While Christianity is often thought of as hostile to any form of magical practice, history reveals that magic has been practiced through all of Christian history. In this episode of Esoterica we explore the earliest Christian magic preserved in Greek and Coptic sources from late-classical Egypt. Here we find a wide range of magical practices from protection, exorcisms, love magic, curses - even a spell for a good singing voice. Studying early Christian magic gives us an important glimpse into a wider range of Christianity than just the world of theologians, monks, and priests.

People forget that Christianity, like most other major religions, has gone through a vast evolution of theological tenets over the ages. There was a time when women were the leaders of Christian ritual; and a long while where priests were not celibate. These are two of many examples of the theological evolution. The New Testament is full of Christian magic. To know one's religion, one must study it from the beginning. Thank you for your guidance in these matters.

​@@australopithecusafarensis5386Yeah. One of the weirdest dichotomies in Christianity is in 1 breath saying God is all powerful and having an intense, intimate relationship with human life. While when confronted by skeptical atheists or other competing explanations, they deny that miracles, signs and wonders still occur. It is very common to have a Christian claim the Bible is Inerrant, but at some point people and prophets stopped being able to do miracles (through the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ). Pentacostal Christians, people that claim to speak in tongues, etc. are often lampooned in many Christian communities. The denominations that are more open to such mysticism, to my knowledge are Baptists and Pentacostals.

I grew up Traditional Roman Catholic. The Mass itself is magic ritual, complete with carefully crafted spells read straight out of a ritual book in front of everyone. It is what it is. I started thinking of it that way, to be honest, after hearing the line in the Pink Floyd song "Time" where they reference the lay people gathering to hear the "softely spoken spell" at the call of the bell. The entire religion revolves around mysticism, demonology, superstition, and ritual magic

My family is Irish Catholic but the women in my family dating back earlier then the 1800s all read tea leaves & did other healing magik. When my dad told me about it, I didn’t understand because we are taught in Catholic school & church that all of those things were evil & devil worship. Now that I’m an adult & have been studying religions, ancient history, secret society’s, etc, I know we have all been brainwashed into thinking “Magik” is evil. Magik has always been used, even by the Christians! I also think my family was into Magik because they were in Ireland. Celtic druids we’re there long before any Christians were. I believe the Irish continued the magik of the druids & ancient knowledge. They did this in secret though because the Catholic Church would have had them all arrested or killed and labeled witches. The true evil is the Catholic Church. I always wondered why the Pope was even still in power in the common day considering the horrible crimes against humanity they have been inflicting on humanity since the beginning. Same goes with the Royal family of England! Why are they still in these huge palaces living off the peoples tax money, yet they “aren’t in charge of anything anymore”. You will learn that anyone who resides in one of these ancient “Roman” structures never leave, keep their secret artifacts in their ancient estates. All have underground tunnels that lead over 50 miles across underground (Vatican secret library), and these monsters continue to live there. Yet we are to believe these people are no longer in charge of anything? I don’t buy it. They are hiding plenty in those buildings! Until the people rise up against their evil & raid their castles, we will remain under this brainwashed state. Good luck on your journey!

I’m not going to dislike this comment or anything, but depending on who you are talking about it doesn’t make sense. There are Christians who do essentially believe in magic; they believe it to be evil and say not to practice it. If it isn’t real you can’t practice it. It varies, some say magic doesn’t work, some say it is demons, some say it simply isn’t wholesome because it is offensive to God. No Christian that I have met would call blessings or prayers “magic”, asking a higher power to do something isn’t the same as magic, not to a Christian. If you were to start telling random Christians that they practice magic, it will likely confuse or offend them. The biggest similarity between what Christians do and what any other religion does, or a magic practitioner does, is that it requires faith in something unseen. If that’s all it takes for something to be called magic, then quantum physics is magic. The rest of the world which I have not seen with my own eyes is magic. Such a definition is too broad.

I have been on this learning journey for a while now & the RU-vid channel Minds Unveiled has been mind blowing. It really breaks down the way we have been brainwashed via KJV Bible. There are so many more stories that didn’t make the final cut, due to the magik & other worldly (or dimension) subject matter in these gospels. We have been deceived much more then we think. The whole “accept Jesus Christ as your savior & your saved forever” never sat right with me. It doesn’t make sense to me personally. I was brought up Roman Catholic/Christian and it never felt right. Well once I learned about the Jesuit order along with other secret sects like Freemasons, Odd fellows, the rosecrution order, ect. And how they have manipulated & changed the public view of Christianity to dumb people down & make us stop asking questions. Our history has been altered & we all have been deceived on a grand scale.

I found the second spell interesting , because it is in form very similar to the spells sung by finnic people in the old days. calling out divine powers-asking for their favor on something-adressing the problem directly and taking command over it. The amount of verses for each stage is very similar too. It would be interesting to hear what this casting sounded like, because it seems to use fill-in words, perhaps to reach a certain count or rythm, like finnish magic was based on the count of eight in a verse sung.

I remember doing reiki and using the gospel of Thomas prayer method on my sick grandma. She got better rather quickly and I put up with what docs put up with. She thanked god not me for all the research I did and the fact I hid mystical techniques under her nose is the only thing that made things better. I tried to explained praying through the heart and she accused me of falling from grace. She always wanted me to be a healer in her church but as soon as I made it suddenly I'm the bad guy.

King David being a man after Gods own heart... took one look at Jonathan, Saul’s son and loved him with his whole heart.... I chose to read between the lines and say David fell in love at first sight with Saul’s son but married his sister and we know how that lack luster marriage turned out.

I remember reading in one of Josephus' many writings that within Judaism there were certain practitioners of what seems to be a kind of healing magic. The earliest writing on kabbalah is from the 3rd or 4th century. Since there are so many recorded instances of miracles all the way back to Moses historical or not historical, there probably were Jewish magical schools going back to the foundations of Judaism or perhaps to pre-Judaic religion. It stands to reason that the Jesus of Christianity and his followers were practitioners of some sort of Jewish magic that was also reflected in the Dead Sea scrolls. Interesting video By the way Thanks

I relish your youtube videos, especially this one! Thank you for your courage in searching for truth and presenting it here, to give us a wider, deeper understanding of Christianity than official, elite narratives sometimes disclose. I am happy to hear how real people really felt and acted. At the same time, my particular understanding of the Jesus's politics of compassion inclines me to think he probably wouldn't participate in a curse of one human intending revenge on another, though he would definitely understand the way deep hurt can elicit fury. I think he would answer a request for his aid in such a case, in some other way, (not vengeful harm) which would also be powerful. That's just my take on Jesus, who I believe was tortured and murdered by the corrupt powers, but who still lives, in some way, and still helps any who sincerely ask for his help in healing and/or creating a more equitable, peaceful social order.

This is so great. I love how, as you say, we are all people, across races, cultures, religions, nationalities, sexual orientations and TIME. Seems like social media 'shading', death threats etc. is just the modern incarnation of written spellwork. As a Catholic/Umbandista we were always very discreet about protection and attraction rituals as many people condemn esoteric practices (although not so much in Brazil). Now I live in the West and am just beginning to 'own' my tradition, like I just started putting it in the religion box in surveys. You sir are a Fountain of Knowledge!

I do remember reading about how in U.K. where I am, early Christians built churches on top of Pictish/Celtic worship sites and incorporated celebrating around pagan equinoxes and solstices to make it easier to transition from one to the other. I would suppose it’s just natural rituals and worship left over, would still occur in more isolated areas where it’s particular to a certain area and their culture.

Thanks for another fascinating and enlightening talk. In light of your earlier presentation on the evolution of magical alphabets, seeing these papyri is particularly interesting. Is it your impression that there was a sort of performative element to the presentation of these elements for the magician's client? If so, the way this magic is being used seems related to the workings of chaos magic by contemporary practitioners: it doesn't really matter if these are hieroglyphs or not, as long as they provide a belief in something magical and a device that can be charged...

Also, I feel the elites who want to control and make others have the exact same beliefs or say one isn't "christian" bc they think outside the box or have different views on spirituality , are not being very Christian themselves bc to me control and judgement are far from Christian and To me have no right to do any of that!
