The Demonology of King James, the Witch Plot & Witchcraft Trials that Inspired It w
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 июл 2022
- Torture is said to have revealed an international plot by Witches to assassinate both King James and his bride in 1590. What followed was a series of witchcraft prosecutions stretching from Copenhagen to Edinburgh in which James VI of Scotland personally sought to root out and destroy witchcraft and necromancy in his realm. These dreadful trials inspired his 1597 Daemonologie, detailing the reality, nature, activity and means to detect and punish witches and sorcerers along with a protestant analysis of the array of diabolical forces, the spirits and devils who take the forms of ghosts and fairies with whom witches and necromancers commune. Join me for this exploration and, as a collaboration with @AtunSheiFilms , enjoy his annotated visual presentation of the 1597 Daemonologie itself in Original Pronunciation!

It was used when it suits thier purpose
My favorite horror trope is that the Church was full of crypto Satanists and the Inquisition victims were part of a ritual.
Oh, it's real buddy..
What ritual and where can I learn more about it or listen watch read please?
Sounds about right, Mason.
100%. If you read the Maleficarium you will have no doubt. Such a book could only be written by demons for exactly that purpose.
They had crypto bros back then too?! Damn!!!
“Danish Navy Seal Demons” is my favorite Mercyful Fate album
Calling it "Mermaids" would breed confusion, since that's already a movie soundtrack. Sometimes it doesn't pay to be concise.
@@CAPSLOCKPUNDIT And Savatage already did "Sirens" so yeah
Fun fact: King James turned into a monster after meeting King Diamond and it made James massively insecure.
One thing I do find bizarre is when modern Wiccans/Witches claim a history of persecution based on the witch trials of the Early Modern period. The people killed in the witch trials probably didn't (or wouldn't in the absence of torture) claim to be anything other than devout Christians, and the actual religious beliefs of modern witches don't typically have anything to do with Satan - which was at the core of the Early Modern idea of what witchcraft was.
To claim a historical kinship there feels like it both retrospectively validates the convictions and mischaracterises modern witchcraft as satanic. On the other hand, religions _do_ tend to like a good persecution narrative, so I can understand the appeal.
Yep, this.
They usually subscribe to Margaret Murray's The Witch Cult In Western Europe, a book claiming the persecuted women were part of a surviving pagan cult dedicated to fertility rites and a horned god.
Which sort of led to modern Wicca. I hope we get a video on that book in this channel sometime, it is remarkably influential despite its obscurity.
I am not one of these "modern witches," and I do agree that on the surface it seems a little silly. However, I think many of the "modern witchcraft groups" are more about combating the lasting misogynistic ramifications of the witch hunts, fighting for other marginalized communities, and celebrating women's friendships (including trans women). I also think many of them are interested in pre-christian traditions and christianity's intersection with capitalism. I believe it is still relevant today to use the symbol of the witch as a kind of liberation symbol. There is still thinking today that likely stemmed from the witch trials, such as older women being viewed as an inconvenience rather than distinguished, the view that women are "catty" and their friendships are not real and meaningful, and labor that is perceived as "women's work" being devalued.

"The past is never dead. It's not even past." -- William Faulkner
I grew up in rural West Tennessee in the 50s. I remember people of my grandfather's generation talking about a woman who had bewitched a fellow about 1900. The response was for the victim to drink water off silver--a silver dollar was put in a cup of water and he drank the water. The woman was disposed of by carving her picture on a tree and then shooting it with a silver bullet. Which strikes me as at least benign
Did they get the silver out of the tree?
@@TheEsotericaChannel I don't remember anyone saying, but I'd think so. These were tightfisted folks
I don't blame em
Silver actually acts as a water purifier so.. bonus points to these folks, they’re clever.
@@CHURCHISAWESUM One must, I think, be clever in moderation. Silver water is a mild antibiotic, and has some medical uses. However, I know an old gentleman who was so impressed with it, he drank it regularly for years, the result being that his skin is now permanently pale blue. I privately call it Papa-Smurfication
In a college course on "Heresies and Witchcraft " we learned that Germany had the worst rate of witch trials but interestingly Ireland had the least number of witch trials. Thank goodness for the Irish.
A friend of mine did his PhD thesis on witchcraft persecution in Ireland. Like much in Irish history there is a geographical and religious divide- the Pale of Settlement and province of Ulster, where there was an ongoing effort to settle British (English, Scottish and to a lesser extent Welsh) Protestants during this period followed British norms for witchcraft trials. There is simply much less information about witchcraft and its acceptance or persecution by the Irish Catholic majority who lived in areas still largely outside of the British administration. My friend actually attempted to address this, but the sheer lack of data meant he necessarily had to abandon an all-Ireland approach and focus on areas where written records are much more intact. So I don't think it's correct to definitively say "Ireland's cool with the witches," it's just that the necessary information to make such a conclusion is much spottier in Ireland at this time than most of the rest of Western Europe.
That's very interesting. The reading material we were given talked about how if witch trials in general went to higher courts, out of strictly local control, they had a greater chance of being dismissed. In Ireland that may well have been compounded by the Irish being unwilling to give up their countrymen to the English in the first place. It's not a bad theory.
Not very surprising. Witch hunts really took off after the protestant reformation, where as during the middle ages, Catholic Church largely dismissed witch craft and even made laws where those who executed witches were to be burned at the stake themselves. So in countries that had a more protestant influence did we see witch trials take off now that they dismissed Catholic teachings and standards.

Aloha hope people 🔎All Them Witches band I did
Been listening to ATW for a good while...best songs are Open Passageways and 3-5-7 but some of the or songs are straight dogshit
I'd no idea the Scottish gov't had issued an official apology. Goes to show how little attention I pay to the news...
Joking aside, the whole phenomenon should really be an essential part of the national school curriculum. Growing up, we learnt more about colonial Australia and Salem than native history of the same period. We might as well when for instance there aren't even enough Gaelic speakers to teach it as a third language.
Anyway, I've visited (by chance) a few places where trials took place. Strange how even the most picturesque places can be the sites of such historical trauma.
Thanks, Dr Sledge, for another fantastic video.

I just really enjoy when creators support other channels. I found Esoterica thanks to Genetically Modified Skeptic, and now you've shared two channels to which I've subscribed. Thank you, coz my algorithm was getting too newsy.
I found this channel all thank's to mythvision!
This channel is great !
Yeah mine got insanely newsy, to the point where my mental health was suffering for it.
To what extent were these works informed by actual traditional superstitions and magic practiced at the time? It sort of sounds like these theories of witchcraft were cobbled together via speculative exaggerations of previously uncontroversial traditions, and whatever nonsense was coaxed out of torture victims.
I have several episodes tracing the development of the elaboratedtheory of witchcraft
Esoterica's episodes are your best source if information on that at hand I think, but if you'd like to dig deeper I wholeheartedly reccoment Levack's "The Witch-Hunts In Early Modern Europe" which is the best introduction to the subject you can get. Well researched, updated several times, high academic quality but also as brief and concise as you can get. Very easy to read and rather inexpensive too!
Hearing this story it just seems to me that powerful people were always trying to find whatever reason to torture and murder people, be it at random or people they dislike.
This is a rather complex method if the only purpose is to wantonly murder people. No, if you read the demonology he wrote he very clearly sincerely believes these things to be true
Love it! Recently started reading up on the demonology of King James I.
Love the channel
So excited to see you tackle James VI! I know he wrote that book on witchery and remember hearing he was paranoid witches were out to get him.
I love the use of de goyas artwork when discussing witches
I first found this channel from Atun Shei, love you both!
Awesome video brother! I'm sending this to a friend of mine who does research on this and is a Wiccan high priest.
Wow! This is an amazing video! You really did an outstanding job with this one.
Came here from the Atun-Shei video. This is AMAZING context. Makes the other video so very frightening.
The only demons that people like James VI suffer from are those from their Sleep Paralysis. I wonder how many of these cases were just people suffering from Sleep Paralysis and just didn't have any other way to express their anxiety attacks and over worked schedule due to their obsession with the puritanical ethics of working for the Lord till you start hallucinating. These people worked from dawn till dusk or twelve hours without any hobbies and fun activities, after all most festivals and fun activities were outlawed. So they were so bored as thinking that it'll be fun to kill your neighbors and watch them burn, because you were bored. Sounds a lot like the internet trolls we have now-a-days. Goes to show nothing is new under the sun and moon.
Probably so, I worked long hours with no fun or hobbies and it gets to you very deep, I also grew up during the Satanic panic and it was not fun.
I always enjoyed that Shakespeare wrote Macbeth, a paranoid Scottish king in hoc with witches, on James taking the throne. But James apparently took to him anyway.
I worked in the old parliament building, the 'court of sessions' in Edinburgh that James abandoned for London. There's all sorts of torture instruments in the basement left over from that time
how do you figure it's about King James? He was sickly and handicapped, not a general type like MacBeth at all. Unless you think it's a manifesto about paranoid witches trying to take out the king by murder.. Either way it doesn't make the King look paranoid, but the witches.
Shakespeare wrote the KJV
Fantastic video!!
Thank you as always, but especially so given that you sound a bit under the weather. I hope you have a speedy recovery!
I grew up close to North Berwick, and all the villages along the East Lothian coast seem to have some sort of ghostly reminder of that period in the architecture of the older buildings & churches. Very cool to look out for.
Why is this sending chills down my spine today?
Thanks!
I have an male ancestor who had this done to them...Gilles de Rais aka Retz aka Laval. I've read his trial many times, Crowley's forbidden lecture, and many redemptive books..I dont actually know the truth but he is still considered a vicious aspect of the nobility who had many re enactments of his principle military victory with Joan de Arc as rolling point of the French he was her protector..throughout this period.
Cool

This episode should be quite the inspiration to KJV only Christians! Here in United States we are heading back towards the day of witchcraft trials.
You're very right!
I'm not a KJV onliest (I also use NKJV as well as the NET Full-Notes Edition, JPS Tanakh, Strong's concordance and the Targums as well). But I am an Ex-Witch and everything that King James said regarding witchcraft was pretty much true dude wasn't making anything up. The circles and conjurations, demonic contracts, that shit is real I've seen it with my own eyes.
So true! It’s very dangerous.
Oh I haven't met anyone yet who considers the KJV to be the "canonical" version of the Bible 😂
Everyone likes the Elizabethan undertones to the language, the romanticization of certain aspects, and the "classic" vibe its got going for it.
I literally listened to James Earl Jones narrate it, and yes, it was gud 😂
Edit: It's "pretty", so it's got that going for it 😂
Once again many thanks for your wonderful research and lively presentations. King James was one of the most highly educated men of his time... and still came up with consistently high levels of brutality. For more misogyny (and ''Biblical authority'' contra proto-science) take a peep at the case of Euphemia MacLean (aka Eufame MacCalzean). Supposedly one of the key ''facts'' which clinched the conviction and multi-execution was the use of anaesthetics during a difficult chilbirth.... which must surely be Satanic, for it contravenes the Christian mis-reading ot Genesis 3:16, supposedly setting out painful childbirth as Eve's rightful punishment. Euphemia was as you say foredoomed anyway for mixing in the wrong circles: she was sentenced to be ''burned to ashes, quick'' ( quick in this case meaing ''alive'', without the ''mercy'' of prior strangulation). I've got links to some old History-Of-Anaethesiology journal articles if anyone wants more gruesome details. Again, sincere thanks for all your hard work. M X
I would very very much appreciate it if you could share the article and journal titles so that I can get them through my university library!
Please do share them! Highly interested!

It’s no accident that political purges/revolutions and regime changes always go straight for the intellectuals first. Intellectuals and artisans are the driving forces behind most everything. The crude tools of violence and military power are the manifestations of the intellectual “class”.

I read Demonology by King James et al, the only thing I recall from it is da boot torture.
Thank you for the fascinating and scholarly videos down to the common man's intellect.
Dr. Sledge you'd probably really enjoy The Death of Nature by Carolyn Merchant. I think she has much of the same philosophical basis that you occasionally suggest you hold. The book is an excellent, throrough philosophical and socio-historical analysis of this topic from an academic standpoint.
I absolutely love this channel.
The witch hunts are always particularly horrible to be reminded about. Yet another lesson we can't seem to learn even today...
All in the name of God,,, very sad!
It's difficult to get into the mindset of the middle ages when so much wasn't known or understood and how superstition and myths were the best explanations for things they couldn't explain.
It isn't so much that so little was known or understood than it was that the truth was continuously and systematically withheld from the 'ignorant' masses. Just as it is today.
Just ordered Normand's book. Thanks Dr. Sledge! 👍
I only made it to the 1:20 mark before needing to comment. Yes, that needs to be a show.
CHECKMATE, DEMONITES!!
Lol!
Two interesting meetings took place in the life of James IV, that I believe may bear significant impact on James's personal beliefs on witchcraft. I don't have my notes in front of me, but he met and carried on a lengthy discussion with Tycho Brahe at one point. And in the light of his dealings with Danish prosecution against witchcraft, he spoke with and carried on a pen pal exchange with Niels Hemmingson, who wrote a treatise on magic.
There's a chapter on James's seafaring incident in the book I'm working on. And it is my pleasure to make mention also that James's personal chaplain throughout his whole life, and who was also aboard the ship that was supposedly attacked by witches, was Bishop David Lindsey, who happens to be my 15th great grandfather, directly through my father.
Of equal importance to the study of the esoteric through the biography of King James IV is, of course, the creation of the King James Bible, and it's teams of translators.
His entire reign is filled with fascinating characters. One of the translators was Robert Burton, author of "Anatomy of Melancholy", which also contains various adjunct discourses on spirits.
I'd love to see an episode of esoterica on the creation and translation of the KJV.
And I am a direct descendant of James 1
John Dowland stayed at his castle for the last 20 years of his life and he didn't write one tune the whole time. Apparently his muse only inspired him when he was melancholy, not content. Also, the Shakespearean players were part of his court.

Really enjoy your videos. Do you also collect the books you report on? Just curious. I’ve been a bibliophile collector of text on magic and witchcraft trials for decades (although my knowledge on the subject seems insignificant to yours). It all started about 30 years and hundreds of thousands of dollars ago when I ran across a Bloquel edition of the Enchiridion of Pope Leo III.

Whats most interesting too me is that when I think of the 15/1600's I think of the age of exploration, The Renaissance/ Enlightenment, and the foundation of modern science. It's baffling how easily society can backslide into barbarism.
It’s not baffling at all. This is all cyclical.
This is pre-enlightenment, pre-Renaissance (definitely in Britain), pre-scientific revolution
Thank you so much for this, and for all of your talks. This one causes me such sadness, and it is certainly a cautionary tale for all of us in these times.

“Unfolding Witch Process” sounds like a terrifying horror movie
The Uk's Channel 4 did a series about King James and his role in the witch trials. I think from foggy memory it was a mix of documentary and re-enactment. Anyway, they used it as a vehicle for the first ever use of the C word on terrestrial TV and they had King James say it to one of the witches during her... interrogation and thats all I really remember about it.
Something fascinating about the distribution of trials is that about half of Scotland is made up of the highlands and western isles, where witch trials were vanishingly rare. (When they did happen, they were usually in settlements within about ten miles of the highland line). There is a somewhat robust Gaelic/Scots division on this. I remember a scholar (icr who :/ ) remarking that the further north and west in britain you go, the harsher the terrain and the more inhospitable the nature spirits... His suggestion was that the gaels didn't need witches to explain why their ships sank or their dicks fell off, because faeries in the highlands are terrifying enough to be that explanation.
a difficult episode to watch due to its subject matter, but maybe I'm still too impressionable sometimes 😅
but educational nonetheless, thanks 😄

“She turned me into a brute !”🧐 I got back at her😏
I never knew why they tortured who they acclaimed witches. It really shows they just think a admission is better than their evidence, whitch by today's standards is absurd. The evidence of the wedding party of Ann and James on September, is enough for me. The key is September. I know that at the equator there is a wild wind called I think typhoon during summer. But seeing that in the UK winter between November - January people go surfing, the time you have calm winds and waved in the UK is the opposite season to summer - winter. What I notice is that when Ann traveled across before September, probably off waters after August, and so starting probably leaving the Danish shores June at the dead middle of summer, is the exact same thing witch. James noticed.
if he accused John Dee of being a magician , then he was probably correct about the witches lol.

James 1 was involved in elaborate "intrigues" with the royal court in Denmark (note the Shakespeare references; that is why). This suspicion he held of Denmark was probably well founded. For example, go to the public display of the Danish Royal Crowns / Scepters, etc they have an infamous SKULL head chalice that is part of somesort of hereditary dark arts.
@@grievuspwn4g3 Shakespeare wrote Hamlet in 1600(ish), James had been king of Scotland for almost 40 years by then, and everyone guessed that he'd be the next King of England, as indeed he was about 3 years later.
