Can you see me?!

My new shirt features the sigil of invisibility as detailed in the The Munich Necromancer’s Manual.

In western culture Necromancy started as a way of using the dead (spirits) to predict the future, but by the middle ages it encompassed any kind of magic that used demons to the magicians’ will. Found in the Bavarian State Library in Munich the Necromancer’s Manual dates from around 1450 and is about the size of a postcard. The first few pages were removed so people opening the book would not immediately know it was a book of magic, which is probably why it has survived. It was probably produced by members of the Clerical Necromantic underground, a secret sect of the Christian church. It is a compilation of spells and incantations for summoning specific Christian demons who can grant you special powers. Most all western magic (i.e. ceremonial magic) is Judeo-Christian based with Egyptian and Greek influence, but it is all guided by the belief that King Solomon used the power of God to control demons, and you can too!

So far I don’t think it works.

The page detailing the ritual, of which I have not done, maybe some day. It prolly is the secret sauce needed to kick-start the commune with God, er demons or whatever. Unfortunately the scribes were really bad spellers and so I guess one must be careful not to pronounce the names of the Demons wrong. Big no-no. For how specific ritual magic seems to need to be to work, its history is nothing but a mix-match of contradictory process and spirits, even the names of the Demons change throughout the text, and some demons are swapped-out at will depending on who was transcribing. Fascinating stuff.
