When one begins to develop their magical skill, it becomes apparent early on that Hebrew is a cornerstone of the Western Esoteric Tradition. It is hard to find quality books on magick and the occult that don’t address it, but from an outside perspective, it may seem foreign and intimidating. Often times it may also feel antithesis to who we are and what we do, with many claiming it triggers unhealed spiritual wounds. However, without it, we are choosing to cut ourselves off from a large part of western spirituality. In this class, we will take a closer look at the language, including origins and roots, in order to see how to use it in our practical work without any sort of spiritual baggage. This is NOT a class to learn to speak or write the language, nor is it an introduction to Judaism, but rather this will give you the basics so that you can implement its usage into your own personal practice and so that you can navigate the references to it as you encounter them.

Important Mental Health Notice

Before proceeding, please acknowledge and accept our formal position. We do not accept the models proposed by various occult groups that portray angels or demons as abstract beings with agency or will of their own. Rather, we view them purely as representations of the practitioner’s individual psyche. We also regard the reasons for their changes over time and the similarities between cultures as evidence of a shared human unconscious, referred to by Jung as the collective unconscious.

This means it is not “the devil” that makes people do harmful things; people alone are responsible for their actions. When someone has an unhealthy relationship with these parts of the psyche, their experience can become distorted. They may require professional therapy and the guidance of a mental health professional; otherwise, they risk taking these powers of the unconscious to a dark place because those parts have been corrupted by misinformation, trauma, or both.

Our position is that each person is the ruler of their own kingdom/reality, and that spirit has no interest in human affairs and is not subject to an ego.

Accordingly, our interpretation of occult systems—from the Tree of Life and Tree of Death to the Goetia and Shem—is purely symbolic. We treat them through the IFS (Internal Family Systems) model as representational frameworks that illustrate splits within the human psyche, and we work with them in a manner similar to “duality therapy.”

Therefore, any person claiming that a spirit instructed them to do X or Y is expressing a cry for help and should be treated as such.

This is why this movement is clearly marked by the identifier “God Is Not Therapy.” We are not here to provide therapy, but to present a model of these forces and practices for the purpose of understanding, navigating, and working with one’s own unconscious. By proceeding, you acknowledge your responsibility to seek professional assistance if you are experiencing any of these issues before continuing with this work.
