🌸Star of David, Hebrew Magen David (“Shield of David”), Magen also spelled Mogen, Jewish symbol composed of two overlaid equilateral triangles that form a six-pointed star. It appears on synagogues, Jewish tombstones, and the flag of the State of Israel. The symbol—which historically was not limited to use by Jews—originated in antiquity, when, side by side with the five-pointed star, it served as a magical sign or as a decoration. In the Middle Ages the Star of David appeared with greater frequency among Jews but did not assume any special religious significance; it is found as well on some medieval cathedrals. The term Magen David, which in Jewish liturgy signifies God as the protector (shield) of David, gained currency among medieval Jewish mystics, who attached magical powers to King David’s shield just as earlier (non-Jewish) magical traditions had referred to the five-pointed star as the “seal of Solomon” 🌸

🌸The Seal of Solomon (or Ring of Solomon; Arabic: خاتم سليمان‎ Khātam Sulaymān) is the signet ring attributed to King Solomon in medieval Arabic tradition, from which it developed in Islamic and Jewish mysticism and in Western occultism. It is the predecessor of the Star of David, which became the symbol of the Jewish people in modern times.🌸

it is quite interesting how satanism and cults are a backdrop for this as this is advantageous for them to have knowledge like this to maybe manipulate or control people or make them go astray
I didn’t know about the jewish roots or their book on magic but in almost all religions there is a lot of study revolving around heavenly bodies and their impact on us like hinduism has it’s own obsession with it as if it determines our entire life and in Islam a lot of prominent figures were astronomers but muslims after that influenced by hinduism and occultism mixed astrology and astronomy together and started believing in a lot of things they weren’t supposed to be into. I mean sure there is stuff like how we’re all connected to the universe or how moon influences waves of the sea and maybe blood flow I don’t know much about that and how black magic can be accurate about things but still other than how it’s haram it’s also absurd to have a system that classifies all humans in the world into twelve discrete categories. There’s a lot more diversity and everyone’s environmental conditioning even if they are the same initially just makes it all the more complex.

Not to sound rude or anything, but I'm from the generation of free access to music - the internet, so I didn't care much for vinyls/tapes/CDs, although I inherited dozens of such from relatives. For example the very piece of music I fell in love with was a tape, which my mother bought randomly from a gas station on our way back (or to) the sea side. When we played it for the first time, I fell for it immediately because I heard Pantera, Ministry, Sisters of Mercy, Foreigner, Alice Cooper and many others. It was called Rock Hits Planet. Years later when I got even more obsessed with rock/metal and occultism (10y/old) my mother felt regret for buying something she never checked it contained industrial 'sinister' metal, which isn't the best music to play to your 4-y/old is it? It's a funny story really, because she's hated my "dark morose phases" where I could listen to industrial/trash metal 24/7, but she was the one who introduced it to me! LOL.

Seu interesse é teórico/acadêmico/histórico/cultural ou "devocional"? Essas leituras são difíceis mesmo. Eu mesmo não li Böhme.

tenho um vago interesse por alquimia (eu sei que Boehme não é "só" alquimista), mas não tenho conhecimento.
De qualquer forma, recomendo a edição do livro alquímico Mutus Liber do José Jorge Carvalho (com os comentários dele), o Ferreiros e Alquimistas do Mircea Eliade e também, por estranho que pareça, a leitura dos capítulos "The “Tantric Female Sacrifice"", "Pure Shaktism and Tantric Feminism, and Alchemy", "Fascist Occultism and it’s Close Relationship to Buddhist Tantrism" e "The Dalai Lama (Avalokitshvara) and the Demoness (Srinmo)" do livro "The Shadow of the Dalai Lama" de Victor & Victoria Trimondi (disponível aqui: http://www.trimondi.de/SDLE/Contents.htm ). Recomendo ainda os livros do Mantak Chia.
Além disso, é indispensável conhecer o "corpus mítico" (mesmo que ressignificado de forma cristã no caso dos alquimistas ocidentais, as "imagens" desses deuses permanecem). Recomendo livros do Panofsky, inclusive o "Saturno e a Melancolia" (que não li ainda tampouco). E é indispensável entender a simbologia astrológica. O Marcos Monteiro - http://ask.fm/mvmonteiro - pode indicar alguma bibliografia nesse sentido talvez. Também é preciso estudar algo do hermetismo e neoplatonismo.

Acho que por aí tem-se uma introdução boa aos temas alquímicos e acho muito válida e iluminadora a analogia da alquimia com yoga: o al-tannur (ou "athanor"), o forno alquímico, entendido como o próprio corpo do alquimista. é nesse nível de introdução ao tema que me situo em matéria de leituras (assim como em se tratando de goetia). mas fica a dica.

O Böhme, além de ter relevancia alquímica, se insere no misticismo cristão luterano, que influenciou o pietismo, Goethe, rosacrucianismo etc. O background dele é teologia cristã, neoplatonismo, alquimia de Paracelso. temas fascinantes. falta estudo.
