On Medieval Lapidaries, Magic Stones, and Hermetic Talismans [Interview with Vajra Regan]

[@Cholatemilk1]

You've carved a lapidary in my heart dan

[@TheModernHermeticist]

🥺👉👈

[@SavannahShepherd669]

Amazing so after 50 years we'll have her work 😊 I can't wait

[@SobekLOTFC]

Keep up the great work, Dan 👏

[@TheModernHermeticist]

Thanks Jason!

[@G555-i3c]

Encouragement is a good thing, but it is clear that Dan is addicted to doing great work

TMH. Thank you for yet another outstanding show. Two observations. First, every educator has a mode of communication which is best for them. Some educators do not limit themselves to what is best, but also utilize communication methods not entirely suited to them. This is unfortunate. Second, although I have been a fan of your content for a long time, this is the first time I recall having ventured to read the comments. Allow me, therefore, in the spirit of Uncle Setnakt, to convey *my profound sorrow.* Anyway, although you will almost certainly never see this, thanks again. You always bring home the esoteric bacon. Mashallah.

[@TheModernHermeticist]

Thanks Wulfnesthead, I read most comments, but my ability to engage with them all is limited. I appreciate the sorrow you express. I often feel it too when I read any youtube comment sections (mine or otherwise).

I would say so, my grandmother is some kind of fey, a knitting, chubby, baking midget from a family of crafty, lucky midgets.

Thank you very much for this. Shared. Also, I hope one day you will make a video or have a talk with someone on Lodovico/Ludovico Lazzarelli.

[@scottydees2748]

Good stuff!

[@Bildgesmythe]

Wonderful! Thank you

[@Super1d3go]

I met a great grandson of Bal Shem Tov once, and you said that name it gave me chills. Did not enjoy

[@markdpricemusic1574]

A literally wonder-full conversation ! Many thanks to you both for this. Great to hear empirically responsible research on early medico-theology and science. If you wish to guard your work more closely I can sell you some amulets - Ward off plagiarists 950 GBP - Banish Foucauldians 600 GBP Protection from superstition 13, 700 GBP. Very much looking forwards to hearing and reading more of your work.

[@ewadsworth]

Thank you!!

[@VampireSquirrel]

Where do you find Latin critical editions of things?

[@TheModernHermeticist]

Depends on what it is but either academic library, or you may get lucky using something like scihub or libgen

[@timnizle1]

[@CelestialShaman44]

I feel like a young mage 🪄💥🚀

[@rabbithole9555]

Hi I'm an ..ESOTERIC HERMETICIST,.. it's my "religion" or rather my path and way of life. I am intiated and accepted by Nature and Animals ect & flow with it all within. It is Awesome and Amazing. *Anyway do you have any videos or know of easiest books of hermetics where others are like me and not just talking about this as simply historical fiction and over most people's heads and disbelieved? Im into the Arabic .. Egyptian based knowledge of the Truth, BC. Familiar with most other belief systems and other religions too. Any help and advice would be great. ✌️💚🌞⚜️🦅⚖️🦉🗝️🦋

[@zacharycurrie3708]

It's grue! The picatrix is referring to grue!

[@ShawneenBear]

Grue like olive leaves in the fall, like rushing creeks too wide to hurdle...Grue like eastern serpentine

[@jakemcnamee9417]

I want to hear about rocks . I want to make something with lapidary knowledge .

[@astraeusgodofthestars676]

That's why I became Pagan after practicing astrological magic. The true belief is the belief in the seven wandering stars ✨

[@jakemcnamee9417]

Do you think the stars are the gods bodies, or bodies that the gods rule over ? I am curious to why the king of the gods is ruled by Jupiter, but the largest is the Sun, ruled by helios or apollo. I would like to understand more as I'm curious what your perspective is .

[@JohnDoe-qz4nm]

Where can I find these books or online information of the pages? Something ppl don't realize is if the gift tof majic isn't given to you by the stars you can't harness it's powers

[@NevisYsbryd]

Ohhey, I recently made my first one! I engraved a banded jasper whetstone under the recent Mars cazimi in Scorpio. I have two more elections coming up soon, though, so still plenty pertinent.

[@LaurenaLaCroix]
