Occult Courses by Baal Kadmon
Explore the Deeper Traditions of the Occult
Most of what people know about the occult comes secondhand. A blog summarizing a book that summarized a grimoire. The further you get from the source, the less of it survives.
I began this work in 1985 and I have spent the forty years since going back to the texts themselves. That is what these courses are built on. Close to nine thousand students around the world have studied with me, in courses on Kabbalah, ceremonial magick, demonology, the angelic traditions, and the religions of the ancient world. Each one starts with what the sources actually say, and each one ends with you working the practice yourself.

Saint Expedite: The Saint Who Answers Now
The history, prayers, and practical work of the saint invoked for urgent and just causes.
Saint Expedite holds an unusual place in Catholic and folk religious practice. His historical existence has been questioned for a long time, and devotion to him has spread across continents anyway. People turn to him when a situation is urgent, when money is owed, or when a problem cannot be put aside for another day.
This course begins with who he is and how his devotion developed, then moves into the practical work: the prayers and psalms in full, preparing the altar, making the petition, and the obligations that come with completing a working.
Nineteen modules and nearly fifty lessons, all available the moment you enroll, so you can study at your own pace.

The occult is several traditions, each with its own history, its own texts, and its own way of working. Start with the one that is pulling at you.
Kabbalah
The Tree of Life, the sefirot, the texts behind them, and the practices that grew up around this tradition.
Ancient Religions
The gods of the ancient world, their cults, and the primary sources that tell us how people actually approached them.
Spirits and Entities
Angels, demons, and the other beings of the grimoires: the texts they come from and the methods used to work with them.
About the Teacher
I am Baal Kadmon
Baal Kadmon
I have studied and practiced the occult since 1985. My work brings together four decades of practice with the study of religion, ancient history, and the original sources behind these traditions.
Much of that time has gone into the languages the sources were written in. Reading a text in its own language is the difference between knowing what a tradition says and knowing what someone else said about it, and it is how I check the simplified explanations that get passed around.
Hebrew◆Ugaritic◆Arabic◆Syriac◆Ancient Greek◆Classical Latin
I built Occult Courses for people who want the historical context, the source material, and the practical instruction in one place. The aim is a serious foundation for your own study and practice, so you can test these things yourself instead of taking anyone's word for them, mine included.

The courses students take most
The six courses students are taking most right now, each built from the primary sources of its tradition.
Kabbalah: The Complete Traditions
There are three kinds of Kabbalah, and almost everyone learns one and is told it is the whole of it. This course, ten years in the making, teaches all three, Jewish, Christian, and Hermetic, from the original Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, and Latin. 703 videos, with meditation and practice in every tradition. It is the most complete course I have ever built.
The Truth Is Not Flat
Most courses ask you to pick one tradition and treat the rest as noise. I do not. No single tradition owns the truth. Every serious path is pointing at something real, and every one of them is also leaving something out. This lines them up side by side, Hinduism through Kabbalah through Freud and Jung, and shows how they fit into one layered picture of reality. It closes with three practices you can actually sit down and do.
The Torch of Hekate
The Maiden Mother Crone framing of Hekate is not ancient. It was invented in 1948 by Robert Graves and has been recycled ever since. The actual Hekate, the one in Hesiod, the Chaldean Oracles, and the Greek Magical Papyri, is a different and stranger figure. This course goes back to those primary sources and works through the goddess as she was actually transmitted.
Beyond the Demiurge
The Gnostics believed the God of the Bible was not the true God. They believed this world was a prison built by a lesser being, and that most people would never realize it. This course works through the original Gnostic texts, the Gospel of Thomas, the Nag Hammadi library, the Pistis Sophia, and follows that idea wherever it leads. Some of it will unsettle you. That is the point.
Spirits in the Sand
The Jinn are documented in the Quran, in pre-Islamic Arabian sources, and in a body of magical literature that most Western practitioners have never encountered. They are neither demons in the Christian sense nor angels, and the sources treat them as something older and more complex than either. This course works through the primary sources, traces their origins and taxonomy, and gives practitioners the grounding they need to engage with this tradition.
The Breath That Forms Worlds
The Sefer Yetzirah is the oldest Kabbalistic text in existence. It describes how God created the world through 32 paths of wisdom: ten Sefirot and twenty-two Hebrew letters. The text does this in language that is deliberately difficult to interpret. This course works through the Sefer Yetzirah in Hebrew and English with full commentary, examines the major historical interpretations from Saadia Gaon to the Vilna Gaon, and gives serious students the tools to engage with it directly rather than through someone else's summary.
“Having been raised Roman Catholic, much of the information in these courses has been a revelation. I have loved learning all of this. The course has changed my view on demons, angels, and it shockingly makes sense. Way more sense than anything I've been indoctrinated with. Also, I've tried a couple of the rituals and have had very positive, immediate results. I am stunned. This is the first time ever any kind of magick has worked for me.”

What students say after the work is done
“Baal Kadmon is a treasure in our community. His knowledge can only be acquired after years of study. He takes that knowledge and creates books and courses that can change our lives. By far my all-time favorite occult author. His courses are easy to navigate, his voice is calming, and you will learn something new. I have been working with Lilith for years and dug through her lore, yet this course was eye opening. You cannot go wrong. I promise.”
“The narrative is always easily readable and not long-winded. He provides sound historic background with references. As someone who does not speak Hebrew, I appreciate that translation is included. And most importantly, the rituals I have performed actually worked.”
“This course was phenomenal. Not only did it educate me on the history of Egypt, it made sense of the hieroglyphs and I was actually able to evoke Egyptian gods like Thoth for wisdom and another for dream states. Highly recommended for any occultist interested in Egyptian magick.”
“I have been reading your books and practicing your spells for a few years now. Listening to your voice has made me a stronger witch. If it wasn't for those Fallen Angels we wouldn't be the people we are today. We wouldn't have the knowledge of the Great King Solomon nor the Kabbalah. I have learned so much and it is changing my life.”

The Wealth Talisman of King Solomon
A seal from the Key of Solomon, the Fourth Pentacle of Jupiter, paired with Psalm 112, the Psalm that speaks of wealth and riches in the house of the upright. Ten short videos take you through what the Hebrew on the seal actually says, how to make or print it, the consecration spoken word for word, and the seven mornings that follow.
It is free and there is no catch. Everything is open the moment you sign up, along with the printable seal and a reference sheet of the wealth Psalms. If you have never worked a talisman before, this is where I would start you.
