Exotic Rites and Forbidden Conjurations!
Books on exorcism sometimes talk about the Òexotic characterÓ of medieval Catholic exorcisms, but tend to give very little in the way of details. Outside of scholarly writings, even those details are seldom known.
That is, until now.
This book contains the complete texts for several complete medieval rituals, including:
- The oldest-surviving Western exorcism manuscript.
- Conjurations against Elves and the ÒSeven SistersÓ
- ÒSolomonicÓ exorcism rites from the 15th century.
- Medieval Catholic exorcistsÕ ÒSeals of ProtectionÓ
- The ÒSeventy-Two NamesÓ of Jesus and Mary.
- Why medieval exorcists used ÒBarbarous Names.Ó
- How grimoirists perverted these rites for magic.
- Lists of demons medieval exorcists were fighting.
- A sample of even more exotic Renaissance exorcisms.
- Manuscript illustrations from several exorcism texts.
Whether youÕre an experienced exorcist or a casual reader, this book can be your gateway to a deeper knowledge of exorcism than most ever knew existed!
