) is from book one . You are either confused or trying to confuse .... or trying to bluff your way through a subject you know nothing about and making mistakes as you are doing quick searches to try and get 'up to speed' just to criticise things that dont fit in with your religious viewpoint .
