66. THE WORD OBEAH: What Does It Mean, How Does It Work?

THE WORD OBEAH
What Does It Mean, How Does It Work?
the Wanderling
In the first few sentences of the rather extensive paper OBEAH , by Azuth Kalafou and presented by the Wanderling , Kalafou writes: "The word Obeah or Obi is it self a word obscured and clouded in secrecy." The TRUE origin of the word is indeed obscured and clouded in secrecy as Kalafou writes, however most indications seem to point to the fact that it probably sprang initially from "Oph," with a very probable etymology for "a serpent" in the Egyptian language, which was called Ob or Aub. Oph is a winged serpent or dragon; and Ab means wisdom, understanding, and will, together meaning "Serpent of Wisdom" or "Serpent of Knowledge." Obion is still the Egyptian name for a serpent. Ophiuchus the Serpent Bearer is a constellation in the night sky. Most people pretty much know what the Zodiac is and what their "Sun Sign" is. What most people don't know is that there are actually 13 sun signs, not 12. According to the official modern constellation boundaries that all astronomers use, the sun passes through 13 constellations, not 12. Mysteriously enough, just like Obeah is secret, hidden, and unknown, the "thirteenth constellation" of the Zodiac Ophiuchus the Serpent Bearer is secret, hidden, and unknown. About one person in twenty is an "Ophiuchus," and they don't even know it. Moses, in the name of God, forbids the Israelites even to enquire of the demon

67. Magical Arts In Theory And In Practice
Group II. giambattista della porta. Primary source. giambattista della porta, Natural Magick, London, 1658, pp. 125; 328-339.
http://www.trin.cam.ac.uk/sk111/T&SMagicandmachines.htm
Magic and Science in Early Modern Europe Magical arts in theory and in practice (Folder: class two material) In this class, we shall examine the many meanings of magic. The aim is to understand the distinction between natural philosophy and natural magic, between natural and demonic magic, and between nature and art. How are these distinctions maintained by the authors? How important is the claim of secrecy for magic? Do magical practices reflect theories, or vice versa? One important task in this class is to become sensitive to the different types of practitioners. Again, we shall focus on a selection of material from the Folder, but it is advisable that you have a look at the other material. Reading Primary Sources The primary sources for this class are predominantly texts, and in order to read primary sources historically, here are some important points that you must clarify about the text: Preliminary Questions
  • Who wrote the book? When was the book published, and where? In what language was the book written?
(is the English text that you are reading a modern or an early modern translation?)

http://www.strangescience.net/lincean.htm
Cesi and the Linceans
The Lincean Academy was quite possibly the first scientific academy of the modern era. Though the group's members never numbered more than a few dozen, they produced important works in botany, zoology, geology, and astronomy. Linceans used the microscope to make beautifully detailed illustrations of fungi roughly 40 years before Robert Hooke's famous Micrographia . Linceans reproduced 16th-century illustrations of New World flora and fauna for European scholars. While a number of Lincean works were published during the 17th century, however, many more of their supporting notes and illustrations were eventually scattered among private collections throughout Europe, many of them winding up in the Royal Collection at Windsor. Fortunately, much of the group's work was preserved in a "paper museum" assembled by academy member Cassiano Dal Pozzo, and purchased by King George III in 1762. The Linceans enjoyed an early boost, both in morale and prestige, through the admission of Giambattista Della Porta. Considered the greatest naturalist of his age, Della Porta was also an accomplished playwright, and his erudite comedies dominated the Italian stage for years. Yet Della Porta was a product of old, rather than new, science. He retained the Renaissance reverence for the works of classical authorities. He also supported the ideas of antipathies and sympathies, and the doctrine of signatures (the belief, for example, than an herb resembling a scorpion is the perfect remedy for a scorpion sting). By the time of Della Porta's death in 1615, Cesi had lost much of his admiration for the elderly savant. By then Della Porta had been eclipsed by a newer academy member.

parte 1 Giovanni della Porta (onde, por Giovanni della Porta, entende-se Giambattista della Porta, que é a mesma pessoa, e não o arquiteto Giacomo della Porta, que também é Giovanni della Porta mas não é o Giambattista.) Um homem do renascimento, Giovanni della Porta foi um grande dramaturgo, cientista e inventor, além de ocultista renomado. Suas contribuições estendem-se da óptica à demonologia, incluindo, entre outras: a proposta de um motor a vapor, uma enciclopédia sobre ciências agrárias, o uso de uma lente convexa na Camera Obscura, estudos sobre criptografia, e especulações acerca da possibilidade de telecomunicações utilizando sinais eletromagnéticos (isso ainda no século XVI). O que elege della Porta definitivamente à galeria dos favoritos da casa, no entanto, são seus fabulosos tratados de fisionomia, que tenho ainda alguma esperança de encontrar. (enquanto isso, vocês podem me dar isto aqui de natal.) Segundo fontes confiáveis, Della Porta propõe os seguintes princípios da fisionomia:
1. que cada animal possui um traço de personalidade característico: por exemplo, a mula é teimosa, o coelho é tímido, o porco é avarento e o burro é burro.

76. The Virtual Kite Zoo: Flat Kites
In his Magiae Naturalis of 1589, giambattista della porta describes a flying sayle , possibly based on traditional Chinese designs.
http://www.kites.org/zoo/single/flat/flat.html
Flat Kites
The simplest possible form of kite just consists of a single sheet of some suitable material, with spars and a bridle to support it. Unfortunately, flat kites are inherently unstable. They can be stabilised by ensuring that most of the drag is generated behind and below the towing point. Several methods may be used singly or in combination:
  • Adding a tail
  • Adding holes or vents towards the rear of the sail
  • Adding a keel
  • Simply arranging for a forward towing point.
Tails and vents waste wind energy and so tend to result in a low angle of flight. Vents are rarely used in flat kites. Flat kites generally fly well in light to moderate winds. The classic diamond kite is probably the best known of all kites, and is a flat kite which needs a tail to fly properly. Many of us have owned one of these in our youth. Sometimes they have a keel which adds a bit of stability and eliminates the need for a bridle. A plan for a classic diamond is given by Pelham If you have the patience to make loads of diamond kites (or get your friends or class-mates to help you), you can attach them all to a single line, equally spaced, and tie the line down at both ends. You then have a spectacular kite arch. Here's a picture (34.5k) which gives you a good idea. A kite train is similar, but with only one end anchored. The

A Brief History of Elizabethan Science and Magic
Early Science
The earliest records of science come from the ancient Greeks, around 600 BC. Other cultures, such as ancient Babylonians (present day Iraq) and Egyptians were forerunners in technological capability. But, neither of these cultures tried to understand their world outside of their practical needs. We can think of the ancient Greeks as the first scientists because it was they who began to try to understand their world, and advance the first theories. The first rumblings of science and philosophy begin in the Greek provincial cities, and flourished in Athens in the 4th century BC, under the great philosophers Plato and Aristotle. A list of Greek scientific figures from this period is a true celebrity list, even today.
