How Witchcraft Skepticism produced the Lesser Key of Solomon, Modern Demonology & Psychiatry

Johann Weyer's 1563 De Praestigiis Daemonum (On the Deceptions of the Demons) would prove to be an important opening salvo for skepticism concerning the early modern Witch Trails. In it, Weyer argues that demons can only perform illusions and that the women accused of witchcraft are often suffering from "melancholia" or mental illness and should be helped rather than persecuted. In later editions, Weyer would also include a demonological text he entitled the Pseudomonarchia Daemonum ("False Kingdom of the Demons") to mock the pretensions of would-be necromancers. Ironically, this text would go on to become the foundation of the Goetia in the Lesser Key of Solomon!

The witchcraft is basically deceit, or wrongful persecution of pagans. Christianity spread Noahide Laws, it is Tikkun Olam. Yehoshua Gordan on Habad TV was reading about touching 3 year old girls and the regrowth of their hymens after being injured by an imaginary piece of wood, a lie for the juice to blame the girl and pass capital punishment on her similar to kapparot blood rituals so the juice pedo activities go unnoticed. Citing Niddah 44b and the Mishneh (Sefer Kedushah, Issurei Biah, Chapter 12, Rule 10).

The whole idea of demons and witches only being able to perform sleight of hand tricks reminds me of Umineko, a visual novel with that being a major premise. The main character has to argue with a self-proclaimed witch on how a series of murders were or weren't done with magic, with the witch having several demons carry out murders and the main character having to demonstrate how they could have been done by humans. It's a pretty fun VN, especially for fans of Agatha Christie or Dante.

I mentally told him I could see him then he made me sleep . When I woke up I couldn't physically move for ages. A couple weeks ago I was in bed + saw a floating plasma ball for a moment near the spot the alien was. I ran out to tell my bf, came back in bedroom+ saw an orb fly from that same spot across the room. I thought perhaps they were coming back again that night. I woke up through the night with ' invisible arms' around me, then was released. I've had strange hauntings and nite terrors since childhood. Sometimes held down in bed with pressure, or someone sit on the bed but no ones there. I always wondered if it was spirits or aliens. Now I think it's aliens. Tell me about your experience

I am in complete agreement that the werewolf myth is probably tied into the Indo European wolf warrior phenomenon. My working hypothesis is that some parts of the Ulfhednar wolf warrior tradition survived into the Christian era. We do know that some werewolves were said to transform themselves via a magical wolf skin belt, vs simply being cursed and becoming wolves involuntariness, which implies a holdover of some sort of animistic wolf magic practice was involved

As a Dutchman I must say that Johannes Wier might indeed not have acted out of mercy or some sense of ethics or moralism; he just really disliked the papals and katholics and attempted to undermine their influence in Europe. This would make more sense, because his original texts in Dutch hardly refer to Birks' Malleus Maleficarum (Witches Hammer), even though it's the book that stoked the fires of the Witch trials. Probably because the book was not approved by the Church, and condemning it would mean agreeing with the papists. All speculation, afcourse.

It's about time demonic possession be treated like an illness and not a crime.

Good video Dr. Sledge. Good to see the history behind the curtain with all of this. Found it equally fascinating that even science itelf in modern psychiatry doesn't escape this either. Like a bad virus, sometimes nothing escapes infection even if symptoms remain somewhat assymptomatic if you will.

Oh my gosh. So much bs in Catholic demonology. I pray one day some one would actually translate the sepher qarmaim one day before I die. Great episode. Thank you Sir. ❤

Ok then. This does put the entire Geotia story under a pile of scrutiny, really. Would be interested to see if it does have any recorded basis in any solid form before this, as most work I have seen doesn't mention it in sufficient specifics to say it is the same thing, let alone any of its content being accurate in any way to anything but this. Guy literally puts Pseudo as the first word, and it becomes the modern dictionary on the subject in all but name.

At the 17:42 mark, when you said poison. Were you thinking "kusko's poison. This poison right here. Poison specifically intended for kusko."? Lol

I mean I caaaan write a synopsis, but it’s the footnotes I’d need help with. Zed Mako’s Sinister Thoughts is a good read that seems to touch on a lot via poetry.

Weyer reminds me very much of Sir Thomas Browne, a century later.
