HaIlan HaKodesh Amulet by the Mahara"m Papirosh. Rare in its Beauty. Placed in a Silver Case


HaIlan HaKadosh - amulet handwritten by an expert scribe in tiny script, beautiful and clear, with strong ink, on high-quality especially thin parchment (to be easily carried on the body). The amulet is over half a meter long, and due to the especially thin parchment, it is rolled up and slips into a silver container with a diameter of about a centimeter without compromising the sharpness of the writing!


Written in the margins of the amulet: "This Ilan HaKadosh is capable of everything; to find favor, success, for the evil eye, for difficulty during childbirth, for damagers and demons, plague ... and all evil in the world. May Hashem save him ... It must be placed in a pure silver case and worn by him."


The amulet includes Kabbalistic illustrations, names of angels, and in contrast, of demons, the order of the sephirot and the progression of worlds, virtually all secrets of Kabbalistic wisdom, per precise instructions by the G-dly Kabbalist Rabbi Meir Papirosh - a primary disciple of the Ar"i's.


The Ilan HaKadosh amulet is one of the most common and well-known for its segulah. This type of amulet is occasionally put up for auction. However, it is rare to find such a beautiful one. Such a clear and precise amulet, made with all the stringencies, with all the necessary Kabbalistic details, and all in miniature, so that it can be constantly worn on the body - a true work of art. As such, it is clear that this amulet was written by an artistic scribe supervised by a first-rate Kabbalist.


(Personal testimony: Hundreds of amulets have passed through this [Hebrew] writer's hands over the last decade, none made with such beauty and professionalism!)


Amulet rare in its beauty, 66x3.5 cm. Written with strong ink, on thin parchment, and despite this, especially remarkable. Placed in a designated carrying case with a removable lid. Loops for threading at the sides of the case so that it can be worn.

Rare condition. Perfect scroll, with no damage whatsoever to the text.
