Segula (Kabbalah)


A segula (Hebrew: סגולה‎, pl. סגולות, segulot, "remedy" or "protection") is protective or benevolent charm or ritual in Kabbalistic and Talmudic tradition.

The word segula appears in the Hebrew Bible in Exodus 19:5 and Deuteronomy 7:6, where God refers to the Jewish nation as His segula (treasure). The root of this word, segol, is the name of a Hebrew vowel-point represented by three dots. According to the Ohr Hachaim, a segula is "a charm that supersedes logic".
