It’s most likely drawn from ideas found in “The Magus” since the planetary sigils are used, just like Joseph Smith’s infumous “Jupiter Talisman”. The knife being made of steel (iron) which is the metal of Mars , certainly a weapon directly to mars it’s int need use is pretty straightforward.Fra.Ashen Chassan F.:N.:Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07451651417360299136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1296767595163067465.post-64152424809433962332018-04-21T20:14:11.028-07:002018-04-21T20:14:11.028-07:00I am curious if you know this particular knife, ht...I am curious if you know this particular knife, http://www.lostmormonism.com/mars-dagger/ and what grimoire instructed its creation?

Your blog connects these with phurba "healing knife". <br />An Aboriginal skull dated late 1200s was found in NSW east Australia with a slicing fracture down the frontal bone . Tests show that hardwood blades can't slice bone that way. So probably an Indonesian keris ( krios?) was used. There are records of ceremonies nearby like Tantraya healing using 9inch twigs as dorje phurba along with Old Java language names for ceremonial details as well as chakra concepts ( fire burning the forehead). A local title is Ngurrumpaa and Ngarampa is a high degree in Tantraya which had teaching temples in Indonesia 1000 years ago.<br />So thank you , your info has locked some facts into place.<br />JohnAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13341812549854001234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1296767595163067465.post-27234136007480941502016-10-26T14:05:45.561-07:002016-10-26T14:05:45.561-07:00Most of your knives were made in the Philipines Most of your knives were made in the Philipines Cyb2600https://www.blogger.com/profile/05908575503228403188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1296767595163067465.post-33928480175316334642016-07-24T22:32:03.857-07:002016-07-24T22:32:03.857-07:00Hi, Could you please tell me: to engrave a black h...Hi, Could you please tell me: to engrave a black hilted knife with King Solomon's markings, which figure (photo) would I use.

Raven, yes, I purchased the "The Grimoire of Arthur Gauntlet" when it came out and David was promoting it. A Great work! Not one I associate with witchcraft in anyway though. "Cunning man" was just another name for a magician, mage, wizard and so on. I suppose some might mistakenly call him a witch (or the practice, "witchcraft") as well since often such practices were grouped together. (historically the lines were somewhat blurred) However all of the material is that which is found in the various Solomonic magical texts and same Christian/Jewish religious overtones. Although, as I mentioned before, some of the spells and methods may have come from various folk traditions. Most are direct derivatives of one of the SOlomonic cycle texts though which I always group under the Western Ceremonial Magic Tradition.

It's a genuine workbook of a 17th century English "Cunning Man" or white witch. His practices drew heavily from the grimoires and to the modern eye of most Pagans would seem hopelessly complicated. An interesting change that he made was that he used a wand more than a knife; this could have been from personal preference, or because of the ease of carrying a wooden implement about. Many of the Cunning Folk drew upon the Key of Solomon, etc though they largely took isolated bits, sigils, etc and put them to a more Earthy use; they did not seem too interested in working with a Guardian Angel, etc. By the 19th century it was possible to order books of magic, and in some cases these seem to have been collected by even the illiterate witches whether for show or as a magical item in and of itself. Gardner merely drew from the same well that a lot of earlier practitioners had done, and added to that his background in Freemasonry and Eastern occultism as well as his love of British folklore.<br /><br />Gary does indeed do amazing work. It's always nice to find skilled craftsmen who create quality products. What I can't make myself I have custom made for me, though I confess my craftsperson skills are not up to much.

Raven, I made the circle myself and attempt to make most of my magical equipment where I’m able. I have background in Celtic practices and historic approaches to Druidism so appreciate much of the serious Pagan paths. The overlap Witchcraft finds with ceremonial magic is much of Gardner’s background in in the ceremonial magic practices of that day where such tools as the “artheme” and the sigils and methods were borrowed from famous grimories of magic, mostly the Key of Solomon. Some methods found in various MS’s of magic undoubtedly have borrowed or integrated folk magic techniques of the day as well. So lots of overlap :)<br /><br /> <br />Gary does great work and I have a few of his His works that he’s custom made from me since 1999.
