SO YOU WANT TO MAKE A GOLEM...
You will need:
  • DUST
  • WATER
  • HOLY NAMES
  • ASHKENAZI SEASONINGS TO TASTE
  1. Fast to cleanse your spirit. Gather dust. Knead with water to form dough, season, then shape into desired form. (This will serve as body to your Golem, so form carefully!)
  2. Simmer the desperation of your need with the purity of intention in your heart. Fold in a generous dollop of ancane knowlege and mix well. Distill from this mixture the letters of the appropriate holy names. Pray for guidance.
  3. Sprinkle holy names liberally and literally over the body of your Golem until animated.
There, now, isn't that more fun than a pipe bomb? Amazing what you can learn on the internet these days!

Now that you own the knowledge of the ages, where you gonna take it?
May we humbly suggest...
It!
The Filmography
or...
The McDOWALL page.
And don't neglect your local LIBRARY to check out the writings of Reb Moshe Idel, a man who knows his golem!

The beautiful golem image on this page is taken from HUGO STEINER-PRAG's 1915 Lithograph, "The Golem," illustration for Gustav Meyrink's novel. Please respect the copyrite; it isn't ours to give you.
