:: Entrego mi sangre y mi alma al dios de la locura para invocar el silencio de la noche, la oscuridad y la calma del vacío; entrego mi semilla al infinito descarnado por el poder de renacer entre las cenizas, por la eternidad del conocimiento sin ataduras; el camino espera, el destino está en el sueño de la razón y la verdad... :: . . . #devonkentao #theotherside #exilio #autoexilio #hechizo #spell #hechiceria #witchcraft #brujeria #brujería #magia #magicspells #magic #sorcery #mago #brujo #hechicero #nigromante #nigromancia #nigromancy (en Mexico City, Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck17d_2jlf6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Nigromancy in the Later Middle Ages

The struggle of the early modern church against witchcraft is rightly famous. However, before they were hunting woman flying on broomsticks to nocturnal orgies, church authorities were most concerned about a very different sort of magic: nigromancy...

Dantalion is yet another awesome Daemon to work with :).

“The Seventy-first Spirit is Dantalion. She is a Duke Great and Mighty, appearing in the Form of a human with many Countenances, all Men’s and Women’s Faces; and she hath a Book in her right hand. Her office is to teach all Arts and Sciences unto any; and to declare the secret counsel of any one; for she knoweth the thoughts of all Men and Women, and can change them at her will. She can cause Love, and show the Similitude of any person, and show the same by a vision, let them be in what part of the world they will. She governeth 36 Legions of Spirits...”

The Goetia/Lemegeton also goes on about how Dantalion’s seal is to be worn.  She is not listed in the Pseudomonarachia Daemonium though.

Dog Days 2018

This week we had again another “hottest day of the year”. Since June, most of Europe experiences a near ceaseless heat and drought period. These hot days of summer are also referred to as “Dog Days” (Hundstage) and this year they live up to their name.

The Greek called them kynádes hēmérai, Romans adopted it, calling them dies caniculares. Historically the period began with the heliacal rising of the dog star Sirius (actually a star system) in the Northern Hemisphere, which Greek and Roman astrology connected with heat, drought, sudden thunderstorms, lethargy, fever, mad dogs, and bad luck, while to the Polynesians in the Southern Hemisphere the star marked winter and was an important reference for their navigation around the Pacific Ocean.

For my “Dog Days” incense I took inspiration from the paralyzing and deadly weather phenomenon.

The formula has been updated, with field eryngo (Eryngium campestre) being added to the baneful blend. In German language this type of thistle is also referred to as “Unruh” and “Elend” and the occurrence of clusters of broken off stems, similar to spiky tumbleweed carried forth by the wind, are named “Steppenhexen”. This stingy plant is almost impossible to touch or harvest without hurting yourself. Yet, and despite the heat and drought, it is frequented by dozens of bumblebees and other pollinators.

Beside obvious herbal references to the the dog/wolf totem, such as wolfsbane and mandrake, the incense contains also black and white henbane, which have been used in prophecy, baneful spells but also for rain magic. I burnt a good amount of it on this day, both to cleanse and bless a dog skull I found at the flea market, as well as to call for rain and cooling. It may have been simply good timing, but rain came the following morning.

I am often asked about side effects and dangers of burning venific incense blends – I can only speak for myself, I did not notice anything, apart from feeling more focused and empowered. I also sensed a relaxing effect on myself. A slight dizziness I attest to the burning sun and heat, not to the herbs.

Luckily, the worst heat seems to be over now and I look forward to enjoying the end of summer and working on art.
