The Easton black spell is a well-known incantation that is believed to have originated from the town of Easton, Pembrokeshire, in Wales. It is said to possess dark and mysterious powers, often associated with black magic and witchcraft. The origins and specific details surrounding the Easton black spell are shrouded in secrecy and mystery. It is said to have been passed down through generations of witches and sorcerers who practiced the dark arts. The spell is rumored to have been first discovered by a witch named Morgana, who lived in Easton during the 17th century. The Easton black spell is often described as a potent spell that can be used for various purposes, such as causing harm to others, manipulating events, or even summoning malevolent spirits.
In ancient Rome and Greece, temples offered divinatory services through rituals. Most of these temples were devoted to Apollo, the God of Divination. One of the most famous temples is located at Delphi. In one ritual, the worshipper meets directly with the god or goddess in a dream. After a specific ritual or drug has been prepared to help the person contact the divinity, the worshipper spends the night in the sanctuary, often called the sleeping room. In the morning, a temple priest or priestess helps the person interpret the dream. This method, called “incubation” after the Latin for “to sleep” incubare, was widely practiced in the healing sanctuaries of Apollo’s son, Asceipius. In Book 3: Amulet’s Rapture (Curse of Clansmen and Kings), Marcellus visits the Temple of Minerva and dreams of his destiny with Catrin, a Celtic warrior queen.
Seers inspected entrails, especially livers, of sacrificed animals, interpreted the flight patterns of birds, or performed divination with a bowl of water or a mirror. The Ubykh term for a favomancer pxażayš simply means bean-thrower , and it later became a synonym for all soothsayers and seers in general in that language.
The Easton black spell is often described as a potent spell that can be used for various purposes, such as causing harm to others, manipulating events, or even summoning malevolent spirits. It is said to require a complex series of rituals and ingredients, including rare herbs, animal bones, and the recitation of incantations in ancient languages. Due to its association with black magic, the Easton black spell is highly controversial and often seen as dangerous.
Divination as Science
There is no doubt that Ancient Near Eastern divination is firmly rooted in religion, since all ominous signs were thought to have been sent by gods, and the invocation of omens was embedded in rituals. Nonetheless, the omen compendia display many aspects of a generally scientific nature. In their attempt to note all possible changes to the affected objects and to arrange their observations systematically for reference purposes, the scholars produced texts that resulted in a rather detailed description of the world, be it with respect to geography (the urban or rural environment on earth, or celestial and meteorological phenomena observed in the sky), biology (the outer appearance of the bodies of humans or animals, or the entrails of sheep), sociology (behavior of people) or others. Based on different divination methods and omen compendia, the question discussed during this workshop was whether the scholars had a scientific approach, presented as religion, or whether Ancient Near Eastern divination should be considered purely religious and that the term “science” is inappropriate in this context. The workshop attracted a large audience and lively discussion ensued. The papers presented in this volume reflect the focus of the sessions during the workshop and are likely to generate even more discussion, now that they are published.
