"I asked to see Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa's De occulta philosophia (1583), an extremely influential book about magic and necromancy. It influenced Baconโ€™s philosophy of Science according to legendary scholar Paolo Rossi in his legendary book Francis Bacon: From Magic To Science. Agrippaโ€™s book that is still in print today. This is Bacon's personal copy. In Latin. Those are his handwritten annotations."

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ The Shahed-136 is the Maxim gun of the era.

Endlessly copied, refined, and alters the tempo of combat itself.

The Maxim gun established a template so useful that many major power reverse-engineered or licensed it. And created a cascade of near-identical weapons in rival states.

Proliferation through simplicity. A trait also shared with the AK-47, Stalhelm helmets, muskets, and pikes.

The Holy Lance (also known as the Lance of Longinus, the Lance of Mauritius, or the Spear of Destiny) is the oldest piece of the imperial regalia of the kings and emperors of the Holy Roman Empire. It is said to contain a piece of a nail from the cross of Christ (the Holy Nail). According to legend, the lance belonged to Mauritius, the leader of the Theban Legion, or, according to other sources, to the Roman centurion Longinus, who used it to verify the death of Jesus, which is why it is also said to be soaked with his holy blood.

At times it was the most important piece of the insignia, later it was replaced by the imperial crown. The tip of the lance was kept in a cavity in the crossbeam of the imperial cross. A ruler who possessed this lance was considered invincible. It was a visible sign that his power came from God and that he was the representative of Christ.

THE SECRET GUIDE TO WORD MAGIC
Spelling is called spelling. Cursive is called cursive. And the most dangerous man in comedy just wrote a book explaining why.
Owen Benjamin grew up hiding under a cardboard desk to survive a nuclear blast, eating margarine because the food pyramid said so, and learning about heroin from a cop who made him act out an overdose in school. He was taught he descended from a primate through random mutation, that he was spinning on a ball of liquid nickel inside an explosion that came from nothing, and that the stars he saw at night were already dead. Then he was tested on everything and told he was smart because he could repeat all of it.
He became a comedian instead.
How to Slay a Wizard is about the people who run the tricks, the tricks themselves, and the one lie at the root of every spell ever cast on a living man or woman. It is not a political book. It is not a religious book. It is a book about manipulation, who does it, how it works, and why it requires your participation to be effective.
Starting from the dictionary definition of "wizard" and working outward through the mechanics of hypnotic language, the economics of fiat currency, the psychology of the con, the architecture of propaganda, and the spiritual sickness that turns a liar into a monster, the Big Bear dismantles every major spell of the modern age and shows you exactly what they have in common. Every spell follows the same structure. Every spell requires the same ingredient. And that ingredient is you.
This book will teach you what a wizard is, what an alchemist is, and why the difference matters. It shows how spells are structured like jokes that never deliver the punchline. It explains why the most forbidden word in America is forbidden and what the vampire myth is actually describing. It tells you how to spot a liar before the lies take root. And at the very end, the book exposes the one lie that has to be believed in order for any of it to work on you. It is so simple you might laugh. That's the point.
Once you see the secret spells, you will never stop seeing them. And then the wizards can no longer deceive you
