After this is a section on necromancy, involving magic circles and calling upon the aforementioned four kings, names of God, and different saints to constrain a called spirit. [16] The instructions on necromancy are followed by a means of finding hidden treasure that is similar to the method used by Edward Kelley, with spells to bind the spirit guarding the treasure. [17] Following this is yet another means of summoning King Leraje, [18] and then similar instructions to summon a spirit named Baron, and a spell named "an experiment of Rome," and spells to find lost items, steal items, see spirits (involving the invocation of King Arthur), and enchanting hazel rods. [19]

Fr. Stephen: It gets complicated, because the Septuagint does it different ways, but, yes, it’s the same kind of idea: God of the powers. The hymn, the trisagion there, the “Holy, holy, holy, Lord Sabaoth,” is being sung by the angels, and it’s a way of the angels expressing and worshiping him as their God. That’s a way we don’t always think about it, and that’s why there’s a similar phrase also in our memorial prayers, which is actually taken directly from the Book of Jubilees, a different piece of Enochic literature, where the prayer begins, “O God of spirits and of all flesh…” Stasia: Wonderful, delightful to be on the show. Glad to hear from you. I had a question about 1 Corinthians 11. I’ve been covering my hair daily for most of the year. I probably started last November to cover my hair about 90% of the time, and I don’t really know why. I see it in icons. That’s the only reason I have right now. But I’m looking at Scripture, and looking at 1 Corinthians 11:10, and my chapter version here says, “A woman has to have a sign of authority on her head because of the angels.”

Fr. Andrew: Okay, so I want to move on here so we can start taking a couple calls, because Bobby is telling me that we have a lot of people who have called in. Thanks, everybody!

Fr. Stephen: However, evil angels can die. We just read from Psalm 82. We didn’t read the verse, but verses 6 and 7.

But it shows up, of course, at other times of the liturgical year. There is a hymn in there called “Lord of hosts”: “O Lord of hosts, be with us, for we have no other help in times of sorrow but thee.” Which in the Byzantine tradition is just a wonderful, big, throaty kind of manly hymn. But what’s interesting is that in Greek it’s: “ Kyrie [ton] dynamaeon, Lord of powers,” but it means the same thing. I mean, isn’t that just simply the Septuagint translation of “Lord Sabaoth,” right? Chapter 10 (Occupations and Missions of the Spirits) is an essay by Kardec on the different reasons why high spirits interfere with the world.Fr. Stephen: Whoops, we left all this polytheistic stuff in there. Our bad! So that’s a problem. And then the other thing to me that really blows it out of the water is that the plural form of “gods,” talking about “gods” in the plural, is actually more common in the Dead Sea Scrolls than it is in the Old Testament. And the Dead Sea Scrolls are written right before and during the time of Christ. They clearly hadn’t evolved in their language; they were still talking about a plurality of gods. Fr. Andrew:“Um, actually…” Exactly! Everyone, get out your animated gifs for that! We today, Christians today, we are monotheists. That’s the way we talk about it, and we’re not polytheists. So there’s the idea that we worship the one, true God, and those pagans, they worshiped many gods. But that, if you listen to the beginning of what we were talking about tonight, you know that that’s not the image that the Bible depicts. It uses the word “gods” to refer to all kinds of beings and doesn’t see a problem with using that same word to refer to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, the one true God. “The one true God,” the phrase that we use, that doesn’t mean that that’s the only being we use the word “god” to refer to, because the Bible doesn’t do that. This subtext is made explicit in The Labyrinth of the Spirits when a librarian directs Alicia to a text that was doubly suppressed: “Be careful because this is a censored book, not only by the government but also by the Holy Mother Church.” Anne Of Green Gables Comfort Color Shirt, Anne Shirley Bookish Shirt, Kindred Spirits, Cottagecore Shirt, Light Academia, Book Shirt.

Fr. Andrew: Biblical studies. He actually has a Ph.D. in this stuff. I super don’t. When we were first talking about this show, I said to Fr. Stephen, “So, like, how are we going to make sure that this show isn’t just you telling about the things you know and me sitting there saying, ‘That’s awesome. Dude, you’re awesome.’” And your response was something like, “Well, you’re way more practical than I am.” Fr. Stephen: [Laughter] Not really correct it. I’ll fill in blanks. I don’t have to “Um, actually” you yet. Fr. Andrew: Yeah, and I think that, as people living in the West, we tend to value education a great deal. So this is one of the places where a godly education, an appropriately spiritually formed education, can really be helpful to us. We’re not talking about academia in all the negative ways that people tend to use that term. It’s not about ripping apart the tradition or destroying what people believe or anything like that, but actually using all kinds of great tools of study that show us, as you said, the connective tissue between things that are right there in our tradition. So the question is not: “Should this be in our tradition?” but “Why is it there, and how does it connect with all this other stuff?”Fr. Stephen: It’s not the word “judgment-seat.” It’s where we get the word “criterion,” actually; it’s “criterion,” and it means a law court; it means an actual court.

Who is like you, O Yahweh, among the gods? Who is like you, majestic in holiness, awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders? That’s just one example of something that’s just right there in our tradition and kind of staring you in the face, but unless you’re oriented toward paying attention to it, you’re probably just going to skip over it, not really even know that it’s there. So if someone were to say to me, “If you could say in a nutshell, what is this show about?” it’s about talking about especially those things that are right there in the Bible, right there in the Church services, right there in the Church Fathers but that maybe we’ve never noticed or we didn’t know what to do with it so we just kind of skipped over it, or maybe it was hidden behind a translation issue and we just didn’t know because we didn’t read the original languages. And sometimes these are really kind of important issues. It’s not just obscure little things like: “Oh, that’s neat”; it’s really important kind of issues for your spiritual life.Fr. Andrew: I just wanted to make another… Because we’re going to be talking, I know, because we’re both nerds in different ways and on different levels for sure, but we’re going to be talking a lot about words and what they mean and how they’re used and how they’re used in lots of different ways. Someone might counter and say, “Doesn’t the word elohim, doesn’t that mean ‘gods’ in Hebrew? Doesn’t elohim just mean the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit? Doesn’t that just mean Yahweh?” Is that the case? Is elohim only used in the Hebrew Bible for Yahweh?
