slowly (because I am only unevenly bilingual) reading Spanish language mainly Peruvian occult blogosphere texts today and I truly love how many times and places and cultures vibe with St. Cyprian and also how highly variable the edgy vs holy ratio of his reputation is. the only thing anyone can agree on is that he was at some point a GREAT AND POWERFUL MAGE, possibly THE GREATEST since Solomon. sometimes and places he is a HOLY MAN did you miss the SAINT part of his name/title and he PROTECTS YOU FROM WITCHCRAFT. elsewhere even having his prayer card is edgy and worthy of side eye and heaven forbid you have (one of) his Book(s). that is an EVIL WIZARD and he helps people do EVIL WIZARD shit. why are YOU tryna be an EVIL WIZARD studying under the EVILEST OF EVIL WIZARDS. and move a few hundred miles over and he's the MOST HOLY OF HOLY ANTI WITCHCRAFT SAINTS again and you would only ever light a candle of him because you are a good and pious person, helping people get un-cursed. then you move a little bit more and again it's EVIL WIZARD!! EVIL WIZARD IN THE HOUSE!
like does he hang out with Archangel Michael because they're bros for Good or is St. Michael just always on the verge of beating the shit out of him? it depends! entirely depends on who you ask and when and where and what time of day! duality of man, baaaayybeee!!
