There is an extensive discussion of demons – which are seen
as invisible creatures surrounding each of us “a thousand on one his left hand
and ten thousand on his right” – and the magical potion for being able to
actually see them.
But I love another image from this page: the idea that just
as religious Jews wear t’fillin
as a sign of binding ourselves to G-d, G-d wears t’fillin as a sign of
binding to us! If ours has the Sh’ma (G-d is One) as our text, G-d’s t’fillin
uses I Chronicles 17:21: And what one nation in the earth is like thy people
Israel. . . As we make G-d unique, G-d makes us unique.
