Ana B'Koach Altar Plate - Angels of Alchemy - 42 Letter Name of God

This altar plate includes the original Hebrew text, an English translation, and transliteration for English-speakers who want to read the prayer in Hebrew.

Known as the 42-letter Name of God, the Ana beKo'ach is a unique formula built of 42 letters written in seven sentences of six words each. Each of the seven sentences correspond to the seven days of the week, seven specific angels, and to a particular heavenly body. The letters that make up Ana beKo'ach are encoded within the first 42 letters of the book of Genesis.

The kabbalists explain that this combination of letters takes us back to the time of Creation, and each time we meditate on a particular sequence, we return to the original uncorrupted energy that built the world. By performing the Ana be'Koach meditation, we enrich our lives with unadulterated spiritual Light and positive energy.

But remember, this is just a tool...YOU are the magick. It's there to help you focus, but you still need to do the internal and external mundane work to support your practice. You can buy all the best power tools in the world, but they aren't going to build a house for you. They can make it easier, faster, deeper, more intense, etc. but at the end of the day the buck stops with you.
