One last plug for this Friday's talk where, along with Dr. Alexander Cummins, we'll be exploring the folk-necromantic background and practical demonological operationalization (not to mention pseudepigraphic pseudo-history) of the Faustian !

I need to start borrowing different types of , because at a certain point it just gets repetitive.

Even a recently released Grimoire translated from Arabic was surprisingly derivative of Greek Christian Magic.

Maybe it's time I get back to works on the & Magic.

What's neat to me about and are understanding the thoughts and reasoning behind , and what knowledge informed those decisions and thinking.

Here's a spell you can inscribe on a plate and throw into a fire to extinguish it! Keep a backup fire extinguisher on hand just in case 😜 this is from "Long Lost Friend", possibly the first American

Anyway this is why I recommend translated and annotated editions, no need to redo the work unless the only available translation is really bad or biased :spellbook2:

@northfolk @folklore @folklorethursday Michael Scot indeed had a long legendary afterlife as a sorcerer β€” here's a 15th-century manuscript (Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana MS plut. 89 sup. 38) where he's ascribed authorship of a magical demon- and ghost-summoning ritual!

It reads "Experimentum Michaelis Scoti nigromantici.
Si volueris per demones habere scientiam..." (An Experiment of Michael Scot, Necromancer.
If you should wish to have knowledge by demons...) etc.

One thing I learned the hard way is that explicitly texts are only a subset of how magic is understood and perceived in a culture. If you want to understand how a culture lived with and experienced the supernatural you've got to look at their poetry, stories, songs, paintings, theatre et al. If all you know is the you're not even getting half the story and what you do have is devoid of context.
