The ''[[Sefer Raziel HaMalakh]]'' (''Book of Raziel the Angel'') is a book of magic containing all secret magic purported to have been given to Adam by Raziel, who learned the information by standing close to [[Yahweh|God]]'s throne, hearing and writing down everything. He gave the book to Adam and Eve after they ate from the forbidden tree of the knowledge of good and evil so the two could find their way back "home" and better understand their God. Raziel's fellow angels were deeply disturbed by this, and thus stole the book from Adam and threw it into the ocean. God Himself decided not to punish Raziel, but instead retrieved the book by means of the Rahab and returned it to Adam and Eve. | The ''[[Sefer Raziel HaMalakh]]'' (''Book of Raziel the Angel'') is a book of magic containing all secret magic purported to have been given to Adam by Raziel, who learned the information by standing close to [[Yahweh|God]]'s throne, hearing and writing down everything.
