The Book of Raziel the Angel

Because all who hold this book must keep themselves pure. One must not defile his flesh, nor approach a woman during her menstrual impurity Hebrew: Niddah, nor come near a corpse, nor be defiled by any uncircumcised person. He must sanctify his flesh in living water original: mayim chayim; refers to a natural spring or ritual bath (mikveh) and purify himself to be like the angels original: Elohim; here likely referring to divine beings or angels. He shall not eat anything impure, nor touch any ritual defilement, and he shall act in holiness according to all that is written herein; then he shall succeed.

And all who are cautioned regarding the letters of the Holy Name, yet do not sanctify themselves or purify their flesh, but touch it without purity, treating it with levity and failing to guard its way—if they willfully desecrate it, they shall be punished and perish from the world. Their portion shall be inherited by shame and become an eternal horror. Their benefit shall not be exchanged, their fire shall not be extinguished, and they shall be cast out from all their loved ones and pushed from light into darkness. But if one follows the fear of his Creator and handles this with purity and holiness, he will merit all its words and succeed in all his deeds. He will be granted favor, kindness, and mercy in the eyes of all who see him, and all his enemies will fear him and his presence, for the Holy Name shall be called upon him. Who is wise? Let him understand these things. Who is discerning? Let him know them. For the ways of the Lord are upright; the righteous walk in them, but the rebellious stumble in them.

For success in the study of Torah, for repentance, and for the observation of all things through truth: This is the law of the book—it must be used in secret. Whatever you do, do it at sunrise and its appearance. In every month, perform it during the first five days and the middle five days, and you will succeed in all your work.

For this book is great and praiseworthy. The Lord God revealed it to those who seek Him, so that whoever performs what is in it and guards it as it is written shall live and succeed in all his works.

This book is pure. Whoever wishes to use it should say the name of the Moon and the name of the Sun—five days during the new moon, five in the middle, and five at the end.
