How to Use Your Holy Spirit Psalm OilYour Holy Spirit Psalm Oil may be used in many ways! If you are doing any type of psalm prayer work, it will be greatly enhanced by using a bit of this oil in conjunction with your prayers. You can also wear it for protection, blessings, and peace. It can be used to enhance your reading of particular psalms for guidance - just put a little bit on your temples. Commonly, this oil is used in candle burning and for affirmations. See below for a downloadable document that tells you how. See above for a kit with the oil, candles, and incense! You are welcome to download for free (even if you are not buying the oil) a Book of Psalms and instructions on using the oil with the Psalms for Candle Prayers and Affirmations. If you are NOT buying the oil, a small donation for downloading the documents would be appreciated. If you can't afford a donation, that is fine! You are welcome to download these documents for free. Thank you for donating and/or visiting us! We appreciate it very much! The Psalms have been used throughout the ages in the same way as 'spells' or lucky mantras have been used. Each Psalm has been attributed a certain power according to Kabalistic teachings. Sometimes a prayer is combined with the Psalm, as well as the use of Holy Spirit Psalm Oil; sometimes it is just the Psalm itself that is prayed a certain number of times while concentrating on a Holy Word. (some derivative of 'God', such as 'Adonai' or 'Jehovah.') As we progress with this project, we will also be adding in different ways that these Psalms can be used with different magickal endeavors. We will be teaching how to integrate the Psalms into practices so as to enhance the power of both the Psalms and the practices. Please check back with us often as this will be an ongoing teaching project. Thank you for your support! Please use the power of the Psalms carefully and with reverence. I am not here to confirm or deny the power of what lies below, simply to supply the information that has been taught for thousands of years. Use them wisely! Psalm for Severe Headache or BackachePsalm #3: For severe headache and backache, pray Psalm #3 over a small quantity of Holy Spirit Psalm Oil, and anoint the head or back while in prayer. This is supposed to afford immediate relief. (We make no medical claims!) A psalm of David. When he fled from his son Absalom. 1 Lord, how many are my foes! 2 Many are saying of me, 3 But you, Lord, are a shield around me, 4 I call out to the Lord, 5 I lie down and sleep; 6 I will not fear though tens of thousands 7 Arise, Lord! 8 From the Lord comes deliverance. Psalm for Successful BusinessPsalm #8: If you wish a successful business venture or to procure the goodwill in your business transactions, you should pray this Psalm three days in succession after sundown, thinking all the while of the Holy name of Rechmial, which signifies strong and merciful God of love, grace, and mercy. After praying the Psalm #8, thinking the name Rechmial, also say the following prayer over a small quantity of Holy Spirit Psalm Oil: 'May it please thee, Oh, Rechmial Eel, to grant that I may obtain love, grace, and favour in the eyes of men according to they holy will. Amen! Selah!' You may then use the oil either on yourself or dot it about your business area. 1 Lord, our Lord, You have set your glory 2 Through the praise of children and infants 3 When I consider your heavens, 4 what is mankind that you are mindful of them, 5 You have made them a little lower than the angels 6 You made them rulers over the works of your hands; 7 all flocks and herds, 8 the birds in the sky, Psalm to Stop PersecutionPsalm #11: To put a stop to persecution in all forms, pray this Psalm daily in devotion keeping constantly in mind the holy name of Pele , that all conspiracies against you may be set aside. After praying Psalm #11, close with the following prayer, over a little bit of Holy Spirit Psalm Oil: 'Adorable, might, and holy God Pele, with thee is advice, action, and power, and only thou canst work wonders. Turn away from me all that is evil, and protect me from the persecution of evil ones, for the sake of the Great Name Pele. Amen. Sela.' Use the oil on yourself - temples, and other pulse points. (Note from Mambo Samantha Corfield: Remember, persecution takes many forms. If you are being emotionally abused in any kind of relationship (love, work, etc.) then you are being persecuted! This psalm also works really well when using it in conjunction with other magickal type works, such as with candles, gris-gris bags, etc.) 1 In the Lord I put my trust; 2 For look! The wicked bend their bow, 3 If the foundations are destroyed, 4 The Lord is in His holy temple, 5 The Lord tests the righteous, 6 Upon the wicked He will rain coals; 7 For the Lord is righteous, Psalm to Stop all LibelPsalm #35: To stop all evil, slanderous libel being maliciously spread about you, pray this Psalm daily and they will cause you no evil. Use the holy name Tehom. 1 Plead my cause, O Lord, with those who strive with me; 2 Take hold of shield and buckler, 3 Also draw out the spear, 4 Let those be put to shame and brought to dishonor 5 Let them be like chaff before the wind, 6 Let their way be dark and slippery, 7 For without cause they have hidden their net for me in a pit, 8 Let destruction come upon him unexpectedly, 9 And my soul shall be joyful in the Lord; 10 All my bones shall say 11 Fierce witnesses rise up; 12 They reward me evil for good, 13 But as for me, when they were sick, 14 I paced about as though he were my friend or brother; 15 But in my adversity they rejoiced 16 With ungodly mockers at feasts 17 Lord, how long will You look on? 18 I will give You thanks in the great assembly; 19 Let them not rejoice over me who are wrongfully my enemies; 20 For they do not speak peace, 21 They also opened their mouth wide against me, 22 This You have seen, O Lord; 23 Stir up Yourself, and awake to my vindication, 24 Vindicate me, O Lord my God, according to Your righteousness; 25 Let them not say in their hearts, 'Ah, so we would have it!' 26 Let them be ashamed and brought to mutual confusion 27 Let them shout for joy and be glad, 28 And my tongue shall speak of Your righteousness Psalm to Make Yourself Beloved by Your Fellow-MenPsalm #47: If you wish to be respected, beloved, well received in any and all situations, pray this Psalm seven times daily. 1 Clap your hands, all you nations; shout to God with cries of joy. 2 For the LORD Most High is awesome, the great King over all the earth. 3 He subdued nations under us, peoples under our feet. 4 He chose our inheritance for us, the pride of Jacob, whom he loved. 5 God has ascended amid shouts of joy, the LORD amid the sounding of trumpets. 6 Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises. 7 For God is the King of all the earth; 8 God reigns over the nations; Psalm to Make Your Home LuckyPsalm #61: If you are moving into a new home, repeat this Psalm in the home, just before moving in, trusting in the name of Schaddel, and you will experience good fortune and luck in the new home. For your present home, clean from top to bottom with plain spring water, leave the home, and then return and repeat this Psalm seven days in a row. 1 Hear my cry, O God; 2 From the end of the earth I will cry to You, 3 For You have been a shelter for me, 4 I will abide in Your tabernacle forever; 5 For You, O God, have heard my vows; 6 You will prolong the king'slife, 7 He shall abide before God forever. 8 So I will sing praise to Your name forever,

The Kabbalist Influence on Hoodoo
Of the many traditions that enter into hoodoo folk-magic, one of the least-understood is Jewish mysticism, particularly that which comes out of the medival Kabbalist tradition of belief in the magical efficacy of the words of scripture. The usual question one hears when one mentions the Kabbalah and hoodoo in the same sentence -- and which must be disposed of immediately -- is some variant on, 'How could African-American slaves or their descendents have access to esoteric European tracts and grimoires?' The answer is stunningly simple: they bought them by mail order and read them.
In Harry Middleton Hyatt's 5 volume compilation of hoodoo spells, collected from 1600 practitioners in the South during the 1930s, several informants name specific books on European folklore and Kabbalistic magic that they have found valuable in hoodoo work. For instance, interviewee no. 1534, a Louisiana-born black conjure doctor from Memphis, Tennessee, tells Hyatt that in order to perform a certain rite to regain a lost lover for a client, 'Yo'd have to talk Hebrew-like. Yo' realize de Hebrew language -- some of dat's in de 'Six' and Seven' Books of Moses' and den de balance is [in] de 91 Psalms of David.'
'The Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses' (as well as 'The Lost 8th, 9th, and 10th Books of Moses') are compilations of mediveal European and Middle-Eastern magic attributed to the author of the first five books of the Bible. Along with 'de 91 Psalms of David' (Godfrey Selig's 'Secrets of the Psalms') they were -- and are -- the stock-in-trade of the many mail-order spiritual supply companies that have served the hoodoo market from the 1920s to the present.
'Secrets of the Psalms' is by no means the only compilation of European magic that crossed the colour line in America. During the 1940s, cheap newsprint editions of 'Pow-Wows or the Long Lost Friend,' and 'The Black Pullet' were typically offered through the catalogues of Jewish-owned curio companies like King Novelty and Clover Horn, right alongside an assortment of policy players' dream books and pamphlets on 'The Art of Kissing' and 'How to Make Love.' Hyatt's interviewee no. 1534, cited above, also said that he had read 'The Black Art,' by Hermann and 'Albertus Magnus,' the latter presumeably one of several collections of magical receipts spuriously attributed to the sainted German cleric Albert the Great (1193-1280).
After acknowledging that black conjure doctors in Memphis did read and make use of Godfrey Selig's 'Secrets of the Psalms,' we are still left to wonder who Godfrey Selig was and what he claimed were the magical 'Secrets' in the Biblical Book of Psalms. Well, for one thing, the author's name was not Godfrey Selig.
Eoghan Ballard ([email protected]) of the University of Pennsylvania explains:
Johannes Gottfried Seelig arrived in America from the Palatinate of Germany on June 12, 1694, aboard the Sara Maria, which landed across from the Blue Anchor Inn on Dock Street in Philadelphia. He was a follower of Johannes Kelpius, the leader of an often misunderstood band of millennarian pietists who were variously called 'The Monks of the Wissahickon' or 'The Woman in the Wilderness.' Their practice was fairly esoteric. They relied on astrology, were avid astronomers, and created the first recorded botanical garden in North America on a site occupied today by the Wissahickon Golf Course. They also performed the first concert in Pennsylvania, on organ and brass instruments that they brought from Germany, at Gloria Dei -- a Swedish Lutheran church, which is still standing.In 1720, Johann Conrad Beisell, the Eckerling brothers, Michael Wohlforth, Simon Koenig, Johan George Stiefel, Jacob Stuntz, and Isaac Van Bebber emigrated to Pennsylvania with the intent of joining Kelpius' group on the Wissahickon. Kelpius was by this time dead, leaving only an aging Matthaue and Seelig of the original community remaining faithful and still living in the hermitage. This was the first in a chain of events that led to the revival of esoteric Theosophy and Rosicrucian mysticism in Pennsylvania. Beissel went on to found the much better known and understood monastic community in Ephrata, Pennsylvania, while the man he apprenticed himself to on the advice of Seelig and Matthaue, Peter Becker, founded the Dunkers, another Pennsylvania German religious community important in Moravian history.

The legend of 'The Monks of the Wissahickon' grew more fantastic over the years as German ceased to be the language of the community in Germantown, the settlement nearest the Wissahickon, which was eventually incorporated into Philadelphia in the last century. So farfetched had the legends become, that one recent scholar actually claimed that this group practiced an early form of 'neopaganism.' Actually, they were well within the rubric of German Enlightenment esoteric Christianity and would have blanched to be called 'pagan.'
Interestingly, a tradition, probably an echo of an earlier tale told concerning Magister Kelpius, attached itself to the death of Johannes Gottfried Seelig, his follower. In this version of the death story, Seelig indicated a desire to William Levering to have his staff thrown into the nearby Schuylkill River. Upon its hitting the water it was reported to have exploded with a loud noise.
Seelig's book was first published in Germantown shortly after his death, based apparently upon handwritten manuscripts. Several editions from the 1700s and early 1800s in both German and English may be found in Philadelphia area museums and libraries.
In 'Secrets of the Psalms,' Selig's general theme is that of the power of 'names,' a mystical Jewish Kabbalist belief that by properly pronouncing and invoking certain names of God, of angels, and of demons, one's wishes will be executed. This notion is conjoined with a medieval tradition that holds that many of the Psalms, particularly those attributed to King David, contain within them 'seed sounds' or hidden syllables which, when spoken aloud, will cause magical works to be accomplished. The important Medieval Jewish book 'Shimmush Tehillim' ('On the Use of Psalms') probably formed the basis for his work, and explains why 'Secrets if the Psalms' was subtitled 'A Fragnent of the Practical Kabala.'
The fact that Godfrey Selig considered himself a mystical Christian, not a Jew, is of little importance in the context of his compilation of Hebrew source material and his translation of it into German. 'Christian Kabbalists' have been around since the 12th century, and Selig himself declared in his introduction that 'the greatest and most genuine Kabbalists of the Jewish nation were nearly all followers and disciples of the the blessed Saviour of the world.' (That this is not true is irrelevant; Selig, like many Christian Kabbalists, believed it and few Jews have sought to point out the error, for fear of persecution.)
The edition of 'Secrets of the Psalms' that has been in circulation in English translation in the United States since the late 1930s or early 1940s seems to have been redacted by someone familiar with hoodoo terminology, for in the added headings to the first batch of Psalms there is reference to 'crossed conditions,' an African-American turn of speech meaning chronic bad luck. There is also evidence of poor copying, for mention is made of one 'Rabbi Isaac Logria,' a typographical garbling of the name of the celebrated medieval Rabbi Isaac Luria that is unlikely to have been made by Selig.
Among the many results that proper recitation of the specific Psalms will produce, according to Selig's sources, are release from prison, safe childbirth, business success, safe travel, help in court cases, removal of enemies, and overcoming evil. Some of the Psalms are embellished with special prayers to be recited, actions to be performed, or holy names to be called upon. The formula for the construction of the holy names involves an esoteric Kabbalistic letter-substitution method called 'gematria' which Selig alludes to but does not explain in full.
Here are a few examples from Selig's book showing how the Psalms are used, My comments (in parentheses) indicate which words in each Psalm seem to have inspired these magical ascriptions:
Psalms for Making Peace between Husband and WifePsalms 45 and 46 -- Whoever has a scolding wife, let him pronounce the 45th Psalm over pure olive oil, and anoint his body with it, when his wife, in the future will be more lovable and friendly. But if a man has innocently incurred the enmity of his wife, and desires a proper return of conjugal love and peace, let him pray the 46th Psalm over olive oil, and anoint his wife thoroughly with it, and, it is said, married love will again return.
(Psalm 45 refers to anointing with 'the oil of gladness' and to the 'rejoicing' that occurs when the 'glorious' daughter of the King of Tyre is brought before the King. Psalm 46 contains the words, 'God is in the midst of her...God shall help her...He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the Earth.')
Psalm to Make Your Home LuckyPsalm 61 -- When you are about to take possession of a new dwelling, repeat this Psalm just before moving in, with a suitable prayer, trusting in the name of Schaddei, and you will experience blessing and good fortune. The letters comprising this name are taken from the words: Schimmu, verse 2, Ken, verse 9, and Jom, the last word of this Psalm. It should, however, be remarked, that both the last letters are selected according to the alphabetical order of Ajack Bechar.
(Psalm 61 contains the lines, 'Thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy. I will abide in Thy tabernacle forever; I will trust in the covert of Thy wings.' The reference to 'the alphabetical order of Bechar' is obscure Kabbalistic in-fighting about variant rules of gematria which non-Kabbalists can safely ignore.)
Psalm for Safe Travel at NightPsalm 121 -- Are you compelled to travel alone by night, pray this Psalm reverently seven times, and you will be safe from all accidents and evil occurrences.
(Psalm 121 opens with the line, 'I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.')
Psalm for Severe Headache or BackachePsalm 3 -- Whosoever is subject to severe headache and backache, let him pray this Psalm [...] over a small quantity of olive oil, [and] anoint the head or back while in prayer. This will afford immediate relief.
(Psalm 3 contains the line, 'Thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter of mine head.')
Psalm for a Repentant LiarPsalm 132 -- If you have sworn to perform anything punctually, and notwithstanding your oath you neglect to perform your obligation, and in this manner have perjured yourself, you should, in order to avoid a future crime of a similar kind, pray this Psalm daily with profound reverence.
(Psalm 132 contains the line, 'The Lord hath sworn the truth unto David; he will not turn from it.')

'Secrets of the Psalms' is an artifact of the mystical Jewish belief in the magical efficacy of the recitation of God's Holy Word. That this tradition was mined by a millennarian Christian German and brought to America where it became a magical receipt-book among the descendents of Africans is just 'one of those crazy things' that makes life among the humans so interesting.
