Accordingly, Walker tells us that, "From the Kabbalah Lazzarelli quotes an allegory, which he says is in the Sepher Yezira". The intent was to connect the Kabbalistic use of Hebrew letters in divination with his own "magical theory of language" in which "he believes that words have a real, not conventional, connection with things and can exert power over them" – another significant aspect of Hermetic mysticism that had its roots in Pythagorean and Neoplatonic belief, and that he wished to integrate into the Christian message.
Walker explains that Lazzarelli from the Kabbalah quotes an allegory saying it is found in the Sepher Yezira. The aim was to link the Kabbalistic use of Hebrew letters for divination with his own "magical theory of language," where he believes words have a genuine, not conventional, connection to things and can exert power over them – another significant aspect of Hermetic mysticism that originated in Pythagorean and Neoplatonic beliefs, which he wished to integrate into the Christian message.
