This is one of the channels that I will put a thumbs up on before I've even seen the video. Esoterica is another.

[autumnhomer]

🎀Esoterica recommended this channel that is why I’m here.🎀

[LunDruid]

I love grimoires. Just the entire image and idea of old musty texts full of secret magical knowledge, mysterious symbols, and written in ancient languages, it's all just so cool to me.

[charlottesimonin]

As many times in the past, your presentation was an excellent complement of Dr Sledge's discussion of the Liber Juratus.🔮

[scottcarpenter]

Dr. Angela, all I can say is WOW! You encapsulated so much information about the current Grimoire Traditionalism movement that the casual viewer may not grasp or appreciate. Though I have chosen to focus on the Book of Abramelin as my particular vehicle for connection with divine, you very accurately summarize my personal viewpoint on commercialization of esoteric traditions and the pitfalls of undiscerning eclecticism. This was an amazingly dense and insightful examination of an evolving field in practical occultism. I commend you for your ongoing efforts to shine an academic light on very current developments in this field of study.

[StoneChickenImagica]

love to see traditions evolving! great point about the commercialization of spirituality, too.

Excellent as usual Dr. Puca. Love the "more Latin, less dancing" line. Loved the Japanese stuff you did not long ago. Thanks!

[jbaquinones]

Luscious Lady with a fierce intellect thank you Angela🙏

[kirstencorby]

🔮 Very interesting, I have not heard of this book before.

[J_Z]

Thank you Dr. Puca! I wasn't terribly familiar with this work before your & Justin's videos. You both are excellent scholarly communicators!

[TheLikesofMee]

I could listen to you speak forever and then some. ❤

[davieboy]

🔮 Always glad to see you tag team with Esoterica.

[phillipbernhardt-house]

🔮Very interesting and well-made video! Thanks, as always, Dr. Puca, for your excellent work!

I wonder: is there evidence for people like Crowley using the Sworn Book directly, or at least being familiar with it? I wonder if he took the fact that there are 93 sections to one part of it as a kind of confirmation of the importance of that number for Thelema, apart from how he derived it himself.

🔮"...more Latin, and less dancing..."

I can't help but feel that the happy medium (whether the balance point between two things, or a content practitioner of spirit possession!) would involve equal parts of Latin and dancing. ;)

🔮"...a witch at a pool party..."

Did you ever attend PantheaCon when it still existed? There were lots of witches there, no small number of parties, and a pool where all three could end up intersecting. Interesting times!
