Thank you Joe Peterson as always! You will go down in history along with Skinner as one of the authorities of historical Esoteric texts. I was thinking of Robert Turner the other day and thought man, in 400 years there will probably be people studying and reprinting your translations, like they do with Robert Turner who is still being reprinted today. It's wild to think about.

Hello dear Joseph Peterson! I'm not sure how else to contact you which is why I'm writing here.

Have you ever looked into The Black Pullet grimoire? There is such little information I'm simply confused and I'm wondering on your opinion.

Things I've collected:

-Treasure of The Old Man of The Pyramids (Treasures) is a later version of Black Pullet
-Treasures contains additional instructions not found in Black Pullet
-Black Pullet claims it was "translated from the language of the Magi and the hieroglyphs", Treasures claims to be translated from Arabic
-Treasures was being sold by Bloquel (the person who also sold GV, etc)
-The only source materials we have for both of these texts are in French
-There are absolutely no traditional Power names used in the text, no Abrahamic references or anything similar
-Hebrew does appear in the sigils and the word "Iehova", but only in the sigils
-All the Spirit names are completely unique, the text doesn't use any traditional Spirit names or traditional hierarchies
-The Familiar Spirit's name, even though he is present almost always during the text, is only revealed at the end of the text (it's not highlighted as a "reveal" but it is implied as it never was said once before)
-Latin is used in the sigils
-People in the text seem to "break character" a few times, saying very obviously out of character phrases, it's deliberate maybe to hint at something else
-2 prayers are written which again, aren't specifically made for the Abrahamic God

We don't have any track record of any people working with this magic or any people using these spirits. There aren't any other manuscripts separate from these two that describe working with specifically these spirits.

Spencer Lewis has mentioned it in his "An Encyclopaedia of Occultism" but he did not add any new information.

What is your personal opinion? Do you believe it might just be a hoax? Thank you so much for reading.

Peterson, you talk of wine but yet we ought to be purified on those 9-10 days, i'm a bit confused here, can you elaborate more on that ''wine/alcohol'' in the circle? Thanks for the videos! Very informative.
