From the post:

>Hidden within the pages of an ancient manuscript in a Polish library were lost sermons of a saint who attempted to tackle one of the Bible's most chilling encounters. The 12th-century Latin texts were written by St Augustine, the theologian whose ideas helped shape Western Christianity and who is often regarded as the most important Christian thinker after the Apostle Paul. Researchers found that the newly identified sermons focus on King Saul's visit to the Witch of Endor, one of the Bible's most mysterious episodes, in which the dead prophet Samuel appears and foretells the king's death. The story, recorded in 1 Samuel 28, has troubled Jewish and Christian scholars for centuries because it appears to suggest that a medium successfully summoned a dead prophet.

From what I remember, even the witch was surprised it worked. God looked down and said "Alright, once for the Lesson and to send a message."

Any other time, it's a fucking demon. God is the only one who can decide if souls can come or go. Demons just know a lot of things, because, well, they're not physical. They're not bound by physical limitations like we are, and are explicitly otherworldly. Just because they know some intimate things does not mean they are the soul in question.

We are bound to less physical limitations than we think.

Wut.

I'll have to read it. St Augustine was 4th century. Is this a 12th century copy of a 4th century text?
