Finally, a person who talks about magical history objectively, not as someone trying to pull me into their cult. I'm just here to listen to the stories and you do that with style. Thank you for your work.

I almost scrolled past you because you had a rabbi/preacher look and I thought this would be another “stay away “ lesson. Man am I a judgemental pos. You are scholarly and awesome- and you know your stuff. So pleased after endless scrolling for information and being disappointed that I ran into you! Thank you. You, sir, are amazeballs.

You're more "boss" than any magical blade used to endow a ring with power! I swear, your channel is a true blessing for someone, like me, who's too poor to study this material at university. ❤

Dr. Sledge, I discovered your channel a couple of months ago and let me say that I so much appreciate your videos. Legitimate factual information about esoteric topics seems to be very hard to come by. I was thinking about this earlier today: channels like this with the more scholarly and "boring" (heavy quotations) tend to have a smaller, but overall more grateful fan base than the more "entertaining" (heavy quotations again) channels. We may not be the biggest fan base in the world, but we are eternally grateful for your extensive research and knowledge. Thank you Dr. Sledge!

The planetary seals/magic symbols on these books always look super interesting to me, and I'm glad you made a whole video on those back in the day. I enjoyed this one a lot!

I absolutely love all of your content, and I love your strive to creating accessible free content in occult, and Esoteric history! I have so much respect for you.

Dr Sledge, you and a few others (Angela Puca and Foolish Fish among them) have inspired me to begin to plan to get a Master's Degree in Western Esotericism at the University of Amsterdam. This will depend on my husband and me being able to retire in Amsterdam - we are in the US right now. Wish me luck, and thank you for all you do

Thank you for your kind words, Dr Sledge!

You the best

SO glad I found your page as I am on a new journey of learning. Thank you for these excellent discussions into these traditions and texts.

I recently read the Testament of Solomon, written, most likely, sometime during the 2nd century A.D. It reveals much about where the later medieval ideas for Solomonic magic came from.

Dr Sledge, you make solitude spirituality more bearable. Thankyou for sharing your knowledge.

“It’s a living text.” You never cease with these straight bangers of videos. I get excited every time I see a new one, thanks for all you do.

As usual, wonderful video! Thank you for your service to make esoteric texts available for our enlightenment!

The effort you put into these videos are timeless! Keep up the great work.

Yes 🙌🏾 this is a much anticipated episode!

Missed you posting the last week. I always look forward to your vids, Justin. You are much appreciated.

I've been fascinated with the subject since youth. Thank you, as always!

The “hella syncretism” line cracked me up haha, but on a serious note these videos are extremely informative while keeping still pretty short and sweet, giving a lot of great starting points to dive deeper. Thanks man

The content of your videos is so informative, and your sense of humor makes them so entertaining as well! You’re killin’ me!

Sir, please continue posting your lessons on youtube the world needs this knowledge you are settingtjem free!!!

When it comes to getting your monies worth watching a video there is no better value on all of KZfaq than right here. You are legit getting scholarly grade quality knowledge here in a digestible form that you would have to pay for a whole college tuition to even come close to getting it elsewhere. If anybody deserves a patreon donation or super thanks its this man right here. Thanks again as always Doc for your hard work.

your channel is the absolute best esoteric resource!! Thank you for everything :)

We live in pretty surreal and lucky times to not have to dedicate lifetime of study and research and accessibility alone is a huge benefit. A solomonic manuscript found in the 14th century mansion hidden in the walls of a dead Spanish nobleman turned into a more simplified system of talismanic-card and board system with ruhaniyat conjuration repetition is one of the many tools one can acquire on the internet,let alone things like abramelin squares , what a time to be alive.

Dr Sledge, I stumbled upon your channel about a year ago, and amazed by the well of knowledge you've been sharing. Thank you for the quality content and humorous delivery. Love from Hong Kong.

I really need to do more experiments with this. Thank you for your effective examination as usual

Knowing me if I cast a protective circle the entities will sneak into it behind me and then I'm stuck with them.

This channel is like very fine wine , a pleasure

your channel is the absolute best

Thank you once again, Dr. Sledge. You’re breadth of knowledge and sense of humor keep me.. spellbound. I almost laughed out loud when you mentioned the whole Saving Throw to stave of poverty thing! But it was the “moisture” content implied that made me understand the Cloud Presence I saw across the Northern Horizon on Easter Eve Evening right around Sunset. My impression was that it was Solomon, but now I’m sure it was he. He looked nearly like the image in this text.. oddly.. but his robes and beard were luminous, as if made from the palest rainbow’s Light.. which optically speaking was already well beyond the “traditional” optics, but his face was quite kind, and his arms were outstretched. I think you used the term “aeromancy” in a previous lecture about the sins punishable as witchcraft by the medieval Catholic Church. I used to say somewhat jokingly that if I’d been born 600 years ago, I’d have been burned at the stake… but the older I get, the more convinced I am that it’s true! But seriously. You’re standing there watching the clouds at sunset and the entire sky is enveloped with Scenes that could only be painted by God or those who have both the vision to see and the skills to reproduce such things… and I have only the eyes. How can I Not Look? It seems to me, it would be Rude towards my Heavenly Sponsors who have taken the opportunity and time to Paint these Divine Vistas… how can that be sin? Idk. I’m just the one who’s watching.. and I’m praying.. but I’m also trying to understand. It’s tough being a creature seeing well beyond my current pay grade… but it’s a heckuva View! Thanks, Doc! Happy Easter, from my house to yours!🦋 Blessings!🤗

I appreciate you leaving book recommendations at the end of your videos so much!!!

The episode I’ve been waiting for!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 SERIously!! Solomon magic is the most epic wizardry. Take it as thou wilt. I can’t think of anyone else that can do this justice. Cheers with a virtual glass of mead

Great work Doctor you are very aspirational for all who have absolutely no idea… Thank you.

I love learning about Solomon! There's also the "greater" keys of Solomon. I read both when I was younger. It was cool.

Your videos are the absolute best. Your presentation and detailed information are excellent. Thank you!!

Dr. Sledge, your deadpan humor presentation is great!

Dr J, Im now coming for one of your Esoterica shirts, hope lots of Sydney siders ask me about it. This channel is special 🌺

I have just found your channel and i'm already loving it ! .. I even have a copy of Albert Pikes book of the same name, Esoterika, which cost me £100 and can not be read online .. full respect with your research, it can be exhausting getting through all of these books.

As a fan of Solomonic Demonology and medieval grimoires, I absolutely loved this video. Thank you so much.

Fascinating! Very well presented, Dr.

Yay. I've been wondering whos behind these awesome videos for a while. Much love and thank you for the knowledge

Dude I love your channel. This is the kind of content I'm here for.

El Maestro, Dr. Sledge! A cornucopia of occult and esoteric information! Always sending love and light! 🤘😸

Solomon has always astounded me! Thankyou

I love this channel. You are appreciated!

Dr. Gracias por su contenido, saludos desde El Salvador, Centro América 😊 no puedo dejar de ver sus videos, gracias por todo el esfuerzo y conocimiento que comparte con nosotros. ¡Un abrazo!

I love your work, man. Tysm for your videos

Great job, per usual Dr Sledge 👏😊

An absolutely fascinating channel and always great content

King Solomon magick hits hard ,talismans are some of best passive benefits to experience on continual basis.

Thank you for your generosity in teaching us!

I love your content. Some of the best videos on the internet

I just happened to read The three Magical Books of Solomon because i saw it in the local university library last week. this is exactly what i need to help make sense of this stuff. this episode answers many questions that were burning on my mind and i really appreciate your perspective on how the text is "living" and to be used as a working manual. its really beyond me why these ancient magicians put so much effort into figuring out which talisman to use at which hour on which day for whatever spell but, regardless, they've given me a lot really fun reads! thank you, Dr. Sledge.

I've only been subscribed to your channel for a few weeks now and I absolutely love your content and presentation. The fact that I get just about all of your little jokes and asides is good, the odd one or two that I don't get just gives me something to research to find out what the funny is. Keep up the great work!

This content is so interesting! Thank you.

Thank you so very much Dr C.M. sledge! I found this video very informative

I didn't have Dr Sledge saying "hella" at 14:02 on my bingo card haha. Great work!

I was just thinking yesterday I wanted to watch a video by you about this very subject.

Love the channel and all your content. Top notch

Thanks for all your work.

Thank you Dr. Sledge. I can't afford to contribute currently, but rest assured paying it forward is high on my priority list. In the mean time please accept my heartfelt gratitude.

You are so important. And your knowledge is priceless.

Excellently presented .

Was waiting for this one.. 👍🏻🍿

Good to see this revealed.there are nobody that I know of that talked on this subject.thank you

I wish I could have a conversation with you and your colleagues in person…no one around me has any love for occult academia💔 so watching this was really wonderful for me. Oh, to have like-minded peers to ponder with. Thank you.

This is such a great show! I have shared it with my family of Kabbalists! ❤🎉

amazing excellent content. I will share this channel link to my circle

Always a pleasure doc

The great thing about Magico-folk Traditions, even in a modern ceremonial context, is that it's so diverse and almost all aspects can be interchanged or augmented. So, what is the true Magic? The Operator. As we see in many cultures spanning thousands of years there are so many Magical formularies and operations that as long as there is a sense made from of by the operator things can come of the work, most of the time. There are some things that are absolutely meaningless and bunk, but just as poetry if there is a meaning in the formula, there can be meaning derived therefrom to bring about desired change. Such as the subtle red string tied around the finger, or carrying hidden seals of protection. Magic is real and works. Even if only on a subtle level.

wow, the new intro! it looks and feels amazing! :D

I’m so glad I just stumbled across your content. It’s so difficult to find people with any knowledge on these subjects who don’t romanticize it. Amazing video! You’ve got a new subscriber

I've been excited for this one ^_^

Wow, I asked for it and here it is. Thanks

Very informative as usual!

The D&D references make me giggle every time 😂 (thank you so much for your amazing videos!)

Love your content, thank you🙏

Just discovered your channel and I got to say as a philosophical pagan I quite enjoy every video I've seen so far.

Thank you Dr. Sledgehammer keep rocking these educational videos you are amazing. Such a wonderful academic resource for everyone your one of the fathers of a new era in making academic occult studies available to all. You are in your field what Agrippa was in his!

This channel is amazing

Great video! Wonderful channel

Dr. Sledge, have you done a video about Voynich manuscript ? Thank you for the great content.

@3:38 It’s cool to see that the Angelic language from the Nier series has its roots in a real esoteric alphabet. I didn’t know the name for it until now, thank you!

Another amazing video

All new to me and very interesting.

Baruch HaShem Justin thank you for all you do

I love you schtick information man, good video

Another fascinating video. I came for the history of alchemy but stayed for the arcane history!

Im a muslim and i have a sheikh who practice a hikmah (wisdom) medication to people and has knowledge of arabic letter mystery+ some sort of its mathematical formula. He teach his students to send prayer (beside of to prophet muhammad pbuh and his shahabah) to prophet sulaiman as and to what we believe one his knowledgeable official person, asif bin barkhiya. Just an fyi

I'm so glad I found this channel (or that it found me)
