Black Magic : Foreword

Greeting favorite bitcoin cashers!

We all know ever heard of black magic, it is an unknown and extremely interesting world.

As a reference I want to mention that I have dedicated myself to the world of spirituality for more than 30 years, currently for personal reasons I am not active, but it is known and I know all its variants, both good and bad, ranging from the part of Angels and aromatherapy, to the dirtiest rituals and sacrifices to harm someone.

And today I come to tell you a short story about black magic.

Perhaps if I was encouraged, this is the beginning of a series of publications related to spells and enchantments, it all depends on what you decide and comment on in the section below.

So let's get down to business ...

Historical traditions in accordance with the monuments region watered by the Tigris and Euphrates how one of the points of the globe in which civilization flourished from the most remote time.

The empires of Nineveh and Babylon had already reached a high degree of power and prosperity, while three-quarters of the universe continued to be mired in their primitive barbarism.

Religion got rid, then, sooner, among the Assyrians of gross idolatry which was was his first crust, to take on a more rational and systematic form, associated with cosmological opinions and thus saw the origin of a true theology.

In Asia, the serenity of the firmament and the majesty of celestial phenomena attracted observation from the beginning, printing in deep lamination imprints.

The Assyrians saw so many other wings in the stars that they attributed influences that they had actually already been able to contrast with by the sun and the moon.

The worship of the heavenly bodies was also the religion of the pastoral populations down from the Kurdish mountains to the plains of Babylon.

The "kasdim" or Chaldeans, ended up building a priestly and wise caste that devoted itself to observing the sky, with the intention of penetrating more and more in the knowledge of the gods.

Dedicated to a daily contemplation of the sky, they managed to discover some of the origin legends.

Interesting right? Well we continue ..

in this way the temples became true observatories, such was the famous tower of Babylon, monuments consecrated to the seven planets.

A language series of observations cures the Chaldeans in possession of a theological astronomy founded on a more or less just theory of the influence of the heavenly bodies applied to events and individuals.

This science called by the Greeks "Astrology" or "Apotelesmatica", was in ancient times the title of Glory of the Chaldeans.

However, not all of them simultaneously cultivated all the branches of this science There were various orders of priests or sacred interpreters in Babylon; the "hakamin" or sages, perhaps the doctors; the "Khaetumin" or magicians, the "asaphim" or theologians, and finally the "kasdim" or astrologers proper.

So we see that Babylon had magicians and sorcerers as well as soothsayers and astrologers. It was a complete bag of wisdom, i asked what it would be like to live in those times, I think I would have enjoyed it very much and if I had a time machine I would go back to that time.

Egyptian civilization ascended to a time no less remote than Babylon. Naturalism was linked among the Egyptians to the worship of animals. The Egyptian priests organized into a powerful and respected caste, like the Greeks, possessed secrets to work wonders and amaze the people.

The knowledge of celestial phenomena formed in Egypt, as in a Caldea, an integral part of theology.the Egyptians had colleges of priests dedicated especially to the study of the stars and where Pythagoras, Platón, Eudonia and so on had gone to train.

The principles on what on which Babylonian astrology and egyptian was based, they also had a lot of analogy.These principles are consigned in sacred books whose writing was attributed to Thor or Tat, regarded as the inventor of writing later identified by the Greeks to their Hermes.

In Egypt as in Syria Referring to divine and sidereal influence.In other words, the people of this time believed a lot in those things.The Banks of the Nile were the classical land of chemistry or rather of alchemy voice derived from the Egyptian "Lem Kemi" that it is read repeatedly on hieroglyphic monuments and properly means "Black Earth".

The chimera of the philosopher's stone or of the great work must have originated in Egypt since Diocietian, by burning the alchemy books of the Egyptians, intended to deprive them of this luck, of a great source of wealth.

Gold was personified in Egypt by the goddess "Noub".

But in no people was magic more honored than among the Persians, the name comprised very good disciplines,being undoubted that among them figured "black magic".Osthanes spread it around the world in seduction of King Xerxes (yes that same one from the movie 300 that we all know). The Persians prayed as their great prophet recorded in a great number of ancient authors.

Religion at all times was associated by the Greeks with superstitious practices that derive from the magic of the first ages, very ancient times where many superstitions and traditions.

Divination was practiced in special establishments, in fateful sanctuaries called "manteion", either by soothsayers of the trade who spread their creative industry from town to town.

The sacrifices and are always accompanied by rites destined to consult the will of the gods or even true incantations.What an archaic way of thinking that human beings had in those times.

Confidence in certain magic formulas, in certain incantations, in virtue desert gestures was excessive; They resorted to them against fascination, to evoke the gods, cure illnesses, heal wounds, and divert it evil influence attributed to different acts.

The purifications how great a role they played in the liturgy Ivan always accompanied by words and practices very analogous to the incantations and said purifications they seem to have been the starting point of the mysteries.

Orpheus, its alleged founder, is credited with the composition of many "charms" so named because poetry and song were used in them.

The soothsayers enjoyed certain power over nature,the winds conjured, the snakes enchanted, the beasts of the environs of Parium and Libya, now they could metamorphose men into animals.

The belief in lycanthropy dated from very remote time in Greece where it has been perpetuated to this day.

This power attributed to diviners appears in the most ancient mythological traditions of Greece in the formulas of Medea and and Circe.

The women of Thessaly had, above all, a great reputation in the art of incantation; they were extremely skilled in the composition of poisons and could by means of their magical charms make lower the moon from the skies.

There were also charmers of a lower order: the "goetes", whose name is taken from the noisy and lugubrious cries with which they evoked the gods.

However, Greek magic did not have the irregular scholarly character of the magic of the Assyrians and the Persians, nor was it associated with the observation of the stars, unknown of the first Hellenes. His knowledge must have come from the Greeks of Asia Minor and Persia.

The Romans also knew magic, Horace does not refer to much of its operations, Ovid offers some of his formulas and recipes. Canton the censor, in his treatment of "Rerustica", mentions one against fractures.

Pliny that the Gauls had been infected with magic and that this art reigned so despotically in Great Britain that it could be believed that the Persians had taken it from there. As we can see, the ancients always had intrigues among themselves...

It also says that Tiberius urged the Gauls of magic by suppressing the Druids and other soothsayers; And he admires with a reflection worthy of note that despite of humors that distinguish one from another all the countries of the world and even when these countries do not know each other all were in agreement to cultivate magic.

Martin Del Río In his "Disquisitions" he says that the Mohammedans have been very given to spells and that during the Saracen domination in Spain magic was publicly taught in Toledo, in Seville and Salamanca.

The Christianity that silenced the oracles of the pagans failed to contain the processes of magic, in but not all the countries of Christendom have been attacked by this superstition. Magic still flourishes in the northern regions, in Iceland, in Norway and in Lapland, also exercises its empire in Lithuania and even Poland, and much is missing for its complete extinction in many other places. This is proven by the large number of daily repeated reprints of the books that perpetuate their traditions.

And in addition to this we can see daily films that deal with the aforementioned topics, there are not many from Harry Potter fiction to more serious films that are based on exorcisms of the real life.

So this has been the first of the articles that I can publish if it is to your liking, I hope you liked this excursion through the history of black magic, and that you I present comments at the end of this content.
