Thank you for including so many references and taking the time to explain the etymologies and their cultural significance! When you were talking about the qumaqin and qumquma relations it made me think and compare the vessels and wind containers to the arabic architectural windtowers and how their construction of channeling winds and being built amongst or atop water reservoirs bares a lot of thematic resemblance to some of the meanings in the story of the witch of Endor. Particularly the word Endor having associations with the circular well or spring. It would be a fun rabbit hole to research and see if these windtowers also acted as ritual summoning pits.
Great episode. You should have a wee look into ghost vessels in voodoo. Also check the Keres in Ancient Greece. Jane Harrison goes into some depth in her Prolegomena. And, yes, Pandora’s ‘box’ (the original Greek meant vase) was one such. The Greeks often buried their dead in such vessels. Which , I think, begins to get us to the real root of the matter.
great stuff made me wonder about aladdin and the lamp story I looked it up and wikipedia says "The ultimate source of the genie in a container tales is Homer's Iliad, where the god Ares is trapped in a bronze urn and offers to grant Hermes whatever he wants if he is set free." for whatever that's worth
Very interesting. Thanks Alex. Interestingly, the Lemegeton’s ancestor “Liber Officiorum Spirituum”, reads “into a glass vessel” (in vase vitreo) (Weyer, sect. 23; similarly Coxe 25 p. 180 "in vase vitreo ... in magno vitro vase"). It’s unclear why the Lemegeton (following Reginald Scot) changed this to “brass vessel” - whether an error or deliberate deviation to match up with folklore. The medieval Life of Saint Margaret (1275) recounts the legend; the Latin reads salomon infinitam demonum multitudinem in quodam vase inclusit ("Solomon enclosed a large number of demons in a certain vessel"). By the time it was expanded and retold in English1 the details of the vessel being brass, and the Babylonians being responsible for opening it, were added.
Joe - I absolutely love and appreciate your context! In fact, it was your very mention of "in vase vitreo" that got me started down the brass-rabbit hole! This is wonderful context from the medieval period, and I am so thankful for your scholarship, erudition and information!
God gave Solomon the power right? With other words solomon got permission from God, that is why i hesitate mentally, is this meaning for us too? I don't think so. Solomon did no haram things because it is written he was given the power by God, but not us? So we associate someone else with God when evoking = we sin, i do evocations, but this makes me take a step back, because i have to answer in the afterlife. Very good video!

Fascinating! Great point and that's what's so amazing: the global connections of wind, water, leather and metal!

Is there any book that teaches how to bind spirits in a bottle?
This popped up in my feed today, just when I start reading Corwin Hargrove's book on Practical Jinn Magick. Synchronicity? Coincidence?
"Magic is when you schedule your own coincidences." :) Sounds like we are on a similar magical wavelength!
