Since the creation of The Church of Satan in 1966, Satanism has become a popular religious
group, consisting of ideological and philosophical beliefs about Satan.
Since its inception, there have been numerous texts published promoting the religion with
instructions on how to invoke demons and entities.
So with that, we’re going to be discussing some of the scariest, with our list of the
Top 5 Scary Demonic Books.
Before we begin be sure to stick around until the end of the video where I’ll be responding
to some of your comments.
Let’s jump in.
5 The Voynich Manuscript The Voynich Manuscript is arguably the most
infamous on our list to say the least.
To begin, the book is written in an unknown writing system that many to this day are still
attempting to decipher.
It is unknown who wrote the book, but it is named after Wilfrid Voynich, a Polish book
dealer who purchased it in 1912.
The mystery of the book has excited people over the years, but we’re still no closer
to figuring out it’s contents or origins.
Many have speculated that the book itself may be evil, and judging by the pictures included,
may contain spells or incantations for summoning demons.
But this is all speculation.
There have been many people over the years who have claimed to have deciphered the text,
from Robert S Brumbaugh who claimed that the manuscript was a forgery intended to fool
Emperor Rudolf II into purchasing it.
Or Stephen Bax who claimed the manuscript was about Nature.
Or even Nicholas Gibbs who claimed it was a guide to women’s health.
We may never know what knowledge the books hold, perhaps at the end of the day, it’s
a hoax.
But some speculate it may be something evil that we should never attempt to uncover.
4 The Sworn Book of Honorius This is a medieval grimoire, written by Honorius
of Thebes -- it is the oldest existing medieval grimoire, and arguably the most influential.
The text contains incantations and invocations to induce visions from heaven, Hell, and Purgatory.
It is also widely believed that the person who is capable of deciphering all the text
with gain access to all the knowledge in the world.
Not too shabby.Now, it’s history is hazy, but the book is supposedly the product of
a group of magicians who condensed all their knowledge into one book.
Many of it’s instructions include: how to conjure and command a demon,how to work other
magical operations, as well as the knowledge of what lies in Heaven, among other things.
It has been classified as a Solomonic Grimoire, due to its heavy angelic powers, like those
found in The Key of Solomon.
3 The Satanic Bible Published in 1969, and written by Anton LaVey,
The Satanic Bible is a collection of essays, observations and rituals, is the central text
of Satanism, and is considered to be the foundation of it’s philosophy.
The bible is divided into four sections: The Book of Satan, The Book of Lucifer, The Book
of Belial, and The Book of Leviathan.
The latter offering invocations for sex, compassion, and destruction, as well as invocation of
Satan.
Thankfully, The Satanic Bible is not considered to be a sacred scripture, like the Christian
Bible is to Christians -- but Satanists do regard it as authoritative text.
The Satanic Bible has been condemned by many, for being dangerous -- particularly to adolescents.
As problematic as this book is -- it is still available in most places -- although many
schools have made an attempt to ban the text.
2 The Necromancer’s Manual Also known as the Munich Manual of Demonic
Magic, this book is a fifteenth century grimoire manuscript.
This text is seen as guidebook to evoke demonic entities.
The book includes a variety of spells and rituals, divided into three themes: Illusionist,
Psychological, and Diviniatory.
Not only that, but it was believed that this book was the tool to control people, time,
and emotions.Yeah -- there is no real way of knowing that someone isn’t out there
right now, using this book to control you.
Think about it.
1 The Grand Grimoire To put it simply -- this book teaches you
how to summon and control demons.
Yup.
Is there anything worse than that?
No, the answers no.
Also known as The Red Dragon this book was written in the early 19th century -- with
it’s publication date ranging from, 1521, to 1522, or even 1421.
It was authored by Antonio Venitiana del Rabina -- I hope I said that right.
Who has supposedly gathered his information from the original writings of King Solomon.
The book contains instructions to summon Lucifer, for the purpose of forming a deal with the
devil.
The Grand Grimoire is divided into two books, -- the first half containing the instructions
for summoning a demon.
And the second divided into two further parts: The Sanctum Regnum, and Secrets, of the magic
art of the Grand Grimoire.
The former contains instructions for making a pact with a demon -- allowing you to command
it without the tools required in book one.
The latter contains simple spells and rituals you can performs in order to complete the
summoning and the controlling.
All in all -- it’s not a book that should be placed in the hands of the morally ambiguous,
let’s just say that.
Well there we have it!
What did you guys think of these books?
Have you read any of them?
Were there any that we missed?
Leave us all your thoughts and feelings in the comments down below and perhaps we can
do a part 2.
Before I go though I just want to respond to a few comments from some of our past videos.
Mr Michael McSween said “Can you guys please do a Suspira Video?
I love the movie and I love your channel.
It’d work great.”
-- Well Michael, I sure hope you're talking about Dario Argento’s Suspiria, and not
the horrendous remake that just came out.
Otherwise, yes, I would love to make a Suspiria video.
Nicodemus Gabel said “Darn it Lucy!
You are so intimidating, no wonder they chose you as a speak for scary vid.
When I look in your eyes I see someone you shouldn’t mess with.
Keep up the good work.”
-- Why Nico, you know me so well.
And on that note, if you haven’t already give this video a thumbs up, subscribe and
