Codex Gigas (the Devil’s Bible) - the largest manuscript in the world. Codex Gigas, otherwise known as ‘the Devil’s Bible’ is the largest and probably one of the strangest manuscripts in the world.
It is so large that it is said to have taken more than 160 animal skins to make it and takes at least two people to lift it. It measures approximately 1 metre in length. According to legend, the medieval manuscript was made out of a pact with the ‘devil’, which is why it is sometimes referred to as the Devil’s Bible. It was written in Latin during the 13th century AD, and although the origin of the manuscript is unknown, a note in the manuscript states that it was pawned in the monastery at Sedlec in 1295. The story behind the making of Codex Gigas (“the giant codex”) is that it was the work of one monk who was sentenced to death by being walled up alive. Stories and legends say that the Codex Gigas brought disaster or illness on whoever possessed it during its history.

[L | t+++ | ★★★★] | keywords:refraction by air, gradient index of refraction, diffraction around objects, convection currents Optical technique that allows us to see refraction caused by gases.
What it Shows Refraction due to small changes in the index of refraction in air are made visible by Schlieren Optics. With a video camera and monitor, we can see warm convection currents rising from your hand or, alternatively, cold air sinking from a glass of ice water. Gases other than air can also be seen with this technique. For example, sulfur hexafluoride gas can be visibly poured from a bottle into a glass (until overflowing) and subsequently poured out of the glass. Additionally, the bending of light around objects (diffraction by edges) can also be seen with this setup. How It Works A sphere, by definition, is a surface which is everywhere perpendicular to a radius drawn from its center of curvature. Terma (religion) Arcanorium College.

Showthread. Izabael and I have different abodes and perform magick separately now, but we share new and interesting ideas.
We still have similar tastes apparently as I also have been really into the Azoetia lately. I have been performing the Sabbat the last few nights at my level of understanding. I find it moving and powerful. Andrew Chumbley's invocations are better written than most anything I've read in other magickal works, and his artwork really sucks me in to the proper head space for sorcery and magick. I also have felt a resonance of "things happening" in my life as I have studied and been practicing it. That said, I'm still learning, and have some questions: My first problem is the .PDF. Another question: are there some clues somewhere to help decode Chumbley's artwork? Another question is the Offering at the various gates (East, West, North, South, and Crossroads). pAmphAge.

Codex seraphinianus. Megapolisomancy. Our Lady of Darkness (1977) by Fritz Leiber is an urban fantasy.
The novel is distinguished for three elements: the heavily autobiographical elements in the story, the use of Jungian psychology that informs the narrative, and its detailed description of "Megapolisomancy", a fictional occult science. It was originally published in shorter form as "The Pale Brown Thing. " (Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, Feb 1971). Autobiographical Elements[edit] Like the protagonist Franz Western, at the time that Leiber wrote the novel, he was recovering from his wife's death a number of years ago, and his own subsequent descent into alcoholism. The novel is also shot through with a knowledge of fantasy, especially authors like Jack London and the baroque poet Clark Ashton Smith who lived part of their lives in San Francisco. Jungian Elements[edit] Terror as the Teacher and a Precious Companion : occult.
