Angels & Demons

"We are so alone in this world, that even angels and demons have taken to dining together"

During the Renaissance, one of the most famous followers of occultism was Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa von Nettesheim (1486-1535), a pupil of Johannes Trithemius (1462-1516). He was extremely keen on mathematics and well versed in all the other sciences. He spent his time studying the written works of both old and contemporary scholars, so that he could perfect his own philosophical system, which was mainly based on believing in the dark forces and paying them the due respect.

He had taken in a female student who unfortunately lacked her master's wisdom. One day while the great man was out, the student took advantage of the situation to gain access to his study. She happened to notice a large book lying on a lectern. She opened it and started leafing through the pages (the pages were apparently made from human skin). She was so engrossed in the book that she failed to realise that she was no longer alone in the study. After a while, she looked up from the book and almost fainted: standing before her was a demon - or maybe the Devil himself. He angrily asked her why she had dared to disturb him. Petrified and clueless as to what she should answer, the student merely mumbled while nervously swallowing the saliva that had gathered in her mouth. The demon pounced on her and brutally strangled her to show humans just how dangerous it is to play around with the mysteries locked in such books.
From that day on, Agrippa was very careful not to take on any more students.

Do you still want to practice the ancient magic arts, in spite of this tragic story?
Do you want to know the different duties of the angels and demons?
Do you want to know which ones to summon according to the day and hour?

Then enter the Light!
