Magic, Witchcraft & Divination in Ancient Mesopotamia | ASMR History Documentary (slow soft spoken)
With the Season of the Witch (the ASMR Witch) rapidly approaching, the portends are good for exploring the history of witchcraft, magic & divination, a study which requires we time travel back to Ancient Mesopotamia & pay a visit to the Ancient Mesopotamians. In this Ancient Civilizations mini documentary, a sort of crash course in Ancient Mesopotamian Magic, Witchcraft & Divination told by an ASMR Witch, we’ll scry into the origins of magic as it was invented, refined & recorded by the Sumerians, the Akkadians, the Assyrians & the Babylonians upon the very moment of the Birth of Civilization. Our task during this visit to the ASMR Witch is nothing less than cracking ancient codes of magic, witchcraft & divination, magic codes gifted to the Ancient Mesopotamians in cuneiform at the moment of creation in those First Civilizations, in cities like Sumer & Uruk, since these two events occurred simultaneously the Birth of Civilization - The Rise of Magic, Witchcraft & Divination. Among the Ancient Civilizations of the Ancient Mesopotamians, we witness the creation of 4 types of magic, each of them color-coded according to their level of morality, with some being state-sponsored & others being made taboo by the law codes of Ancient Mesopotamian kings. Among the Ancient Mesopotamians, across the cultures of Sumerians, the Akkadians, the Assyrians & the Babylonians, belief systems about the laws of magic, witchcraft & divination were uncovered & transmitted via clay cuneiform tablets, so that exorcists, witches, sorcerers, magicians & diviners could read the stars (& sheep entrails) for omens, break curses, cast spells of protection & defensive spells, cobble together amulets for protection, perform exorcisms to cast out demons & call upon the goddesses & gods for salvation. In the magical practices of Ancient Mesopotamian ancient civilizations, we hear echoes of the spells & incantations cast & recited today, catch a waft of the same healing potions concocted & prescribed by contemporary witches & observe the same patterns in the stars that are charted & interpreted in modern-day astrology. Topics explored in this mini ASMR history documentary include the four types of magic (e.g., white, grey/gray & black magic), the role of magic, witchcraft & divination among the Ancient Mesopotamians, spells, incantations, types of demons & exorcism (performed by āšipu) in Ancient Mesopotamia, the Maqlu Incantations / Maqlû Incantations, as well as beliefs & practices related to magic amulets, astrology & birthstones held by the The Sumerians, the Akkadians, the Assyrians & the Babylonians.
