MALLEUS MALEFICARUM
[Notes on ..the Witches Hammer]
A very important weapon for witches: VENEFICIA!-ancient secret knowledge of poisons.Bull of Innocent VIII prefaced Malleus Maleficarum.The Devil and demons can cause disease,but can't permanently.Can miraculously cure{2 Thess. 2:9,10}, but again not permanently.the authors quote Deuteronomy 18:10-13 and Leviticus 19:31and 20:6 defending Divine condemnation of Witchcraft where real injury and harm are done by OCCULT means...e.g.interference SEXUALLY (causing inability to procreate or consumate a marriage).Devil and demons can INTERRUPT proper sexual union.Authors recommend death penalty for divination!-Pharoah's priests could turn their rods into serpents too!-Ignorance of God's law is no excuse.Distinction is made between willful and inadvertant SIN-Scribes and Pharisees versus Saul of Tarsus.They mention Job's Adversities as proof that Devil and demons can cause calamity without the aid of witches.{frequent references are made by authors to "st. Augustine's",`City of God'.The apostle Peter's resurrecting Tabitha ,and on the other hand ,cursing Ananias and Sapphira demonstrated powerful good works!Authors enumerate 4 kinds of punishment:beneficial,hurtful,wrought by witchcraft,and natural.
Author admits that adversity happens only if God permits it!
There are 3 kinds of divination:necromancy,astrology and oneiromancy.Harm may be wrought by witches thru images,casting spells,and writing mystic characters.Witches powers are governed by the Stars-times and seasons.(for a complete definition of incubi:source book-"Demoniality",by Sinistrari-Fortune Press 1927[mentions Nephilim in passing].Incubi and Sucubi are dichotomized as Satirs,Fauns,Pan nymphs.Can Adversary read our hearts? Demons are preoccupied with human private parts:receive semen for witchcraft purposes!Authors mention Asmodeus as the chief demon of fornication!
Did witchcraft originate with the stars? and if so, to what degree? They reject reading horoscopes and refutes "luck". There are 3 causes in MAN:act of the will;act of the intellect and act of the body! Emits power of suggestion.They list the inanimate objects that attract and repel demons.Also herbs effect music on us cyclically..e.g. David's playing harp to soothe king Saul's mental torment.Surveys good (i.e Esther,Deborah,Judith,Ruth) and bad (Jezebel,Delilah,Athaliah,Salome) qualities in Women.Authors examine women's vulnerability to demon influence{wife of Potiphar}.They make frequent references to Greek philosophers;they cite Bible prolifically.Treatise is interwoven with pagan philosophy.
The authors frequently cite the dire aspects of ingesting SEMEN for WITCHCRAFT purposes.;they allude to subconscious apparitions in dreams.This suggests demon programming -mind control! The significance of dreams is well documented [Joel 2:28-32].They cite Job's trial and quote James1:14,15.;episode of Dinah and Schechem;Ammon and Tamar's incest is also mentioned.The Apostle Paul's.."angel of Satan that keeps slapping him..":carnal lust?
Devil can keep people from `connecting';moreover ,can interrupt erection and conception thus can cast spells to prevent copulation.In Middle Ages,if a marriage wasn't consummated within 3 years{due to witchcraft}it was therefore annulled.
5 POWERS OF SATAN TO DELUDE:Trickery;Camouflage and Confusion;Deception(1 Corinth 11:5) ;It obscures our Sight or Perception;Facade and subvert our senses.Witches can heal as well as afflict with disease.The authors claim that God allows witches more influence over SEXUAL matters.They validate powers of Pharoah's magicians.Demons can perform a percentage of miracles-even nowadays!.."lying signs and portents"(2 Thess 2:7)-alluding to the AntiChrist.also can cause miscarriages.
3 NECESSARY THINGS FOR EFFECTING WITCHCRAFT: the Devil ,the Witch ,and Divine Permission.my pet peeve:the authors claim that the Virgin Mary was SINLESS!...further, that an Omnipotent God created sin and imperfection.Ambiguity:.."if men were prevented from sinning ,many steps to perfection would be removed."Witches deny Christ impaled.def:HERESY-Apostasy from the Faith-in this witches sin their entire lives!..e.g...`Solomon showed reverence to "gods" of wives.'Death of David's firstborn son by Bathsheba-Divine punishment.cites the Sins of David's census,Achan's greed, and Gibeah! Authors quote the Apocrypha a great deal.e.g.apostle Paul's "thorn in the flesh"was an affliction "to keep us humble"!
DIVINATION:
1st Form:[open invocation of the Demons]..Sorcery;Oneiromancy;Necromancy;Oracles;Geomancy;Hydromancy;Aeromancy;Pyromancy;Soothsaying.
2nd Form:Horoscopy;Haraspicy;Augury;Observation of Omens;Cheiromancy;Spalutomancy.
3rd Form:classified Sortilege(hidden)..since done by sorcery , the authors question whether the conjuring up of "Samuel's" spirit by the witch of Endor was divinely sanctioned? Necromancy-demons masquerading as deceased persons.Oneiromancy-seeking omens thru dreams..origin of revelation? Of course holy Angels reveal God's will in dreams and visions...Cheiromancy..e.g. Palm reading; and Girl with `spirit of divination' in Acts that apostle Paul expelled.Authors understood issue of Jehovah's universal sovereignty and God's permission of wickedness,succinctly.Vindication:defeat of Satan and demons.cites Ephesians 6:11-18..our need for distinct spiritual armour to endure victoriously against the Adversary and its seed.
5 SIGNS OF DIVINE WILL
Precept,Prohibtion,Advice,Operation,and Permission."Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven";whether adversity,calamity ,sickness due to fate or witchcraft,(authors' astute,well meaning-written over 400 years prior to advent of New Jerusalem-thus their knowledge is imcomplete.They cite episode of Balaam(Numbers 23)-how occult can be used to hinder Divine will ,but of course in this case it BACKFIRED!!! Regrettably, authors defend dogma of Trinity...Office of Exorcism.Elect protected from witchcraft by their Angels.[which also render them chaste]."With angels' help can come and remain TRUE eunuchs.Astrology influence?;the `stars' influence decision making.
3 METHODS BY WHICH WITCHES SUBVERT INNOCENCE
1.Succumbing to those who cause material loss..this is relieved by compromise of integrity! 2.Cohabiting with the Devil incarnate! 3.Bitterness due to poverty and depression;also unrequited LOVE
Spells are cast and objects are arranged to render impotent-can be destroyed.witches cooking and eating infants.They relate how devil and demons have "astute "scriptural knowledge."Daniel" 14:32-38..Habakuk is carried by `good' angel to bring food to Daniel from Judea to Babylon(episode to substantiate `flying'...broomsticks are also employed...14 species of superstition.Mentions Nephilim..how spirit creatures can alter natural cycle..e.g.sun stopped for Joshua and the pall at Christs' impalement;sun moved backward for Hezekiah??? Regrettably, they claim that original sin was SEX relations(pg.118)Sex organs and act predominate as the objects of witchcraft.Source.."History of Witchcraft-Holy Writ"-the witch has astute scriptural knowledge.
God and the Adversary can turn inanimate into animate objects and vice versa! (Exodus 7)and pagan reference Ulyssses;also `mirage' in Nebuchadnezzar's eating grass for 7 years(prestidigitatory). Although miracles of divine origin are to be faith strengthening,those of occult origin allude to the Antichrist
3 WAYS TO DISCERN ORIGIN OF MIRACLES
1.Divine power:raising the Dead;in reality,the Devil and demons can NOT duplicate.2.Utility-Divine beneficial -healing.Adversary ;supernatural,`Flying.'3.Divine-faith strengthening.Devil's `miracles' are designed to undermine and destroy genuine faith in God and Christ.also who performs the miracles;Gods' motives are beneficial ,Satan the devils,' detrimental. (2 Thessalonians...lying signs and portents).
The difference between a `WONDER' and a miracle -4 conditions:1.Divine origin 2.Beyond natural conception 3.Manifest 4.Corroboration of Faith-motivation.Witchcraft is lacking in 1 & 4.
Devil preaches to hearers and NOT doers of God's will[to offend Jehovah]..explains demon possession..e.g..king Saul.In the episode in Matthew where the Apostles were unable to expel the demon from the boy that was repeatedly thrown to the ground;Christ explained that.. that particular type could only be expelled through ardent PRAYER!...nonetheless,the Serpent and its Seed strive to interfere with our prayers and THINKING ABILILTY (so we must perservere Romans 12:12)..."bent woman".Luke 13,lunatic-Matthew 17;witches can cause epilepsy ,leprosy? (pg. 47) alludes that as soon as the number-144,000- of the Elect is complete...destruction of the world ensues! Erroneously,authors claim that the "Blessed Virgin" bruised the serpent's head (Genesis 3:15)..compares Exodus 20 to Ezekiel 18? Can witchcraft spells be dispelled by further witchcaft?,,does satan cast out satan?..Initially king Saul was zealous of ridding Israel of witchcraft,yet later after proving treacherous{summarily rejected by God},he sought the Witch of Endor's counsel.[only patially cured of sorcery].Authors claim..." Abraham cured Abimelech of impotence by praying?"
def of Philocaption:inordinate love of one person for another.Authors cite Dinah and Schechem in Genesis and James 1:14,15.Also Amnon and Tamar's incest was of demon origin. Referring to 2 Corinthians 12, they claim that Paul's `thorn in the flesh.David's playing the harp quelled Saul's bad spirit (only temporarily.!
Authors cite Tobias(apocrypal book):..touching the heart and liver of a fish to dispell;they acknowledge that the demons can possess inanimate objects to cause calamity to human victims.They nullify hierarchical exorcisms!Thru ardent prayer[citing Matt17 and Mark 9]and faith in the ransom sacrifice of Jesus Christ - resultant efficacy in expelling the demons! Was Solomon following the dieties of his foreign wives superficially,while at the same time being theocratic ??? are Heretics and Apostates different? witches are the latter.That is why witches are punished by civil and not by ecclesiastical court.
5 conditions for heresy
1.Error in reasoning 2.error in matters concerning Faith 3.error in respect to catholicism 4.partial rejection of Othodoxy 5.persistence in Error..."heresy is a form of infidelity".Simony is not viewed as heresy.A person who obstinately defends false doctrine is ,of course deemed heretic.Witches are punished by civil courts because of the injuries they inflict.
WITCHCRAFT TRIALS
Witnesses..how many...bias???...Lex Taliones! Evidence must be corroborated.Definite guilt or innocence MUST be established.3 ways:accused preached heresy publicly(populus generally afraid of).Evidence from 2 or 3 witness(scriptural);or self confession(despite denial).According to authors,Witches should be taken in custody without being allowed to touch one foot to the ground before being BURNED ???...this causes them to lose power to keep silent under examination. Names of witnesses are to be made public only if they're not in danger of repercussions.An advocate is to be allowed when requested by the accused;but said advocate is not to know the names of witnesses.Only if he's zealous for justice that divulgence may be made in secret!
4 ways that witches can be convicted
1.Witness 2.Direct evidence of Fact 3.Indirect evidence of Fact 4.Her own confession.Only the accused MORTAL enemies are barred from giving incriminating evidence.Sentence of Death only after confession??? witches are known for silence under examination.bound by satan's power.It is concluded that it's more difficult to get the truth out of a witch than to exorcize demons.On the other hand it's conceded that many would confess truth if death penalty was'nt the resultant.Witches are known for taciturn silence under interrogation..."they can't shed tears"..even while being tortured! Sign of guilt alluded to John 15:22..relapse prevention?...[Proverbs 26:11..2Peter 2:22] refer to `saint' Augustine. In the following,3 types of sentences:interlocutory,definitive,and perceptive.
Sentencing
1.No grounds for condemnation:completely absolved-avoid relapse
2.Public defamation for the accused;must produce people to defend her good character!! relapse avoidance is to be emphasized.
3.Bacause of inconsistencies,there's the EXTREME PENALTY for the RELAPSED HERETIC ..."as also against imperial laws which decreed that witches are to be burned...";there are 3 degrees of suspicion of witchcraft:light,strong,and grave!
Sincerely repentant ones are to be clothed in grey-blue "monks" attire with yellow crosses-must place hands on `Holy Gospels .;if `truly 'repentant -life imprisonment;sustenance will be Bread and Water! ref:1 Kings 22:27; Relapsed Heretics are to be burnt (after manipulation into confession.[key point]..clergy are NOT to inform victim of such consequence of confession !..of course they will realize the treachery when they're handed over to the secular authorities! Still the clergy deem it imperative that the accused are not to anticipate their demise..."though they're TRULY REPENTANT of relapse!
`Lawful' removal of witchcraft spells...such person is termed a `good' Christian.If they remain excommunicated for a year,thence branded `heretic'.Those who remove spells superstitiously,are also deemed heretic! Can appeal to the Hierarchy,even the Pope if necessary;this Treatise is devoted to the HERESY OF WITCHES
