Amulet (“kame’a”) against difficult childbirth. Beshenkovichi, Vitebsk Province, Belarus. Late 19th century.
The text is repeated twice, in the left and right part of the amulet: “Adam and Eve. To expel Lilith, Senoi, Sansenoi, Sammangelof.” The image and text are reproduced after “Raziel,” a mystic 11th century book that served as a kind of instruction for making amulets.

The Torah (Hebrew: 'Instruction, Teaching'), or the Pentateuch, is the central reference of the religious Judaic tradition. It has a range of meanings. It can most specifically mean the first five books of the twenty-four books of the Tanakh, and it usually includes the perushim (rabbinic commentaries) #dragon

Pro Tip For Jewish Practitioners:
If you’re looking for a good term for the journal you’ve is dedicated to your practice but don’t wanna use Book of Shadows (which was popularized by Gerald Gardner’s use in Wicca) or Grimoire, given the fact they’re goyische terms, I would recommend the term “Sefer Segulot.”
Sefer Segulot translates to “Book of Charms/Treasures”. This is a term that was used historically to describe any book of of Jewish Mystic Practices such as incantations, amulets, or what have you.
Thank you to @jewitchry for introducing me to the history of the term ‘Book of Shadows’, it’s what prompted this little blurb of research!
