Sepher Raziel HaMalakh

The Book of the Angel Raziel

Sepher Raziel HaMalakh — the Book of the Angel Raziel — claims to be the book that God gave to the angel Raziel to give to Adam after the expulsion from Eden, so that Adam could find his way back to Paradise. It contains the names and functions of the angels, magical formulae, astrological teaching, and the names of God that, when properly pronounced, give power over the cosmos.
