Thankyou Dr Justin for all that you do. All the best :)

[@wsleppy4699]

Hey Doctor Sledge. Any chance you could look into the blurry origins of Tarot? I'd love to hear what the scholarly view on it is.

[@terraschaller1111]

I am reading in "A treatise on Cosmic Fire" by Alice Bailey pg 466 about a group ritual that needs to be "accurately" perfomed that would probably start the process of women mating with angels, on a larger scale, as to further evoulution. I think it would be a Vishnu/Dino ritual because of the nature of what the initiation process produces, where do you think i would look for it if im impatiently curious? Mithra rituals? Egyptian magic rituals? Freemason rituals were mentioned. I know you don't do her time period but when I think you'll understand why i ask, when HPBlavotsky says she is, not being dogmatic about the processes of initation, does that mean that because people come from different backgrounds genetically, racially, that initation won't have the same processes? like if an person from japan was to do this ceremony to draw down an angel, would they go through different steps then say an mormon, or an arabic person, etc? Cats/dogs/octopus/ants/spiders all have different ratios or something for transmutation? I know we would only be working with those that are already spiritually inclined, but just wondering. And because some peoples havent produced fruit, like mormon, would it just be easier, or would it look like a differnt thing then say someone that is written in the bible that has? any clue where i would find that kind of knowledge? On page 487 are the ratios to the Deo sigil of Solomons, ($MILE) (so you can live as a gollum more comfortably and not tun windigo after initiation, or fail and fall from bet to just a Christ after fasting for 8 days and only eating two so you can write the book) mentioned in this video. Are you seeing any variation in the letters/words on the outside of the various copies of that sigil? Thank you Doctor Sledge for all your great content and scholastic work.

[@terraschaller1111]

Im looking at the sigil right now, and I know that an angel represents a day when fasting, im wondering if it would be an hour or a mile if i was walking., the burning of the internal fires, are what we are trying to stoke for it to be counted as half an angel. Hmmm... It's a sun,,a day, so i wonder if its the amount of time daily, which doesn't account for intensity of work out. I'm sure of the first two ratios at least just not the units. fasting a whole day is easy to count, it just a turn. Never even, never odd.

[@terraschaller1111]

maybe its E=MC squared? i need to experiment with units. everything is measured in light it puts out so we can grow a field. would primary source books have more light then secondary sources written by most people? probably. but what about evil peoples books, would they have less fire, or if they go from good to evil would their fire in their causal body chamge the rating of their books? or would stuff that they right from the point they turned evil forward have a lesser fire?

[@darthknight1]

If I spent 70 days performing a ritual, I'm sure I'd finally start seeing things too.

[@TheSunship777]

Sensationalism

[@nasonguy]

I have zero doubt in my mind that after all of that preparation, fasting, meditation, ceremony, props, and all around psychological priming that these people would absolutely have extremely vivid dreams/visions.

[@BushMaster420circle]

so if people also see these vivid images during rituals, what would you say for that? without any of these needed things

[@stephanieann9770]

If people have reoccurring themes in their hallucinations then it is worth analyzing

[@njdyhnjdt]

[@stickmatt4735]

For me, its just a bowl of ice cream before bed to have dreams with demons n angels. Now that im older its more demons than angels.

[@MrDalisclock]

This reminds me of the Yom Kipper video where he talks about how the Chief Priest of the Jerusalem Temple had to fast and avoid sleep for an extended period to be pure enough to enter the Holy of Holies and offer a prayer to God who while burning incense.Which I guess made it easier to talk to god

[@thomaslunger1485]

I like how you said magic used to be encouraged, I believe in magic still to this day and the Bible holds accounts of many magical acts taken place by those god had appointed. Thanks for the informative upload!

@@rockk9753 I don't believe in stuff like this, I'm just interested in obscure knowledge.

[@WTfire10]

@@rockk9753 but I'm interested, what do you hope to achieve by performing such rituals, if you don't mind me asking.

[@WTfire10]

@@rockk9753 I am quite open minded actually, but you understand especially in esoteric topics one needs to be extremely sceptic as lots of people claim lots of things, which are not verifyable. I've yet to experience anything supernatural, which couldn't be explained through coincidence or randomness. I believe you can probably have real spiritual experiences doing such rituals, but I've yet to see any documentation which proofs, that they also happen outside of ones concious or subconcious mind. Can you elaborate a bit more what exactly you have done? You don't have to answer if this is too personal. Furthermore why would you want to see demons in the first place? Why wouldn't you rather try to find god or helpful entities, instead of literal evil?

[@WTfire10]

@@rockk9753So why are you still looking into such topics, if you had such bad experiences? One thing is for sure, trying to actively do wrong upon people poisons your own mind, even if you might have had valid reasons. Anyways thanks for the information. It's good you found something positive out of this situation and I wish you that you find peace with God.

[@josephhpeterson5768]

Engaging and excellent content as always Dr. Sledge! Thanks for the shout-out to my edition and translation. Wow - I’m an O.G now? Haha. Note: In my forthcoming 3rd edition of John Dee’s Mysteriorum Libri Quinque I argue that Dee probably also owned Sloane 3854. Also, my edition + translation of Liber Trium Animarum is available in print at a very reasonable price.

[@TheEsotericaChannel]

You are one of the real OGs, and I appreciate you deeply. Please link your editions as you like! Many thanks for your work!

[@ArtyFartyBart]

Might that be short for 'Original Goës'?

[@sorguinazia]

Where is the best place to support your work?

[@TheSilentPrince-mt5mx]

I just visited the link for the online notes accompanying your translation of the _Liber Juratus Honorii_ and although I've read very little of the text found the introduction (ending 'whoever copies this sacred text without permission from the editor will be damned') very entertaining. I'll add your works to the ever lengthening list of books that I want to read, if not in this lifetime then in some subsequent one (it's a long list!).

[@terraschaller1111]

I'm doing initiation work and I'm wondering if my ratios for using the Deo sigil are correct? I used Ibn Arabi, "Openings revealed at MAkkah" and page 487 in "Treatise on Cosmic Fire" by ALice Bailey for figuring out the purification ratios.. A kingdom is 8, the beginning and the end are both Kindeness, so its a week long tABLE. Fasting is one turn of an angel a day, exercise is 1/2 an angel per mile/hour? 1/3 the third i think is reading/studying and fourth is praying. I think. ??? I know I can wake at night and it considered gambling, because the sun might not be there, and i have to wake up before sunrise to keep any of the gambling accumulated for sunlight. What do you think about any of this?

[@Night-lh9xj]

[@Cesaryeyo]

What I love the most about collaborations between Dr. Sledge and Dr. Pucca is that they're like mirror images of each other. Dr. Sledge has this appearance of being serious and sober, but makes jokes all the time, while Dr. Pucca looks like a run of the mill bubbly friendly goth, but has a very well studied academic.approach to the topics she deals with. It seems like one channel is all serious study and the other all campy fun but in reality both have a lot of both

[@theeccentrictripper3863]

In a dream? I want my money back Honorius! I'm fascinated by these bridge-like texts that not only reach out in their own time in many directions but also act as conduits for older traditions, seeing both the corruption and innovation in motion through the ages reveals more than the rituals themselves. The more we can fill in the manner, method, and motivations of the transmission of traditions the cleaner the image we'll be able to produce, so it's good to hear it's become a topic of interest.

[@nasonguy]

Honestly makes sense. After weeks of priming your psyche I have no doubt that these people had very vivid dreams.

Rumi Missabu aka James Bartlett of The Cockettes just passed away a week or so ago, and while reading his obituary in The New York Times, I saw that his adopted names were mentioned. He loved Rumi and admitted that was where his first name came from, but the article claimed his friends were clueless about the provenance of Missabu. And so was I, until I saw Missabu listed as one of the aerial spirits of the Moon in a snippet from one of the Sworn Book manuscripts that you included here. Now I must let those Cockettes I’m friends with know the story. Thank you as always for your amazing work, Justin, and may Rumi sail with the Moon forever.

I would just like to say, that having been raised in an...let's say... EXTREMELY CONSERVATIVE environment, it came as some shock to me that the "true name" consists of 73 words in total, and that they just shortened it by using the first letter of each of the 73 WORDS to make a name with 73 LETTERS. The stuff I didn't get taught is so freaking interesting.

It’s fun that an early/mid stage of inducing a beatific vision is asking the angels if you should proceed. That gives it a neat escape hatch in that if you don’t actually wind up having the vision, people can shrug and say, “Ehhhhh I guess you just didn’t listen to the angels.“ In any case, whether it’s 40 days or 72 days, this all seems like so much more worry and bother than a nice cup of shroom tea. 😁
