“These Names are to be said to bandits, even those holding unsheathed swords in their hands” (from this manuscript)
Kabbalistic manuscript compilation consisting of many dozens of practical Kabbalistic prescriptions for the resolution of a wide range of problems. Written by a Kabbalist with broad knowledge of the field who would also practice the content for his petitioners, and along the leaves there are remnants of recipe ingredients. [Morocco, 20th century.] Unknown writer, except for one slight hint on one side of a single amulet, with the words “From Rabbi Yitzchak, zllh”h.”
In contrast to many practical Kabbalistic manuscripts, written in hard-to-read Oriental ( chatzi-kolmus ) script, usually written in a confusing manner meant only for the writer to understand (sometimes intentionally), this kuntress is written in an orderly manner entirely in block script, clear and comprehensible to anyone who examines it. It is evident that the Kabbalist did not write this for his own use exclusively, but to teach his disciples and to leave to his children after him.
The Kabbalistic activities in the kuntress are brief and simple. Each activity is usually not longer than one page. At the conclusion of each, the word tam indicates the end. Some of the activities require materials, generally easy-to-find ones such as saffron, flax, horse manure etc. (this last one is for a suffering child, to be mixed with water and to give her to drink it without her knowledge). Another part of the activities is the use of incantations by using amulets that are written clearly in the kuntress in great detail, for easy copying.
For example, below are two short incantations that do not require special materials or complex instructions, and the reader can get his own impression of their effectiveness (warning: there are those who prefer not to use practical Kabbalah).
1) “If a person is fighting with you, say “You are a donkey and I am a ship טפטפי”ה (a sacred Name) will be among us. End.”
2) For a person to turn bad into good, say this Name seven times in one breath: אוריא”ל (a sacred Name). End.
