The magical cloak is a common motif in both the history and mythology of magic. In this episode, I explore a c 10th century ce text of Jewish Magic which describes the production of a magical cloak imbued with Divine and Angelic names - The Sefer HaMalbush or the Book of the Garment. I also explore a similar text - the Sefer HaYashar - which describes similar divine names along with a series of astral-angelic correspondences! Both texts go on to become important texts in both Kabbalah and Jewish magic more generally.
