The most current scholarship on Solomonic sigils and characters backs this history. We keep discovering that strings of symbols - for example those found on the Knives and Wands - are actually corrupted letters, very often some combination of YHVH, Elohim, and Zabaoth.

I’ve just discovered your channel and it is sublime! Your content is incredible. My best wishes to you :)

Your intro does an amazing job of capturing your tone, by the way!

Absolutely loved this presentation, never thought of a correlation between an Ankh and the ringlets on sigils or other sigil like symbols! That totally changed my view of the subject! Amazing job once again!

God damn the quality of this video is incredible, this is such interesting content for a beginner like me, amazing !

First, I LOVE your channel! Great content--and I love your dry wit. Second, every time I see magical writing with ringlet terminals, I laugh because that's exactly how the sorority girls at my college would write on poster board signs with magic markers. There was even a satirical article in the college newspaper that described a terrible affliction known as Scripto-Sororia, that compelled its victims to write in that manner. So every time I see those symbols, I remember ditzy sorority girls trying to recruit members during pledge week. (Now I have to wonder if they weren't secretly doing magic ... )

Definitely one of the best channels for esoteric and occult info. I love the work you do, sir, keep it up!

This is one of your best lectures so far. Very interesting and plausible hypothesis about the origin of the "sigils of art". And yes, when certain scolars remove what they do not understand, it is an error.

i've been looking for information about karakteres forever :) thanks for the awesome videos!

Wonderful stuff! Thanks for making your videos, I just found your channel and it’s full of great stuff!

I just found your channel a few days ago and I love it! I learn so much with every video. Thank you for your work 🙏 😊

Love your channel. Thanks for your video’s and all the great work you are doing.

Your channel is brilliant. Thank you!

Once again, another great video!

What an excellent youTube channel with full of ancient knowledge 😍😍❤❤ . Immediately Subscribed

been binging shatter and your content. continues to be a splendid time

i accidentally found your channel while i was looking for info on esoteric of jewish mysticism i love your way on how you use words and compare mysticism and philosophy

The way the terminator ends were used reminds me of how my culture, Circassian, has symbols we used called Damighas which helped distinguish things we owned or families we belonged to. My Damigha once had a T shaped top when we worshipped Tha, it became a cross when my ancestors became Christian and then a O circle when they became Muslim!

That tiny Sephir Raziel is so COOL! I want one 🤩.

I use sigils on my candle magick a lot. They truly make a huge difference at the collective force of the ritual. Vodun and Lukumi (aka Santeria) uses their own sigils as well. They open paths and connections to the spirits to send the SOS message. Rituals and sigils are important to the spirit world. They make sure the intentions are clear. This is also to avoid anything that can get you into trouble. Symbols are important to other realms outside of our own. You also don't want to open portals that should not be opened or bring in spirits that don't belong. This video is fantastic and much needed, especially those of us who practice religions that use sigils as part of our practices. Knowledge is a must!!! It isn't just do it... one must know first to avoid complications. Your videos help me understand my Lukumi, Santeria, religion better. Thank you.

Excellent background and historical information.

Like the "Sefer Raziel," Johann George Hohman's "Long Lost Friend" (Pennsylvania Dutch braucherei tradition) purports to be a meta-amulet. Are you aware of any other esoteric, magical, or occult texts which are viewed in the same way?

Thank you! This was presented very concisely and packed with information. First video I have watched of yours and you have a subscriber! 👍

Greetings from Dubai! Amazing channel. Keep it up!

Great Chanel Dr Sledge excellent content

Love this channel

Hello Dr. Sledge, I hope you are well. I recently had my spiritual awakening & yesterday decided to study the Kabbalah. I came directly to your page because your present this & all information you share in an entertaining yet comprehensive manner that a “layman” like myself can understand, unlike with the Bible text (for me). I want to thank you for the wisdom you’ve share & the knowledge you’ve given me. 💟🕉️☯️ Love•Light•Liberation

I thank you sir for sharing your knowledge with me this is such a fascinating subject

what great content!

Thank you for the channel.

I've gotta listen to this again!

7:33 Please tell me I'm not the only one that sees a dude with a gnarly shirt skateboarding into the back of an angry cobra that just swallowed his chihuahua

This is very interesting!

I love your videos, but I was wondering if you could throw more dates more often, so I can keep it straight when I’m listening (I’m not brilliant 😂). Much appreciate all the info you present, thank you 🙏

You've just earned yourself a new subscriber. I find things esoteric to be quite fascinating. May the Light within you shine ever so brightly! Blessings🙏

Do you think that the terminators may have been to deactivate the sigil/symbol? The old mages were a superstitious bunch.

Whoaa I am shook. I had no idea. Thank you!!! I wish I could translate the symbols I wrote. So cool.

The part of the video where you addressed the egyptian roots has got me thinking. It would be interesting to see a video or series on esoteric symbolism in America. Like the washington monument, all seeing eye etc. I have heard the origin stories of some of these things but it would be very interesting to hear your perspective especially.

Just FYI, at around 9:36, the text points out the cross terminus being on the far left, when it is on the viewer's right.

Excellent ✅

thank you 🙏🏽

This is great.

awh yeah, good stuff as usual.

Merci beaucoup

I always got the impression that those little rings at the ends and joints in the symbols were stars. Like as a way of connecting them to the Astral Powers. But I guess no one explains it, huh?

I wonder if the cross terminator may reflect Varangian influence in the Byzantine context - it does look an awful lot like runic staves.

this reminds me of a very important question i had years ago, so as we all know theres a connection between magic practices in this region, ancient egytpian, greek jwish arabic etc one can easily notice similarities between the practices, but how about magic in other parts of the world that are isolated, like for example the americas, how and what was magic like in that region, imagine if there are similarities with the way its practiced even though it was isolated from the rest of the world, i'm extremely curious about this subject, damn it i wish i havent remembered.

Thank you

You are a God send

A couple of the symbols were used by Minton for date cyphers for their 19th century production of porcelain, majolica and stoneware. *EDIT:* way more than a couple.

What is the page behind you on the table? It has the divine name Eyeh, and what looks like a hand with an eye, beneath the letters. The combination of those things seems interesting. Curious if you discuss that page anywhere in particular. And thanks for your great broadcasts!

Are those pieces for a Go board on your table? Go is one of the best games I have ever played.

Wow!

Please do Trithemius, Steganographia!

I just happened to click on this video and recognized you from your talk with T-jump a few weeks ago

I'm naming my metal band Ringlet Terminators

Did these practices get norse influence as well? The one on the right at 9:27is rather reminiscent of a rune that is basically a charm for good luck during travels

The hourglass (hyperboloid) mark found on a black widow spider? Seventh row down, second of the right, "Seals for planets and days of the week from the Munich Necromancers Manual". Looks like the rune Dagaz of the Elder Futhark, only upright. There must be historical data for this mark? Please, guidance would be sooo appreciated

🦜request, can you do an episode on magical hats? ...the golden calendar hats, etc.

I have to ask...what does the head-shaped weight at the end of your watch fob represent?

Sigils are projections (a circle is a 2d projection of a sphere) of higher-dimensions entities/elements, i.e. things that exist beyond time, maybe like evil, the concept of discovery, brotherhood/alliance, civilization, mathematics. Very delicate stuff. Thank you for all your dedication Dr Sledge! Huge fan.

These are really great videos, thank you. I have an off topic question. What is that bowl of white things next to you on the table?

A meric A is a good example- it can be interpreted as "house of crime"... a hybrid mix of occultism.

so what are the white and black stones and athame for?

True wisdom

Hope this makes sense. I like the imagination art and music make, it's a matrix of magical symbolism.

Is it possible that Glagolitic script was inspired or influenced by these magic symbols?

First time I heard about Transitus Fluvii was in the film white enamel… not sure why it stuck subconsciously.

Many thanks. Do you where a small copy for a more talismanic purpose you can but Sefer raziel?

where might I purchase that tiny little book?

Does the protective amulet from the movie Constantine show up in history or was it made up for the movie?

The proliferation of ringlets on sigils always reminds me of the contemporary Thai script. I'm sure there's no direct link, unless...

wonder if the circles weren't a way of transferring the powers of the heavens, the sun and stars, which are light orbs/circles, to the characters in a sort of power by association, to give the characters the powers of the heavens/gods/planets and stars sort of thing

At 11:02 Could someone give me the correct spelling for the word. The transcript has it spelled automata, and phonetically spelling the word yields no search results.

how come the ringlets aren't the same when they could be? is that just flair or have other meaning?

Fascinating,as the real usage of hyerogliphs becomes lost,they become magical symbols in a phonetically based society. Possibly, I am just throwing thoughts here.

The headless one drawing with the ankh looks like a character from Adventure Time.

8:45 Some of the symbols on the right look like sheet-music notation symbols.

So, creating my very own symbols gives it more power then recruiting symbols that have been over changed. But, what drinks do I put more power into my symbols?

👍 _!!_

The terminating loops refer to a conventional way of drawing star constellations

Dr Sledge, also,with egyptian and greco.roman syncretism, came the union of a phonetic world witb a pictographic world, it would seem a logical derivation the appearance of symbolism borne out of that union. Just a thought. Man am I a fan hahahahhahaha

Thinking how a lot of Hebrew letters have "a little yod" in similar positions to the ringlets - you know like shin has a "little yod" at the top of each upright.... I wonder if this could possibly be the origin of the ringlets.

May I ask what the fountain is called in the beginning of the video?

You play Go?

Wish I could be your student sir

hey whats a "terminator" and i can see ringlets...but what are they exactly or how can i find to deine these finer details..a book or something...i try google...i dont talk or ask people about these things...google dont like to share at all these things whats terminator and purpus of 0lets???

I Love SIGIL'S AND BIND RUNE'S, and Everything from the ARS GOETIA as well as my Fav, The Pert Em Rhu, or The Book of the Dead (Egyptian, not Tibetan)

6:26 Now that's art, almost as good as my 3 year old. My son's a prodigy really

What is religious technology?

Hi Justin, what would be a short list of legitimate magic books you could provide us with?

Mini sepher raziel.. Where do i get one?

Daisy Taylor wears an Ankh.

I would love to sit down and play a game of Go and have a conversation with you

Greeks Romzns and Jews all predated, from different angles and at different times, the Egypt And none of the 3 have ever admitted it

The cryptic alphabet.

you are the best you don't have any prejudice or discriminatory, i like your open view you don't use we jew only words your teaching is so clear very helpful i watch and rewatch your video bravo

I do not believe in MAGIC but love listening about it. 🤔😉

Curious if Jehovah or יהוה‎ are spelled out or mentioned. Is there a symbol for that name in these designs?
