Necromancy Spell
Necromancy is calling up apparitions of the dead for the purpose of
divination and obtaining knowledge, it was considered one of the Black
Arts....nowadays the old, complicated systems are gone, but necromancy still
exists with us today in forms that few would recognize as being related to
past designation. Spiritualism, planchettes, divination boards are actually
the counterparts of the old rituals; less complicated, and much more
pleasant to use as shall be seen from the spell shown. The Red Dragon,
published in 1822, purported to give detailed instructions for the control
of spirits and demons. the following spell taken from that book is given in
all its essential details, but with changes from the archaic spelling and
terminology.
The Spell.........
the operator must help at a christmas mass at midnight . when the host is
raised, he says softly, "Exurgent mortui et odme vurient" (the dead rise and
come to me). at this point, he was to leave the churchyard, stop at the
first gravestone, and say; "Infernal Powers, you who carry disturbance into
the universe leave your somber habitation, and render yourself to the place
beyond the Styx River
thee, in the name of the King of Kings, to let this person appear at that
hour i choose".
Then the necromancer takes a handful of dirt and casts it about, saying,
"May he who is dust wake from his sleep. May he step out of his dust and
answer to my demands which I make in the name of the Father of all men".
Dropping to one knee, he faces east until sunrise, at which time he gathers
two human bones and holds them like a cross. Carrying the bones, he leaves
the graveyard, and throws the two bones into the first church he comes to.
Then, walking northward exactly fifty nine hundred steps, he lies on the
ground, hands on legs, eyes turned towards the moon, and summons the dead by
saying, "Ego sum, te peto et videre quero". The spectre arrives and is
questioned. After the questioning, it is dismissed by saying, "Return to
the Kingdom of the chosen. I am happy about your being here". The operator
returns to the first gravestone he stopped at, and traces a cross on it with
his left hand. The book ends the spell with the warning that every detail
must be followed exactly, or harm will befall the operator.
Voodoo Coffin Spell
.......................Voodoo folklore
The Legend:
Before a miniature coffin was sent to an intended victim, it was consecrated
in the trinity patrons of the Voodoo sorcerors. The trinity was made up of
Maitre-Carrefour, Lord of the Crossroads and Demons; Grand Bois, Master of
Night Earth and Night Forests
Cemeteries. Upon being consecrated, the coffin became a 'wanga', or magick
charm which was sent on an expedition. It is one of the most feared of
Voodoo practices since believers feel it invokes the aid of the dead against
the living. The words of consecration are as follows:
Zo wan-we sobadi sobo kalisso
Maitre-Carrefour, mwe mem
kiriminel
M'a remesye loa-yo
Grand Bois, l'uvri baye mwe
baron-Cemetiere, l'envoi
morts
Black Coffin Spell
.......................Southern Voodoo folklore
The Legend:
A death spell was supposed to be cast if a small black coffin was placed on
another's doorstep. It would usually contain a tiny doll pierced with pins,
and a burnt piece of black candle would be set at each end. The coffin
would be from two to three inches long, and could be made from wax, clay,
wood, metal, or any material capable of being shaped in the required form.
This spell was indigenous to the southern part of the United States
differed from the coffin spell used in the West Indies wherefrom it was most
likely derived (see above) One of the basic differences between American
and the Caribbean Voodoo is the latter's supplication to the loa in most
spells; either by spoken invocation or other actions.
Wormwood Spell
.................Ancient and medieval folklore
The legend: The wormwood know as artemesia took its name from Artemis, wife
of Mausalos, and has long been used in rituals to bring forth spirits of the
dead and friends of the underworld. In such a ritual the wormwood is
burned like an incense. Often it was put in a cone of black paper which was
lit at the bottom. This was done only at night. As the fumes arose, the
name or names of the deceased were spoken aloud and asked to make known
their presence. Wormwood was used with many spells of necromancy. It was
also burned by some during use of a pendulum or planchette. It is an herb
under the sign of Mars.
