Necromancy Manual in the Cambridge Library - Erotic Binding Magic, Divination & Spirit Summoning

- Necromancy conjures to mind everything from the summoning of the dead to foretell the future to the conjuring and binding of spiritual forces, good and evil, to accomplish a wide range of ends. But, just what does real, historical necromancy look like? In this episode I explore a handwritten necromancer's manual from Tudor England - MS Add.3544 (c. 1536-9) - to discover just what kinds of magical practices it contains. From erotic binding magic (love magic), to divination, to conjuring spirits and plants to summoning various spirits, this manual gives us a wonderful insight into the religious and magical world of the late Medieval period.

Imagine explaining to a 15th century magician how today we can just order a necromancy manual online and have it delivered to our house by postal services.
And translated... Imagine explaining to the same how you used Google translate when your Latin faltered. Or used it to refer to citations and quotes from tomes in languages that you don't know at all...
And then show them what we achieve with such power at our disposal and they will run
Druid: summons wolves
Elementalist: summons fire spirits
Necromancer: summons strippers
I find this old occulty stuff very interesting but its hard to find videos that aren't people over dramatizing it for spooky vibes. Thank you!
Look up Arith Harger here on CZcams for a similar treatment of icelandic/nordic shamanism and animism

Criminally underated channel. The inquisition should do something about this!
Yeah we are told explicitly not to play with any of this, which is like telling children not to touch something
I'm putting 'Necromancy' on my Grinder profile. Thanks for a great insight into history you don't normally hear about.
Might attract some wierdos.....might not be that bad, actually.
@@TheEsotericaChannel Maybe conjure up some dancing girls. or boys maybe bats...perhaps this is not such a good idea after all...
Oh yes the fecundity of fecal matter is a heavenly reward the cost of which is a tongue

Thanks for showing the world your true nature, deviant.
@@Amfortas Ha! But who are you to judge? You are not in Heaven yet - you still shit the gates of Hell. You are overly Proud. You would murder love to 'save' your daughter. You imprison men when you find it convenient, caring not at all whom you have left to rot. Do you not know the same will be done to you? True enough, the stench of shit is a sign one is headed to Hell - but at least that one still has the innocent love of the innocent, albeit turned toward perversion. You are in the same boat, and you will learn from one another, or die together.
Seeing "necromancy manual" and "erotic binding magic" in the same title is a little concerning.

LOL
There's a bestiality reference in there somewhere, but I don't like to beat a dead horse.
So I was out for a walk and I found this homeless girl behind a dumpster. I took her home and got her in the bathroom to clean her up a bit. Well, next thing I knew, we were going at it like crazy right there on the bathroom floor. And oh man, the sounds that were coming out of her ... you'd swear she was still alive ... LOL!!! 😄🤣😝🤪
Genius research, Justin. I love the way you teach and explain these subjects.
Thanks!
I love your seriousness with a dash of sass.
Love your work!! God bless you and Esoterica!
Fantastic episode on an endlessly fascinating topic! Thank you so much for your hard work.
Thanks and I agree, this stuff is super fascinating.
Thoroughly absorbing, as usual... Thank you!
Its refreshing to see blatant passion on a topic so steadily tempered. New sub. A+
Does magick is really possible in real life or it's just law of attraction, mental projection, power of will kind of things.
Conjuring demons, actual demons and deities, and actually actively see it work, like building castle or make one fly, need more information. Novice here
Love your channel, and all the dry humor.
Really enjoying this material!
Just was introduced to this channel.
Finding it polished yet comfortable,
Scholarly and hip.
Really fascinating content and history!
Thank you for these great vids. Happy to support you on patron.
Normally someone with an American accent saying "a couple of quid" sounds jarring to British ears, but you executed it to perfection. Good show, that man!
This was fantastic thank you, looking forward to watching and learning more
"Before Covid-19 was even over another new zoonosis pandemic occured. Later scientists were able to track this outbreak back to a CZcams video about medieval magical love spells that were calling for the use of bat blood. This had inspired several people to engage in experiments that finally led to the transmission from animal to human" lol
w h o o p s - yeah, please don't hurt bats. Let the bats eat the mosquitos!
@@TheEsotericaChannel I just imagined some medievel proto-incel causing the Black Death by using rats in his experiments to conjure some naked ladies in his house lol
I guess your disclaimers and basic common sense amongst your viewers should be enough in this case though
Don't lol. In 850 years we will "discover" unseen DNA and realize we're all part animal.
@@davewolf8869 Unseen? Are dna is already almost identical to other animals. We are animals. It's already accepted we came from lower life forms
@@starofsiam1 that's interesting. I saw a video on Brien foresters channel the other day he's the guy who studies The pre Incan civilizations of Peru. Theres a massive wall and gate you must enter through to get to the sun temple and he said they had people at the entrance who checked every single person's health before they were allowed to enter. Some ancient civilizations especially Egypt had the same medical knowledge and capabilities as doctors in the late 19th early 20th century. Theres many examples of head surgeries including metal implants. Dental surgery.fixing broken bones without infections or having to amputate. Then it all just stops and you find more modern people dying because they broke there leg or they decided to shit and piss next to the water supply or there village like simple things seemingly forgotten.The ancients we're aware of hygiene. Water was always a purifying substance in all cultures. We know they had doctors or medicine men. And I don't believe they would have been so widely used if every patient they had died.
Another book on necromancy I have to get. Another great video!!
Do the great uploads never end!? Thank you so much for making all of this awesome, free content Dr. Sledge. Watching your channel has shown me how interesting the objective study of theology is! I'm not religious at all, but all of this information is so crucial for forming a coherent picture of why the world is (and was) the way it is. You've demystified a lot of things I've half-learned in lame History Channel documentaries about "decoding the bible" or whatever, and that helps so much with being able to take the study of the esoteric seriously. Please keep up the awesome content, and I can't wait to see your channel explode into popularity, your videos are so well produced you'll be getting millions of views in no time!
I'll take a week off at some point! Glad you are finding the content engaging!
Good work, brilliant.
Just Subbed🤗Love your content,Blessings💯
Brilliant content!!
Thank you Dr Sledge. I honestly have to hand it to you. I haven't laughed so hard. I was going to make a comment about being at the Cambridge library in 1999 while living in Wirral England for 6 years. However I couldn't stop laughing at the can can dancers and the "For the nerds"14:04, that flashed on the screen 🤣. How you kept a straight face just added to the presentation. Brilliant work.
We gotta have at least a little fun with all this, right?
@@TheEsotericaChannel Absolutely!! I know I sure needed a good laugh.
This is incredible. You are such a good teacher! Please keep it up.
This was great.
I love this channel
Bless you sir
Thanks for another episode, I been binging your channel for the past few days. Not sure if it's on your radar, but I'd be interested in a video on the Arbatel of Magick for sure. I read it after playing the first Silent Hill game on the PS1 because some of the keys were named after these "Olympian spirits" from the text.
New subscriber. This was very well done and very interesting. Your storytelling method is very similar to my own, and I look forward to learning from you.
There definitely are some Spirit Binding Spells needed these days.
I was shocked to hear about spells that involve marrying valerian root. From my understanding certain Druid leaders would marry the earth. I always found that odd, however I can see how that would lend certain “powers” to someone.
maybe it was a form of sympathetic magic, marrying a plant that acted as a stand in for your desired lover.
I'm with George on this one.
@@georgethompson1460 agreed
Does it refer to mending or joining or combining something? You can marry two pieces of something to make it one, such as wood or yarn for example or ropes. 🐝💕🇺🇸 Edit ... nvm, I just reached the wedding part.
This stuff is under appreciated
Man, I'd love to sit down and go through those books, it looks pretty cool.
The naked dancing women spell sounds ridiculous, but then there still are services where you pay somebody and they arrange for (nearly) naked women to dance at your house, so really it's totally normal once you think about it
Pretty much a front for a kicking Party Organizer in the Middle Ages. You pay him money. He waves his wands, writes in bat's blood, and that night, he carts in a cart load of prostitutes for a swinging party. Get caught? Blame the MAAAAAAAAAAGIIIIIIC. Yup, all seems above board and quite normal human social behavior really. It was the alcohol that made me do it, it was the drugs.. it was a major religious experience.. it was the necromancer.. but really everyone just wanted to have some sexy fun.
ethically less corrupt? i wonder. maybe a little. circumstances of employment of said dancers would effect that i suppose.
Okay, algorithm, you have my attention.
I love your channel. Will you please consider a presentation that features the Urim and Thummim?
I searched for years for your channel.
I find this stuff very interesting.
Guy that straight up looks like Rasputin talking about magic? instant subscribe... Dazzle away Hairy Harry Potter. You have my undivided attention.
😅💖
excellent!
I imagine a necromancer charged a pretty hefty fee. These spells seem very time and labor intensive, everything being a specific time and place and object and strict order and very complex. Just obtaining the ingredients must have been a full time job. Also some sizable expenses, it seems nearly everything used has to be brand new.
Oh it’s very expensive…..likely only affordable by those in a certain entertainment industry. Unfortunately these things go sour pretty quickly as demons are only allegiant to the sacrifice so….if you run out of money for sacrifices, the demons already know too much about you and will turn to you
@@emil8366 LOL WHAT ARE YOU EVEN TALKING ABOUT
@@emil8366 ya dumb and you know literally nothing of magic
@@tachyon7904 u seem triggered. I pray for you and your pending shadow work
@@emil8366 I'm not mad I'm just confused
You mentioned 22 surviving English books of magic. Can you share a list of these?
That'd be nice wouldn't it 🤷♀️
That’s like handing a child a loaded gun.
@@clemfandango5908 stop gassing it up. Tools are tools
@@clemfandango5908 no its not. Its nothing like that. Like at all and you know this.
Any useful tool can be used as a weapon
well this is my first video from your channel. i am hooked. I'd love to see your astrological natal chart. you are 100% not like most humans
I am so tempted to get a copy, it would sit well next to my Grimoire of Saint Cyprian.
Have you used any of them, to what use ?
@@mikhael.j7. No. My collection is more along the lines of being an acquired and interesting library. It is however, quite interesting. The practical books I have tend to be more folk-magic and apotropaic charms.
Interesting video! As a newcomer to the history of alchemy, magic, hermeticism, do you recommend any specific texts? My intro to this was through reading the Kybalion which I very much enjoyed! Thank you!
Great objectivity
i believe you can improve sound quality by using a painted or dyed sheet over a thin layer of foam.
I don't believe in much, but I find the subject matter fascinating.
It would appear that the magical diagrams share several similarities with Old Norse Seiðr magic from the 13th century.
In this Episode, doctor Sledge was really inspired. The one i laughted most for the jokes.
Wow really that was a thing. I didn’t know.
Thank goodness we have synthetic bat’s blood these days. Of course, Ina would prefer you use organic free range.
not like in wuhan….
Is this available in print? I own the Malleus and the Daemonologie. This would be a good addition.
I wish I could become a professor of myths, legends, the occult, fables, and other esoterica. I wish I knew how to go about doing so in a way I could afford.
Write doctor on your forehead
The most intense but yet simplistic way to gain the knowledge you wish, im assuming and hoping for the purpose of educating those in need, would be to access the akashic records. Do alittle research on Edgar Cayce to start, he accessed the records through a meditative state and in doing so was able to provide natural remedies and cures for numerous people. The records are literally a history of all that's ever existed since the first breath of the divine. Godspeed.
Is this script noted in the history of library records that was being kept in england or does it just appear later?
In coolness factor Justing Sledge is right up there next to Richard Chainsaw.
I may have missed it but do you have a video on the egyotian book of (the dead) coming forth unto the day?
Hearing the name Foreman with necromancy and erotica, one can't help but think of Simon Foreman.
Yep, the modern editor explores that possible connection and concludes there probably isn't one.
You ever done a video on the 'Sabbateans' ?Jacob Frank etc.
Lecturing on them this week and taught a whole class about him/them once.
This some shit I love to learn about
I hope that you tell me what is the most powerful book about necromancy
Do you think the bat's blood and mole's blood could possibly be along the same lines as dove's blood, butterfly's blood, etc., ink?
This is one of the most bizarre videos I've ever seen on my recommended feed
my job here to done :)
I tried the infinite money glitch and now i have a crown royal bag that spawns infinite pennies. One at a time. Thanks.
b a s e d
what else am i gonna do with the dead bat in my attic?
Wouldn't Scapulomancy be a form of true "necromancy," divination by the dead? Haven't finished the video yet, just a thought when you said "divination by the dead never happened" around 4:30
There is always the possibility that bat's blood and other animal references could be a code for various magical herbs
I have seen this suggestion before so it's not my original suggestion
Recipe book.Hmm? I see a good size mortar & pestle in the back ground
Nothing in that dancing spell said it had to be MY house. Finally ammo if i ever need to prank a vicar.
Is there a spell that proves magic real? Something that have clearly measurable effects?
You can get a deck of tarot cards and shuffle them while you ask a question, eventually a card will shoot out of the deck and give you your answer. That's magick. If your looking for powers look at chi and meditation.
@@MisstressMourtisha As you try to apply the meaning of that card to yourself, you are creating the answer. It might be true, and it might even be useful, but it's just a way of talking to yourself (sometimes we need that). Is this what magick means to you?
@@madjiofcimmeria If something is real it doesn't goes away just because you understand it.
@@madjiofcimmeria So if you learn magic it stops being magic for you (it becomes science), but it remains magic for those who don't understand it. In this framework of understanding magic only exist as a misinterpretation of nature.
@@madjiofcimmeria You need to understand the controls at least
Getting some serious anarchist's cookbook vibes from that book...
Where do you buy and exact copy of this book?
16:39 I wonder if the "creation of flies" has anything to do with "Spanish flies" being used as aphrodisiacs in the 18th century, perhaps most famous in the Marquis de Sade's 'poisoning scandal.'
I would love to hear your opinion on stories of gods, or at least powerful supernatural entities still active in the wildest pristine forests, mountain wilderness, and tundra. It seems logic and reason do not apply in these areas...only rituals of protection and supplication. Mostly avoidance as the gods are typically pretty and cruel and their ways are foreign to human cognition. We cannot comprehend their motivations, but mostly, they seem to toy with humans for amusement. There are many stories of still active occurances available all over the internet.
For example, fairies, now given a Tinkerbell image, historically are evil and deadly tricksters. I had issues with them. (They are not nice!) I suspect many of the 411 disappearances are due to these beings, and other supernatural entities.
I for one agree with you - I've thought this for ages, especially about ones where kids show back up days later, unscathed, talking about friendly bears and the like.
Also, the Sidh ("fairies") aren't always nasty, but they are easily offended and hate being called fairies
@@stephk5797 does magick work like that??
