History of Magic - Condemnation of 1398 - Sorcery, Heresy and Transgressive Poetry in the University

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ก.ย. 2024
- Sorcery at the University of Paris was condemned in a series of 28 articles on September 19 1398. What might this condemnation reveal to us about the actual theory and practice of illicit magic and necromancy in the middle ages? Here we find the world of the transgressive student Goliard poets, philosophy and theological heterodoxy among the faculty and a wide range of magical practices among both at the medieval University of Paris.

Hi Folks! I had to unexpectably buy a new laptop this week for the channel so any donation support via Paypal www.paypal.me/esotericachannel or Patreon www.patreon.com/esotericachannel would be especially appreciated - Many Thanks and Happy Hanukkah - חג אורים שמח!
I had to get a new tablet I'm always in front row in your class. thank you
:) done
@@VOCATUS123 So, so many thanks my friend. You really have done so much to make this channel possible and I am happy to express my public and sincere thanks.
"The distant toll of bells and murmurs of chanting" is so reminiscent of Clive Barker's hellbound heart. Nota: Barker quoted Bataille as an inspiration for that, and you love Bataille and puzzle boxes... 😃

Omg that had me *ROLLING!!!* This one of the many reasons why I never play your videos in the background, and instead fully pay attention to them. Can't miss these lil gems of humour!
I absolutely love this video! I have always been super fascinated in general by the history of education, especially higher education that's even disregarding the esoteric side of it. Anyways, this video was a very welcomed drop and I was looking forward to it. I love picking up new aspects of higher education history to consider as I continue to study it.
Just started the video, I'm so ready to learn the history if this!!
I love the mystic and Arcane and your research has me intrigued
cool topic! I subscribed a while ago. Love this one!
I'm kinda crushed to learn that "O For tuna" has nothing to do with Ahi
Oh Magoo, you did it again 😂
Isn't this what Walt Disney's Sorcerers Apprentice about?
A thing is learned ("lurnd"), a person or argument is learned ("ler-ned").
Angel Physics is exactly what my dissertation is going to be about
Maybe u ll do a video on it afterwards 😀
Dan Winter may have smth interesting on it ...🙏🏼💞
I can imagine the clerics reading this out loud to the students, occasionally saying "...and I can't believe I have to say this, but"

Yes - I'm going to do a follow up commentary on this text this weekend - there's a lot going on under the hood here and this episode was already getting long
@@TheEsotericaChannel Definitely waiting for more! :) This video reminds me why I name my scientific code according to a Goetic demon: to honor the early adventurous and sometimes wacky lineage of science and academia!
It's refreshing to see these subjects treated upon in a sober, scholastic, yet sympathetic fashion, without the juvenile and frankly embarrassing claims of magical powers or dubious first-hand experiences which always seem to attend any such discussions. Thank you.
Now I'm thinking specifically in something like the TH-cam channel Spirit Science, is that kind of stuff?
I saw a little while that they uploaded a video about literally why demons are scared of _magick_ circles. I watched it _for the lols_ as people say.
@@didack1419 they also claim Jews are from space
@@georgethompson913 Yeah, I think they say jews came from outer space after they teleported from the future or something.
That probably came to be as some kind of bizarre antisemitic new-age conspiracy theory and at some point in the chain of transmission someone stripped out the obviously antisemitic point of the theory.
Mystics be prideful like that sometimes.
Dr Sledge, if you ever plan on making merch, please do one about buried treasure, it's apmost a running joke in this channel by now
This is solid advice!
Honey wake up, Esoterica posted
"This is an error".
I am totally going to start using that.
Wow! We didn't learn any necromancy in my seminary. Exorcisms, yes. But no necromancy. I feel kinda cheated.
You know this sounds a little sus in that "don't put yeast into this grape juice and set it aside or else it might become wine" way. Much to our benefit, this denoucement is basically a grimoire
My decision not to attend The University of Paris, that was an error 😂
Ever since I saw your first video on a necromancers manual and you mentioned the 'clerical necromantic underground' I have been absolutely fascinated by it.
It's fascinating stuff for sure!
Am academic medal for whoever came up with that phrase.
YES!
That is a good name for a goth band.
@@morganrobinson8042 I'm saving it for the next time I start an occult themed psychedelic rock band
"Pestifarious" is a word that needs to come back into use.
Hopefully as a new hipster baby name.
So much knowledge free.. Incredible. Thank you for that!
Woooo!!!! Always excited about a new Esoterica video!
This was good, but you really should have read the articles in a Monty Python voice. Patreon version?
In short: medieval students got krunk, had bad haircuts, cussed, pulled pranks and had weird scholastic jokes. Good to see not much has changed haha.
Hello dr.sledge i was wondering if you have came across the works of micheal mcgaha and the likes of paul B.fenton and ronald kiener? If you have which you probably did i am hoping you can explain thier work in a more accessible way considering the connection between islamic mysticism and Jewish mysticism is often neglected or ignored, it would be a breath of fresh air!
Great idea, maybe a task for Filip from Let's Talk Religion and myself!
@@TheEsotericaChannel I hope to see this happen as well. Thanks for your work Justin

Love your videos so much man made me change my major in college to start looking into this stuff it’s so amazing
I absolutely love old universities ❣️ Transylvania has a few and Sorbonne is just breathtaking. That energy just makes me high ☺️

One of my favorite parts of this video is how many parts of college life are basically unchanged. Particually the Fake ID haircut.
At least number 15 was along the lines of like, “hey guys, there’s this thing called consent…”
"* I'll be doing a seperate talk with my own commentary" 17:45
Has this video been completed? If it has, could I get a link or search term? If not, I'd like to make a request for a video.
Funny thing about those tonsures, I recently got a TH-cam ad on one of your videos (not this one) for the Carmelite Novitiate, and some of the guys in that video still wore that haircut.
Better than yet another Gaia ad.
Excellent again! Revealing things I never knew, this is why this channel is so good! Thank you for your research and insights, I'm looking forward to the follow up video 🙏😎🖤☯️
Ever since you first mentioned this, I've been fascinated by the thought of "university necromancers" lol. Glad to finally see a full video!
I’m curious if you’ve attempted to practice any of the schools of magic you cover in your series, or if your studies are purely academic? And if you have practiced a craft, what has your experience been?
Look at his hat
Magic is fake. All trickery
Would love to see a Goliard drag show

Now I'm wondering how Thomas Aquinas posited that the angels have spin = ½.
Thanks
Ahh! Life at the university. In the mid-70s, the key was a buddy who knew the net addr of SoCal occult sites.
I wonder if the addresses changed each year.
@@Alizudo not in my experience. You may learn of another SoCal schism. My experience was limited by graduation in 1981.
this is my wife’s profile but i feel she should check these out
Was the university condemned by another entity or are the condemnations from the university?
From the university
Love your humor, Professor! Great history lesson as well! 😀
My main philosophy professor (who was Episcopalian, fyi,) convinced me that an infinite number of angels can dance on the head of a pin, since they don't have extended physical bodies.
Do you have any book recommendations on a introduction to alchemy for the layman?
All of my alchemy episode have a recommended reading list in the description - good luck!
Man... My academic ancestors knew how to have good times!
Thank you Dr. S for sharing your knowledge, these are things I would never otherwise have access to and I’m very grateful for your expertise
I thought the oldest university in Europe was in Bologna - in Italy. Maybe preceded by Salerno (also in Italy) which was a medical school (not a university proper so it's usually not counted)
I mention Bologna
@@TheEsotericaChannel I am covered in shame
This is my top topic last 2 weeks :-)
So curious to add possibly precious different points of view to my limited knowledge.
Let S start then.
Thx in advance 🙏
I'd love to know more about the condemnation of Averroism
I love hearing about the town vs gown riots in the middle ages. The university of Cambridge was famously founded after riots in Oxford had become so violent that hundreds of University of Oxford scholars were ran out of town and moved to cambridge.
Wow this is gonna be great, when I saw the title I thought it was going to be on one of my favorite authors Levi again. I love this channel so much next year I'm gonna support it financially meaning next month once I'm back to work, right now I'm lucky to pay rent and eat lol.
I am always happy for any support but would never want anyone to financially support the channel unless they are fully able. This content will always remain free and I'm delighted to share it! Best of luck getting back to work!
@@TheEsotericaChannel I know that but I'll be fine soon again financially, it's hard in the heart of NYC to pick back up after a hard time doing it solo but I'll be fine and thanks for your great content, I have studied Magick and the Occult for years, And learned things on your channel I have never heard before or had it explained in ways I couldn't understand. Enjoy the holidays.
Oh, I'm interested in magic too! 🤩 not that I believed in it in the way others do, but I believe that the spells have power to affect the mind of the magic practitioner and those who believe in it.
So to be immune from magic is to not believe it.🙂
Hope things have came back around for you brother 🙏 and if not now then soon
I’m excited for you to get 1 million subscribers!
Maybe one day! Thanks!
@@TheEsotericaChannel 1 million or not, all I know is I’m grateful for your channel. Thank you for putting out this brilliant obscure content. It’s a blessing honestly that you can do this!
Regarding the Carmina Burana set to music: I would recommend to everyone to listen to the medieval-style arrangement of some of the Carmina Burana poems by Joel Cohen, as recorded by the Boston Camerata in 1996 (th-cam.com/video/fJbhmXhM9Vg/w-d-xo.html)! I had the great pleasure of seeing this live while in high school and (though I enjoy Orff's version for what it is) I haven't stopped evangelizing this recording for 20+ years. :)
I wanted to comment on the Goliards' original music, but now I have a question... is it a modern arrangement? Or is it original medieval music? I do recall seeing some of the pages with music notation, but now I don't know. Also... how lucky are you to have seen this live!!! Amazing :D
Ok, just double-checked... there are some original melodies :) It's fascinating.
You're one of the greats Dr. Sledge!
Great - given a new name for my band or title for a new song: Monstrous Abominations of False Insanities! .. ..(Then I got a good laugh)... "with its heresies has appeared MORE THAN USUAL in our time!!! HAHAHA 😅 Thanks Professor Sledge !
Minor orders which are sacramental are: Porter, Exorcist, Lector, and Acolyte.
Hey excuse me Dr. Justin Sledge is there anyway we can talk and have an intellectual discussion, not a debate., but a discussion? Because I admire your works and would love to have an intellectual Convo with you. Plus I have some questions that I need to ask.
I bet not one student who 100% stared at magical signs passed his class VS. studying. At least classes as we know them today on campus.
Yeah you're betting on "I'll magic my way out if this problem" that's probably a losing bet
Articles 13 and 23 are sure a response against the Islamic version of king Solomon and about jinns.
07:58 -looks at the bent neck on that left instrument.- "How in the hell.. tuning, cords, was there a block supporting the strings evenly or at an angle? So much wrong with that." I need to see a real one to unwrap my head around it.
“That i have to stop watching videos and continue with my thesis, this is an error”
Great stuff...I've learned so much watching these videos.
Same but i have a terrible memory so i listen to them over and over. X from the netherlands
I really appreciate and enjoy this channel.
The way you present this material in such a modern light, while still retaining the core information behind it is just awesome. Probably my favorite channel! You should look into starting a podcast, Miguel Conner has some excellent content over on Aeon Byte as well, I'd love to hear you over there, maybe on the cathars or something! Thank you for the hard work!
I see necromancy as a Daoist like belief native to western megalithic culture.
20:38 #8 (Paraphrased) Proposition: "Ugh, you guys with all your rules! This is *so* unreasonable!"
Response: "Error!"
This was definitely directed at all those teens mentioned earlier in the video.
I also find it interesting that rather than being written as a series of "Thou shalt not" statements, instead it's a list of positions which are declared to be in error. I believe you mentioned in another video that this approach made the positions heretical rather than just sinful, which I suppose gave the authors more leverage, considering this was a school of theology.
Hi, listened through a couple times, but maybe I missed it: what is an “error” in this context?
So does the 26th denounce Aristotle's 'we are one soul' theory? It sounded like it said the soul that moves and places the heavens is not the same as the soul of that which is upon earth (human)..?
I had trouble making that one out as well. I thought it was condemning the idea that the heavenly bodies affect human bodies. Such as full moon or mercury in retrograde etc.
* "indecent gestures and with scurrilous and unchaste words" * ..that's how I roll.. (minus the righteous haircut)
So hogwarts was a thing
Uhhhhhh...ish?
“Hashtag life goals”. Using it tomorrow. 😆
How many angels can dance on the head of a pin? It depends on the tune.
Best channel on TH-cam
Thank you Justin. I find your videos weirdly therapeutic while arming me with all sorts of arguably useful information!
Interesting video! Condemnations herein point to a pattern of selfish uses of magic, which defeats the philosophical approach of Christianity. Documents like this make a lot of sense to curb selfish streaks in the studentry.
So if I bound a person once not to do harm and a week later I let it go was it was it an error
Don't you dare covet that ox
Me? Never!
thank you Justin Sledge I listened carefully to your speech and translation and now I must get the spelling for tontour haircut
It's "tonsure" - Though, I hear that trick doesn't work in Paris anymore ;)
Well, if I ever find a time machine...I know where and when to go now! lol And the wording in the Condemnation reminds me of the story at the beginning of the "Sworn Book of Honorius" where these magicians complain that the authorities are targeting them for their art and that a time to go underground has come.
*Awesome video and awesome channel!*
"Connoisseur of books of necromancy. #Lifegoals!" 😂
Brother Sledge you need to add a super thanks button to your vids, just another way to acquire donations.😜
It's still in beta but it'd be great to get it!
You made a small mistake: article 19 is not only an error, but also blasphemy ;)
"Necromancy at the University Level"
"...graduate school...'" 😆
It's interesting to me that we have such a chaste, sober image of priests and clerics. When for hundreds of years they were drunks, womanizers and necromancers.
a small minority in Paris were, for sure.
Spin is not a new concept. As Ecclesiastes says, there is nothing new under the saun.
Dr. Sledge, I'm trying to summon a demon but it seems to be less than successful. Could you please do another summoning video with a demonstration this time? I like Stolas, the owl looking one. Can you help?
👹🙊😆
Everything is real
The ones condemning these practices know more about these practices the ones who practice these arts. Don't you find this strange. Wink wink
Mmmmmm...graduate school... 🤤
Bitchin intro😉👍
#Lifegoals LOL!

Thank you.
Really thought provoking. Enjoyed the reading to the visual Latin text.
I find so fascinating and amusing at the same time how such holymen were more likely than not to be conjuring up demons in their universities than the people they targeted as warlocks and witches. it is something I enjoy in video games like Dragon Age and The Elder Scrolls. Those game developers truly done their homework in the history of European magick and necromancy. I love watching your videos and making a comparison to modern video games, past archived documented knowledge and newly found artifacts of history. .. how it all connects to give as full story as possible.
The truth can't be hidden forever. When are we going to find the evidence that Dragon's, Giants and fae folk existed? 🤔 🤓
