Saint Cyprian’s Day: history, tips and prayer of the saint

History of Saint Cyprian

Cyprian was born around the year 250, in Antioch, into a very wealthy pagan family. Seeing their son’s talent and curiosity for the occult sciences, his parents intended him to dedicate himself to the gods and study esoterism. He dedicated his life to these studies, learning about astrology, spells, sacrifices and everything that involves the mystical world.

To improve himself, Cipriano made contact with influential sorcerers, such as the witch Évora, the most feared of those times. When she died, she left all her secrets, spells and manuscripts to him, who then became a very powerful sorcerer, gathering all his knowledge in the “Book of the Black Cover” – controversial to this day.

The wizard, who was already quite famous, also used his magic for the negative side, often calling the demon himself. Once, invoking evil, he tried to launch a mandinga against a Christian, but he was opposed. From that day, he converted to Christianity and turned from wickedness.

The devil, angry, began to pursue him throughout his life. But, the already considered saint, he always won all disputes against evil!

Amen!”
