A bilingual English-Hebrew Book of Psalms (Tehilim), illustrated by Saul Raskin, 1942
Psalms can be sung, but in popular Jewish, Protestant Christian, Spiritualist, and Catholic Christian
traditions, it is more common to recite them, either from memory or from a book, as a form of prayer,
or while performing other devotions, such as bathing oneself, performing a spiritual cleaning of a home
or business, placing candles or vigil lights upon an altar, or suffumigating a room or person with incense.
In hoodoo and conjure practice, the Jewish custom of reciting specific Psalms over oils or water to fix or
empower them is also found. Your spiritual counsellor may provide you with talismans, mojo bags,
incense, or other spiritual supplies that have been blessed through the recitation of Psalms, or may
instruct you in your own use of Psalms while handling your case for you.
The tradition of praying the Psalms for magical, medical, or social remediation is an old Jewish custom.
Additionally, Jewish folk magicians and kabbalists have, over the centuries, developed a method of
working with the Psalms in prescriptive rites, such as the consecration of talismans, and as an adjunct to
spell-casting for various conditions. The earliest book on this subject, the Hebrew text "Shimmush
Tehilim" ("On the Use of the Psalms") dates back to the 10th century CE.
In the 1700s, Johannes Gottfried Seelig, a German Jewish convert to Christianity, translated "Shimmush
Tehilim" into the German language. Shortly thereafter, it entered the United states when Seelig himself
emigrated to Pennsylvania, where he lived with a group of devout men known as "The Monks of the
Wissahickon." By the early 1800s, the book had been well accepted among Pennsylvania German
Christian practitioners of brauchererai folk magic (which is better known to English-speaking Americans
as Pow Wow magic).
In the late 19th century, the American Ashkenazi Jewish publishers Wehman Brothers translated Seelig's
German-language edition of "Shimmush Tehilim" into English, and Anglicized the author's name as well.
Under the title "Secrets of the Psalms, A Fragment of the Practical Kabbalah" by "Godfrey Selig," the
ancient Jewish magic book was introduced to the African American folk magic community by Jewish
pharmacists and occult-shop owners. By the early 1900s, "Secrets of the Psalms" had become one of the
most popular books used by conjure doctors and spiritual practitioners of hoodoo and rootwork, and its
wide popularity continues to the present day.
Our compilation of the uses of the Psalms in hoodoo and rootwork is based on the English-language
edition of "The Secrets of the Psalms" (and thus on "Shimmush Tehilim"), and it also incorporates
original African American hoodoo variations on this ancient Jewish book of magical art.

songs are verses that cover virtually the entire gamut of human life. To divine with The Book of Psalms,

Many of the Psalms were written by the Jewish King David, who was a harpist. Seventy-three of the
Psalms specifically bear David's name as the author. Additionally, thirteen Psalms have headings that
refer to events in David's life; these Psalms are 3, 7, 18, 34, 51, 52, 54, 56, 57, 59, 60, 63 and 142.

I had a client who was very ill of hiv, and i will keep his name private, his white t cells where around 50
he had full blown aids and his health was deteriorating very quickly. His mother brought him to my
house, because his doctor did not give hom much faith.
I performed a Limpia de Pases. Healing with the hands. Over the client I took a palm frond in my right
hand and two minature statues of San Lazaro and Jose Gregorio, the Spiritual healer. I began the limpia
buy passing the palm frond and statues over his body as i started with the Our Father, Hail Mary, and an
invocation to the Saints I was using. I passed them all through his body. He was standing. After this
procedure. I had him lie down on my couch. And to his feet I had a fuente full of holy water and florida
water. I annointed a candle with olive oil and made the sign of the cross and proceded to pray the 23
psalm This particular psalm is the most powerful psalm and should be said befor any other. I lit the
candle passed it through his body and recited the psalms 138, I did this 3 times and then through the
candle into the fuente. Then I took a white egg, and passed it over his body and recited the 6 th psalm 3
times. Then throwing the egg into the fuente with the candle. I closed the ceremony buy passing
alcoholado over his body, and making the sign of the cross over his body with Holy Water, and asking
the young man to get up and toss the water out of the house. During the whole procedure the young
man wept, which is a good sign, as tear shedding purifies the soul and aids in healing.
This young man will have this terrible disease for the rest of his life, unless God willing a cure will be
found. But I tell you, with the grace of God, his t-cells went back up and his health is better. I suggest
you perform a similar ritual.
Luz y Progreso, May Papa Dios, La virgen and your seres aid and protect you.
