Sitting a block away from the U.S. Capitol, the Folger
Shakespeare Library holds one of the most unusual manuscripts of
magic ever discovered. The book was written around the year 1580, a
decade before Shakespeare began writing in earnest. This is a
manual of magicians in search of results, who scribbled down
whatever secrets they could find.
One of the most unusual collections of magical lore ever
assembled, The Book of Oberonincludes: Rituals for summoning
several different spirits, including Oberon (one of the main
characters of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream), Satan,
Mosacus, Birto, and others A ceremony to call Baron, a spirit
associated with the notorious Gilles de Rais Several intriguing
drawings of spirits and other curious beings A list of spirits
similar to, but predating, that found in the magical manual the
Goetia Lore and rituals for the summoning of fairies Pages of
talismans for various purposes One of the oldest known copies of
the magical manual The Enchiridion, said to have been given to
Charlemagne by Pope Leo III Charms for toothache, bleeding, and the
capture of thieves Headings and words written in cipher, most of
which we have managed to decipher An account of a mystical
brotherhood of magicians that seems to have ties to the conspiracy
against the author and playwright Christopher Marlowe
