Our goal for part one is to make the Book of Psalms come alive as more than words on a page. In this critical first class, we set the stage for working with the Psalms as part of a living tradition. We examine the history of these powerful prayers, and connect them with their roots in scripture. We examine the long and storied use of the Psalms especially for magic, beginning at their inception, to their compilation as magical remedies in the Near East more than 1,000 years ago, to their employment Jewish kabbalists, to their place in European folk and grimoire magic, to the powerful use of the psalms in Conjure and folk Catholicism. We explain how to pray the psalms effectively and how to approach working with a psalm or collection of psalms.
