As Profecias do Bandarra

Info Acerca do Bandarra (Sapateiro de Trancoso):

Gonçalo Annes Bandarra ou ainda, Gonçalo Anes, o Bandarra (Trancoso, 1500 — Trancoso, 1556) foi um sapateiro e profeta português, autor de Trovas messiânicas que ficaram ligadas ao sebastianismo e ao milenarismo português.

Vida e obra

Era sapateiro de profissão e dedicou-se à divulgação em verso de profecias de cariz messiânico. Tinha um bom conhecimento das escrituras do Antigo Testamento, do qual fazia as suas próprias interpretações, tendo composto uma série de "Trovas" falando sobre a vinda do Encoberto e o futuro de Portugal como reino. Por causa disso, foi acusado pela Inquisição de Judaísmo e as suas trovas foram incluídas, posteriormente, no catálogo de livros proibidos, já que suscitaram interesse sobretudo entre cristãos-novos. Foi inquirido perante este tribunal, mas foi obrigado a participar na procissão do auto-de-fé de 1541 e também a nunca mais interpretar a Bíblia ou escrever sobre assuntos da teologia. Apesar da grande aceitação de suas Trovas entre os cristão-novos, não se sabe ao certo se era ou não de ascendência judaica. Após o julgamento voltou para Trancoso, onde viria a morrer, provavelmente, em 1556.

As Trovas circularam em diversas cópias manuscritas, apesar da interdição do Santo Ofício. Em 1603, D. João de Castro (neto sebastianista do famoso Vice-Rei da Índia Portuguesa homónimo editou-as e comentou-as numa obra impressa em Paris e intitulada "Paráfrase e Concordância de Algumas Profecias de Bandarra". As Trovas foram interpretadas como uma profecia ao regresso do Rei D. Sebastião após o seu desaparecimento na Batalha de Alcácer-Quibir em Agosto de 1578. Em 1644, agora em Lion, aparece uma nova impressão, a primeira integral, patrocinada pelos apoiadores de D. João IV e defendendo que o "Restaurador" seria o verdadeiro "Encoberto" profetizado nas Trovas. Em 1665, foi novamente proibida pela Inquisição, que divulga um édito proibindo sua circulação. No século XVIII, novos corpos são adicionados às Trovas, supostamente descobertos em Trancoso. Acusando-as de serem maquinações dos jesuítas, em 1768, a Real Mesa Censória proíbe mais uma vez sua circulação, em decreto de que também interdita outra série de textos proféticos portugueses. Mesmo com todas as censuras, as Trovas continuam circulando e, em 1809, motivada pelas Invasões Napoleónicas, saiu uma nova reimpressão. Na sequência dessa edição, que ficou conhecida como de Barcelona, ainda que impressa em Londres, várias outras saíram num ressurgimento do sebastianismo motivado pelas crises política e social existentes em Portugal da primeira metade do século XIX. Nesse período, saem novas impressões em 1810, 1815, 1822, 1823, 1852 [1]. As Trovas do Bandarra influenciaram o pensamento sebastianista e messiânico de D. João de Castro, Padre António Vieira, de Fernando Pessoa, entre outros.

O Livro de São Cipriano - O Tesouro do Feiticeiro

Info Geral Acerca do Livro de São Cipriano:

Livro de São Cipriano é um grimório publicado em diversos países, inclusive no Brasil pela Editora Eco, do Rio de Janeiro, que contém diversos rituais de ocultismo, mais especificamente magias (branca e negra), com múltiplas finalidades, inclusive para o quotidiano.

O Livro de São Cipriano hoje é uma verdadeira coleção, todos afirmando que são os verdadeiros livros de São Cipriano, mas, na verdade, São Cipriano só escreveu um: Livro de São Cipriano de Capa Preta. [carece de fontes?]

A lenda de São Cipriano, o feiticeiro, confunde-se com São Cipriano de Cartago, santificado pela Igreja Católica, conhecido como o Papa Africano. Apesar do abismo histórico que os afasta, as lendas combinam-se e os Ciprianos, muitas vezes, tornam-se um só na cultura popular. É comum encontrarmos fatos e características pessoais atribuídas equivocadamente. Além dos mesmos nomes, os mártires coexistiram, mas em regiões distintas.

Cipriano, o feiticeiro, é celebrado no dia 2 de outubro. Foi um homem que dedicou boa parte de sua vida ao estudo das ciências ocultas. Após deparar-se com a jovem Justina, converteu-se ao cristianismo. Martirizado e canonizado, sua popularidade cresceu devido ao famoso Livro de São Cipriano, um compilado de rituais de magia.

O Antigo e Verdadeiro Livro Gigante de São Cipriano

O famoso Livro de São Cipriano foi redigido antes de sua conversão. Uma parte dos manuscritos foi queimada por ele mesmo. A questão é que não se sabe quando, e por quem os registros foram reunidos e traduzidos do hebraico para o latim, e posteriormente levados para diversas partes do mundo. [carece de fontes?]

No decorrer dos anos, o conteúdo sofreu alterações significativas, além da adequação necessária na tradução para os vários idiomas. Esses fatores colocam em dúvida a fidelidade das versões recentes, se comparadas às mais antigas.

Atualmente, não é possível falar do Livro, mas sim dos Livros de São Cipriano. As edições capa preta e capa de aço ou aquelas intituladas como o autêntico, o verdadeiro ou o único, enfatizam um mesmo acervo mágico central, e ainda exaltam o cristianismo e a vitória do bem sobre o mal.[carece de fontes?] Porém, existem grandes diferenças no conteúdo. Enquanto alguns exemplares apresentam histórias e rituais inofensivos, outros apelam para campos negativistas e destrutivos da magia.

Num aspecto geral, encontra-se instruções aos religiosos para tratar de uma moléstia, além de cartomancia, esconjurações e exorcismos. A Oração da Cabra Preta, Oração do Anjo Custódio e outras da crença popular também são inclusas (Magnificat, Cruz de São Bento, Oração para Assistir aos Enfermos na Hora da Morte etc.). Além dos rituais de como obter um pacto com o demônio, como desmanchar um casamento e da caveira iluminada com velas de sebo.

Há ainda os mitos que o cercam: muitos consideram ser pecado possuí-lo ou simplesmente tocá-lo.[carece de fontes?] De qualquer forma, o tema São Cipriano e tudo que o cerca, é um campo de estudo e pesquisa muito interessante para os ocultistas, religiosos e aventureiros.

Edições

Capa Preta

Dividido em dez partes

Considerada a única obra que contém a oração da Cabra Preta Milagrosa

São Cipriano levava consigo poderes ocultos obtidos por centenas de viagens feitas por todo o mundo, inclusive em certa época de sua vida obteve ensinamentos da famosa feiticeira de Évora, o qual aprendera magia negra. Isso despertou o interesse de personalidades de grande riqueza o que lhe possibilitou tornar-se dono de uma fortuna inestimável.[carece de fontes?] Após a morte de Évora, Cipriano apoderou-se dos manuscritos da velha bruxa, com os quais pode invocar a presença do demônio.

Existem fatos concretos de que Cipriano realmente existiu, mas quando seus restos mortais foram procurados, tudo havia sido levado por um batuqueiro.

Babalon

Babalon—also known as The Scarlet Woman, The Great Mother, or the Mother of Abominations—is a goddess found in the mystical system of Thelema, which was established in 1904 with English author and occultist Aleister Crowley's writing of The Book of the Law. In her most abstract form, she represents the female sexual impulse and the liberated woman; although she can also be identified with Mother Earth, in her most fertile sense. At the same time, Crowley believed that Babalon had an earthly aspect in the form of a spiritual office, which could be filled by actual women—usually as a counterpart to his own identification as "To Mega Therion" (The Great Beast)—whose duty was then to help manifest the energies of the current Aeon of Horus.

Her consort is Chaos, the "Father of Life" and the male form of the Creative Principle. Babalon is often described as being girt with a sword and riding the Beast. She is often referred to as a sacred whore, and her primary symbol is the Chalice or Graal.

As Crowley wrote in his The Book of Thoth, “She rides astride the Beast; in her left hand she holds the reins, representing the passion which unites them. In her right she holds aloft the cup, the Holy Grail aflame with love and death. In this cup are mingled the elements of the sacrament of the Aeon”.

Horus & Aeon of Horus

Horus is one of the oldest and most significant deities in the Ancient Egyptian religion, who was worshipped from at least the late Predynastic period through to Greco-Roman times. Different forms of Horus are recorded in history and these are treated as distinct gods by Egyptologists.[1] These various forms may possibly be different perceptions of the same multi-layered deity in which certain attributes or syncretic relationships are emphasised, not necessarily in opposition but complementary to one another, consistent with how the Ancient Egyptians viewed the multiple facets of reality.[2] The earliest recorded form is Horus the Falcon who was the patron deity of Nekhen in Upper Egypt and who is the first known national god, specifically related to the king who in time became to be regarded as a manifestation of Horus in life and Osiris in death.[1] The most commonly encountered family relationship describes Horus as the son of Isis and Osiris but in another tradition Hathor is regarded as his mother and sometimes as his wife.[1] Horus served many functions in the Egyptian pantheon, most notably being the god of the Sky, god of War and god of Protection.

Maat & Aeon of Maat

Maat, Ma'at, Maāt or Mayet, thought to have been pronounced as *Muʔʕat (Muh-aht),[1] was the Ancient Egyptian concept of truth, balance, order, law, morality, and justice. Maat was also personified as a goddess regulating the stars, seasons, and the actions of both mortals and the deities, who set the order of the universe from chaos at the moment of creation.

The earliest surviving records indicating Maat is the norm for nature and society, in this world and the next, is recorded during the Old Kingdom in pyramid texts (ca. 2780-2250 BCE).[2]

Later, as a goddess in other traditions of the Egyptian pantheon, where most goddesses were paired with a male aspect, her masculine counterpart was Thoth and their attributes are the same. After the rise of Ra they were depicted together in the Solar Barque. As Thoth has been seen to represent the Logos of Plato[3], so Maat has been viewed as an expression of Divine Wisdom.[4]

After her role in creation and continuously preventing the universe from returning to chaos, her primary role in Egyptian mythology dealt with the weighing of souls that took place in the underworld, Duat.[5] Her feather was the measure that determined whether the souls (considered to reside in the heart) of the departed would reach the paradise of afterlife successfully.

Pharaohs are often depicted with the emblems of Maat to emphasise their role in upholding the laws of the Creator.[6]

Thelema

Thelema is a religious[1] philosophy that was developed[2] by the early 20th century British writer and ceremonial magician Aleister Crowley. He believed himself to be the prophet of a new age, the Aeon of Horus,[3] based upon a religious experience that he had in Egypt in 1904.[1] By his account, a possibly non-corporeal being that called itself Aiwass contacted him and dictated a text known as The Book of the Law or Liber AL vel Legis, which outlined the principles of Thelema.[1][4]

Thelema is essentially a polytheistic religion, with the deities adopted from Ancient Egyptian religion, namely Nuit, Hadit and Ra-Hoor-Khuit. The faith follows the idea that the 20th century marked the beginning of the Aeon of Horus, in which a new ethical code would be followed; "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law". This statement indicated that followers, who are known as Thelemites, should seek out and follow their own True Will[5] rather than their ego's desires.[6] The religion also emphasizes the ritual practice of Magick as well as mysticism.

The word "Thelema" itself is the English transliteration of the Koine Greek noun θέλημα: "will", from the verb θέλω: to will, wish, purpose. As Crowley developed the religion, founding an organization known as the A∴A∴ to propagate it,[7] he wrote widely on the topic, producing what are collectively termed the Holy Books of Thelema. He also included into it ideas from occultism, Yoga and both Eastern and Western mysticism, especially the Qabalah.[8]
Thelemites — and other people — have interpreted and applied Crowley’s work in widely different ways,[9] sometimes leading to harsh disagreements.[10][11]

Temple

A temple (from the Latin word templum) is a structure reserved for religious or spiritual activities, such as prayer and sacrifice, or analogous rites. A templum constituted a sacred precinct as defined by a priest, or augur.[1] It has the same root as the word "template," a plan in preparation of the building that was marked out on the ground by the augur. Templa also became associated with the dwelling places of a god or gods. The word "temple" dates to about the 6th century BCE.[2] Despite the specific set of meanings associated with the religion of the ancient Rome, the word has now become quite widely used to describe a house of worship for any number of religions and is even used for time periods prior to the Romans.

Thoth

Thoth[1] was considered one of the more important deities of the Egyptian pantheon. In art, he was often depicted as a man with the head of an ibis or a baboon; these animals were sacred to him. His feminine counterpart was Seshat.[2] His chief shrine was located in the city of Khmun,[3] later renamed Hermopolis Magna during the Greco-Roman era[4] (in reference to him through the Greeks' interpretation that he was the same as their god Hermes) and Eshmûnên in the Coptic rendering. In that city, he led the local pantheon of the region known as the Ogdoad, and its eight principal deities. He also had numerous shrines within the cities of Abydos, Hesert, Urit, Per-Ab, Rekhui, Ta-ur, Sep, Hat, Pselket, Talmsis, Antcha-Mutet, Bah, Amen-heri-ab, and Ta-kens.[5]

He was often considered as the heart, which, according to the ancient Egyptians, is the seat of intelligence or the mind, and tongue of the sun god Ra; as well as the means by which Ra's will was translated into speech.[6] He had also been related to the Logos of Plato[6] and the mind of God[7] (see The All). In the Egyptian mythology, he has played many vital and prominent roles in maintaining the universe, including being one of the two deities (the other being Ma'at, who was also his wife) who stood on either side of Ra's boat.[8] Later in ancient Egyptian history, Thoth became heavily associated with the arbitration of godly disputes,[9] the arts of magic, the system of writing, the development of science,[10] and the judgment of the dead.[11]

Abraxas

The word Abrasax (Gk. ΑΒΡΑΣΑΞ, which is far more common in the sources than the variant form Abraxas, ΑΒΡΑΞΑΣ) was a word of mystic meaning in the system of the Gnostic Basilides, being there applied to the “Great Archon” (Gk., megas archōn), the princeps of the 365 spheres (Gk., ouranoi).[1] In Gnostic cosmology, the 7 letters spelling its name represent each of the 7 classic planets—Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.[2]

The word is found in Gnostic texts such as the Holy Book of the Great Invisible Spirit, and also appears in the Greek Magical Papyri. It was engraved on certain antique gemstones, called on that account Abrasax stones, which were used as amulets or charms. As the initial spelling on stones was 'Abrasax' (Αβρασαξ), the spelling of 'Abraxas' seen today probably originates in the confusion made between the Greek letters Sigma and Xi in the Latin transliteration. The word may be related to Abracadabra, although other explanations exist.

There are similarities and differences between such figures in reports about Basilides' teaching, ancient Gnostic texts, the larger Greco-Roman magical traditions, and modern magical and esoteric writings. Opinions abound on Abraxas, who in recent centuries has been claimed to be both an Egyptian god and a demon.[3] The Swiss Psychologist Carl Jung wrote a short Gnostic treatise in 1916 called The Seven Sermons to the Dead, which called Abraxas a God higher than the Christian God and Devil, that combines all opposites into one Being.
