3000-Year Genealogy of Magic Books Visual Encyclopedia Revealed How to Manipulate Demons and Angels

The earliest mention of Faust in history appears in a letter written by the abbot and occult philosopher Johannes Trithemius (1462-1516). According to the letter, the real Dr. Faust called himself “the prince of necromancers” and was a traveling entertainer with a great deal to say.

Decades after his death, Faust became the legendary European sorcerer of legendary stories. In fact, it was thanks to the printing press. The first printed book about the fictional Faust was published in German in the late 16th century. It tells the story of Faust making a pact with the devil’s minion Mephistopheles in order to improve his magical knowledge and acquire new powers that would allow him to surpass others. However, the power is only available for a limited time, and when the promised date arrives, Satan steals Faust’s body and soul.

The “Faust legend” was translated and printed in many languages and has influenced many artists and writers over the centuries. The most famous of these is “Faust,” the masterpiece of the German poet and playwright Goethe. The story of Faust was taken up many times in popular literature throughout Europe well into the 19th century as a warning to those obsessed with contracts with demonic forces.

The history of grimoires reveals a group of people who learned magic from their predecessors and added their own elements and interpretations to pass it on to future generations. They turned Solomon and Faust into great magicians, sometimes for money, sometimes as their own creations.

Even today, we are surrounded by creations based on magical and satanic motifs. The genealogy of witchcraft is still passed down to game designers, movie producers, comic book writers, and novelists.
