RHYTHMAJIK
practical uses of Number, Rhythm and Sound
was originally published in 1992 by Temple Press UK.Since 2001 a revised electronic version which allows for both personal annotation and easy searching of topics has been available online for free.In RHYTHMAJIK, I radically reformulated the mystical tradition commonly known as the Qabalha from an Astral/Cosmological focus, to an Earth-based paradigm, in harmony with the needs of our current time. It requires no knowledge of the Qabalha, nor does it assume or call for a prior knowledge of any of the traditional literatures.Stripping away the mysticism surrounding these teachings, I elucidated the principles behind the theories and transmited the results in as neutral a form as they have ever been presented. Rhythmajik comprehensively and clearly explains an easily applied system allowing anyone to harness the semantics of number to the power of sounded rhythms.Rhythmajik is not about music but spells out the use of rhythm and sound and proportion for Trance, Healing, etc. It features a unique Numerical Encyclopedia and two Numerical dictionaries comprising over 5000 beat patterns with their semantic meanings encompassing both healing and ritual vocabularies.RHYTHMAJIK illuminates the processes allowing these vocabularies to be transformed into potent rhythmic patterns enabling you to focus the awesome energies of the Earth and Mother Nature and let them flow throughout and then out through you. It includes information and has applications for people interested in Astrology, Divination, the Music of the Spheres, Numerology, Tarot and Visualization regardless of any particular interest in drumming. And by the way, for the first time it delivers the functions of the Qabalhistic diagram known as The 9 Chambers.FROM THE BACK COVER OF THE ORIGINAL EDITIION
"The medical profession has long been aware of the powerful effects rhythm can exert on both psyche and soma, while there is also a belief in certain metaphysical schools that these may even extend to the subtle dimensions. In RHYTHMAJIK, Z'EV presents an original approach to the energies released via the rhythmic process, including the healing potential of correctly structured rhythms, and their possible value as access codes to those frequencies unbound by the space-time continuum. Dare one suggest that this could be the precursor of the long-forgotten science of sonics which many believe will surface in the next millennium?"Murry Hope – author of Psychology of Ritual "My impression is one of great comprehensiveness and much diligent work. It will have great appeal to students of the Western Line, and clearly covers new ground. I will certainly draw people interested in its approach to its existence"Z'ev ben Shimon HaLevi - the eminent writer on the Qabalha"Z'EV sets out a coherent and intelligible system in which results can be measured, compared and enhanced, making a situation in which intuition and experiment can be developed in co-operative harmony. It is an enabling rather than a prescriptive system that we find here…. [which] should generate encouraging developments and results to anyone prepared to dedicate the right quality of attention to its investigation."Christopher Johnson, esoteric writer and composerA REVIEW
"If you're into Q'balah, drumming and magick, you'll love this, and if you like any two of these, you're bound to find somehing good. .... I love his attitude; his advice that "It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing" is perhaps the single most useful thing said about drumming and magick anywhere. There is strong, practical advice about different drums, how to use them, drumming exercises, and working with another partner"Review from Chaozation.com2 USER COMMENTS
"Your work has benefitted me and my consciousness and development and ability to bridge the gap between conception, intent and manifestation musically. And your writings have afforded me several moments of ecstatic silence."iam@alhim.com - email testimonial - 24 March, 2004"Your visualization techniques, have radically improved my playing and enjoyment of, and I have been pouring over the book of roots ,memorization is again improved by forementioned visualization anchors but still slow progress, but my narrative evolution of number distillation and constant cross referencing/deciphering has yielded some beautiful tales. All in all, Rhythmajik has incurred a revolutionary resurgence in my perception & activation of music, magic and life. Thank you."rorythere@yahoo.co.uk - email testimonial - 20 November, 2003Want a free copy of RHYTHMAJIK?
