Cockatrice
A cockatrice is a mythical beast, essentially a two-legged dragon, wyvern, or snake, serpent-like creature with a rooster's head. Described by Laurence Breiner as "an ornament in the drama and poetry of the Elizabethans", it was featured prominently in English thought and myth for centuries. They are created by a chicken egg hatched by a toad or snake. Legend Origins The first English mention of the cockatrice was in the 14th-century John Wycliffe translation of the Bible. The word was used for the translation of various Hebrew words for asp and adder in the Book of Isaiah Isaiah 11, 11, Isaiah 14, 14 and Isaiah 59, 59. The ''Oxford English Dictionary'' gives a derivation from Old French , from medieval Latin , a translation of the Greek , meaning tracker. The twelfth-century legend was based on a reference in ''Pliny's Natural History'' that the ichneumon lay in wait for the crocodile to open its jaws for the ''Trochilus (crocodile bird), trochilus'' bird to enter and pick its ...

Welcome To Demon School! Iruma-kun
A welcome is a kind of greeting designed to introduce a person to a new place or situation, and to make them feel at ease. The term can similarly be used to describe the feeling of being accepted on the part of the new person. Overview In some contexts, a welcome is extended to a stranger to an area or a household. "The concept of welcoming the stranger means intentionally building into the interaction those factors that make others feel that they belong, that they matter, and that you want to get to know them". It is also noted, however, that " many community settings, being welcoming is viewed as in conflict with ensuring safety. Thus, welcoming becomes somewhat self-limited: 'We will be welcoming unless you do something unsafe'". Different cultures have their own traditional forms of welcome, and a variety of different practices can go into an effort to welcome: Indications that visitors are welcome can occur at different levels. For example, a welcome sign, at the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Elias Ashmole
Elias Ashmole (23 May 1617 – 18 May 1692) was an English antiquary, politician, officer of arms, astrologer, freemason and student of alchemy. Ashmole supported the royalist side during the English Civil War, and at the restoration of Charles II he was rewarded with several lucrative offices. Ashmole was an antiquary with a strong Baconian leaning towards the study of nature. His library reflected his intellectual outlook, including works on English history, law, numismatics, chorography, alchemy, astrology, astronomy and botany. Although he was one of the founding Fellows of the Royal Society, a key institution in the development of experimental science, his interests were antiquarian and mystical as well as scientific. He was an early freemason, although the extent of his involvement and commitment is unclear. Throughout his life he was an avid collector of curiosities and other artefacts. Many of these he acquired from the traveller, botanist and collector John Tradesca ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Shemhamphorasch
''Shem HaMephorash'' ( ''Šēm hamMəfōrāš'', also ''Shem ha-Mephorash''), meaning "the explicit name", was originally a Tannaitic term for the Tetragrammaton. In Kabbalah, it may refer to a name of God composed of either 4, 12, 22, 42, or 72 letters (or triads of letters), the latter version being the most common. Early sources, from the Mishnah to the Geonim, only use "Shem haMephorash" to refer to the four-letter Tetragrammaton. 12- and 42-letter names In addition to the Shem haMephorash, b. Qiddushin 72a describes a 12-letter name and a 42-letter name. The medievals debate whether the 12-letter name is a mundane euphemism, unknown, YHVH-EHYH-ADNY (יהוה אהיה אדני), or YHVH-YHVH-YHVH (יהוה יהוה יהוה). Wilhelm Bacher and Adolphe Franck suggest that the 12-letter name was '' Chokmah- Tevunah- Da'at'' (חכמה תבונה דעת), but the doctrine of the Sefirot originated in the 13th century, roughly a thousand years after the 12-letter name w ...

Thomas Rudd
Thomas Rudd (c.1583–1656) was an English military engineer and mathematician. Life The eldest son of Thomas Rudd of Higham Ferrers, Northamptonshire, he was born in 1583 or 1584. He served during his earlier years as a military engineer in the Low Countries. On 10 July 1627, King Charles I appointed him ‘chief engineer of all castles, forts, and fortifications within Wales,’ at a salary of £240 per annum. Subsequently, he was appointed the King's principal engineer for fortifications, and in 1635 he visited Portsmouth in this capacity to settle a question between the governor and the admiralty as to the removal of some naval buildings which interfered with proposed fortifications. In 1638, he visited Guernsey and Jersey at the request of the governors, Charles Danvers, Earl of Danby and Sir Thomas Jermyn, to survey the castles on those islands and report upon them to the board of ordnance. In February of the following year, Rudd petitioned the board of ordnance for ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lucifuge Rofocale
''The Grand Grimoire'', also known as ''Le Dragon Rouge'' or ''The Red Dragon'', is a black magic goetic grimoire. Different editions date the book to 1521, 1522 or 1421. Owen Davies suggests 1702 is when the first edition may have been created and a ''Bibliothèque bleue'' version (a popular edition, similar to a chapbook) of the text may have been published in 1750. The 19th-century French occultist Éliphas Lévi considered the contemporary edition of ''Le Dragon Rouge'' to be a counterfeit of a true, older Grand Grimoire. The "introductory chapter" was written by Antonio Venitiana del Rabina, who said he had gathered his information from original writings of King Solomon. Much of the material of this grimoire derives from the ''Key of Solomon'' and the ''Lesser Key of Solomon'', pseudepigraphical grimoires attributed to King Solomon. The first book contains instructions for summoning Lucifer or the demon Lucifuge Rofocale, for the purpose of forming a deal with the Devil. ...

The Grimoire Of Pope Honorius
''The Grimoire of Pope Honorius'', or ''Le Grimoire du Pape Honorius'', is a 17th to 18th century grimoire, which claims to have been written by Pope Honorius III (1150–1227). It is unique among grimoires in that it was specifically designed to be used by a priest, and some of the instructions include saying a Mass. While its name might be derived from the 13th century grimoire ''The Sworn Book of Honorius'', its content is closer to later grimories like the ''Key of Solomon'' and '' Grimorium Verum''. The first edition of the Grimoire is said to have appeared in 1629, and was likely forged near the end of the sixteenth century, roughly four hundred years after the death of its supposed author. According to A. E. Waite, "... is a malicious and somewhat clever imposture, which was undeniably calculated to deceive ignorant persons of its period who may have been magically inclined, more especially ignorant priests, since it pretends to convey the express sanction of the Apostoli ...

Campbell; Teitan Press, 2011.''The Book of Oberon,'' eds.

The original work (if it is a single work) has not been located, but some derived texts bearing the title have been found, some in the Sloane manuscripts, some in the Folger Shakespeare Library.
