Becoming a Merkavah: How to Use Jewish Mystical Symbols as Resources for Psychedelic Journeying (Digital Download)

Come immerse yourself in the mystical lore of the Merkavah, born from Ezekiel’s chariot vision. While it may be the oldest strand of Jewish mysticism, it provides practical resources for contemporary Jewish psychedelics. Its symbolic system and cosmic maps offer a helpful toolbox for infusing journey-spaces with Jewish wisdom and mythology. In this workshop we’ll introduce the historical foundations of the Merkavah and learn how three of its key symbols—wheel, wing, and tetramorph—can be resources for navigating expanded consciousness. This session will be beneficial if you are looking to incorporate Jewish mysticism into your journeys or searching for symbols that can be potent tools for your personal spiritual practice.

An expert in the history of Kabbalah & Jewish magic, Yosef works to translate the mysteries of the past into usable mythologies and practices. His public offerings solicit a merging of what modern society often keeps separate: the contemporary and the ancient, the academic and the experiential, the religious and the secular, the spiritual and the somatic. His classes blur the line between education and initiation, as they invite students to reclaim forgotten or censored lineages of Jewish creativity.
