The mysterious "Devil of the Duke", the sorcerer John Lambe

The world of the occult, witchcraft and esotericism in general, has always been closely linked to the female figure, the woman, perhaps because she is more receptive and sensitive, because she possesses that feminine intuition or simply because they did not fit into the social role established for them at the time.For all these reasons, they were almost the only ones that used to be considered to be able to exercise witchcraft.There were very few men-sorcerers and if anyone stood out, making history, it was the mysterious Devil of the Duke , the sorcerer John Lambe .Want to know his story?

The mysterious "Devil of the Duke", the sorcerer John Lambe

John Lambe or rather the Doctor John Lambe , as he called himself, was a "healer" of many fame in the England of the seventeenth century; even the most influential people of the time came to him, because it was said that he had magical powers that allowed him to diagnose diseases, despite not having knowledge of medicine.In addition, he had the gift of clairvoyance and used it to locate treasures, objects lost or stolen...Curiously, I also used it to unmask unfaithful husbands or wives.

The mysterious

Through clairvoyance, the Doctor Lambe predicted the future, which attracted the curiosity of politicians and powerful eager to know what destiny had in store for them, especially in business matters, to act accordingly.However, as usual, they were not satisfied with avoiding failure but, on occasion, they wanted to bend their craving to the adversaries or even to eliminate them if these supposed an impediment in their object tivos, and for that Doctor Lambe reserved a very powerful weapon: l to black magic.

The mysterious

As you can imagine, someone with such gifts was a valuable weapon, the perfect ally It is for this reason that Duke George Villiers, a favorite of King Charles I of England, did not take long to propose an exclusive collaboration that would make him his personal advisor.All this coincides with the Eleven Years of Tyranny to which King Charles I submitted to his people.An unprecedented behavior in his reign, which public opinion attributed to the bad influences that surrounded him, the Duke of Villiers and the sorcerer Lambe.To the point that he said: « Who rules the Kingdom? The King. Who rules the King? The Duke. Who rules the Duke? The Devil "(Who rules England? The King.Who rules the King? The Duke.And who rules the Duke? The Devil). As you can imagine, the" Devil "was Lambe.

The mysterious

But were such accusations based? Did Lambe really have magical powers? The chronicles of the time are contradictory, some call it a chatter, while others consider it the very devil capable of invoking evil spirits, of mastering the elements at will...So pointing out this is very difficult, but recent studies on witchcraft in the Middle Ages they reveal that anyone who did not respond to the archetype of the time was accused of witchcraft and John Lambe, in this sense, broke all the schemes.It is said that he had a feminine appearance, single and without commitment, something very criticized in that then reason to be labeled as a sorcerer, but the cunning of this "Devil" was to take advantage of the talk and live with them cunningly, until reaching a comfortable position.
