In the vast landscape of ancient Jewish lore and narratives, the Shamir stands out as incredibly peculiar. This "entity", often depicted as a worm-like creature, weaves its way through the fabric of ancient Jewish texts, as being vital for King Solomons Temple building project. The story of the Shamir is not widely known beyond academic realms. It's like a hidden gem among grander, more familiar tales, yet it holds its own as one of the oddest topics I have come by in Judaism. In this very short text, my goal is to gather the fragmented references scattered across various texts. This exploration starts with the Talmud and Midrash, where the Shamir first emerges as we know it to be. However, there are some ambiguous Biblical texts that seem to refer to it as well. I will get into that in a separate chapter. In the Rabbinic traditions, it's described as a miraculous tool, said to possess the incredible ability to slice through stone, metal, and even diamond. Legend has it that this tool played a crucial role in constructing Solomon's Temple, a sacred task that required a divine touch, far removed from the mundane use of iron tools. In fact, King Solomon and his demons could not have built the temple without this "Worm." I know, it sounds crazy. Aside from King Solomon and his temple narrative, the story of the Shamir extends well beyond his usage of it.

The Talmud is by far the most important set of books in the Jewish faith aside from the Torah or the first five books of the Old Testament. In many ways, the Talmud may even surpass it in importance. I say this because if the Talmud did not exist, the laws that are written in the Torah would not make any sense. So, in this way, it is like Jewish Canon law. Just like Catholic Canon law explains biblical texts of the bible, so too does the Talmud. It does not only explain laws, but it goes into great depth on many other topics as well. While this book will serve as a general introduction, I am gearing this book more towards those in the occult. I do this because of several requests I have received to do so. Most books on the Talmud are written with an implied understanding that the reader is either Jewish or has some knowledge of Hebrew/Aramaic, even if rudimentary. I find this to be exclusionary to everyone else, especially the western practicing occultist. I also gear this book towards occultists because the Talmud itself has several instances of Magick that I feel are quite interesting. I will mention a few in this book. Though there will be no rituals at the end of the book, I think, as an occultist, you will gain a greater understanding of these texts. In this book, I will cover the following: My Experience with the Talmud The History and Makeup of the Talmud The Context in Which It Was Written and Compiled The Language Used in the Talmud. It's not only Hebrew by the way. Example of Torah Law Elucidation The Mention of Jesus In the Talmud The Talmud's Views on Non-Jewish People Occultism and Magick In the Talmud And Finally, some miscellaneous oddities of the Talmud. I hope you will enjoy it

For most of us, we tend to hyper focus on beings such as Angels, demons and spirits of the dead etc. But, as you know, there is more out there than that. There is a class of being that is neither angel nor spirit of the dead. They are a parallel entity to humans. The Islamic Satan is one of these beings; which is a departure from the west where the devil is an angel gone rouge. These entities are so intertwined with us that it is impossible to go about our days without having some interaction with them. When things go bump in the night we assume it is one of the 3 classes of spiritual entities we are most familiar with, demons, angels and spirits of the dead etc. However, more often than not, they are neither of these 3. They are unto a class of their own. In folklore they are known as Jinn also known as Djinn. Jinn were brought to light via the religion of Islam, although texts do mention them before Islam. It is from Islamic stories however where we get a clearer picture of what the Jinn are. In fact, modern ideas of the Genie in the bottle is directly from stories about the Jinn. The word genie is derived from the word Jinn. Aladdin when he rubbed his lamp was speaking to a Jinn. In the west, Jinn are very much misunderstood. Often we associate them with demons or devils. Yes, some do have malevolent intent, and as I mentioned the "devil" in Islam is a Jinn, but there are many Jinn who are "good". They are more like humans than you can imagine, yet they have abilities we do not have, but can harness. In this book, we will discuss not only the nature of and type of Jinn, but also how to bind them to work for you. Before I continue however I'd like to give a warning. Jinn, like other spiritual entities need to be communicated with care. They can grant you what you want, but be careful what you ask for. Jinn are notorious pranksters, you might get what you want, but in a way you really would rather not have it...You have been warned. With that said, let us go deeper into the world of the Jinn.
