Hebrew and Latin pronunciations

General Discussion
1

Hello all,

Does anyone have websites or books you use to look up proper pronunciations for hebrew and Latin words.

I’m used to being spoon fed by gallery of magick for their rituals, when I started reading the Middle Pillar, I was a bit overwhelmed with hebrew words in qabalistic rituals.

I know I can find out one by one on the internet. But, I thought it would be useful if I had one or two places to look up the pronunciation of those magickal words.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Looks like that one is on Paleo-Hebrew rather than Hebrew.

I haven’t done a lot of workings which involve Hebrew/Latin names but I watched a bunch of YouTube videos on what I was learning about. For example, while learning the lbrp I saw around 5 videos to know how the words are pronounced, slow down the video and learn them that way.

Usually, for hebrew I’d just do my best.
For latin, I tried for a long time to do oldschool (roman) pronunciation like was taught in school. After I started exploring christian spirituality, I had to modernize my latin a little bit.

If the latin is modern, flow with it and go a little softer on the consonants and certain vowels.
Instead of a hard ‘k’ sound with a c, I’d feel the word around a little bit to see which was best. When in doubt, I’d look up the pronunciation.
