St. Cyprian – Patron Saint of Necromancers

There are two saints known as Cyprian and there has been much confusion between these two martyrs as it is said that both bishops were born in Carthage sometime in the 3rd century, one was an orator and teacher, the other, a pagan necromancer that traveled around the Mediterranean in order to expand his occult knowledge who now bears the image of the other. He is known and prayed to as Saint Cyprian of Antioch.

Very little is known about this ‘saint’ who is sometimes petitioned for love, luck, money, etc., but one thing is for certain, those are not the characteristics of his mythic nature, as most do not know of his dark and sinister past.

It is said that Cyprian of Antioch was born in Carthage as a pagan child dedicated to the service of Apollo, Greek God of light, youth, healing, and prophecy.  He entered the mysteries of Mithras at the age of seven, carried the torch of Demeter, wore the white garments of Kore, and served the serpent of Pallas. He was then sent off to Mount Olympus to be initiated into communion of dæmons who are born from the echoes of the heavenly voices, feeding only on fruits and acorns after sunset for twenty-nine days.

At the age of ten he learned divination from the movement of animals, the sound of trees, and from the whispers of the dead. At the age of fifteen he lived in Argos and served the goddess Juno. He then lived in Icara where he served the goddess Diana, and then Sparta where he learned incantations on how to commune with the dead.

He moved to Memphis, Egypt at the age of twenty where he learned the ways of possession and demonology, meeting the dæmons the Great Solomon once had. It is also said that this is where Cyprian learned how to magically induce natural disasters.

At thirty years old, he set out to learn from the Chaldeans, astrology, herbology, as well as the motion of ether, fire, and light. This is where Cyprian met and honored the Devil, thus, he was entrusted with an infantry of dæmons.

“His form was like a golden flower adorned with precious stones, and he crowned his head with stones that were twined together—the energies of which illuminated that plain, and his garment was no different—and when he enwreathed himself, he shook the land.” —Confession of Cyprian of Antioch

He then moved to Antioch where he became a famous philosopher and a powerful sorcerer.  One day a young man named Aglaïdas came to seek his services to win the love of a virgin named Justina. He sent out several dæmons who were unsuccessful in turning her will. Justina’s god was more powerful and through prayer, no dæmon could harm her. And after several attempts, Cyprian’s magic was extinguished.  Seeing this, the Devil himself tried to carry on the mission, but after Justina made the sign of the cross, his attempts were also unsuccessful.

The powerless Cyprian renounced his pagan practices and went to Justina to plea for his live, turned away, he approached the Christian god, where he was shown mercy. After converting to Christianity, he eventually worked his way through the hierarchy and became the Bishop of Antioch. He was then turned over by the people to the Roman governor of the region, where he would be judged for shaming their gods and turning people away from them. Both Justina and Cyprian we tortured by being thrown in a boiling cauldron, but no harm came to them, fearing their sorcery, they were sent to Nicomedia were they were both beheaded.

During his confession prior to his death, he recounted the acts he committed, killing people physically and magically, decapitating dark-skinned youth to Hekate, burying young adults to Pluto, giving the blood of virgins to Pallas and the blood of full grown men to Kronos.

It was in Portugal during the 19th century, that a book bearing his name appeared, The Great Book of Saint Cyprian, in which the legend tells us that this book was written by the saint himself, and contains spells and incantations that terrifies anyone who possess it. Legend also says that if read in its entirety it will attract the devil himself. This book was later taken to Brazil where its practices were infused with the Afro-Caribbean religions of Umbanda and Candomble, where he is venerated alongside the Pombagiras of Kimbanda.

Today, his image is that of a bishop wearing a white alb, a purple cope, a mitre, a golden crozier, while holding a bible. But what most people do not know is that this particular image is a variation of the image of Saint Cyprian of Carthage as there have been no images found of a Cyprian of Antioch .

Unfortunately, Cyprian has now been deemed a fictional character as historians found no evidence of his existence and his confession was classified as a borrowed literally work, which eventually lead the Vatican to remove him from the list of saints in 1968. But, whatever spirit has taken on the name, it carries it proudly and effectively, and so, he shall remain as such, Cyprian of Antioch, Patron Saint of Necromancers.

How I honor, serve, and work with Cyprian:

He is called upon to aid in any workings when dealing directly with the dead. His statue was placed inside a cauldron filled with graveyard dirt and surrounded by the ashes of the dead. He was given seven gold coins, seven acorns, seven nails, a dagger, a skull of a black dog, and a purple candle which is lit on Fridays, the day I observe the dead. He was also given a second cauldron filled with liquids for divination. On his feast day, September 26, I light for him seven candles after sunset and feed him with fruits.

Personal Prayer to Cyprian:

In the name of Cipriano and his seven candles, on behalf of his black dog and his seven gold coins. In the name of Cipriano and his silver dagger. In the name of Cipriano and his holy mountain. In the name of the tree of the zephyrs and the great oak. I ask and shall be answered, by the 7 churches of Rome, the seven lamps of Jerusalem, the seven golden candles of Egypt. Amen.

Personal Prayer to Cyprian against an enemy:

Mighty Cipriano, sorcerer of shadows and occult powers, to you whom nothing is impossible, through your conjure, by your Holy Dagger, cut the tongue of my enemies, the wicked and the malicious who want to bring their evil to my home. Return twice as much what was sent to me, sheltering and protecting me at all times. Amen.

Baby witch here

Can someone explain how you burn an herb? If something calls for mugwort, how do I burn it? Do I need it to be in oil form?

The five rivers of the underowrld, Styx, Lethe, Archeron, Phlegethon, and Cocytus, each had unique function in how the Underworld worked and was named to reflect an emotion or god associated with death.

At the sea, blue sea There was a floating flock of white swans  And where did the gray-white eagle come from?  It dispersed the flock around the blue sea White down rose to heaven,  Gray feathers fell on a green meadow  And who will collect these feathers?  A beautiful girl

pewnie masz pełno takich pytań! jakie książki o mitologii czy też w ogóle o naszej kulturze polecasz najbardziej?

a, no niby lista się robi ale faktycznie nie w mowie naszej ojczystej ale po angielsku - więc pozwolę sobie w odpowiedzi na to pytanie zawrzeć większość książek i tekstów, które polecam.

pierwsza książka i miłość moja największa, którą dręczyć będę wszystkich dopóki nas śmierć nie zabierze: Mitologia Słowian Aleksandra Gieysztora. źródło o tyle czasem niepopularne, że zdecydowanie akademickie, zdecydowanie stare, zdecydowanie kurzem dmuchające w oczy i rozprawiające godzinami oDumézilu i Brücknerze. ale warto, dobre bogi, warto.

później, jeśli o mitologię i wierzenia idzie, w kolejności w zasadzie dowolnej:

- Mity, podania i wierzenia dawnych Słowian - Jerzy Strzelczyk

- Polska demonologia ludowa - Leonard Pełka

- Bestiariusz słowiański - Paweł Zych i Witold Wargas (tutaj warto w ogóle sięgnąć także do ich świetnej a mniej znanej pozycji Duchy Polskich miast i zamków)

- Mitologia Słowiańska - Aleksander Brückner

- Religia Słowian - Andrzej Szyjewski

- jedno z najbardziej interesujących źródeł na temat folkloru i wierzeń ludowych, Komentarze do Polskiego Atlasu Etnograficznego: Wiedza i Wierzenia Ludowe

- Kultura ludowa Słowian - Kazimierz Moszyński

- Słowiańskie zaświaty. Wierzenia, wizje i mity - Paweł Szczepanik

z niesamowitych, istotnych ale i strasznych jak to pieszczotliwie można powiedzieć, staroci (tylko krytycznie!):

- Kronika Polski - Wincenty Kadłubek

- Kronika Thietmara (oj nie lubił naszych pradziadów ten pan, nie lubił)

- Katalog magii Rudolfa - Edward Karwot

- Roczniki Jana Długosza - ale tylko jako ciekawostka lub materiał do złoszczenia się, bo Jan to odlatywał strasznie w pewnych momentach i wiarygodność jego kronik jeśli chodzi o wierzenia słowiańskie to takie mocne “yyy… chyba może niekoniecznie.”

a jak o fikcję i mniej-fikcję chodzi - taką co budzi ciekawość i chęć puszczenia się galopem po stepie, ucieczki w lasy ciemne i góry wysokie - to polecam tak:

- Demony i Klechdy Ludowe - Sylwia Zawiślak

- Drzewo - Łukasz Wierzbicki

- Stara Słaboniowa i Spiekładuchy - Joanna Łańcucka

- Samotność Bogów - Dorota Terakowska

- Stara Baśń - Józef Ignacy Kraszewski - ale i inne z serii Dzieje Polski, jak Lubonie albo Bracia Zmartwychwstańcy

- Lelum-Polelum - Walery Przyborowski

dużo by się tego pewnie jeszcze znalazło, może i kiedyś przy jednym z tuzina self-reblogowań dodam więcej.

dziękuję za pytanie!

i genuinely don’t understand why mary shelley’s writing style is so underappreciated because the first page of matilda just left me speechless

⛧ || ❝ CURSE REFLECTED ❞

Should you find yourself on the wrong end of a curse or a hex, perform this spell, ideally on a cloudless moonlit night, for clarity. It’s a fairly rudimentary spell, easily performed by just about any witch as long as your intentions are clear and your focus is set.

This box/jar must be buried, preferably somewhere with low foot traffic and if possible in the woods.

☽ || ❝ INGREDIENTS ❞

MIRROR. this mirror will be, ideally, a small, handheld mirror that will break cleanly, rather than shatter.

JAR OR BOX. a jar is undoubtedly more secure, but a wooden lockbox is appropriate all the same.

DRIED THISTLE. dried thistle, to protect yourself.

MORNING GLORY. to bind the curse to the jar, and byway, back to the source.

SELENITE CRYSTAL. a small piece of this crystal will aid in focusing the moonlight, amplify the protection onto you and the curse onto the source.

BLACK FEATHER. this feather must be black by nature, not by human, meaning it must come from a bird that is obsidian, not a feather of other colour that has been dyed. the feather is to both strengthen the protection to you, and help to carry the curse to the source.

BLACK INK. to bind the jar/box.

TREE DIRT. ideally this dirt will be collected from under an old oak tree, but if there’s not one available to you, any dirt will suffice. this is to promote concentration while casting, and improve the strength of the spell.

☽ || ❝ SPELL WORK ❞

001. Gather your ingredients, and find a clearing where the moon can meet the mirror when you need it. When you’re ready, focused, and prepared, sit on the ground and open your jar: ensure the moonlight kisses every corner of it, flooding it entirely.

002. Begin to place the ingredients into the jar, one by one, ensuring to centre on your intent with each: chanting aloud can help to focus your thoughts, but this is not necessary. With each item you place in the jar, make sure that your thoughts are clear with the items property and reason. As in, with the thistle: to protect yourself from what you’ve been cursed with. “with this thistle, i protect myself.” “with this morning glory, i bind this spell to this vessel.” etc. Once you’ve placed the thistle, morning glory, crystal, and feather into the jar, set it aside momentarily; preferably somewhere that the moonlight is still drowning the contents.

003. Take the mirror and look clear into it, concentrate deeply to remove the curse from yourself and bind it to the mirror. If you prefer simply to remove the curse from yourself, complete this step then skip to step five. If you wish for the curse to flutter back to the sender, you must perform step four as well.  

As follows:  

Continuing to hold the mirror, gazing deep into yourself, speak these words six times:

                         curse blind to me. curse bind to thee.

004.  To return this curse to where it originated, speak these words eight times:

                         as the mirror breaks, this curse it takes,

                         i am protected,   your curse is reflected.

Once you’ve spoken the words, you will lay the mirror down face up and break it with a rock. the idea is not to smash it, but to break it into medium pieces that can easily be collected. If you’re concerned about the clean break, you can lay a piece of fabric beneath the mirror and it can easily be scooped up and dumped into the jar if it happens to shatter. Please be extremely careful with this step, wear gloves if you think you may cut yourself. 

005.  Upon completion of the steps above, place ALL the pieces of the broken mirror into your container and fill it entirely with the tree dirt. Once full and the lid screwed on tightly, your spell is bound - optionally add a binding symbol and/or protection symbol to the lid of the jar. This spell cannot be unbound, meaning it will not return to you even if the caster should cleanse their own, as it will return to the mirror shards instead. Make sure to bury this jar in a safe, low traffic area. Deeper is better, you don’t want to accidentally injure someone should they step on it. Three feet or more should suffice. If you prefer not to bury this jar, keep it stored somewhere safe and consider gluing the lid closed so no one will accidentally open it an injure themselves.
