Magic & Necromancy - The Heptameron - Medieval Guide to Summoning Angels, Demons & Planetary Spirits
Vložit
- čas přidán 30. 06. 2024
- Medieval necromancy can be thought as a technology by which human beings summoned the powers of the beings which inhabited the realm above the earth and below the throne of God. These beings included righteous angels, malevolent demons and planetary or celestial intelligences responsible for the forces of nature and there was, perhaps, nor more ambitious text for their invocation than the Heptameron or the Elucidation of Necromancy attributed to Peter of Abano. This volume of medieval magic claimed to systematize all former magical practices and went on to influence everything from the Lesser Key of Solomon to the Enochian Angel sessions of Dr. John Dee.

It would be amazing to see you visit or gain access to the Vatican library! If lockdowns and travel ease up I would hope you get that privilege!
I would love to know if you're a practitioner of esoteric practices or strictly a teacher. Also, if you do practice, I would love to see an episode where you talk about your personal experiences with things like Kabbalah, Magik, Summoning etc. Great channel BTW. I rarely miss an episode.
@@beauwhitlock5034 You can read about my beliefs on the FAQ on my website.
@@derekowenjr3599 Tell me more about this "serpent race" - I'm curious and you seem to know a lot about it!
@@TheEsotericaChannel Wait... I can't see the comment about the serpent race. Please tell me more Derek! I looked, and your profile is from Tennessee. I'm in Memphis. Don't make us look bad 😂
This channel started in 2020, yet there is so much high quality stuff already
Yep trying to keep up both quantity and quality of content!
He had to have something to do during the pandemic lol. All jokes aside. I love your channel. Your a great teacher. Your Intelligent and have a great way of explaining things, without sounding snobbish, boring, or condescending like most highly educated people.
@@TheEsotericaChannel I honestly do *NOT* understand how you can make one these a week. Are you a fast reader, or do you rely on good memory and previous studies?
@@nooneinparticular3370 yes
@@TheEsotericaChannel Ambiguous answers, huh? Yeah, alright, keep your seven demons in a crystal to yourself, I don't care...
Okay on second thought I care *immensely.*
'Maybe I WAS a necromancer' is officially what I want on my gravestone now 😂
"They seem me summonin' and they hatin'!"
Summon a bi#$h ❤❤❤
I wish I had taken school more seriously when I was young, I have always been interested in a lot of the topics you so thoroughly explain. I just want to thank you for what you do sir.
You shouldnt feel bad.We would of never been taught this kinda stuff in school anywho.💛
You only learn fake history and indoctrination based propaganda in school. The best learning happens between you and a book.
Lol....yeah. That's what I was thinking. No schools teach this. Unless maybe you're living in the 1500s
@@isisneteru1013This is like fringe science. You would first get a doctorate in religion and then focus your studies on esoteric religious practices and beliefs. So to get where he is would require years of "nose in the book" reading of religious texts even after spending years studying religion in college.
@jaymz1758 Yes. True but you would study it in the context of medieval/Renaissance magical beliefs or occult studies under a religion/anthropology/history type degree but not as science. Modern science went in a totally different direction. You learn chemistry in school not alchemy. You learn the periodic table not the 4/5 element system. Those are considered pre-scientific worldviews
Ah, a heart warming topic. Fun for all the family :-)

The subtle "magnets, how do they work" reference gave me a real world LOL. Superb as always.
I cannot fully express how much I appreciate your channel, Dr.
Thank-you for all your efforts and offerings.
Who else, when thinking of the crystal with seven demons that you can ask any question of, is imagining an octahedron (a d8), in a magic 8 ball, with of course the 8th side saying "ask again later"?
I wish i known about this a few years earlier. I’m glad you dropped this. I literally had no idea this arcane part of history existed. ❤️
Because of You, I am now updating my PayPal to donate my last dollars (typically reserved for my day's pint). Thanks, Dr. Sledge. I am terrified of spiritual forces and would NEVER delve into this stuff, if it weren't for You.
You're fekkin' lovely, Sir!
At least one excerpt of the Heptameron is mentioned in Reginald Scot's The Discoverie of Witchcraft, especially in the said "grimoire section", anonymously added to chapter XV in the 3rd edition, published in 1665. Even the 1st edition (1584) shows some possible influence by having a reproduction of the names and seals of the planetary angels. Considering that Dr Dee drew inspiration from the Heptameron, it seems right to say that the book has elusively paved the way for the development of esotericism in Britain at least until the XIX century.
I never heard of the Heptameron, but now I need it in my collection right next to the keys of Solomon. Angel and "fallen angel" magic has been fascinating to me. Something intrigues me about the kind of will and mind one must have to feel that one can control such powers. Time to grab a copy!
Also, new Evil Dead sequel WHEN?! Would definitely watch that
There actually is a new sequel coming out this year!
@@inquisitor4635 the people writing this book and performing this magic were pious Christians. There isn't a singular "Christian context."
@@inquisitor4635 thank you for the recommendation, but as a non-Christian I am not specifically looking for Christian content. Angels and various otherworld beings transcend one single belief system. Wish you well on your journey!
@@TheEsotericaChannel that's exciting! I'm hoping to get through this text before the next one comes out. 😌
Scariest movie ever
Fantastic channel, Dr Sledge! Totally fascinating and very well presented. Much respect and appreciation.
This is one of the most fascinating and thought-provoking text I have seen you cover!
Excellent work bringing Maxwell's Equations into it... Maxwell had a daemon too!
Oh yeah, that's part of why I had his equations here!
Thanks Esoterica for all you do.
Thank you for this content and your scholarship. Your insight constantly inspires and enthralls me.
You are such a gem. Don't stop with your content.
Just wow! What a treasure trove this is, I'm going to have to watch this again there was a lot there to absorb, thank you 🙏 👍😮🖤
Thank you Dr. Sledge. Timely and apropos. Really top shelf! It’s fascinating to me that just a couple of weeks ago I put together my own weekly ritual practice guide based in part on Francis Barrett’s 1801 “The Magus.”
i always have the greatest epiphanies about reality when i watch your program! ty for this!
Thank you so very much for each and every morsel of treasure posted, Dr. Absolutely fantastical to feel the little mouse listening in on your wizard speak. 🤓 Kudos, sir.
I wonder if the complex hierarchy of Christian supra-human beings has any similarities with eastern hierarchies of gods and demigods. I'm sure the language is quite difference between the two general world views, but it'd be interesting if someone has done a comparative study of eastern and western spirits and spirit beings.
The connection can be made through the Zoreastern belief in angels and demons and connecting their names with Hinduism. Their roles are reversed however the name for good deities vs demons are reversed for in Zoreasterism Devas / assuras.
@@mmore242 Interesting, thank you for sharing that.
Look into a book called Stellas Daemonum. It just came out in November and it might be just what you're looking for
@@samuelshepard Oh wonderful, thank you
@@mmore242 You are wrong, they are reversed in hinduism good - Devas, bad or good - Assuras, but in Persia Ahura was Good and devas were usually bad.
This is truly a fascinating playlist! I'm really enjoying it - thanks for making & sharing it with us! ❤️❤️
Great work! Time to catch up on all videos.
Thanks for all the information!
This channel is top notch!
Awesome and super-informative channel. Thank you Dr. Sledge!
you dont know how much i apreciate your work , thanks for the education
I just finished reading Skinner’s work on this. Thanks for making a video on it.
This is an Awesome Channel. Keep up the Cool & Interesting Works !!
Thought provoking and insightful. Well done.
Holy cow esoteric archives is INSANE thanks for that link
Thanks you for another informative and entertaining presentation. I also greatly appreciate your support!
Mr. Peterson, an honor to have you comment so kindly on the channel. It would be great to sit down for a conversation for the channel if you're interested. Again, many thanks for all your work over the years.
Always such fantastic insights 🔥
I've been waiting for this one!!!!!
Another great video Justin, thank you for making these. Looking at the illustrations of the magic circle I can't help but be reminded of the Lesser banishing/invoking ritual of the pentagram from the Hermetic Golden Dawn with the names of God (tetragrammaton, ADNI, etc.) and the archangels being attributed to different cardinal directions.
Good stuff bossman, keep at it
I love listening to your videos. My vocabulary is really expanding!
Thank you, Dr. Sledge for this video. Because of this video I have purchased the Peterson/Pseudo-Abano Elucidation of Necromancy/new translation of the Heptameron. I am also a big fan of Peterson's other works.
Awesome, he's a great scholar and we should all be lucky to have him around. Thanks for supporting his work!
Timely and helpful thanks for sharing!
I appreciate your work sir!
So appreciative of an erudite scholarly study of esoteric and occult subjects you are a light house for those who seek true attainment
I really do enjoy your channel. I know so many others do as well. Great work! ✨🌙✨
Dude, I almost choked on my coffee with your summoning / hating, ICP, and #NecromancySideHustle jokes in there. Always a pleasure to watch your videos, but that was just deliciously sly icing on the cake. ;)
Great video!
Excellent as always.
When I started watching this channel I was so happy to find someone with this kind of knowledge base who hasn’t been driven batty by it
Just driven batty by other things.
Excellent! I'm looking forward to watching this, but I'll save it for later when I can be home and follow along with my beloved volume from Ouroboros Press.
I think we may have the same.taste in books Paul. See you on the flipside I am sure. Qliphotic dreams!
Dr. you are delightful!
This has got to be one of the most fascinating and informative sites online. To anyone interested in history, particularly the middle ages, this information is a wonderful godsend and fascinating to the N'th degree. Thank you, doctor and keep up the good work.
Try reading the law of one by ra
This all reminds me strongly of Phillip Pullman's His Dark Materials, especially the Peter's truth telling crystal with angels inside of it, which is almost exactly the same concept as the alethiometer.
I couldn’t give this video a like and mess up the sublime perfection of the stat
The Magi , Munipulating the sympathetic structure of reality since time in memorial. Dr. Justin you do have a way with words.
Another good one!
Well timed! Just after St.Joseph Petersons fantastic edition, which I assume you've already dived into. It's great to hear it discussed AS I'm reading it, thank you!
the best part about your magnificent channel is that you dont do the whole speaking in a sultry low voice while talking about demons. I swear some of these channels take themselves far too seriously. PS. you should change the piano intro music to Peter Gabriel's "Sledge Hammer".
Nah, that seems silly. This stuff is interesting and fun, why so serious?
@@TheEsotericaChannel players be flexin' thats why.
You are the man! Amazing so smart and informed!!
Best channel on CZcams!!
That was awesome, thank you.
Idk what or if u ever experienced anything spiritual but as someone going thru something very strongly spiritual rn these types of videos have been helpful n I just wana thank u 4 covering it all regardless of disbelief and atheism
#necromancysidehustle. ;)
Amazing job, yet again. Dr. Sledge!
Thank you very much for the Heptameron link :). Be well.
Love this channel.
Your a legend
Man, your deadpan humour is outstanding. How do keep a straight face?
Newly subbed.
This is a good thing to learn at an early time in life.
I gotta say, I love your humour, not because you make jokes all the time, but because you don't. It's like it all sounds so formal and erudite and out of nowhere you go like #NecromancySlideHussle 🤣
I remember the first time one of your jokes took me by surprise because I thought everything was 100% serious and I was like ¨Wait, did he really just said that?¨😅
I mean we gotta have some fun with this stuff, right?
@@TheEsotericaChannel The original people involved with this stuff seemed to be having a blast, so yeah.
All of this. All of this is going into my D&D campaign. It’s so good.
Thanks for the history lessons and information. I trust you because you studied
Sorry for my absence, but amazing presentation as always brother!
I have ordered the book from his site per your suggestion. Thank you.
Sir your humor is impeccable.
Good information. Thank you
Thank you again!
Amazing deep dive concise esoteric video as always, Justin Sledge!! So this Esoterica video has me like unintelligible and just pointing at it like, this! whoa this is fascinating!, just from my rabbit hole arm’s length subject dive during the fall on tomes regarding the video’s topic! Onward to 250K!
Thanks love kindly, friend!
You are the coolest guy ever
Just guy that makes weird videos for the internet

Brilliant sense of humor 👏🏻👍🏻. Priceless handling of the topic . And educational. #Necromancy Side Hussel # 🤣 Necromancy E ..
Super appreciate you!
Great video
This is better than going to my gallery of magic but I do want to break into Justin's about his office and point out the use of some of the artifacts
I don't really have much on the way of magic stuff, and then mostly ironically then
Amazing channel
“Yep… necromancy’s a team sport here” had me rolling lmfao
That introduction was some sort of open mic night tone poem
Thank you for the great content x the laughs.
Electromagnetism is a little more predictive than say ... A demon. Perfect.
Very interesting!
thank you so much!
You make the day of Venus complete 💕
Deep high this one 🙏
#angelicproletariatunite :)) 👏
A lot of lost gems in asylums...and the Vatican... They have that in common 🤷🏻♀️
Thank you sir!!
that concept of the magical circles being a tumbler to a vast cosmological immediately made me think of "Yog-Sothoth is the key and the guardian of the gate. Past, present, future, all are one in Yog-Sothoth. He knows where the Old Ones broke through of old, and where They shall break through again. He knows where They have trod earth's fields, and where They still tread them, and why no one can behold Them as They tread." H.P. Lovecraft. especially enlightening considering that Lovecraft's inspiration for Yog-Sothoth was the Sefirot of Kabbalah.
Thanks!
Seriously, I love this channel! I studied Jewish studies, centered on Jewish culture in medieval Germany and enjoy highly, how You fill a lot of gaps in my knowledge.
You're comparison between demons and magnetism is apt. Indeed they are as physical and predictable as magnetism. It's just that the equations which define the actions of demons are far more complicated than that of base magnetism, which makes me think that the physics of 10,000 AD might look more like Solomonic magic than contemporary physics. That being said, I avoid interacting with these entities for all the same reasons that a biologist avoids a Bengal tiger. "He is not a tame lion."
I have been watching this channel for a few weeks, and I love it for the academic deep dives and unexpected chuckles. ❤
The crystal “Like Wikipedia, but better”. 😂
Dr. Justin Sledge would be my first pick for a Ghostbusters squad.
