When I lived in Khartoum, we had a guard who was from Chad. He would, as you explained, write extensive verses of the Quran on a special writing board, with soot -based ink, then wash the words off and give the water to people with ailments. He wrote in an archaic Maghrebi style script. Once while I was giving him a ride to a health clinic (he said “I’ve got a headache. And also malaria”) he told me he didn’t know how to read, although he wrote the passages from memory. I said, “What does it say on the back of that bus?” He reiterated that he didn’t know how to read. The sign on the bus that he couldn’t read said, “56 passengers”!
This video is making me rethink everything….
Is there a way to watch "What Does It Mean To Be a Witch?" at this time? I realize the event has passed but would happily pay to watch the content.
At 4:17… did Youtube's censorship force you to censor the nipples of a STATUE?
OMG That oil one reminded me of Sana Sana Culito de Rana OMG LOL I'm sorry 🙈
Its astonishing that a modern person can actually believe this nonsense. Such a waste of time.
5:26 this is essentially name dropping to make it look legit. Same technique is used in scam emails and fake news
When are grimoires?
Hail the 218 Current
So i got aome new ideas out of this for a story i wanted to make namely with world building.
I had considered characters learning magic from scrolls before, but having dedicated grimoires makes sense for specialists in magic space wise. Would be useful for those still practicing spells, have a large number of spells they need at a given time, or for anything thats particularly complicated in general.
And with the adventbof digial storage of text based works, it would beg the question of how magic users find use of such things. The imagined someone creating a spell that allows them to look into the files of a USB stick for example, try to read the book of shadows by using magic to read a PDF without a computer. Would be beat, no? While i can still see a preference for physical stuff to read in terms of convenience in situations, one aspect i like to explore is how magic adapts to technology and vise versa. So this video legit got me thinking in terms of how spells be passed down in a world with differing tech advances
8:57 I almost thought you were going to break out into the KSI song here
fantasy witchcraft > real witchcraft
The reason so many young people are going to witch craft is explainable by one simple thing.
Scooby doo The Hex Girls
"We're the Hex girls! And w'ere gonna casta spell on youuuu"
we were converted when young
10:21 I think there’s a certain logic to it if you believe that those texts really do have a divine origin, for a long time I’ve been really fascinated with the importance of the written word especially after growing up Catholic and seeing how much reverence the book of the Gospel was treated sometimes at Mass. If you were illiterate I imagine those works and words would’ve seemed even more magical than they are to us.
0:42 Mass literacy? Not in the US.😢
The Realistic Equivalent, Or what They were are Encoded Cookbooks. A kin to whats considered Trade Secret Recipes. Wormswart possibly being the substitute name for garlic. Used against them as a form of sorcery by small-minded people of ancient days who sought after thier "healing brews" made of Chicken Broth…
1. Download all known magical texts.
2. Save all to a usb stick.
3. Congratulations. You're now a witch / wizard / nercomancer / alchemist / …
"sacrifice" is one of the most horrible concepts in religion/magic. Justify it all you want, its evil.
It’s giving voodoo witchcraft.
"Reality" when both are fake….
Made a pretty fun game on PS2.😜
The Gnostic gospels have taken my fear of death and christian guilt from me. It seems much more likely that there is an evil God claiming to be good and clearly lying about it as opposed to one who claims to be good and lets children be assaulted.
9:35 in the Book Sinuhe the Egyptian by Mika Waltari, Sinuhes Father is a doctor who writes spells on papyrus, then dissolves the symbols in wine and gives it to his patients to drink.
DUDE . . . ONE WORD
"HARAM"
thanx 👍
Taoist amulets are calligraphic chinese symbols written in yellow paper.
This are all copies ,you don't mention the work of kemetic masters the Genesis to whom a past would only be prescribed to Atlantis
What a cutie haha
Does priest and hujurs not see these records? 😂 Maaan everything is hocus pocus
To often do we disregard the physical components of digital technology. I think it was ContraPoints who made me realize this when she was talking about our growing panic about the threat of AI killing all human by stating that it still relies on physical servers in physical locations, likely maintained by humans.
With that being said, I don’t agree with the sentiment of magic being lost when transferring a grimoire to digital… not entirely.
The ritual of creating the physical book is gone, but the information is communicated, and to most people that’s more important. I don’t see why a laptop, computer, or hard drive can’t also be used as foci and The magic of language and its iconography is very much alive.
I wouldn’t be surprised if a witch were to incorporate their craft into the art of computer programming.
I WANT YOUR T-SHIRT !
Solomon's Key AND Lemegethon, Dragon Rouge, Grand Albertus, Barrett's "The Mage"…..
Your videos are very well done. It's been a while since I've wanted to binge a YouTube channel. Thanks for the content you put out
I would say individual va group, but group only had to happen after the original 1:1 teaching or self discovery were eradicated
This process of licking or drinking the words of a speall predated both the bible and the koran which is interestigng that is seems to have continued
The connection between writing and magic goes deep. I have long suspected this is even why we talk about "spells".
Amazing video, refreshing to see interesting well-researched content.
I think magical literary objects carry the weight of their power within their handwritten intentions and the intentional physical form, in which they are given.
Think of a door to a vault…if the door looks formidable, it may come across as such upon practical examination…but, it could also be made from durable, but thin materials.
But, if the door is physically voluminous, thick, heavy and intentional, then it has more intention, than it has meaning.
I'd be very interested in reading through old grimoires but just from anthropological point of view. That said the original Book of Shadows makes me angry. Bringing witchcraft into modern society and popularizing it, is one of the most tragic things that happened to the brief era of enlightenment and intellectualism. Modern witches lead women backwards at an alarming rate.
