  141. 8:03 FIY, in the 21st century, the medical field of hospice care now does acknowledge what they call Visioning. It is regarded by professionals working in this field as a sign the person is nearing death. Hospice workers inform & educate their dying patients and their families that the dying person may very likely begin to experience visits from deceased loved ones, often parents, siblings, spouses and even pets. The visioning seems generally to begin about a month prior to death, and tends to ramp up as the person gets closer to death. Visioning is not a result of the administration of drugs because people not given drugs also have visioning experiences as death nears (it's been reported that this happens to dying people for hundreds of years), and also because the dying are sometimes visited by loved ones whom neither they nor the family were aware had predeceased the dying patient. Also, the visions of deceased loved ones do not cause fear or anxiety in the patient but in fact the opposite: they bring comfort to the dying person. This is an important distinction from hallucinations, which tend to be confusing & even upsetting to the dying person and are an indication something is wrong, a symptom of their terminal disease, or a problem with the drugs the person is being given. So to be clear, visioning is not the same as hallucinations despite the title of the research paper shown at the 8:03 mark. Visioning people see their deceased loved ones in the room with them, sometimes floating up near the ceiling, and even carry on conversations with them while others in the room see nothing. Dying people who cannot speak sometimes reach out to invisible figures, or their eye movements indicate they are seeing something, paying attention to something nearby that no one else sees. Amazingly, this phenomenon appears to occur to dying dogs, cats, & horses-- Rupert Sheldrake has discussed this. Reliable and well-presented information on visioning and other death & dying topics can be gotten from Hospice Nurse Julie's Youtube channel. Peace to all. Thank you for this brilliant channel, Dr. Sledge. 👻

  336. So I've been working really hard lately on my programming skills, and I've begun noticing some striking similarities between the community of back-end software developers and the Kabbalistic milieu. For one thing, nested layers of complexity, like what you described in your comment about the nested sephiroth, are par for the course in both disciplines. A simple statement can be understood to reference hundreds of lines of code just like a certain key word in a Kabbalistic text is understood, by Kabbalists in the know, as a massive complex of layered meanings. Believe it or not, I've been pretty able to effectively adapt the thinking style I developed during my amateur study of Kabbalah into a basic understanding of how code works. From this perspective, a lot of the arcane text-specific references you mention as barriers to entry-level studies would be looked at by the dev community as cardinal compatibility sins. One of the stupidest things you can catch yourself doing as a programmer is designing software that only you, the developer, will ever understand. It makes it pretty much impossible for anyone else to do anything with your code, so other developers will usually ignore it and find an alternative rather than try to understand your personal vernacular. It would seem that such standards did not exist in the Kabbalistic community, but that likely has to do with the fact that, while devs are frequently seeking more devs to expand their projects, Kabbalists tend to be pretty proprietary and tight-lipped about their discoveries. While I'm still struggling to understand the reasons for that (though the Sabbatai Tzvi business does shed some light on it), I think it's important to recognize that Kabbalah was not made for amateurs to pick up easily. There are layers of obfuscation which, from what I've seen, seem to be viewed as necessary deterrents to seekers who are not earnest in their desire to learn and grow.

  893. I always experience a wry chuckle when I hear the world "enlightenment" to describe what, in the west, is basically materialism, whilst in the east, the term refers to the transcendent state that a human may reach at which point he/she discovers that the world, universe, reality itself, is actually nothing more than consciousness. In the opinion of this occult autodidact, it's the people of the east who got it right. Speaking from experience, I can say that magic absolutely works, (my favorite occult quote of all time: "Magic always works. If what you're doing doesn't work, then it isn't magic.) and somehow I doubt that reality would be so easily bent to the human will if it had an independent material reality. What else could it be than consciousness. For my money, philosophical theories are a fine way to pass the time while drinking a pint with friends, but all the clever jargon in the world won't help you cure an "incurable" disease, or deflect bullets with your will. For that you need magic. You were absolutely right (you usually are,) when you said that the bulk of people studying the occult have never given a damn about what the academics think of their great luminaries. We haven't, don't, and probably never will. Still, it gives me a lovely heartwarming feeling to hear somebody with your caliber of scholarship actually say what a shame it is that the occult philosophers are ignored by academia. It is a shame, but then, do we really want professors and their ilk learning how to cast spells, read minds, fly, etc.?? All the best, N.

  923. It's worth pointing out for all the textual critique nerds that Gospel of Phillip does not say J kissed M on the mouth. We don't know for sure where he kissed her. The world's most annoying lacuna destroys that particular noun for us. I once had the fantastic opportunity to take a class on the Gospel of Mary and Mary Magdalene with Dr. King (I apologize for being possibly obnoxious and name dropping here, but it was really fucking cool!) My absolute fave memory of grad school was working with Dr. King on my own Coptic fragments translation of Gospel of Mary! One of the things I found for myself was what I call pregnancy imagery in the text. The first thing was the spheres that the soul ascends through. This is standard for soul ascents. But for this text, as you pass from one sphere to the next, it's almost as if you're being born into the next realm. That's because the Coptic uses two interesting verbs that create an overall context of pregnancy and birth. The first is ϫⲡⲟ, which in English is usually rendered to "bring forth" or "get for yourself" but can mean "beget, give birth". The second is ⲟⲩⲥⲱϥ, which is often translated "bring to nought", "destroy" but can also mean "to leave barren". We often see the pregnancy aspect of ϫⲡⲟ in the fairly common translation of Soter's teaching "matter gives birth to a passion" at the beginning of Gospel of Mary. But I think understanding a following teaching as "give birth to my peace" instead of "acquire my peace" fits the theology of the text better. Also, the pregnancy aspect of ⲟⲩⲥⲱϥ changes Wrath's accusation of the soul as being "a destroyer of realms" ("space conquerer" in King) to "one who leaves realms barren". Unwieldy in English, but true to the imagery and theology of the text. Each of these verbs is used 3 times. Only Soter uses ϫⲡⲟ and ⲟⲩⲥⲱϥ is only used when relating Mary's version of the Soter's teaching. Anyways, sorry for the wall of text! I know I suck because of it, but Gospel of Mary is my jam!! I could bore you to death about this book. Thanks for this fantastic episode, sir!

  1108. Good Doctor Sledge, Thank you once again for another fabulous learning experience! I especially love all matters pertaining to Lilith, and I love the fact that the purpose of this summoning spell was simply to gain knowledge of things, (if perhaps things of a "doubtful nature"). I feel that gaining knowledge is one of the nobler (less sleazy) uses to which black magic has been put in the past, and it feels more innocent and lighthearted, (and slightly less ridiculous) than say, the treasure-seeking motif. I realize that Lilith has the whole terrifying night-hag, baby-killer reputation, and that that is perhaps a bit more questionable baggage than one wants a friend to have, but when I was young I reasoned that Lilith was probably being targeted with lies by very patriarchal religious authorities who just wanted to keep a bad-assed female deity down. I figured that I probably wouldn't have gotten along with those same authorities myself, had I lived during their times, and so I decided not to believe the hype, and went about worshipping Lilith as the goddess of rebellious women everywhere. This never did me any harm that I'm aware of, and I'd almost forgotten about the ancient fear that people once had of her potentially turning up and absconding with the lives of their wee ones. When you reminded me of those beliefs and fears in your earlier videos on Lilith, I took a second look at her, and wondered if, in my earlier neo-pagan and feminist zeal, I may have bet on the wrong horse... and then I thought, what the hell? In for a penny, etc. Lilith has gotten me this far, so I won't let a few creepy rumors sour me on her now. I especially love the Catholic story (at least I think they were the ones who cooked it up?) about her allegedly "seducing" Eve, in place of Satan, as the real serpent in Eden. (HOT!) It sounds like she was saying: "Hey, Eve, why don't you ditch this bozo and come away with me to Dykesville?" At least that's how I read it. Anyway, please forgive the rambling and oversharing. Have perhaps consumed too much coffee this morning. Love your channel, as always, and I continue to be grateful for all the knowledge you share with the curious. Saves me from having to actually summon Lilith (or perhaps that other fellow) via the mirror! I still bought the T-shirt, however, because how could I not? All the best! Blessed Be! Beir bua agus beannacht! --N

  1155. Wow. Listening to this reminded me of a situation that suddenly strikes me as more substantial than I originally accepted it for. A month ago one early evening, I was walking along and on the sidewalk right before me was a centipede. Not the centipede with the lanky and follicle thin, long legs, but of the variety with a more robust and substantial exoskeleton, and thicker legs. When once I wouldn’t have wasted a split second before smashing this rather apparently menacing insect which I felt emanated a hideously shocking and disgusting image, I actually couldn’t bring myself to strike it. Now I beheld something with a beautiful and pleasant image, with its rows of legs rolling along as though it were a ballet dancer. So, today where I only have an absolute tendency in my actions, I should not deny that with time the permanence is loosened and where we would have sworn there’s never likelihood for any changes, we should one day awaken to difference that awakens and grows with time. Ha ha, Im having fun dissecting your discussion, specifically what you were touching upon with the sounds, and how the sounds that seem to have been removed from His name by your work in question are, coincidentally, your favorite. My favorite sound is the sine wave, which theoretically should not be audible, but since there is resonance from accidental artifacts, we hear the rattles from those artifacts, in the resonant frequencies of the artifacts. So maybe we can say that vocal or vowel sounds are sine waves and the consonants are these artifacts, and they originate in our lungs and bodies? I studied phrenology and phonemics so I often overexamine sounds and supposed pronunciations. THANK YOU, BOTH, for sharing your discussion. I’m just a successor to an old Missouri Synod Lutheran, so any lectures that expose me to ‘that them there Olde World religions’ and it’s accompanying Liturgies are always a breath of fresh air for me! THANKS A MILLION!

  1321. Had a couple of unrelated thoughts about this one (or at least, I don't see a relationship between them). One had to do with the prophets arguing "Child sacrifice is a foreign rite inappropriate to the worship of ha-Shem" -- instead of the (admittedly better) argument "Child sacrifice is very evil, holy crap stop sacrificing children." To be fair to them, I feel like it's at least possible that, when we're talking about an individual or society with a conscience warped enough to even think about sacrificing children, they may be too far gone for the better argument to mean anything them. If so, appealing to nationalist pride might be the only effective way to get the individual or society in question to cut that shit out. The other had to do with the closing bit about the influence of the firstborn-son-sacrifice concept in Christianity. There is no question that influence of that kind exists, especially in evangelical circles; the "penal substitution" doctrine of the atonement almost literally and directly is that. And it's not made of whole cloth. Even on the most generous interpretation, there are passages in the New Testament that permit that kind of reading (maybe they don't demand it, but they permit it). To me, this makes it rather striking that the first several centuries of Christian theology about the atonement are dominated not by this view of it, but by two other ideas: 1. The "ransom theory": this understands Christ's death, while quite real, as something almost like a "feint"; he fools Satan into snatching something he could not keep (Christ), and in so doing, losing his hold on humanity. (Why this would make Satan lose his hold on humanity doesn't always get answered, but based on what I've read, the answer often has to do with idea #2 here.) 2. The "recapitulation theory": this builds on New Testament, specifically Pauline, language that Christ is the "new Adam," and that he divinizes mankind by succeeding where the "old Adam" failed. (This second theory is imo also rather interesting in that it would seem to fulfill, of all things, the serpent's promise that by eating of the forbidden tree men would "be like God, knowing good and evil"). I admit, I'm not altogether sure what conclusion to draw from the early Church's (relative) de-emphasis of penal-substitutionary imagery/doctrine in favor of ransoming and recapitulatory imagery/doctrine. But it seems like an interesting aspect of theological history.

  1423. Thanks so much for this. Both your historical and erudite analysis, which is fantastic as always, as well as your personal account of it. I never thought of this common historical thread linking ancient and medieval antisemitism, blood libel, witch hunts, through mcarthism, modern antisemitism, all the way to satanic panic and QAnon. It really is fascinating, deplorable and frightening how those cultural memes are recycled to victimize people. Everytime I hear of stories like that I think I could very well have been swiped by a similar event. In the 90s in Brazil I was the weird nerdy kid in a small rural town, who had a homosexual mother, listened to "satanic" music, read weird stuff, played RPG, was interested in non-christian religions, had clear inadequacy, social and psychological issues. It would only take a tragedy in that town for eyes to settle on me. It chills my spine thinking about that. There were quite a few cases in Brazil were tragedies led to innocent people being arrested in the 90s in Brazil accused of satanic rituals. Usually practitioners of African diaspora religions like Umbanda or Candomblé or "weird teenagers" like me. Some famous cases like the death of Evandro Caetano or the kidnapping and murder of children in Altamira are only now being revisited and exculpatory evidence being found, thanks to the effort of some courageous journalists like Ivan Mizanzuk. Brazil is the perfect place for absurd conspiracy theories. Our social system produces plenty of marginalized people to be victimized and angry and confused people to be the perpetrators. Not 10 years ago a woman was killed by a mob in Guarujá after rumours about satanic rituals spread on social media. There wasn't even any case of disappeared children or anything. Just a rumor on WhatsApp with a picture that vaguely resembled the woman. And since we love to import whatever the worst cultural tropes the US comes up with, ultraconservative conspiracy theories and QAnon is already making strides here. Thanks again for spreading both your academic knowledge and your personal testimony. This gives us the right vaccine to imunize ourselves and those around us against those conspiracy viruses and help avoid more people to be victimized by ignorance, mystification and conspiracy theories.

  1649. So I've been working really hard lately on my programming skills, and I've begun noticing some striking similarities between the community of back-end software developers and the Kabbalistic milieu. For one thing, nested layers of complexity, like what you described in your comment about the nested sephiroth, are par for the course in both disciplines. A simple statement can be understood to reference hundreds of lines of code just like a certain key word in a Kabbalistic text is understood, by Kabbalists in the know, as a massive complex of layered meanings. Believe it or not, I've been pretty able to effectively adapt the thinking style I developed during my amateur study of Kabbalah into a basic understanding of how code works. From this perspective, a lot of the arcane text-specific references you mention as barriers to entry-level studies would be looked at by the dev community as cardinal compatibility sins. One of the stupidest things you can catch yourself doing as a programmer is designing software that only you, the developer, will ever understand. It makes it pretty much impossible for anyone else to do anything with your code, so other developers will usually ignore it and find an alternative rather than try to understand your personal vernacular. It would seem that such standards did not exist in the Kabbalistic community, but that likely has to do with the fact that, while devs are frequently seeking more devs to expand their projects, Kabbalists tend to be pretty proprietary and tight-lipped about their discoveries. While I'm still struggling to understand the reasons for that (though the Shabbatai Zevi business does shed some light on it), I think it's important to recognize that Kabbalah was not made for amateurs to pick up easily. There are layers of obfuscation which, from what I've seen, seem to be viewed as necessary deterrents to seekers who are not earnest in their desire to learn and grow.

  1844. 18:23 - After having finished watching Miniminuteman's multi-episode debunking of that netflix series and getting recommended pretty awful 'alternative histories' on youtube shorts all the time, this pause hit pretty hard for me. It's particularly depressing when you think about how the prevalence of those shorts and the existence of that netflix series are all predicated on the fact that these 'alternative facts' will always sell and some people (clearly not everyone thankfully) are more interested in making a quick buck than presenting good or reliable information. I bet half of the people peddling that stuff don't even believe it but are still disseminating that info because they gotta find some way to keep the lights on. I speak from some personal experience; I was once hired as a proofreader and corrected a bunch of scripts covering these kinds of topics. I did it. I'm not proud of it. I don't believe a word of it. I didn't like it. I felt stupider for having done it. And have avoided taking jobs like it ever since. I'm personally very sorry for having contributed for the dissemination of what's basically problematic fan-fiction and hoaxes and that's why I find it doubly important that I study stuff like this and whatever you, miniminuteman, RfB, PBS Eons, and more, have to say about the story of life, humanity, philosophy, and religion. That's why we need people like you, Doc. And why I deeply appreciate the existence of your channel and the coverage you give on these topics. Be all like 'Carry the light of knowledge as your torch and burn away the darkness of ignorance.' or what have you. Carry on, Doc Sledge, you're fighting that good fight and I'm rooting for you.

  1848. TLTR: I just gave my entire bio but the point was to show how ridiculous it is that the YouTube algorithm hasn’t introduced me to this channel until now. I guess it’s an Xmas present & I’ll be binging for days. I’m very glad to have found you! - Crys I have absolutely no idea how this is the first video I’ve been recommended. I’ve had an interest in philosophy, theology, folklore, the occult & the esoteric all my life. My mother was fascinated by human psychology and belief systems. She was also very interested in true crime, which fits into the same construct if you think about it. It’s all understanding human behavior. I spent my tween years in the public library obsessed by folklore and oddities of history and belief. I’d seen a vampire movie & got obsessed. Possibly an early manifestation of what would be revealed as ocd when I was an adult. I rented the movie (in the days of vhs stores) so many times the owner gave me a copy for my 11th birthday. My mom went all out and made me a garlic necklace, hand carved a table leg into a wooden stake with crosses burnt into it & a topped it off with a stolen vial of holy water. Needless to say she was encouraging of all my interests & she had her own esoteric library for me to explore. She was Wiccan (my dad was Catholic). I was very interested in the paranormal. I had a phase of obsession over revelations. I even worked for the international society for cryptozoology as a teenager. I had a good foundation of knowledge but it wasn’t until college that I started honing critical thinking skills. High school was a nightmare but I easily excelled in academics in college. I debated between psych & anthropology, became an archaeologist (focusing on indigenous Peoples of the Pacific Northwest & a 19th center Japanese village north of Seattle) then developed spinal problems and went back to school for history. My academic focus was medieval Europe. I wrote about the French werewolf panic , women in early Christianity & the influence of John Dee. I minored in NELC {ancient near eastern civilization} studying Sumerian, Babylonian, & Egyptian history & theology as well as the development of Abrahamic religion. I also had a second minor, a major had I done the language requirement, in Scandinavian studies studying Viking burial practices. I just realized this is long & is half my life story. I’ll leave it at this: I’m thrilled to find this channel & annoyed it took so long. Subscribing with the bell on 😀

  2544. Thank you for the video. I literally got chills during that whole "but wait, there's more" run-up to the end. I feel deeply, deeply stupid that I never made this connection before. Once you've said all this, it seems like the most obvious thing in the world. I'd made the relatively obvious connections among apocalyptic Judaism, gnosticism, and Christianity, and was familiar (not as a practitioner, of course!!!) with merkabah mysticism, and was even interested in possible genetic similarities between Pauline and Sabbatian theology as apocalyptic Judaisms (as much as I know Nathan and his messiah would hate to have that comparison made). But it never occured to me that Paul might have been a Jewish mystic. Not. Once. I even practically blamed him as the father of everything I perceived as wrong with Christianity, such as removing Jewish and mystical elements and making it soulless, and sometimes I quoted Ephrem the Syrian and saying, "Beware the poison of the Greeks" (that is, rational philosophy). Which I know, all sounds a bit insane for anyone who's actually read Paul, whom I don't think we can ever accuse of not being a deeply emotional and passionate and sincere writer and theologian, but it just goes to show that he's such a deeply complex and world-historic figure obscured by the weight of two thousand years of positive and negative opinion about him, that practically any thought can find purchase in his writings. Lately, this past year or two, I've been trying to re-engage with Paul and appreciate him more. This revelation (apocalypse? Haha) is certainly helping. Thank you again.

  2791. This video is fascinating to me as someone raised evangelical who has since converted to Catholicism (and then gotten very loose about that). I have heard hundreds of sermons about verses 6-10. The thorn in Paul's side has been interpreted as everything from heinous sin to clinical depression to closeted queerness. And the boast in question is always seen as boasting that he's saved because he has a Personal Relationship With Jesus (TM). Verses 2-4 are either skipped or given vague "isn't Paul's grammar hard" hand waving. Universal evangelical interpretation is that you will suffer because you believe in Jesus even if you're a Really Good Born-Again Christian (TM). The boasting bit gets tied to Matthew 5:5-6 where Jesus says not to pray flamboyantly and left at that. That never really made the passage make as much sense as this does. I let out a screech like a pterodactyl at the Lutheran Paul line because it's SO TRUE. I've never heard of Paul having a mystical experience (though it's obvious after thinking about it for 0.2 seconds). Not the vision on the road to Damascus, not this passage, and never the scene in Acts, which is seen as the "quiet voice of Jesus in your heart" that they teach in Sunday School. This video was like having something that's been slightly tilted my whole life getting snapped into place. Because most evangelicals can't tell you what the difference between belief in God as a fact and faith/trust is. The whole concept of being transformed by faith makes so much more sense in the context of Merkavah mysticism. (I'd be really interested by your translation/take on Romans 12:1-2--it might not be related in the Greek, but it's another place where Paul talks about being transformed through faith.) Thank you so much Dr Sledge for making excellent videos as always. Learning about Christianity so far outside the bubble of my upbringing has been immensely helpful and satisfying

  3270. Oh I love this further delving into Libraries before and beyond the famous Alexandria! I had no inkling of or nor given full thought to the more gradual perhaps disrepair or disruption of maintenance of splendor! Spoilers follow: Yeah, Hellenization of Indian Buddhist art is fascinating! 🎉 and this brings some learning for me on Jewish scrolls 📜 to what we know on the surface of books in the Jewish Bible collective. I love this inclusion of passage from Asclepius. It's edifying and recalls the draw of mystery. Yeah, Ptolemy. How fascinating this convergence of Greco-Egyptian and Judaic milieu! 🎉 whoa, Homer! Etymology, even! The relevant calculations is an awesome segment of deduction by estimation! 📜 📜 ≠ 📚 Excellent firsthand informal surveying, Justin Sledge! So you're saying there's a chance...that the truth is (scrolls are) out there! By calligraphy! How does the ink stay?? Nice nod to that flight of fancy 🎉 there! Is lingua franca anything to do with French or just common, as in frankly speaking? This is its own essential course in attaining a degree in Library keeping and records keeping! Yep, County Library! 🔥 🔥 🪜 📚 📜 📜 📜 🎻! The mass appeal power of developed myths over time prompt seeking and unveiling of actual verifiable history, like the more historically accessible battle of Thermopylae amped up and further mythologized in the entertaining jingoistic 300. Yeah, Cleopatra was a Ptolemy! Kara Cooney book, I believe! Oh wait, not egyptology. Stacy Schiff tome! 🎉 so the 🔥 perhaps increased its legend right when it was declining in prestige or maintenance? 🤔 will do check out link! Wonderful tie in to and perspective on Nag Hammadi! SPOILER: A lost Aramaic gospel?? 🎉 😮 (its own episode or short, perhaps?) 🎉 Thank you for underwriting inspiration! Including my needed hopefully sooner patronage Esoterica! 🎉 Thank you, Dr Justin Sledge for this learning that should be required to be an archivist librarian! 📚

  3413. You know, I spent like $100 on a hardcover of 'The Goetia of Dr. Rudd'. Spent a lot of time looking through and reading a lot of information I was familiar with and a lot more stuff that was more specific and a bit... pedantic? Like, I look at the body of Solomonic magic and it's like, 'yeah, I remember doing amphetamines and trying to relate astrology to quantum chromodynamics but that was like... a weekend. what the fuck is up with you, middle ages?' It was fine, I bought it from a small local shop and after I studiously wrote out the demonic summoning form-incantation(?) and said, "...this is really insulting." and then it's supposed to 'fer sure' work, but if it doesn't yada yada which will work 'fer sure' unless they're busy and then yada yada and I'm just laughing at this point because... It's just like, 'You buffon. You're literally blowing up an infernal entity's phone with this insulting shit and you go through this fucking absurd process to make sure they can't lie or trick you, even though they infamously lie and trick all of you constantly. I'd trick you too. I'm pretty sure literally fucking Yahweh would raise a bemused eyebrow at the irony before smiting you over whatever.. nerdlust power you thought you could actually just appropriate his name and tame a demon to maybe get a look at some chambermaid's calf.' So, I just gave it to my psychopath neighbor (who already had an uncircled sigil of bal on one shoulder and paimon on the other) as I decided I didn't much care for him or his very, incredibly rational atheist/ironic satanist brother and thought he'd make better use of it. I mean, it wasn't really with ill intention but at this point... I don't know how to say, it has a very 'Uncarved Block' becoming the tool he desired kind of vibe? He talked about Crowley like he was the fucking godhead, so I'd offer pretty good odds that he destroyed himself with it. I had.. intended to 'try' it, but it came at a pretty weird time and I was giving an abusive ex a third chance and I was going to let her be my second, but she got all anxious about it and I wasn't really feeling it, anyway. Not the ritual, anyay. I was born under the influence of Alphecca and did see """Ashtoret"""" that night. I caught my eyes in a mirror and stopped and felt things unwind. And then she smiled. And I said 'Hello'. The "Goetic" function of demonology is appropriated Hebrew linguistic traditions which first broadly smears together all pre-Apostolic philosophy and metaphysical thought into an undifferentiated 'barbiarian horde' then pulls from the intellectual carrion names to assign responsibility for all the sins they meticulously journaled about and compared notes on all the succubus tail they were definitely for real getting. Demons exist more broadly, of course, however while I would always caution anyone considering engaging with darker energies, I would doubly be cautious when applying Goetic techniques, as I can say with fair confidence that as a reflexive property of the... very warped perspectives that gave rise to this nightside framework are implicitly begging that entity to see if you've actually... "read the package" and understand that you're literally calling them on the 'antisemitism' phone. I can't speak for all of them and won't speak for Astarte, but I can promise she'd dick with you and most of the rest of them would, too. In fact, if they aren't fucking with you on that, that's definitely worse. People tell you not to fuck with the keys of solomon and make it sound cool. But you shouldn't fuck with them because they're shitty, makeshift keys and the door itself is kinda sus. Remember, if you have to order the demon not to lie to you, the demon is definitely lying to you and you should probably just talk to someone about the problem you're trying to resolve. {YouTube Comments are not Necromantic advice}

  3801. Fantastic! This type of speculation is what we need more of these days, I think--in absence of certainty or a trail of irrefutable proof, well-founded and informed speculation is not a bad option, and I think is infinitely preferable to "Well, we'll just never know." One can try out different possibilities, have those interrogated by others, and if flaws in those hypotheses are found, then so be it; but just sitting around and going "Nope, we'll never know so there's no point in saying more" is so gutless. Though their conclusions were often wrong, it seems that older generations of academics were more courageous in this regard. I don't see why things have changed like this over the last few generations...sure, suspicions about grand narratives and such are certainly a good thing, but come on! Aren't we sort of not doing our jobs as academics if we're not at least trying some ideas out? Scientists don't seem to be penalized for having their hypotheses be demonstrated as wrong (which is one of the benefits of the scientific method!), and yet in the social sciences, history, and humanities, it seems like people are so afraid of "being wrong" these days that caution to the point of silence has been made the requirement rather than just looking at the evidence and making a good guess. There's a double standard at work in all of this, too...in the fields that I toil in, a tiny bit of evidence has been used to make grand sweeping interpretations about things whenever they appear or are suggested; but surely, that's the very essence of confirmation bias when all bits of evidence that may be contrary to one's interpretation are ignored in order to make one's point. That was one of the things that was occasionally said to me when I was working on my dissertation, i.e. "why include these bits of evidence that may contradict the overall narrative you're trying to build?" Firstly, I wasn't trying to build an overarching narrative, I was attempting to amass as many examples as possible and make some typological classifications so that all of the grand theories could at least be questioned or problematized going forward. That confirmation bias was, in essence, being preached as "the way scholarship is done," in essence, is highly questionable, in my mind. Okay...rant over! ;) Stepping away from methodology for a moment, here's a question that is somewhat theoretical, but why not? While I have not been able to study these texts as in-depth as you have, it seems to me that both of them call for various forms of sexual purity, and even a degree of renunciation. Given their historical contexts and cultural backgrounds, that is understandable. But given that what I understand of Jewish tradition often has great respect for finding loopholes in the laws set forth, I would wonder the following: if, excluding all other forms of impurity-generating actions and exposures, seminal impurity is the issue at stake with engaging in sexual practices that might undermine one's suitability for angelic contact, then if one engaged in sexual practices that did not involve seminal impurity (i.e. non-ejaculatory practices), would those activities be possible under these two traditions' rubrics? I suspect that Aleister Crowley would have exploited such a loophole if it was feasible/allowable in the Abramelin ritual, but it just occurs to me to inquire on this. I know it isn't a popular, widespread, or even often acknowledged possibility that such practices can be done (especially in Western contexts!), and yet if it is a legitimate loophole, then it's interesting to consider what that might indicate! ;)

  3881. The blurb alone is epic, Dr Justin Sledge! 🎉 📖 📚 From his rap name Bombastus P, to your awesome mention of his break, line drawn in the sand or intellectual dispute/rap battle (collab nudge) with Ibn Sina, aka Avicenna! 🎉 Only now further discovering the man in essence that began primarily through magic practitioner author Frater Acher (whose latest esoteric book review website paralibrum's subject is Arthur Green's enthralling Guide to the Zohar, which I had wanted to further ask you, with your deeply inspiring and encouraging talk on learning the Zohar, about his Seekers of the Face, and therefore revisit your episode on the I will say the celestial Body), as well as magician author and open source practice curriculum creator Josephine McCarthy, I am enthralled to dive in! " 'Cause I Wanna be Alchemy!" - P.T. Bombastus (probably! 🎉) I will assert that: the best humour is a sense of humour! I would like to latinize that as a pseudo-Paracelsian tattoo! Macrocosm ≠ microcosm! 🌌 Arcane astronomy! As above, so below? When you know you'll hop back onto rewatch, with ✏️ 📝 ✍️ pen & paper n notes in 📓! A further philosophical underpinning for praxis! I think this moment onward 30:00 is so 🔑, with our modern view, on Alchemy. I like this guy almost as much as as I like and greatly appreciate Dr Justin Sledge, I will say the Pseudo-Paracelsus or Neo-Hermes Trismegistus! Yeah, I'm with that pushback on Luther! Thoughts abound, I wonder how this plays into epidemics and even pandemics and plagues of the time that even occurred up to the time of Alchemist Newton! I look forward to that future Esoterica episode on Paracelsian milieu that to me foresaw I'm just gonna say (SPOILER UPON SPOILER) um a Charlton Heston movie that's NOT Planet of the Apes, nor Omega Man, nor Ten Commandments, but costars an actor from the latter! Wow, that imagery is not going away anytime soon! Pretty epic culmination that only lights up the imagination and desire for learning! Waiting with bated breath, and hop onto Paracelsus episode on Sigils (with a "j")! Meanwhile, your 📚 book recommendations are a boon on top of your already epic work and video library of enthralling topics! I will must put up soon! 🍻 kudos in the meantime! ILL, archive, and your links, including invaluable treasure house sefaria, to the public go far in democratizing esoteric knowledge, I think as Paracelsus might have it! I love that frontispiece and the word! Pitchfork and torches, indeed on Brill with that note! The affront to learning! Tear down the gates! 📖 ! Thank You, Dr Justin Sledge! 🎉 🌌 📖 📚!!! (workshopping your esoteric name!) 🎉 🌟 🔭 🌳 🌲 🌴 🌌 📖 📚!!

  4385. Hey Dr. Sledge! First of all thank you for all the content, it's been very helpful especially as I've been slowly making my way more to Kabbalistic study. I'm not sure if this will reach you at all and this might be a bit of a mess of a comment but I have a few thoughts and responses as I have become a bit familiar with Bataille and his ideas from friends of mine and have a few issues I feel don't get addressed much as well about Historical Materialism as well. I should state I have sympathies to the Communist left (Specifically the Internationalist Communist Tendency and groups of that sort), and that is the perspective I'm coming to this with. I find often when Historical Materialism is discussed it is informed by the Stalinist perspective which has cast a long shadow over the last 100+ years (to the point "dialectical materialism is common reference.) I also find often that when this methodology is discussed it is also presumed that Historical materialism hasn't developed at all. With the first the Stalinist notion of Materialism is so wildly alien at times from how historical materialism operates in it's presumptions that it sometimes seems like more of a parody. (Stalin's own book on the topic introduces it with a tautology that is honestly just hilarious) In his own lifetime Marx never really considered himself breaking with Hegelian Dialectics, however I think that many historical materialists do not consider the system to be dialectical, and, I can only speak for myself on this one but I would say that HIstorical Materialism rejects Dialectics and Hegel's system by seeing Hegel as someone who shows how class society operates essentially saying the quiet part outloud and that the goal is to totally demolish the system of dialectical notions forced upon us by class society. In this sense without realizing it Marx unintentionally was on his way to a criticism of dialectics wholesale although he clearly did not notice this to some degree. The working class in this sense makes up the class that can abolish the dialectical system not out of a sense of some self-indentification such as in Hegel and the slave-master dialectic, etc, but by it's material interest of self-abolition. The next thing as for the development of Historical materialism and I will leave some links as well for those interested, one of the things I found odd but interesting about Battaille is his notion of the accursed share and sacrifice is that it is in some sense similar to the concept of Decadence. In Decadence theory we note that because of the over-abundance created by the development in mass production and the process over time which causes the tendency of the rate of profit to fall, we can see the issues of the system turn and become worse. This eventually leads to the need to cannibalize via massive world wars for example, and the restructuring of infrastructure that allows new value to be able to develop. Essentially the "sacrifice" here is the working class and existing infrastructure in favor of new value and this profit. Lastly I would say that Bataille's notion of waste to me seems very informed by one living in a capitalist society. Class Society in general often involves waste due to the nature that a ruling class must constantly sacrifice various materials, people, etc in order to remain on top. In the modern context this is especially true with the over-production being in the pursuit of profit, waste of products being in the attempt to keep profitability and thus status. This of course also hits it's highest point during wars and so on. Either way I do not disagree with Bataille per se in this sense but I would find giving it universal status in society in general is a misstep. Anyway not sure if you'll see this but if you do thank you for reading my jumbled mess I left some links if anyone wants to read on this and while I am not at all the most well versed on Bataille, his entry into my life over the last few years has been at least interesting in it's similarities and differences to my own thoughts so hopefully sharing this was interesting to someone else haha Decadence: https://www.leftcom.org/en/forum/2013-02-17/a-framework-for-the-concept-of-decadence-of-capitalism http://www.leftcom.org/en/articles/2003-12-01/for-a-definition-of-the-concept-of-decadence https://www.leftcom.org/en/articles/decadence Irrationality: https://www.marxists.org/archive/damen/1972/irrational.htm On Stalinism: https://www.leftcom.org/en/articles/2003-08-01/stalin-and-stalinism

  4786. Fun fact 1: Lebanese Christians (and some Muslims as well) still practice "neder" and use the exact same word although in a different context. Nowadays Parents "neder", "Yendour (m) tendour (f)" their children especially if they're sick to a local Saint, such as Mar (St.) Charbel , or Mar Elias or Mar Takla or the Virgin Mary, kind of like consecrating or offering that child to the Saint as if saying "He\she is yours, take good care of them, heal them". If \ when the child gets better (Thank God for doctors and modern medicine), the parents usually donate some money to a church or a shrine dedicated to these saints. Fun fact 2: roughly five thousand years later and Baal is still present in the Lebanese culture although most local people don't know it and mistakenly think the word is Arabic. To this day, we use the term "Zira'aa Baalieh" which roughly translates to Baalic agriculture, which is a rainfed agriculture that relies solely (or mostly) on rainfall for irrigating crops, Baal was the god responsible for rainwater. Fun fact 3: Up until the turn of the 20th century, Northern villages in Lebanon still spoke a mix of Syriac \ Aramaic. Fun fact 4: Lebanese language (or dialect if you will) still holds quite a lot of words from Aramaic, Syriac, Hebrew, Turkish, Persian aside from modern influences. Fun fact 5: the majority of cities, towns and villages still retain their Aramaic \ Canaanite names. I'm not a historian, I'm simply someone who is fascinated by the history of this region and the more I research (and this channel has been a treasure trove), the more I find similarities and connections and a continuation of old habits and customs and languages and I cannot help but wonder how much of this land's original heritage would've survived to this day if it weren't for the invasions of one empire after another, most impactful of which was the Arab invasion followed by the Ottoman invasion, both of which wiped out the native tongue and 'almost' wiped out the heritage, folklore & traditions of this small piece of forsaken land.

  5017. Hey, new to your channel but I’ve been working badly with enochian ever since coming across it. I even at one point played a game of enochian chess, on yes a four dimensional enochian chess board (that’s not a joke). The flashes you receive whilst playing are supposed to reveal truths. Aside from all of that, I have often like many pondered the actual composition of the enochian sessions. I mean they had all of the trappings, the tablet, board, etc. They then sat down and started the sessions, lots of I am sure miss starts, breaks, food, toilet and they did this day after day. As long con jobs go, I’m still unsure what Kelly talbot was working towards. Which is why I would be fascinated if you did a video around the counter factual aspects as they have always keenly interested me. We know dee checked some of the angelic answers against Greek, which Kelly supposedly didn’t read. We also know the angels warned dee about Kelly. We also know that these tables are complex and mistakes are made really easily. I find it hard to think that Kelly managed to have in his head or even written down, the tables, the words, the order and could then provide those an answers backwards ? That’s why I would love you to do a serious examination of what would be necessary for this to occur. By which I mean, let’s assume Kelly was on the con, what would he have had to hold on his head to be able to transmit this information ? Indeed info which it seems dee and Kelly never actually used, plus as things started very tediously the angels even slipped into an easier system. One of the favourite explanations is that this was an alien being who was able to transmit non local ideas and latched onto Kelly. I beleive there is part of the conversation where the angel says he will no longer be able to commune after a certain date. Could this be due to planetary alignment ? We’re the stars just right when they started speaking and the alien knew it had limited window ? There’s a lot to go at here, given the fact that anyone who has even a cursory look at the enochian language and tables realises it’s very very complex, non trivial and is indeed a system whatever that system is. We have been left with what magic should look like here if magic is indeed a thing. Magic should look like complex, hard work and resemble say a complex scientific document that also contains graphs, calculations, method etc. If magic is a thing, then that thing would of course resemble other complex human endeavours and this ticks that box. So a video on ideas and certainly what would have to have been true if it was all a Kelly con job would I’m sure make excellent viewing.

  5455. The Arbatel is one of my favorite works of the occult, so I'm overglad to see this pop up on your channel! Lovely stuff and extremely fascinating You mentioned Houdoo, unsure quite how to spell that, and one of my primary studies, in so much as a non-academic can be said to 'have' a study, is Pennsylvania Dutch Braucherei, which by the way I'd love to watch a video about that lovely topic if you've ever the ability and inclination. Also known as powwowing but I dislike that term and prefer not to use it for likely obvious reasons, it's a very interesting ritual tradition out of North America which bears many interesting similarities to the contents of the Arbatel, even as it lacks most of the more obviously occult bits like the glyphs and whatnot. The directionality, the timings mentioned, in particular the ethics of the text remind me greatly of it, especially the focus on magic being a cooperative action between God and the practitioner A prayer used in Braucherei that I've come to know illustrates that well in "mei Hand un dei Hand iss Gottes Hand" (my hand and your hand is god's hand) and "mei Fuuss un dei Fuuss sinn gleich" (my foot and your foot are alike) -the Red Church, Bilardi (source) There's this idea that 'trying' (Braucherei is the tradition, brauche is the verb meaning to do Braucherei upon another, this is often translated as 'trying' or 'trying for' somebody) is not the work of the Braucher upon the patient, but rather of a collaboration of the two united in God (or some higher power, opinions varied historically and presently about the nature of belief in regards to Brauche's effectiveness), that it is God performing the action not the Braucher but that both the patient and Braucher are themselves part and parcel of God and it is through this connection that the work is done, channeled through the Braucher. -Powwowing in Pennsylvania: Braucherei and the ritual of everyday life, Patrick Donmoyer (absolutely lovely text by the way, best book I've seen yet of Braucherei and extremely influential on my thinking of things around the subject. Not expensive, and high quality, would strongly recommend getting it if any reading this are interested. Good intro and goes well in depth as well) (source) note on pronunciation of Pa Dutch Pa Dutch in Pa Dutch is 'Pennsilfaanisch Deitsch' (also spelt Pennsylvaanisch Deitsch) Eastern varieties of Deitsch monophthongise 'au' such that it sounds the same as 'ah' (as if of German orthography, i.e. [a:] in the IPA) Western varieties instead monophthongise 'ei' such that it sounds the same as 'äh' (as above. [ɛ:], like 'get' but a longer vowel) I speak an eastern kind, so I'd say 'deitschi Mahs' instead of a western 'däätschi Maus' (I'd however spell it 'deitschi Maus' meaning Pa Dutch mouse) Because of this, 'Braucherei' is pronounced by myself as 'Brahcherei' as tortured as that orthography looks [bɾaːxəʼɾaɪ̯] (like brah che REI), note the stress is on the last syllable. The 'AA' of Pennsilfaanisch is pronounced as a low back rounded vowel, akin to the 'aw' of certain English dialects such as you might find in 'dawn' or 'caught' American English often has an unrounded vowel there, but it is the rounded version that is similar to the Pa Dutch 'AA' digraph [ʼpɛnsɪlʼfɒːnɪʃ Daɪ̯ʧ ] That is essentially all necessary to pronounce the bits of Pa Dutch in this comment correctly, should one already have an understanding of how to pronounce German as the orthography I use is based on that.

  5551. Justin, this is an absolute masterpiece of scholarship. I want to make a couple of points. The video rightly so begins with a perception, 2nd hand, of the mystic rites of a "pagan" belief. And this idea of practice as it can be divided between the Holy and the demonic is just nonsense. Augustine is engaging in special pleading to create heresiology. We can talk about iconography in the church, the church at one point realizing that the muslims had a point sought to get rid of all but the simplist icons in the chuch, twice, and they failed. While we could advance a number of reasons why it failed the simplist is that the iconography is part of the magick of the orthodox rites. When these icons were removed the experiential component of christian worship felt lower than with the icons. The orthodoxy created very careful wording to make it seem that people werent actually praying to idols, but this is simply special pleading. Philosophically speaking when a adherant to religion begins to bisect "us" and "them" or the ordination of some virtual space, 7th heaven or ninth layer of hell, such that there is hierarchy in accordance of some political system, then we see the promotion of individuals to divine status and their nemesis to demons. The best example i kniw of is Nabo the vizier of Marduk is promoted to go as Nabos fortunes rise. In the case of Yeshua, as his divinity is promoted so follow the saints. The problem with these systems is they dont last, very few christians kniw who Marduk and Nabo are, though they probably know Nabo Kadurri usur by some false name the Jews gave him. We have in the text of the bible what people want to believe about the past, not the actual past. We have in the doctrine of orthodoxy what people want to believe about a Nazarian, not the theology of the Nazarian. Its all conflated superstition. Second. I think that in the 13th to 16th century things in Europe were not going as desired, not only was the late medieval period marked by the black death, but also the not-so-little little ice age. It gave a chance for authorities to consolidate power and become more doctrinal. We see a systematization arising for example first and last names, concepts of marriage are solidifying and the authority of the church. As you mentioned the first university formed, there would be the tying of medicine to the collegiate system and decline of folk medicine. The priesthood becomes celebate. European society is gradually undergoing a restructuring and certain aspects once widely accepted become taboo. When we talk about religious practices i can make the point that everything is pagan in some sense, and if we use objective criteria idolatry abounds in every practice, there ample evidence of "us"-versus-"them"-ism everywhere. So the witch hunts of that period are sinply the soup du jour. I mean if we went by icons of magic, select anyone out based on their selected trinkets, images, and fetishes. When thinks start to go way bad around 1275 heading into 1315, @nd things did not improve, the baltic sea froze over in 1314, the greenland colony collapsed in 1405. You need villians to blame so you look for "thems" among you to persecute. There is a rudimentary survival mechanism at play, i mean if food production is collapsing and black death spreads in popukated areas you really dont need healers and women, you need a reduction in popukation until the system can be reworked.

  6017.  @TheEsotericaChannel  It is relatively easy compared to learning say Latin, ofcourse, but there is a definite learning curve. I'd say it's a lot like reading Middle English, or probably a little harder honestly. (I've read a bunch of Chaucer and some random poems which I'm going off) The lexical changes might be smaller for Dutch but unmarked clitics, cases instead of prepositions, latinisms and so on throw you off. It took me practice but I can read it pretty comfortably since getting into it three years ago. Unrelated side note, but I have found that Middle English is very accesible to me as someone who speaks Dutch and English fluently, even before I got into Middle Dutch and even though English is a second language. There is a lot of words with Germanic roots that were replaced by words of Latin origin, so that they are completely foreign to English speakers but are instantly recognizable cognates of Dutch or German. Hadewijch is considered the most difficult Middle Dutch material we have. 95% of what I've read on her is extracurricular. We get translations of everything with a few exceptions of fragments, for Hadewijch everything was translated. So it is considered too difficult or labour intensive to ask of undergraduates. Some of the original is still very obscure to me, and the Dutch translations don't do it complete justice so I don't imagine the English ones could. Translation is interpretation and Hadewijch is not easy to interpret. She was a very gifted stylist though, as you said, and I'm glad that comes through in translation! The original is absolutely stunning and completely otherworldly. Reading the Visions for the first time is one of my favourite literary experiences ever.

  7362. What I find most amusing about the beginning topic of this video is that people assumed all of Medieval Europe was the same, not realizing that Medieval Europe was as complex and diverse as Modern Europe today. The church is by all means not always the central of everyones' lives and their doctrines wasn't always reality. Case in point, the church condemns women of being sinful due to the sin of Eve (though Adam ate that same fruit too and he didn't became targeted as sinful) thus creating biblical laws suppressing women at a societal level. What we find in artifacts and writings is that women still held property rights and even had the right to divorce just on the bases her husband can't get it up. Also, Medieval women were expected to take over her fathers' or husbands' trading and work, especially if either of them died. Women were limited if they were a noble woman and/or royalty (this is true in all time periods and not limited to just medieval times), but if a woman were from the merchant and artisan classes she was more mobile and allowed to take up trade and have her own business (many were beer, ale and other fermented drink makers). After the black plague, we can see a rise of women involved in trading and owning businesses since there was a demand for labor due to the shortage of people. Again, by all means, the church and its doctrines wasn't always the reality of daily lives of most medieval individuals, especially those of merchant and lower classes (even peasants govern their own communities, since lords and land owners tend to let the peasants deal with the superficial things like court cases and distributes over governing land). We can only speculate based on the documents and artifacts of the time period and unfortunately the majority of those said documents and artifacts were from the church, since the clergy men were very meticulous about their archives of books and documents. Much of the average medieval person were either minimally found or not at all and we just based it on the documents found in church. 🤷I think that adds more hatred towards the church rather than being grateful that at least one group of medieval folk wanted to archive and save their history, knowing the power of knowledge, regardless what type it is or was. As always thank you for such an informative video.

  7710. Love the channel. I really enjoy the videos on the topics of Hermeticism, the Grimoires, and I think it was a PGM video that first made me a fan of your channel. Your humor is a nice touch as well. Just curious, how do you pull off implementing a marxist/communist economic system without authoritarianism and violence? How do you get the people to just give up their individual sovereignty and private property? Other than a slow indoctrination of a peoples children against their will and to muster the patience to wait a couple generations while trying to preserve their parents ignorance to prevent violent resistance ? Honest question. I respect your opinion. I'm just lost on how Marxism has become such a widespread ideology in America and what becomes of a conservative capitalist who desires to conserve the progressive achievements of the past rather than the perpetual dissection and purification of classical liberal values such as equal opportunity in favor of authoritarian "equity"? Being a Hermetist influenced by Neo-Platonism I'm familiar with the dialectic but do not agree with it's application within our culture and society as a whole. It just seems to me like a violation of the individual. I feel the application of the dialectic to be more appropriate when used to recognize the flaws in your own personal beliefs and life experiences. If you destroy everything that isn't perfect in the pursuit of perfection than you do not end up with perfection, you end up with nothing. That sounds like the apocalypse to me. Have you considered these possibilities in your adoption of Marxist ideology? PS . I'm not a fan of techno fascist corporatism either.

  8009. 16:00 made me love this channel all over again. I first discovered it when looking into the Apocryphon of John (by way of looking up Demiurge & Sophia). Since then the abundance of information has just been one of the biggest joys. To be one (as many here may be.... maybe) who loves to dive into these things but running into such issues like: how no one knows or is willing to share; how no one is "brave" (or honest) enough to not only start the conversation (because people run in their own ways) but to see it through to a non-emotional or religiously programmed or fear driven sales pitch ending but to get just the information and enough to make an informed open decision; or even to have an overwhelming amount of those who will talk to you, but only if you bow to "the grand master" or some crap, showing them a circle, triangle, and a dodecahedron while playing TOOL to the frequency of your Merkabah or some nonsense--- THIS CHANNEL IS JUST DOWNRIGHT REFRESHING. Thank you. And now, Magento??? Yes. Yes all over again. Loads of yes. I've been working on a book for years, got "inspired" back in 1997 or '98 and started then, but life being life and living being that, taking the time (because you can't make it, it's already there) to finish it hasn't happened until recently, which I'm currently working on doing. It ended up being a book made of several other books I've written (in various degrees) over the years since the first book, and it deals with some things here on this channel so you are a huge blessing. Thank you for doing this.
