Jewish Magical Papyri

[Archive witness: an ancient protective or ritual text, preserved as historical evidence — not doctrine, and not for practice.]

Fragments of Jewish protective and healing invocations on papyrus, calling upon the Name and upon the angels for help. Representative lines:

“In the name of the LORD, the God of hosts: let healing come to so-and-so, son of so-and-so, from the head to the feet; let the fever depart, and the pain flee away. [Text missing]

“By the name that is great and awesome, and by Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel: guard the bearer of this from every harm, by day and by night.”
