Practical Kabbalah (Hebrew: קַבָּלָה מַעֲשִׂית Kabbalah Ma'asit) in historical Judaism, is a branch of the Jewish mystical tradition that concerns the use of magic. It was considered permitted white magic by its practitioners, reserved for the elite, who could separate its spiritual source from Qliphoth realms of evil if performed under circumstances that were holy (Q-D-Š) and pure, tumah and taharah (טומאה וטהרה). The concern of overstepping Judaism's strong prohibitions of impure magic ensured it remained a minor tradition in Jewish history. Its teachings include the use of Divine and angelic names for amulets and incantations.

  • Practical Kabbalah (Hebrew: קַבָּלָה מַעֲשִׂית Kabbalah Ma'asit) in historical Judaism, is a branch of the Jewish mystical tradition that concerns the use of magic. It was considered permitted white magic by its practitioners, reserved for the elite, who could separate its spiritual source from Qliphoth realms of evil if performed under circumstances that were holy (Q-D-Š) and pure, tumah and taharah (טומאה וטהרה). The concern of overstepping Judaism's strong prohibitions of impure magic ensured it remained a minor tradition in Jewish history. Its teachings include the use of Divine and angelic names for amulets and incantations. Practical Kabbalah is mentioned in historical texts, but most Kabbalists have taught that its use is forbidden. It is contrasted with the mainstream tradition in Kabbalah of Kabbalah Iyunit (contemplative Kabbalah), that seeks to explain the nature of God and the nature of existence through theological study and Jewish meditative techniques. According to Gershom Scholem, many of the teachings of practical Kabbalah predate and are independent of the theoretical Kabbalah which is usually associated with the term: Historically speaking, a large part of the contents of practical Kabbalah predate those of the speculative Kabbalah and are not dependent on them. In effect, what came to be considered practical Kabbalah constituted an agglomeration of all the magical practices that developed in Judaism from the Talmudic period down through the Middle Ages. The doctrine of the Sefirot hardly ever played a decisive role in these practices..." (en)
  • La Cabala pratica (in ebraico: קבלה מעשית‎?, Qabbalah Ma'asit) nell'ebraismo rabbinico è una branca della tradizione mistica che tratta dell'uso della magia. Era considerata lecita come magia bianca dai suoi praticanti, riservata all'élite, che poteva separare la sua fonte spirituale dai reami Qelipot del male se esercitata in santità e purezza. La preoccupazione di sconfinare nelle gravi proibizioni ebraiche di magia impura fece sì che rimanesse una tradizione minore nella storia ebraica. I suoi insegnamenti includono l'uso di nomi divini e angelici per amuleti e incantesimi. Kabbalah Ma'asit viene citata in testi storici, ma la maggioranza dei cabalisti insegnano che il suo uso è proibito. La Cabala pratica si contrappone alla tradizione principale della Kabbalah Iyunit ("Cabala contemplativa"), che cerca di spiegare la natura di Dio e dell'esistenza mediante lo studio teosofico e le tecniche mentali. Secondo lo storico Gershom Scholem, molti degli insegnamenti della Cabala pratica sono precedenti e indipendenti dalla Cabala teorica, che viene usualmente associata al termine: (it)
