Roots of WitchcraftThe history of witch is soaked in the legend, hidden in antiquity. There are few written sources, and those which exist are generally obscure, of an oblique nature, throwing the light on rather than to inform directly. For example, the Italian knowledge of witch presents to us with the following history of creation: In the beginning the great darkness, Diana, were divided into two equal and forces, night and day opposite. The night was reigned more from Diana itself like the moon, the day by its alter ego and the brother, Lucifer, the sun. Diana, since the moon never continues the sun through the sky, became enamouré of her brother the sun and allured him in the shape of her cat of pet. The offspring of this union was a girl, Aradia or Herodias, the archetypal “misadventure” or patroness of all the witches. In this legend of Diana with her gnostic features, there are the reflexions of the cabalistic tradition of Naamah, the seductress of the angel fallen Azael. Naamah, is synonymous with Babylonian Lilith, and Azael is not any other than Babylonian Shamash, Sun-God in his aspect of hells like lord of richness and craftsman of metals. In fact it is the alter ego of Tubal Caïn itself, the proper brother of Naamah. Azael or Azazel, is in fact one of the gods of the modern witch. What brings to me at the bottom of the problem. According to the ancient magic legend, Azael was in the beginning one of these beings of paramount fire, the first inhabitants created in the raised sky, indicated by the Christian church as messengers, or angels, by the Greeks under the name of demons. Azael and its disciples, according to old man's knowledge, in demolished their Masters, selected to go down on the ground innumerable eras ago, in order to inform and to civilize the primitive man like there then existed. If this belonged to their original plan or simply of a side question, these beings angelica, “sons of God” or “observers of the skies,” because they were authorized, elected with the companion with the womankind. The book of the genesis briefly records the legend thus: And it came to pass, when the men started to multiply on the face of the ground, and of the girls were constant with them, that the sons of God saw the girls of the men who they were right, and they took wives of all what they chose…. However, the ancient book of Noah writes several hundred years before the birth of Christ is more explicit: … And the angels, the children of the sky, saw and coveted after them [girls of the men] and indicated one to the other: “Come to leave us choose wives of among the children of the men and children generate us”… and all others together took with themselves wives, and each one chose for one, and they started to go inside to them and to be ravelled with them, and they taught charms and magic spells to them, and the cutting of the roots, and makes their briefings of the factories… And Azazel [Azael] taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields, and drill plates, and makes known with them metals [of the ground] and art to work them… Semjaza taught magic spells, and cuttings of root, Armed-ROS the resolution of the magic spells, the astrology of Baraqijel, Kokabel the constellations, Ezeqeel the knowledge of the clouds [to know of time], of Araqiel the signs of the ground [agriculture], of Shamsiel the signs of the sun, Sariel the course of the moon… according to this collection of knowing cabalistic antique, Zohar, large Azael and its troops had had to assume the real bodies in order to go down on the ground. Because of their revolt against a Higher Authority and ties with this world which they had formed later, they could not be deprived of these material forms and still go up in marvellous spaces. |
