The Sword of Gilead & The Book of Angels

            literally means "herbalist" or one who uses or
            administers drugs, but it was used virtually
            synonymously with Mageia and goeteia as a term
            for a sorcerer.
                    The Bible provides some evidence that
            these commandments against sorcery were
            enforced under the Hebrew kings. - And Saul
            disguised himself and put on another raiment,
            and he went, and two men with him, and they
            came to the woman by night: and he said, I pray
            thee, divine unto me by the familiar spirit, and
            bring me him up, whom I shall name unto thee.
            And the woman said unto him, Behold, thou
            knowest what Saul hath done, how he hath cut off
            those that have familiar spirits, and the wizards,
            out of the land: wherefore then layest thou a snare
            for my life, to cause me to die? - Note that the
            Hebrew word ob, translated as a familiar spirit in
            the above quotation, has a different meaning than
            the usual English sense of the phrase; namely, it
            refers to a spirit that the woman is familiar with,
            rather than to a spirit which physically manifests
            itself in the shape of an animal.
