VI. Verba Maleficii

VI. Verba Maleficii

He said, "I will speak about Mercury and other philosophers, who played with their elements in this way, that they certainly discovered whatever they wanted." These most powerful and wisest men discovered this partly from God and partly from evil spirits. And what good is this? And so they named themselves planets, because they received much wisdom and many inquiries from the sun, the moon, and the stars. But wherever I want, I rule and dominate through these arts, namely in the heavenly bodies, in the trees and in the herbs, and in all the green things of the earth, and in the beasts and in the animals on the earth, as well as in the worms on the earth and beneath the earth. And in my journeys, who will resist me? God created everything; therefore, I do not do any harm to Him in these arts. He wants to be proven in the Scriptures and in the fullness of His works. And what good would it do if his works were so blind that no cause could be seen in them? It wouldn't matter at all. jd.
