The Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses is a magical text allegedly written by Moses. It is a grimoire, a text of magical incantations and seals, it purports to instruct the reader in the spells used to create the miracles.
Containing numerous allegedly magical spells used to summon spirits to do the will of the conjurer, the books are attributed to works in which Moses sets forth the magic which enabled him to defeat the magicians of Egypt, part the Red Sea, and perform the acts attributed to him in the Old Testament. Although these are allegedly Kabbalistic in nature, there is very little or no influence of Kabbala within the pages.

6th Book –
The Sixth Book includes an introduction along with seven chapters, known as “The Mystery of the First Seal” through “The Mystery of the Seventh Seal”. The included pictures of the “seals” consist of various stylized symbols surrounded pseudo-Hebrew and pseudo-Latin phrases and letters. Each “Seal” or “Table” (in the Seventh Book) is paired with an incantation (reputedly Hebrew) and a very brief description of its powers.
7th Book –
The seventh book is much the same: taking the events of the Biblical narrative of Moses’ life (and other Biblical and unknown stories) and gives a reputed pairing of an incantation and a drawn magical object, here called “Tables”. There are twelve tables, each said to control powers associated with certain Angels, elements, or astronomical symbols:
The First Table of the Spirits of the Air;
The Second Table of the Spirits of Fire;
The Third Table of the Spirits of Water;
The Fourth Table of the Spirits of the Earth;
The Fifth Table of Saturn;
The Sixth Table of Jupiter;
The Seventh Table of Mars;
The Eighth Table of the Sun;
The Ninth Table of Venus;
The Tenth Table of Mercury;
The Eleventh Table of the Spirits;
The Twelfth Table of the Schemhamforasch;
The Journey into Folk Magic
In the early 19th-century European or European-American grimoires were popular among immigrants and in rural communities where the folk traditions of Europe, intertwined with European religious mysticism, survived.
One of the earliest American grimoires is John George Hohman’s Pow-Wows; or, Long Lost Friend, a collection of magical spells originally published in 1820 for Pennsylvania Dutch spiritualists known as “hexmeisters”. While versions of The Sixth and Seventh Books were likely passed around German immigrant communities from the late 18th century.
From 1936 through 1972, the folklorist Harry Middleton Hyatt interviewed 1,600 African American Christian root doctors and home practitioners of hoodoo, and many of them made reference to using this book and other seal-bearing grimoires of the era, such as the Key of Solomon. When Hyatt asked his informants where such books were purchased, he was told that they could be had by mail order from hoodoo suppliers in Chicago, Memphis, or Baltimore.
In early 20th-century British West Africa and Liberia, The Sixth and Seventh Books was adopted widely. It served as a source for “Christian Magic”, both by West African spiritualist Christian cults and “assimilated” Africans. In colonial Gold Coast and Nigeria, it was seen as a “western” form of magic that might be used by educated Africans seeking access to Britain or its power, much like Masonic ritual or Rosicrucianism. The Nigerian press in the 1920s regularly featured advertisements for copies of The Sixth and Seventh Books and other Christian occult books.[10]
It was also influential in Christian occult movements in Anglophone West Africa and West African religious movements which blended Christianity and traditional magic made use of the work. Josiah Olunowo Ositelu’s seals and mystical written incantations, used in the Nigerian Church of the Lord (Aladura) were likely derived from the Sixth and Seventh Books.
Traditional instructions for the Use of the Seals
This is a ceremonial style ritual for using the seals. There’s a lot of preparation and criteria which will eliminate most of us, modern practitioners, from being able to use the seals in the traditional manner. So we ignore the traditional manner and do as I said above 🙂
For your reading amusement, here is an excerpt from the Magical Kabbalah of the SIXTH AND SEVENTH BOOKS OF MOSES.
- The Citation-Formulas contained in this book must only be pronounced in the Hebrew language, and in no other. — In any other language they have no power whatever, and the Master can never be sure of his cause.
- LAWS OF ENTRANCE.
1. Before you can enter the temple of consecrated light, you must purify your soul and body for thirteen days.
2. As a brother and disciple of the new covenant, or as a Christian, you must receive the holy sacrament for the glorification of three kings — Caspar, Melchior, and Balthasar.
3. Three holy masses must be read as often as you make use of this Book in your priestly service with your intention fixed upon the three glorified kings.
4. You must provide yourself with a ram’s horn, wherewith to call together the angels and spirits. This horn must be included in your intentions of the holy mass.
5. You must wear a breastplate of parchment, one span high and wide, inscribed upon it the names of the twelve apostles with the five-fold name of Shemhamforash, in the same order that it is placed on the last leaf.
6. You must draw a circle around you upon white paper, or upon sky-blue silk. Its circumference shall be thirteen feet, and, at the distance of each foot, one of the following names must be written, viz: Moseh, Messias, Aron,3 Jehova, Adonai,4 Jesus, Christus, Caspar, Melchior, Balthasar. Al. Al. Al.
7. Between each name you must place the holy symbol of Horet
8. The breastplate must be included in the intention of the holy mass.
9. Through consecration with holy triple king’s-water and with three burning wax tapers, you must finally pronounce a benediction over this book, the horn, the breastplate, and the circle, after reading a well-selected mysterious ritual.
10. You may enter alone, or begin this great work with two companions, by day or by night, but always from the first to the thirteenth of the month, and during the thirteenth day, and through the whole night of the new moon, and also during full moon, when the three planets, Saturn, Mars, and Jupiter ( ), are visible in the heavens on the day of exorcism, either singly or together.
11. You must always stand with your face toward Zion, or toward the rising of the sun.
12. He who refuses a copy of this book, or who suppresses it or steals it, will be seized with eternal trembling, like Cain, and the angels of God will depart from him.
