Liebeszauber is a late 15th century painting which portrays a young, naked witch
‘Liebeszauber’ (love charm) is a late 15th century painting which portrays a young, naked witch. The painting is by the master of the Lower Rhine (that is, attributed to a specific painter whose works are known, but whose name is not known), around 1470-80.
According to “Sexy Witch” (whose blog page is now password protected) this is a painting about love, witches, potions, and eroticism. Note the voyeur peering from behind the door at back; her nakedness, youth and beauty. Our own view (as he/she notes) is much better: we see all of her secrets. We are voyeurs, too. This witch is young and lusty and entirely exposed to us – both her body and her desires. “Sexy witch” goes on to point to her poulaines (pointy shoes) on her feet. This is about arousal, and sexual feminine aggression. Men wore Crakows with poulaines (the long, pointy bit) and used them under the table to wriggle between women’s thighs opposite, “prodding their private parts.” She is prepared to return the favour, though maybe it’s wishful thinking on the part of the artist. Wikipedia says women didn’t tend to wear poulaines, and we don’t think many men would find being stabbed in the crotch erotic.See (if you can) <http://sexywitch.wordpress.com/2007/05/02/sexy-witch-in-the-1470s/>

Digital Scans of the Enochian Manuscripts
During the 1580s, Dr. John Dee (a mathematician and astrologer of great fame throughout Europe) conducted a series of “spirit actions” with the scryer Edward Kelley in an attempt to gain knowledge of the world directly from God (יהוה) and his angels. The records of these angelic conferences purport to reveal a method of commanding nature through a knowledge of the interwoven angelic hierarchies and their “Adamic” language, as described in a series of visions and through the use of sigils, tables and “calls”.Pasted from <http://www.themagickalreview.org/enochian/mss/> [That URL is (2016) 404 and another site has the material: http://themagickalreview.dragon-talisman.net/enochian/mss/.

Secret Teachings of All Ages, by Manly P. Hall“In the case of black magic, it is the magician and not the demon who must sign the pact. When the black magician binds an elemental to his service, a battle of wits ensues, which the demon eventually wins. With his own blood the magician signs the pact between himself and the demon, for in the arcanum of magic it is declared that “he controls the soul who controls the blood of another.” As long as the magician does not fail, the elemental will fulfil to the letter his obligation under the pact, but the demon will try in every possible way to prevent the magician from carrying out his part of the contract.”Pasted from <http://www.sacred-texts.com/eso/sta/sta24.htm>
