Rabbi Geoffrey Dennis

This method of Jewish divination is traced back to the priestly garments.

In Jewish thought and texts, curses exemplify the belief that speech can have tremendous power.

Throughout history, Jews have been suspicious of manticism and clairvoyance, while still practicing many diviner's arts.

"Whatever is effective as a remedy is not witchcraft (Shabbat 67a)"--is that really the case?

Throughout much of Jewish history, witchcraft has been viewed as a vice that virtually every woman will indulge in.

Jews have developed complex plans for coaxing evil spirits out of those who are possessed.

Some traditional Jewish sources indicate belief in the efficacy of spells.
