Abstract

The main elements of shamanism is ecstasy and intuition for matters such as healing and divination and the use of mysterious spells for national and sometimes individual interests, confronting enemies and communicating with supernatural beings; which are similar to Jewish mysticism as well. The similarities between Jewish mysticism and shamanism creates a good situation to understand and compare them. Jewish mysticism is full of secrets subject to discovery and ecstasy and necessary preparations for having the honor of visiting, including "Merkabah", "Qabalah" and "Hasidism" and also the book "Ma’aseh Bereshit", the texts "Hekhalot" and the "Sword of Moses". It also has prescriptions of magical spells to achieve goals such as treatment and prediction, and harming to their enemies. Therefore, a shaman can be seen in Jewish mystics who use such a method to acquire the necessary transcendental techniques and skills for their national interests; yet the difference is that they consider themselves devoted to a more complex religion such as Judaism at the same time.
